Very few people have been informed about the collapsing German economy. The German economy is sinking into a very deep recession. The politicians have tried to hide this from the public. Recent revisions by the Federal Statistical Office paint a dramatically different picture.
Recently the Federal Statistical Office released new data showing that instead of shrinking by 0.2% in 2023 as initially reported, Germany’s GDP actually contracted by 0.9%. 2024 was no better with a projected contraction of 0.5% instead of the previously assumed stagnation.
Why bring this up?
Any intellectually honest observer of the political scene knows that the Ukraine war represents the largest international money laundering scheme since COVID-19. It shifts wealth from the taxpayers to the politically connected institutions. Those who benefit from this will do whatever they can to sabotage the talks between Trump and Putin in Alaska.
So, what has just happened in Europe? German Chancellor Friedrich Merz quickly organized a meeting between EU leaders and the U.K. The purpose? To figure out how the keep the war going. Money is the motive to continue the war.
One of the tactics at play is here is for the EU to put forward conditions for a ceasefire that Putin will not accept. For example, no peace talks without a ceasefire first. Russia will see this as a respite during which Ukraine gets re-armed. That means more dead Russian soldiers in the long run. This is a non-starter for Putin.
The media will portray whatever conditions are put forward as being eminently reasonable and that Russia is just evil if they do not agree to such terms.
As the industrial capital of the EU, Germany has a lot at stake given the nature of their contracting economy. The EU military industrial complex is centered around the nation Merz represents. There are trillions at stake. Look for the EU and particularly Germany to be resistant to any plan put forward.
Germays’ biggest arms manufacturers’ shares are collapsing due to the spectre of Peace in Ukraine.
Now you know why Mertz and VonDer Liar want this war to continue.
And why they will do anything to keep it burning. pic.twitter.com/kbAgvuxxrt

There is no way that Ukraine can win this war. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets. More territory is being conquered while Ukraine’s casualties go beyond the one million mark. How many more graveyards will Ukraine have to create before they recognize this?
I do not expect any sudden change in this after Friday’s meeting. However, PDJT has shown an uncanny knack for solving complex problems. Hopefully Friday can be the beginning of such a solution.
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.
