German Chancellor, Angela Merkel,
completely confirmed a recent article
by the blog, about the role of Germany and its strategic plans to
gain independence from the US empire, to dominate in Europe.
As has been analyzed:
While Greece was the major victim
of an economic war, Germany used its economic power and control of
the European Central Bank to impose unprecedented austerity,
sado-monetarism and neoliberal destruction through silent financial
coups in Ireland,
Italy
and Cyprus.
Germany would never let the United
States to lead the neo-colonization in Europe, as it tries (again) to
become a major power with its own sphere of influence, expanding
throughout eurozone and beyond. As the situation in Europe becomes
more and more critical with the ongoing economic and refugee crisis
and the rise of the Far-Right and the nationalists, the economic war
mostly between the US and the German big capital, creates an even
more complicated situation.
The decline of the US-German
relations has been exposed initially with the NSA
interceptions scandal, yet, progressively, the big
picture came on surface, revealing a transatlantic
economic war between banking and corporate giants.
In times of huge multilevel crises, the big capital always
intensifies its efforts to eliminate competitors too. As a
consequence, the US has seen another key ally, Germany, trying to
gain a certain degree of independence in order to form its own
agenda, separate from the US interests.
From sputniknews:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
has warned European Union leaders they cannot rely on the "eternal
guarantee" of US support, as concerns continue to grow about
incoming President Donald Trump's commitment to trans-Atlantic ties.
Speaking to the press in Brussels
as she received an honorary joint doctorate from Ghent and Louvain
universities, Merkel said "traditional partners" could
no longer be relied upon to "closely cooperate" with Europe
on issues such as defense. Moreover, Merkel said to do so would
be "naive" at a time when the continent was facing its
"biggest challenges" in decades.
[...]
Andrea Frontini, policy analyst at
European Policy Centre, said Brexit and the incoming Trump
administration had made the need for European strategic autonomy in
security and defense matters "more and more compelling."
Merkel's statements could be
considered an official declaration of Germany's deeper desire to
become an autonomous power that will dominate in the European
continent.
It is obvious that Germany will
seek to take advantage both from Brexit and the Trump presidency.
Brexit will give the chance to
Germany to increase influence due to the change of power balance,
especially now that France appears weak - crawling behind Berlin's
austerity, sado-monetarism and neoliberal destruction. Of course,
things can become more complicated with the potential rise of Marine Le
Pen in power. Recall that, recently, Le Pen stated that she will take
France out of both EU and NATO.
Concerning the oncoming Trump
administration, it appears that Merkel is using it as a pretext to
justify the willingness of Germany to gain complete autonomy from the
US. The silent war between US and Germany has started long before
Trump, probably even before the major financial crisis of 2007-08.
In fact, it would not be
exaggerating to hypothesize that the German big capital was dreaming
to dominate in Europe since the fall of the Berlin wall. It has
started with the Treuhand operation through which it has looted the
public property of East Germany. Today it expands the operation
throughout eurozone with Greece being the most vandalized victim.
Greece is bancrupt. Not because of Austerity. Greece spend too much.

DeleteObsolete? Austerity came after Greece went bancrupt and wanted foreign money.
