Germany Suicides Even Harder

It’s very, very difficult to imagine what the NATO mouthpieces currently pretending to run Germany think they’re going to accomplish by threatening to suicide Germany even harder by throwing its young men and women on the same altar they’ve sacrificed the German economy:

Now Germany reveals plans to mobilise national defence and 800,000 NATO troops after Kremlin nuke threat – as US announces new weapon Kyiv can use to stop Russia after allowing long-range missile strikes.

Ukraine’s strike on an ammunition depot in Russia’s Bryansk region yesterday with US-supplied ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) meets these criteria, with Moscow saying that it marks a ‘new phase of the Western war’. ‘This is, of course, a signal that they want to escalate,’ Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said, while foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin said attempts by NATO countries to facilitate Ukrainian missile strikes deep inside Russia ‘would not go unpunished’.

In Eastern Ukraine, Russia’s forces are steadily grinding towards the logistics hub of Pokrovsk having taken large swathes of territory in the Donetsk region in recent months. Putin’s army took 185 square miles of Ukrainian territory in October, a record since the first weeks of the conflict in March 2022, according to an analysis of data provided by the real-time conflict tracker from the Institute for the Study of War.

Now, where are those “800,000 NATO troops” going to come from? Not Poland, the Scandinavian countries or the Baltics. They’re talking about US troops, mostly, but there is no way President Trump is going to send more US troops to Germany; he’s far more likely to withdraw all the troops that are already there.

Simplicius points out that the IMF, the World Bank, and the CIA have now all confirmed that Russia is decisively winning its war with NATO and its member states on economic terms as well as in the military context.

A couple months back, you may recall World Bank announced that as per their calculations, Russia had finally surpassed both Germany and Japan in GDP PPP. However, the official IMF and CIA figures still scoffed at this, with Russia trailing both countries on their counts. This allowed the popular narrative to be maintained that the World Bank figures were some kind of inaccurate fluke or anomaly.

Well, the IMF has just done their latest report and has officially concluded that Russia has blown past both Germany and Japan as of 2024, and is now the number four economy in the world. And not only that, but the IMF has Russia in the lead by an even larger margin than World Bank. On top of which, the CIA also updated their numbers and likewise reflects Russia at the number four position.

This means that the longer Germany persists in its futile denial of the need to stop supporting Ukraine and encourage it to surrender, the worse off the Germans and the other Europeans will be. Time, attrition, and economics are all on the side of the Russians, and more importantly, their allies in China, North Korea, and Iran.

Should Have Stayed Neutral

Swedes are rapidly discovering that a) listening to their government is foolish and b) joining NATO has only reduced their national security by putting them at risk of being nuked.

Sweden is sending out five million pamphlets to residents urging them to prepare for the possibility of war, with instructions on how to stockpile food and even seek shelter during a nuclear attack, as fears grow of a conflict between Russia and NATO. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Stockholm has repeatedly urged Swedes to prepare both mentally and logistically for a possibile conflict, citing the worsening security situation in its vicinity.

The booklet ‘If Crisis or War Comes’, sent out by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), contains information about how to prepare for emergencies such as war, natural disasters, cyber attacks and terrorism.

‘An insecure world requires preparedness. The military threat to Sweden has increased and we must prepare for the worst – an armed attack,’ its new introduction states. In one of the more worrying excerpts, which harks back to advice given by governments during the darkest days of the Cold War, it informs people of the risk of nuclear weapons.

If they’d simply stayed neutral, they wouldn’t have to worry about going to war with a nuclear power. But, when you’re dumb enough to sign up for war as a US proxy, well, you’re going to assume a level of risk that you’re simply not going to be able to handle.

As Henry Kissinger once observed, while being an enemy of the USA is dangerous, to be its friend is fatal. NATO has not, cannot, does not, and will not protect anything.

If a small nation wants to stay out of a large war, neutrality is always its best bet. See: Portugal, Spain and Switzerland during WWII.

The Rage is Building

What did the politicians think would happen once resources began running out. How are the Germans going to pay for all those unproductive migrants and refugees when even Volkswagen is shutting down multiple plants? How long will the Spanish sleep in their cars when the foreigners sleep in four-star hotels?

The destruction of civil society is the price of believing all the wicked lies about equality, diversity, and inclusivity, about immigration being good for the economy, and about the moral duty to aid and abet the invasion of your country. It’s all obviously stupid in hindsight, to such an extent that historians will marvel that it could have ever happened, but it was every bit as stupid at the time, it’s just that it’s not possible to provide the material evidence to prove something that hasn’t happened yet.

And, unfortunately, the majority of people are totally immune to logic, as they vastly prefer reasoning based upon argumentum ad imaginarium.

France Shuts the Borders

At this point, Schengen is essentially dead. The EU and its “free movement of peoples” will eventually follow:

France is set to ramp up the intensity of border controls with European neighbours amid fears of uncontrolled migration and terror threats just weeks after Germany announced a similar policy. French authorities informed the European Commission last week that its borders with six of its neighbouring Schengen members – namely Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Switzerland – will be reinforced with increased checks as of November 1 for at least six months.

We’ve definitely passed the peak of the pendulum. And given how far it reached, it’s going to snap back with a historical vengeance.

Moldova Rejects EU

This may mark the death knell for the EU. Once every Central and Eastern European state was desperate to join. Now, a number of existing members want out and formerly-prospective members no longer see any benefit to joining:

Voters in Moldova have rejected the government-backed proposal to enshrine eventual integration with the EU in the former Soviet country’s constitution. During Sunday’s referendum, held simultaneously with a presidential election, voters were asked whether the constitution should be amended to reflect the “irreversible European course” of the country and affirm the “integration into the European Union as a strategic objective” of the nation.

With more than 86% of the ballots counted, 54.55% voted against the proposal, while 45.45% voted in favor, according to the preliminary results cited by the news channel TVR.

BRICS is the smarter bet anyhow. But staying out of the EU is paramount. Never trust anyone who wants you to sign on to something “irreversible”. It’s almost as obvious as requiring you to sign in blood.

UPDATE: And now it looks as if this “vote” is about as legitimate as the faked 2020 US Presidential election. The referendum was suddenly turned around at the last minute with a flood of YES votes being found in the final hours. Democracy is increasingly nothing more than a flat-out fraud that inverts the genuine will of the people.

Potrivit rezultatelor preliminare, după prelucrarea a 98,74% din buletinele de vot din cadrul Referendumului constituțional 50,24% au votat DA și 49,76% au votat NU.

This probably means that Russia will have to invade Moldova sooner or later to free its people from Clown World.

The Well Runs Dry

France and Germany are throwing in the towel on Ukraine. Not all at once, of course, but the writing is clearly on the wall.

The heavyweights of Europe — France and Germany announced a reduction in funding for Ukraine. Not far from the time when The EU will also abandon anti-Russian sanctions, the observer is sure Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

France, which promised assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 3 billion euros this year, reduced it by 1 billion, that is, by a third. This is caused by problems in the budget — its deficit for 2024 may amount to about 6% of the country’s GDP, which is unacceptable, according to EU rules. French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecorniu in an interview with Politico clarified that he does not plan to request additional funds from the parliament for Kiev by the end of this year.

Germany has also cut aid to Ukraine by half since the new year. According to German media, according to the budget for 2025, it will decrease from 7.1 billion euros this year to 4 billion euros next year.

It would be much better to make Ukraine go cold turkey and put pressure on the Kiev regime to surrender unconditionally instead of pointlessly wasting more Ukrainian lives in a futile effort to maintain a false posture that will neither fool nor impress the Russians into settling for less than they believe they require for a lasting peace. In the aftermath of the NATO expansion and Minsk betrayals, Russia is not in a hurry to reach any sort of settlement that is simply going to lead to another war in a decade when its position might be less advantageous.

The undeniable military reality is that Ukraine has to accept whatever Russia decides to demand; only then can the massive work of attempting to rebuild a smaller and less ambitious Ukrainian state begin. The other option is that Russia will simply continue its war of attrition until Kiev falls to its forces, so the sooner Kiev surrenders, the better for everyone.

1.8 million casualties, of which 780,000 are KIA since February 2022. And for what? About the only substantive accomplishment was permitting Kiev to serve as a massive short-term money-laundering center for the global elite.

The inflexion point has been reached. The Pax Americana, the neo-liberal world order, and the post-WWII era have ended. The locii of power have shifted from London and Washington to Moscow and Beijing. This is the new global reality. This is now the context in which all geopolitical and military and economic policies must be understood.

Hungary Opts Out

An object lesson in why government by treaty does not, and cannot, ever work:

Hungary has joined the Netherlands in seeking an opt-out from European Union rules on asylum, a minister has said, as the country’s nationalist leader Viktor Orban is expected to make waves at the European Parliament on Tuesday.

Last month, the Dutch government, which is dominated by Geert Wilders’ hard-right party, declared an ‘asylum crisis’ and requested an opt-out of the common asylum policy from Brussels. It said the move was justified so it can provide ‘housing, health care and education’ to its citizens, but the European Commission responded by saying that it expected no ‘immediate changes’.

The European treaties are binding agreements, and any exemptions can only be made with the agreement of all 27 EU member states.

“Binding agreements” are the way Satan tries to claim your soul. This is as true of nations as it is of individuals. The fact is that there are no agreements that can ever be regarded as permanently “binding” for sovereign nations. The sooner that the remaining EU member-states realize this and follow Great Britain’s lead in ridding themselves of their would-be rulers, the better.

No nation should ever sign any agreement that purports to be binding, permanent, or final.

Will, Not Could

Emmanuel Macron is half-right. But it’s not a situation where the European Union “could die”, it’s one where the collapse of the European Union is absolutely inevitable.

Emmanuel Macron has admitted that the EU ‘could die’ as he issued a dire warning about the bloc’s economy. The French President told the Berlin Global Dialogue event that the EU was over-regulating and under-investing. He also pointed out that both China and the USA outstripped the 27 member-bloc in economic output and investment.

In words reported by the Daily Telegraph, Macron said: ‘The EU could die, we are on a verge of a very important moment. Our former model is over – we are over-regulating and under-investing. In the two to three years to come, if we follow our classical agenda we will be out of the market’.

One of the central tenets of the EU is the “free movement of people”. Which is a necessary component of free trade; the benefits of free trade necessarily derive from labor and capital flowing to the places where production is most advantageous. This already produces serious problems, but with financialization, globalism, and debt completely interfering with these flows, the costs of free movement are even worse than they should be while the benefits are never realized.

Either the nations collapse into civil war and barbarism or the EU does. And it’s clear that more than one-third of the native populations have already figured this out. The worse things get, the more people will understand that the status quo is simply not an option.

And, of course, they’re doing what all bureaucrats do when faced with failure: prescribing more of the poison that is already killing them.

Former Italian Prime Minister and former European Central Bank chief, Mario Draghi, said that the bloc cannot compete alone with the likes of China and the United States and needs a far more integrated single market to create pan-European businesses of the require global scale.

Freedom Wins in Austria

Clown World’s media pretends to be shocked that a party opposing futile permawars and migrant rape should prove to be popular.

Austria’s hard-right Freedom Party has topped the country’s national elections, winning the popular vote for the first time in its history. While the party has been in government several times, it’s the first time it has won the most votes, having gained the support of 29.1 per cent of electors, according to projections based on more than 60 per cent of the votes counted.

But even with the victory, it is still uncertain that the party will be able to form the next government.

Its leader Herbert Kickl, 55, has vowed to transform the country into ‘Fortress Austria’, slamming the current government’s ‘failed migration policy’ as being to blame for the Islamist terror plot on a Taylor Swift concert. Mr Kickl and his party have promoted ‘remigration’, the controversial concept which promotes the expulsion of immigrants of non-European ethnic backgrounds who are deemed to have failed to integrate.

And a reminder, as if any was needed, that conservatives are always worse than useless.

Based on current projections, the conservative People’s Party, led by current Chancellor Karl Nehammer, is on course to become the second largest group, with 26.3 per cent of votes. Addressing his party’s result, Mr Nehammer said it was ‘bitter’ that it missed out on first place, but noted that he had brought it back from lower poll ratings. He once again ruled out a coalition with Mr Kickl, adding ‘what I said before the election, I also say after the election.’

Europe’s Economic Suicide

This is not an accident. It’s not as if everyone with an economics degree didn’t see the economic meltdown coming when the EU decided to prevent its member states from using Russian gas:

The European Union decided to analyze why their economy is collapsing. They commissioned the former head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, to figure this out.

It is noteworthy that the study was commissioned by the European Commission, but the conclusions were still disappointing. Draghi came to the conclusion that the basis of Europe’s economic problems is the cost of energy for industry – electricity is 158% more expensive than in the US, natural gas – 345%.

Thus, in fact, Ursula von der Leyen’s department confirmed its own professional incompetence with statistics and research, because thanks to anti-Russian sanctions, there was a vast jump in energy prices and, as a result, a decline in the economy.

The wicked and self-destructive nature of the EU can be seen in its embrace of migrants – who are supposed to help the economy, but are massive net economic and social negatives – combined with its rejection of Russian energy – which was always going to destroy the economy. There are only two reasons for member states to continue to stay in the EU: 1) transfer payments to the member state and 2) corrupt politicians working against the interests of the nation.
