SDC Party share ideological similarities with Lenin. And CDC share ideological similarities with the Orthodox Church of Russia.
Also, no country likes being occupied whilst being handcuffed militarily and, the occupation of Germany should’ve ended time ago. Germans are very prideful and arrogant - they’re the premier Germanic group. And Poland has taken a lot of German land whilst Germans have been forcefully kept docile. In the grand scheme of things, this is actually worse than what happened to them after WW1. They have been humbled and humiliated.
Why do you think Putin has been able to thrive in Russia? The way the west humiliated Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union - is the primary reason why Putin has been able to thrive with his schtick primarily on Russian nationalism and pointing the middle finger at the west. Germany would most likely do the same once they get a leader that can galvanise them around German nationalism.
Europeans and Asians are different from black people. They don’t forget their past - they just persevere and wait for the right time to act. And all they need is a galvanising force. Even in Ukraine right now - I’m sure a lot of Serbs are out there fighting alongside Russians.
Japan is also the same. It will act at the right time. Let’s just watch things unfold.
I agree with you even though I'll be more nuanced. A lot of european countries don't mind being under american leadership. A large chunk of these countries elites are "americanized". Sometimes even the population. American soft power ain't no joke. Also, american networks in those countries should not be underestimated.
It's always interesting, for instance, to see how DW, the public german television for the world, is pro-US.
But it's true that a country like Germany, given its history, won't like to live under the american umbrella forever. But at the same time, you saw how Merkel kept saying that Germany's defense will remain in Nato.
It's a complex issue. We will see.
They're making it our battle. The EU and NATO are very close to it because of the borders, ports, and pipelines involved
