https://www.rt.com/news/639537-germanys-new-militarization-revanchism/Germany’s new militarization: Revival of the spirit or blatant revanchism? (by Dmitry Medvedev)

In the spirit of the chauvinistic approaches of German political thought of the late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century, ingrained in the unconscious of the mental elite, the professional neighborhood of the Federal Republic of Germany continued to dehumanize Soviet Russia, crossing it out of the ‘civilized’ world. As the well-known historian and a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Vladimir Pashuto wrote, with the collapse of Nazi Germany, the interpretation of the Russian-European subject additionally underwent a change in the sense that Russia was became an enemy of integral Europe reasonably than of Hitler’s Europe. Its non-European fundamentals – each spiritual and social – have been criticized. It was declared a phenomenon hostile to Europe, missing European roots and standing exterior of the historical past of Europe.¹³ Every thing prompt that no respect ought to be proven in the direction of an ‘alien’ factor.

Such sentiments weren’t solely not suppressed, but additionally inspired by the Bonn authorities: the ‘cannon fodder’ for the bloodbath with the Soviet Union was to be motivated and was not alleged to ask pointless questions. It isn’t for nothing that the reference of the USSR KGB of July 12, 1978,¹⁴ ready on the foundation of info from the West Berlin residency, reported that there have been 17 neo-Nazi organizations on this city-state with a particular worldwide authorized standing, with which the authorities of this political entity fought on a residual precept.

In 1987, the USSR Embassy in Bonn pointed to substantive discussions in the Federal Republic of Germany on revising attitudes in the direction of the interval of Nationwide Socialism. One of the clear demonstrations of a large nationalist wave in the Federal Republic of Germany in these years was the rising public dialogue to realize the so-called ‘non secular flip’.¹⁵ The slogans of ‘new patriotism’ and ‘nationwide identification’ have been launched. Intellectuals and the institution extensively manipulated calls to free the younger era of Germans (who grew up and became the present ‘elitarians’ and rabid militarists: Merz, von der Leyen, and Pistorius) from the burden of historic duty, self‑humiliation, and a posh of nationwide inferiority and guilt. The Germans, they are saying, have already been punished and are conscious of the abnormality of their state of affairs, when Germany was declared “a hotbed of worldwide an infection and the supply of all evil in the world” for the crimes of World Warfare II.¹⁶ Talking on November 17, 1986, Alfred Dregger, chairman of the CDU/CSU Group in the Bundestag, mentioned: “It’s time to lastly put an finish to the interpretation of historical past imposed by the victorious powers.”¹⁷ Elaborating on this argument, he proposed to return to phrases with the previous and to pay tribute to all those that misplaced their lives – together with each the victims of Nazism and German servicemen. In flip, Franz Josef Strauss, minister-president of Bavaria and chairman of the CSU, referred to as in 1987 for ‘a return to the traditionally cleansed, European-oriented and wholesome German nationwide consciousness’.¹⁸ Today, we see how these shoots of virulent nationalism and chauvinism – hidden behind the fig leaf of ‘nationwide identification, patriotism and Europeanness’ – have yielded a bountiful harvest in the kind of a new German revanchism. And it’s time to acknowledge that the inheritance of the Third Reich has yielded an excellent harvest in the FRG in the 2020s!

As we speak, the senior political management of the Federal Republic of Germany has declared Russia to be ‘the foremost menace to safety and peace’. In Berlin, the authorities have formally proclaimed a course aimed toward inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia.¹⁹ Probably the most aggressive Russophobes, whose ancestors fought with bestial ferocity on the Japanese Entrance in World Warfare II, rapturously urge ‘to point out the Russians what it’s prefer to lose a conflict’.²⁰ There’s large-scale propaganda brainwashing of public opinion, with theses continuously being injected about the digital inevitability of a army conflict with Russia by 2029. In the first army technique in Germany’s historical past, titled ‘Duty for Europe’, which was submitted to parliament on April 22, 2026, by Protection Minister Boris Pistorius, the Russian Federation is recognized as a basic menace to the ‘rules-based world order’. It’s alleged that Moscow goals to weaken the unity of the Alliance and to undermine the resilience of transatlantic hyperlinks for the objective of increasing its affect. On this regard, makes an attempt to determine dialogue ought to be suppressed, whereas army stress on Russia ought to solely be elevated. In different phrases, the technique of pursuing a large-scale revanche has now been formally adopted.

The brainwashing of younger folks by means of mainstream conventional media, in addition to the countering of Russian ‘hybrid propaganda’, has been elevated to the degree of official state coverage. Nonetheless, a long time of strident ultra-liberal agitation are actually producing the reverse impact. Dissatisfied by the brief‑sighted choices of the narrow-minded German management in each home and international affairs, the youthful era, in opposition to the backdrop of a discrepancy between official statistics and the actual state of the nationwide economic system, is now swinging sharply ‘to the proper’. The collapse of multiculturalism, the lack of a transparent imaginative and prescient of the future, and the rejection of conventional values present fertile floor for the development of right-wing extremist actions that enchantment to ressentiment in the direction of a powerful nationwide state. It doesn’t take a lot creativeness to see the place such willful or non-willful video games will take German society.

The method of lastly eliminating the political, authorized and ethical ‘vestiges’ of World Warfare II in Germany has gained explicit momentum following the starting of the particular army operation. It’s apparent to anybody that this has merely served as a handy excuse for drastically toughening anti-Russian rhetoric, for a theatrical worry of Russia, and for pushing bilateral relations right into a frenziedly confrontational dimension. Neither Germany, nor, for that matter, the European Union as a complete, had both a trigger or goal grounds to so unreservedly ‘arise’ for Ukraine and to designate Moscow as their ‘enemy ceaselessly’ – because it was mindlessly and arrogantly said by the little gray mouse of German international coverage, the international minister with a beautiful surname, Wadephul.

Following the EU’s belligerent coverage set out in March 2025 in the Joint White Paper for European Protection Readiness 2030,²¹ the German authorities is working to remodel the Bundeswehr into Europe’s strongest military and speed up its rearmament.²² Plans have been unveiled to lift the licensed energy from the current 181,000 to 460,000 active-duty servicemen and reservists. On August 27, 2025, the German authorities swiftly accredited, with out amendments, the draft legislation on the reform of conscription to the Bundeswehr put ahead by Protection Minister Boris Pistorius, based mostly on a voluntary service precept however retaining the choice of a swift return to pre‑2011 conscription.²³ Largely because of the alarmism of the authorities and the brainwashing of younger folks by state propaganda, the German management is now capable of report a rise in the quantity of people keen to undertake voluntary army service. As of early March 2026, 16,000 folks had utilized to affix the armed forces, 20% greater than in the similar interval of 2025, whereas total greater than 5,000 recruits joined in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 14%  improve in contrast with the starting of the earlier 12 months.

No expense is spared on army adventurism, as in the twentieth century. Based on the Stockholm Worldwide Peace Analysis Institute (SIPRI), Germany’s combination army spending in 2024 reached $88.5 billion (+28% in contrast with 2023),²⁴ making it the largest in Europe. The Particular Fund for the Bundeswehr, value €100 billion, has turn into the major supply of financing, making it doable to deliver army expenditure as much as 2% of GDP. In the nation’s accredited 2026 finances amounting to €524.54 billion, the German authorities intend to spend over €82 billion on protection (specifically, preparations for conflict), which represents a rise of €20 billion in comparison with 2025. Whole army spending, at the side of the funds of the aforementioned particular fund, is predicted to quantity to roughly €108 billion. At the finish of February 2026, the German Ministry of Protection reported on the ‘profitable outcomes of the actions’ of the Bundeswehr procurement division in 2025, indicating that 103 main initiatives, every with a price of no less than €25 million, had been submitted to the Bundestag for approval, that contracts amounting to a powerful €34 billion had been concluded for the procurement of in-demand weapons and army tools, and that, inside the framework of beforehand accredited initiatives, deliveries to the armed forces had amounted to roughly €24 billion. Rolling in money since Berlin introduced the ‘change of eras’ as a result of of the state of affairs in Ukraine, the native protection sector expresses satisfaction that nationwide producers have acquired as a lot as €109 billion out of the complete quantity spent by the nation on army functions in the years 2020-2025. Due to the liberalization of export controls, Germany has moved from sixth to fourth in the rating of the largest arms exporters. Capitalizing on the particular traits of fight operations throughout the unprovoked aggression in opposition to Iran and noting the inefficiency of using pricey interceptor missiles in opposition to drones, the German protection {industry} is actively selling the ‘Skyranger’ short-range air protection system, claiming that the interception of a single UAV would price solely $4,000. Apparently, solely sluggishness prevented German protection {industry} dealmakers with their Wunderwaffe from following in the steps of the Krivoy Rog clown throughout his absurd tour of the Persian Gulf states in late March 2026, the place he tried to promote them interceptor missiles as half of the help from Bandera’s riffraff.

Many budgeted initiatives are multi-year, signalling to {industry} that Berlin views rearmament as a long-term dedication.²⁵ Plans have been made for the opening of territorial subdivisions of the Bundeswehr’s procurement division in cities wherein massive technical universities are positioned. The speed of focused army R&D is accelerating, whereby as a substitute of conducting analysis in basic sciences, younger abilities are being inspired, following the outdated and dangerous custom, to begin fascinated with find out how to develop lethal new Tigers, Panthers and V-weapons.

On this context, the German dependence on international army provides is being ignored. Critically essential parts for the fashionable stock of weapons are sometimes successfully outsourced and procured overseas. Even the main home arms firm, Rheinmetall, serving as the major provider of numerous army tools to the Bundeswehr, refuses to introduce its personal know-how whereas in search of speedy income from the fulfilment of state protection contracts. All that is compensated by purchases from different Western producers, simply to not lose the standing of the unique Bundeswehr service supplier to the authorities. Specifically, throughout the go to of the head of Germany’s Ministry of Protection to Australia on March 26, 2026, an settlement was introduced between Rheinmetall and the Australian subsidiary of Boeing (specifically, the United States) on the improvement of autonomous unmanned fight plane utilizing stealth know-how, with a warhead of greater than 100 kg and a spread of greater than 1,000 km, meant for the successors of the Luftwaffe. The degradation of German scientific thought and elevated dependence on the United States is clear.

Preparations are being undertaken in an accelerated method for a possible confrontation with the Russian Federation regarding the enchancment of infrastructure. The federal state and municipal ranges of authorities, in addition to regional enterprise, are actively inclined to completely implement the 2024 Operational Plan for Germany.²⁶ It envisages Germany turning into the foremost transit hub for the motion of a mass of NATO troops to the alliance’s ‘jap flank’. Columns of Bundeswehr and allied troops inside NATO will now be capable to cross to German ports on the Baltic Sea and to the Polish border with out prior consent. Native authorities are being strongly urged to arrange the civilian inhabitants for an armed battle, specifically: to elaborate detailed plans for the safety of crucial infrastructure, to counter sabotage operations, and to equip bomb shelters.

Members of the enterprise neighborhood are focused by the army and political actors. Based on the Operational Plan for Germany talked about above, the foremost enterprises ought to have in mind of their personnel coverage the excessive chance of a pointy large-scale discount in labor assets by mobilizing these match for army service. Opposite to being mere anecdotes popularized in the USSR – specifically that pasta-factory equipment could possibly be rapidly tailored for the manufacturing of 7.62 mm rounds – such eventualities are at present being carried out in Germany. Actual stipulations are being created for the speedy restructuring of civilian {industry} for army functions and for the graduation of manufacturing of the defense-related product vary. The Bundeswehr is hereby licensed to grab, free of cost, sure items, tools and equipment for its personal wants.

The military-industrial advanced and the German political institution have already solid a sturdy lobbying alliance, a improvement that strengthens the function of the protection {industry} in the making of choices which can be most essential for each the home and international coverage of Germany. Humanity remembers the extraordinarily harmful linkage between protection {industry} actors and political figures in the Thirties and Forties. Then the omnivorous perspective of the ‘retailers of loss of life’ in the direction of the sources of their income, mixed with their sympathies for Nationwide Socialism, plunged the world into the abyss of World Warfare II. Having rejected pacifism as a societal worth, to which previous generations arrived solely by means of immense tragedy, the heirs of Krupp, Thyssen and Bosch are as soon as once more eagerly enterprise authorities contracts for the manufacturing of army items, with out hesitating to construct their enterprises upon blood. The bankers are usually not falling behind, having solid apart all ethical taboos that when existed on the large-volume financing of the military-industrial advanced – it’s now thought of justified to applicable the ‘helicopter cash’ that protection enterprises obtain from the state. On this context, it will not be lengthy earlier than some of the present German financiers so ‘free’ themselves from the legacy of the previous and turn into impressed by the prospects of a new campaign to the East as half of the ‘change of eras’ coverage that they’d dangle portraits of Hjalmar Schacht and Walther Funk – the architects of the Third Reich’s military-economic coverage. There’s a well-known saying from the time of the French Revolution: “Ils n’ont rien appris, ni rien oublié.”²⁷

In the meantime, the normal situation of Germany’s economic system appears to not concern the institution, which has chased after the geopolitical mirage of the republic’s ephemeral ‘management’ inside the European Union. Because of this of this self-distancing from home difficulties, the nation’s GDP in 2025 rose by solely 0.2% in actual phrases, adjusted for inflation.²⁸ The steadiness of commerce – which is of severe significance for the export-oriented German economic system – fell to 2.4% of GDP, the quantity of exports decreased by 0.3% (a decline recorded for the third consecutive 12 months), and the finances deficit for 2025 amounted to €107 billion.²⁹ The driving forces of Germany’s economic system – specifically the automotive, metallurgical and chemical sectors – have up to now failed to beat the disaster. Corporations are recording a major drop in income.³⁰ Deindustrialization is spreading extensively throughout the German federal states – the loss of jobs and the switch of industrial manufacturing from Germany to different European nations has already turn into a actuality. Machine-building vegetation, chemical factories and electronics manufacturing services – specifically Bosch, Henkel, MAN and Mercedes-Benz – are fleeing. They’re unable to stay aggressive as a result of the excessive price of electrical energy, the lengthening of the logistics provide chain brought on by self-harming sanctions in opposition to Russia, and the excessive tariffs imposed by the United States. As soon as an industrial large, Germany is turning into a chaotically managed workshop from which tools is being carried off. All of that is impacting the inhabitants – client exercise has floor to a close to halt, and even beer gross sales in 2025 fell to their lowest degree since 1993. Based on statements by the chancellor, the social welfare state can’t be financed given the assets at present obtainable in Germany.³¹ Does such a brutal actuality frighten the inept and boastful chancellor, in whom the blood of Nazi ancestors is boiling? Is he able to confront the actuality that he is not going to save the economic system by pumping cash into the nationwide military-industrial advanced, and that a whole lot of billions of printed and unsecured euros will probably be consumed by excessive vitality costs and an unwieldy paperwork? Apparently not. Whereas selling an anti-Russian militarist agenda, deep down he believes that the conflict will write off all the pieces.

The suggestion to think about buying its personal nuclear weapons has been cautiously launched in the German socio-political discourse, up to now, it has been accomplished considerably subtly and not directly, but insistently.³² Germany appears to now not be happy with taking part in NATO’s nuclear sharing preparations, the agreements between the United States and Germany that permit the Bundeswehr to make use of American tactical nuclear weapons in the occasion of army necessity; in peacetime, the weapons managed by the United States are saved at the Büchel Air Base, Rhineland-Palatinate. The justification put ahead for buying deadly weapons of mass destruction is painfully simplistic and overused: it’s allegedly aimed toward deterring Moscow’s aggressive coverage in Europe. It’s alleged to be a query of nationwide sovereignty. On high of this comes uncertainty about the future of the US army presence in Germany. Berlin is keen to amass American long-range land-based missiles at the earliest alternative, pursuant to the 2024 settlement with the sleepy Biden administration. It’s extremely possible that the authorities will discover appropriate websites for deploying SM-6 cell missile launch techniques, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and Darkish Eagle hypersonic boost-glide techniques in a single of the federal states finest ready in phrases of army logistics and infrastructure, comparable to Rhineland‑Palatinate. There’s little doubt that the Individuals will seize the geopolitical second, and Germany is solely required to supply its territory. Smug sheriffs from throughout the ocean are usually not bothered about the opinion of each an area inhabitants that has successfully been taken hostage and sane politicians who care about nationwide pursuits and don’t help the coverage carried out by the German elites. The present Trump administration sees missile deployment not as a gratuitous contribution to European safety however as a approach to improve its presence in a strategic location, enabling potential high-precision strikes in opposition to adversaries, and there’s no have to guess who the adversaries in query are. The one query is what the scale of the US missile deployment will probably be, whether or not it will likely be symbolic and provisional or will disrupt the strategic stability in Europe and thereby compel us to reply instantly.

For now, German officers are brainstorming the thought to create a nuclear umbrella along with the United Kingdom and France in the distant future and contemplating what function Germany may play. It has been reported that the initiative may obtain funding, and proposals on find out how to divide the roles have emerged: companions are anticipated to supply warheads, whereas Germany will present missile carriers and personnel. In the meantime, the inhabitants is being persuaded little by little that even when Germany hypothetically bets on the nuclear capabilities of Paris and London and makes an attempt to create a army alliance with them, this plan won’t yield outcomes. It’s unlikely that Germany will put up with the historically cumbersome French paperwork and France’s insistence on retaining unique management over its nuclear arsenal even below joint command. The identical goes for the questionable stance taken by London, which is unlikely to danger burning in a nuclear apocalypse for the sake of imprecise targets of transatlantic globalism. This can solid severe doubt on the justifiability of spending assets on widespread European strategic deterrence forces.

On this context, because it contemplates becoming a member of the ranks of nuclear powers, the German professional and scientific neighborhood proceeds from the assumption that, given the historically excessive educational standing in pure science and specialists in associated fields, it’s possible to promptly purchase non-peaceful nuclear competencies. As is thought, it’s theoretically doable to supply weapons‑grade materials from uranium bought in the international market utilizing services of a specialised enterprise in Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia, geared up with a fuel centrifuge enrichment cascade. It might take some three years to modernize the manufacturing, after which they may have it, 17 tons a 12 months, sufficient to supply about 340 warheads. In addition to, the analysis reactor at the Technical College of Munich in Garching holds extremely enriched uranium.

It is very important do not forget that the Nazis got here very near growing an atomic bomb in the Forties. Their aim went far past merely intimidating their enemies. What grandparents failed to perform in 1945, their grandchildren are decided to realize in the twenty first century. On this regard, there is no such thing as a assure that Berlin will limit its military-political approaches to utilizing a nuclear arsenal just for deterrence. One factor is definite: a nuclear warhead in Germany, whether or not shared with the UK and France or its personal, not solely makes the nation the Kremlin’s major European goal, as German media notice. It constitutes a gross violation of Germany’s worldwide obligations below Article II of the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;³³ in keeping with its provisions, every state celebration to the treaty, together with the Federal Republic of Germany, undertakes to not obtain the switch from any transferor in anyway of nuclear weapons or different nuclear explosive units or of management over such weapons or explosive devises instantly, or not directly; to not manufacture or in any other case purchase nuclear weapons or different nuclear explosive units; and to not search or obtain any help in the manufacture of nuclear weapons or different nuclear explosive units.

I’m satisfied that, below these circumstances, the worldwide neighborhood can and will urgently handle the concern of a German nuclear program. To suppress the odious nuclear ambitions at their earliest stage, this have to be adopted by corresponding measures, comparable to intensified IAEA inspections, condemnation by the UN Safety Council and legit worldwide restrictive measures. But even this could possibly be sacrificed on the altar of all-out revanche and the creation of a legendary Fourth Reich (Viertes Reich). The important thing query is, undoubtedly, how present-day German society will reply to this concept. To say the least, not all upstanding Bürger sympathize with the insane mannequin of the Viertes Reich. Nonetheless, given the inept migration coverage of the present German authorities, much more stunning developments can’t be dominated out.

Additionally it is value noting that even the prospect of Germany buying nuclear weapons unequivocally constitutes a casus belli, offering grounds for the use of all applicable response measures set out in the Primary Ideas of State Coverage of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence. I’d even go as far as to argue that these workout routines may elevate related issues in the United States, which advocates a new START IV with China as a celebration. How may it reply to the risk of a nuclear-armed Europe led by a militaristic Germany with a nuclear functionality past NATO management? I’ve a sense that the targets encoded in Germany’s new nuclear command and management techniques will lengthen past Russian territory.

Nonetheless, even when Germany doesn’t possess nuclear weapons, the state of affairs calls for vigilance. German politicians are pursuing greater than the reckless militarization of the nation. The latter is an element of a broader, extra intricate course of endangering thousands and thousands of folks worldwide. The present political course may result in nearly infernal eventualities. It reveals an effort to understand the darkest revanchist sentiments of the German elite. These ambitions go far past enhancing Germany’s profile in European politics. One shouldn’t overlook that Germany is the solely European state to have absolutely annexed neighboring nations twice since World Warfare I, stripping them of any semblance of independence and sovereignty. This pertains to the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich in 1938 (Anschluss) and the non‑forceful integration of the German Democratic Republic into the Federal Republic of Germany in 1990. Underneath the guise of reunifying the German nation, East Germany was successfully merged into West Germany. By the method, not one of the proponents of unification, together with, to our shame, high-ranking Soviet officers, contemplated observing typically accepted authorized procedures; there was no referendum to replicate residents’ will on this important concern. Current-day Germany is hardly ready to evaluate the legitimacy of territorial modifications in Europe and the genesis of these processes that adopted World Warfare II. The very basis of German statehood may be very questionable. All occasions since the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic might be assessed by means of the prism of the precept ex injuria jus non oritur (no authorized proper can come up from a wrongful act), ought to such a necessity come up. In different phrases, at the moment’s Federal Republic of Germany doesn’t actually have a correct authorized foundation for its very existence, to not point out its absolute dependency from the outset and its horrible vassal submission to the United States. As we speak’s German nonentities who bashfully try to as soon as once more place themselves as new Führers ought to preserve this in thoughts.

Upon taking energy, Chancellor Friedrich Merz hit the floor working in international coverage, suppressing the self‑preservation intuition. It seems that even pro-LGBT bipolar dreamers in Berlin are beginning to grasp that Germany is about to face a crushing geopolitical defeat in Ukraine. The EU coverage designed to counter the particular army operation, an effort wherein Germany sought to take the lead, has fallen brief of all its goals. It’s extremely unlikely that Germany will be capable to retreat to the rear and use the Lesser Russia as a blocking unit, probably alongside Poland, which Germany despises, if it intends to inflict vital harm on our forces.

They must be the ones taking motion. In order that they act. To mitigate the impression of failed geopolitical investments, Berlin goals to consolidate its place as the main army and political energy of the European Union. To repel a possible Russian invasion, pursuant to an settlement with Lithuania, Germany determined in spring 2025 to deploy the enhanced forty fifth Armored Brigade of the Bundeswehr close to Rūdninkai, 30 km from Belarus and 160 km from Kaliningrad Oblast. The slogan Kanonen statt Butter (Weapons over butter), typically used with respect to Nazi insurance policies, precisely describes the strategy to financing the enterprise: Vilnius has dedicated to cowl €2 billion in prices, an incredible sum for the small Baltic state, to construct the essential infrastructure for the German contingent, and Berlin might want to allocate round €11 billion to make sure the operational readiness of the brigade, whilst the German economic system wants these funds to deal with challenges as a result of macroeconomic instability. The unit has been geared up with the newest Leopard 2A8 tanks, communications techniques, self‑propelled artillery, and so on. To boost its fight functionality, the German authorities proceed to provide it with an unprecedented quantity of materiel; as an illustration, on February 25, 2026, the Finances Committee of the German Bundestag expedited a €540 million tranche for main German revolutionary startup Stark Defence, wherein well-known American entrepreneur Peter Thiel holds a major stake, and Helsing, each producing kamikaze drones. The Bundeswehr plans to arm the Lithuanian outpost with superior UAVs. Following the switch of the NATO multinational battle group, stationed in Lithuania since 2017, to the brigade’s command in February 2026, its energy now stands at 1,700 personnel. The unit is projected to achieve full fight readiness by the finish of 2027. It would comprise 4,800 army personnel and 200 civilians. This marks the first deployment of common German troops exterior the FRG since World Warfare II. The deployment has successfully established an outpost for an eventual assault in the Japanese course. It’s not possible to interpret this army construct‑up, coupled with supporting lengthy‑time period infrastructure, in another method.

Whether or not Germany plans to launch a new Drang nach Osten immediately, or whether or not it first intends to ship the Japanese European nations led by Poland into potential trenches, while performing as a blocking unit, makes little distinction to us. It’s as much as the management of Poland, which, together with the Third Reich, bears a major share of the duty for the outbreak of World Warfare II, to suppose who, on whose instigation and with what funding is fueling this militaristic hysteria in Poland, which Polish ultra-patriots regard as a battle for nationwide pursuits and an opportunity for geopolitical revanche in Japanese Europe. May or not it’s that the belligerent posture of the Polish elite in the direction of Moscow is, in truth, being subtly orchestrated by Berlin, which wields huge affect in Poland’s socio-political and data house, compelling the Polish elites to hate Russia much more, if that’s even doable, in defiance of logic and nationwide pursuits?

If Germany undergoes an enormous rearmament, but the Teutonic spirit in the end offers approach to cause, then the Poles ought to severely ponder in opposition to whom the German army machine will then be directed. There’s deep-seated historic animosity between Germany and Poland, geopolitical wounds are nonetheless uncooked, and, no matter politicians say, disputed territories actually do exist. The one method Berlin can get Warsaw to drop its claims for over $1 trillion in reparations is thru army motion. It’s no coincidence {that a} main NATO army train, ‘Steadfast Dart 26’, launched in January 2026 to observe the speedy deployment of alliance troops to the jap flank utilizing army transport plane, railway and motorized models, is happening with out the Polish Armed Forces. The wind in Europe is at all times altering quickly, however the Belvedere Palace is unwilling to acknowledge this. There are solely two historic paths open to Poland, as has been properly established: both to be a destitute vassal of Germany or to be a companion of Russia. America is much away, and the Individuals want neither Poland nor, for that matter, the relaxation of Europe. There isn’t a level in deluding oneself.

Other than hypothetical victims, comparable to Poland, which is supposedly nonetheless unaware of its future standing and proudly bears the title of Berlin’s ally, Germany additionally has true, loyal mates with whom it will possibly reminisce about days passed by and battles wherein they fought alongside one another. In cooperation with its NATO trench mate, Finland, Germany is actively engaged in harmful efforts to show the Baltic Sea into inside waters of the North Atlantic Alliance. At the summit of NATO and EU heads of state and authorities in Helsinki in January 2025, Berlin spearheaded the launch of a NATO patrol mission in the Baltic Sea (Baltic Sentinel) aimed toward hindering the free passage of Russian vessels. Given the complete lack of belief between the East and West, these extraordinarily dangerous actions may at the moment result in the worst-case situation.

In July 2025, Germany and the United Kingdom signed the Treaty of Kensington, which incorporates provisions on mutual help in the occasion of an assault, complementing the infamous Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty signed in Washington, in addition to on the joint improvement of army tools, comparable to fighter jets and missile techniques. Evidently which targets the missiles will probably be aimed toward.

It’s well-known that the German elite is determined to tug anybody inside attain into the processes of the accelerated improvement of precision-guided weapons with a spread of no less than 1,000 km; in different phrases, anybody who shares the German hysteria over the Russian menace. It’s no coincidence that ArianeGroup, a French-German firm with appreciable expertise in designing rockets, has entered into negotiations on this matter with a quantity of European nations. Alongside Norway, Germany wish to develop a sea-based supersonic cruise missile (Tremendous Sonic Strike Missile) with a bunch of European states that endorse their insurance policies, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the UK; below the European Lengthy‑Vary Strike Strategy venture, talks are ongoing about designing and subsequently producing a land-based cruise missile with a spread of over 2,000 km.

A particular function in the rearmament effort has been reserved for
the ex-Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. It’s evident that the present momentary ruler on Bankovaya Road is more and more perceived by Germany as a reincarnation of Pavlo Skoropadsky, the ‘Hetman of the total Ukraine’, who stayed in energy on German bayonets for a couple of months in 1918, or as a simulacrum of the stillborn operetta-like Austrian initiative to create a ‘Ukrainian throne’ and subsequently place on it Wilhelm Franz von Habsburg-Lothringen (additionally identified below the pseudonym ‘Vasyl Vyshyvany’). In different phrases, he’s seen as a compliant conduit for the pursuits of exterior sponsors, pursuits that run counter to the aspirations of the Lesser Russia’s inhabitants.

Demonstrating its resolve to raise cooperation with Kiev to the highest degree throughout all domains, a declaration of strategic partnership between the two nations was signed in Berlin on April 14, 2026, throughout the go to of the ‘bloody clown’. Germany has said its willingness to take care of unprecedented political, diplomatic and army help for Kiev, and to carry consultations on safety and protection points. Regardless of the well-known current corruption scandals surrounding the so-called ‘Mindich case’, which have uncovered
the all-consuming, shameless venality of the total Bandera management, the Germans are prepared to make use of their Ukrainian vassals as an inexpensive meeting plant for his or her merchandise. The aim is to show Ukraine into a bit laboratory mouse upon which sinister experiments are performed.

One other factor of this felony partnership will probably be a mechanism for normal consultations between the protection and international affairs chiefs, with the participation of representatives of main protection enterprises. Which will sound interesting, but in observe it boils right down to this: Ukraine is to be saved below everlasting watch and to supply exactly these items, in exactly these portions, that its handlers dictate. A battlefield intelligence-sharing settlement has been signed, below which the Armed Forces of Ukraine will share with the Bundeswehr their expertise in working Delta software program, offering real-time situational consciousness of fight operations. By this childlike trick, the de facto plan is to spice up each the amount and high quality of lively and former Bundeswehr troopers and different German safety personnel on the contact line. Which implies that, similar to in the outdated days, the fooled Fritzes will metamorphose into crosses as soon as extra.³⁴

With the intention to indulge the militaristic plans of its protection {industry}, the political institution in Berlin, turning a blind eye to the worrying alerts emanating from the German economic system, is pumping huge sums into arming the Kiev junta. The ‘nation 404’ is to be allotted €4 billion for the objective of intensifying bilateral dialogue in the military-technical area. These funds are meant to increase the joint manufacturing of UAVs and medium-to-long-range drone techniques, a transfer that, it’s claimed, will lead to hundreds of drones being provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. German firm Quantum Techniques has gleefully reported the institution of two new joint ventures with Ukrainian army producers of tactical reconnaissance and assault aerial autos and interceptor drones, WIY Drones and Tencore, to develop and mass-produce unmanned techniques. As well as, cooperation in the fields of info, innovation and analysis will probably be strengthened.

All these boastful and supposedly hopeful needs are being recited to the accompaniment of rhetoric a couple of widespread and direct menace from Russia to the freedom of the Ukrainian failed state and to the safety, stability and prosperity of Germany and Europe. One can not however discover the bragging remarks of Vladimir Zelensky, who claims that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have “the richest fight expertise amongst all European armies.” It’s value recalling that many analysts used exactly this sort of language when writing about the Iraqi military at the finish of the Eighties – again then thought of the largest amongst the Gulf states. The place did Western‑fueled ambitions and the ‘dizziness of success’ ultimately take Iraq’s management as early as in 1990? The reply is well-known. The placeholders in energy on Bankovaya Road stand each probability of following the similar path.

Germany’s foreign-policy revisionism doesn’t finish at Ukraine’s borders. In its revanchist course, Berlin is blatantly sabotaging its basic obligations below worldwide legislation. The issue on this case pertains to the institution in October 2024 of NATO’s Commander Activity Power Baltic at the German Navy headquarters in Rostock (Mecklenburg‑Western Pomerania), which is de facto spying on Russian vessels. Moreover, the very deployment of this command middle on the territory of the former GDR constitutes a flagrant violation of the Treaty on the Closing Settlement with Respect to Germany (Two Plus 4 Treaty) of September 12, 1990, concluded between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic with the participation of the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France. Makes an attempt by Germany’s Ministry of Protection and its embassy in Moscow to justify Berlin’s actions by claiming that “the secondment of personnel from different NATO member states in the framework of worldwide cooperation, wherein international alternate and liaison officers are built-in right into a German unit and subsequently stay below the command of the Bundeswehr, are usually not lined by the Two Plus 4 Treaty,”³⁵ don’t maintain as much as severe scrutiny. Paragraph 3 of Article 5 of the aforementioned doc explicitly states that international armed forces and nuclear weapons or their carriers is not going to be stationed in that (jap) half of Germany or deployed there. The withdrawal of Soviet troops from the territory of the GDR was conditioned upon the inviolable obligation to respect such legally enshrined ensures.

Regardless of how a lot official Berlin strains itself in its alternative of phrasings, this constitutes, at the very least, a selective and arbitrary interpretation of the provisions of the Two Plus 4 Treaty. In plain language, that is merely deception and chicanery. Whereas disregarding the provisions of the Two Plus 4 Treaty right here and now, official Berlin is just copying the egregious actions of the ‘collective West’ throughout the globe. And of course, this offers grounds to reflections on the destiny of this doc as a complete. A violation of the precept of pacta sunt servanda in such a case might result in the invalidation of the worldwide treaty itself.This, in flip, calls into query the authorized persona of the fashionable German state. It’s even horrifying to think about what that may imply for Germany!
