An assessment is provided by RT, today, of where Germany is heading with the Green-led hawkish geopolitics against Russia and China along with the exit from nuclear power. Under the headline, “The Greens are dragging Germany down with their foreign and energy policies,” RT forecasts Germany’s downfall, if there is no change of policies. The following excerpts indicate the key points of the RT evaluation:
“Now, having seized control of the country’s foreign ministry, the Greens are seeking to dismantle Berlin’s highly favorable geopolitical relationship with China while also going full-throttle in their confrontation with Moscow. Gone are the days of pragmatism, prudence and common sense, and here are the days of divisive liberal fundamentalism, which has allowed the U.S. to readily dismantle the foundations of Germany’s prosperity and economic strength. (Foreign Minister) Baerbock is a disaster, and she’s taking Germany down with her.”
“Germany’s future now looks bleak. The escalation of the Ukraine conflict, combined with Washington’s likely but vehemently denied destruction of Nord Stream 2, has destroyed the foundations of the country’s energy security and its industrial competitiveness,” RT notes, “[Foreign Minister Annalena] Baerbock now seems content to swing the demolition ball at her country’s relationship with China, its largest trading partner. She has sought to unveil new rules to discourage the expansion of German businesses in the country, using the talking point of “reducing dependence.” Germany’s trade with China was worth €245 billion ($270.8 billion) in 2021. But the question is, if not China, then who? Because look at the consequences of this ‘reduced dependence’ on Russia. The Greens are subserviating Germany to the U.S. agenda and are actively dismantling everything that has made Germany successful, in exchange for practically nothing.
