Pretty noticeable that Merkel isn’t talking to Obama and no longer uses a phone.

You do know that Russia Today is a wholly-owned propaganda wing of Putin’s party, right?

[Mike Darancette]

In that letter the German intellectuals said that Putin’s speech “appealed directly to the German people” and deserved a “positive response that corresponds to the true feelings of Germans.”

Wow that I bad on so many levels. Will they be divvying Eastern Europe now. That doesn't sound so intellectual to me.

Victoria Nuland
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs
US Department of State

Proudly announces about 7 minutes into this video that the US has “invested” $5 billion in helping Ukraine realize its “European aspirations”.

“NATO expansion into the former Soviet republics, the creation of military bases in the former Warsaw Pact countries and the setup of an umbrella missile defense system in Eastern Europe, while unilaterally withdrawing from the ABM Treaty by the US is a flagrant violation of promises,”the letter reads.

Where can we find such patriots? [sniffing, wiping a tear]

Ah, the German “intellectuals”.

Guess they miss the good old days with the Fuhrer and Putin brings back memories of the Sudetenland.

The sheeple mostly have no clue.

International banking is quietly behind the scenes of the West, Russia and Asia - the whole world.

All world leaders know this. None of them can say it publicly.

The bankers give their vassals some latitude to jockey for geopolitical position.

But this is all just the “grand game” of geopolitics, a game run by the bankers.

So, with national leaders, the pot calls the kettle black.

But they’re all vassals.

They try to balance a) the bankers wicked commands and schemes against b) their own self-interest and c) trying to do the right thing for the people of their nation.

Needless to say the last on that list is touted publicly very loudly, but privately ignored, if not actively worked against. Of course, the first two on that list are never mentioned publicly.

Note that Russia now uses the “commonwealth” model as done by the UK and Europe.

Many German intellectuals, like the former Chancellor and Foreign Minister, are probably on Russia’s payroll.
