The Western public doesn’t know it, but Washington and its European vassals are convincing Russia that they are preparing to attack. Eric Zuesse reports on a German newspaper leak of a Bundeswehr decision to declare Russia to be an enemy nation of Germany.
According to a report issued on June 6th in German Economic News (Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, or DWN), the German government is preparing to go to war against Russia, and has in draft-form a Bundeswehr report declaring Russia to be an enemy nation. DWN says: “The Russian secret services have apparently thoroughly studied the paper.
In advance of the paper’s publication, a harsh note of protest has been sent to Berlin: The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, Alexei Puschkow, has posted the Twitter message: ‘The decision of the German government declaring Russia to be an enemy shows Merkel’s subservience to the Obama administration.’”
This is the interpretation that some Russian politicians themselves have put on the NATO military bases that Washington is establishing on Russia’s borders.
Washington might intend the military buildup as pressure on President Putin to reduce Russian opposition to Washington’s unilateralism. However, it reminds some outspoken Russians such as Vladimir Zhirinovsky of Hitler’s troops on Russia’s border in 1941.
Zhirinovsky is the founder and leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party and a vice chairman of the Russian parliament. In a confrontation with the editor of a German newspaper, Zhirinovsky tells him that German troops again on Russia’s border will provoke a preventive strike after which nothing will remain of German and NATO troops. “The more NATO soldiers in your territory, the faster you are going to die. To the last man. Remove NATO from your territory!”

The Dems have figured out that Hillary can’t win. So... they are going to start a war and dump it on Trump.
Germany won’t even protect itself against terrorist refugees much less go to war against Russia.
Not a chance. Germany is never going to war with Russia. They don’t want to. They can’t. And there would be nothing to gain from it. Germany does not have the army, the weapons nor the population to do it.
Germany may pressure Russia through its connections with the EU, IMF, WB, WTO and NATO. That is probably happening now with the blessings of several other countries. But that is a long way from going to war. And probably more effective.
Russian probably figuring Germany for a terrorist nation for harboring all those murdering rapists.
tell that to the muslim intermeddling alien occupier.....
he’s been building and stoking chaos for a reason.
It sounds crazy to me, but the Hardliners in Russia will go ape-shit about Germany Tanks coming even close to the border.
bttt
They didn’t have the military to try it in 1933 either.
Paul Craig Roberts is an antisemitic loony. He should stick to economics where he is a little saner.
Putin has more of a survival instinct than Merkel
“Germany won’t even protect itself against terrorist refugees much less go to war against Russia.”
Besides, the German Military is so “unionized” that they won’t fight more than 8 hours a day unless they get OT! Do they think that Russian troops will fight to such a schedule?
Uh, yeah, well good luck with that.
That’s right. They stop what they are doing when the 8 hours is up. The Germans would run from the Russians after a few of them were killed.
“They didn’t have the military to try it in 1933 either”
Perhaps the German military is better prepared today with more advanced equipment supplied by us like the Lactation Kits we require our front line units to have.
Absolutely ludicrous...The Bundeswehr? I doubt they could March to Vienna, let alone tackle Russia. Germany is letting themselves be over-run by Muslims and you’d expect them to launch a war on Russia? They should try someone on their own level first, maybe they can handle Denmark.
No chance does Germany go to war with Russia, nor NATO either.
Germany doesn’t even meet its commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense. Currently, it is spending 1.2% compared to the US 3.6%. Germany is not going to war against any one.
Ummmm. No
Paul Craig Roberts is a certifiable nut job. He is Lew Rockwell material
