There is a Communist-radical Muslim alliance against the West. China is the senior partner, as Germany is in the EU. Russia is the junior partner, like France in the EU. North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, and other leftist regimes, and radical Muslim states like Iran are all teamed up against the Western powers. The clear goal is to topple American hegemony.
And we are helping them succeed.
I am cautiously optimistic (or more accurately not extremely pessimistic) about Germany. People still have a say there and I see a lot of people angry about the Sholz-s appeasement policies and the reign of Merkel is being re-evaluated.
Hope it is not just my wishful thinking.
French are just crazy in a French way. I don’t understand how they think, but at least they often don’t end up going with the worst choice (even if flirting with it on the way).
