I honestly do not get German foreign policy since… well, unification. For a whole lot of her history, Germany was an underdog in western Europe, constantly manipulated by more powerful neighbors like France. Then political unification happens, and what does the German government do? Try to integrate into the same “western community” that has continually shown itself to have no good will toward Germany; or, failing that, devote all their efforts toward become the bigger, badder imperialist on the block. It’s like that bullied kid on the playground who tries hard to make friends with his bullies, and then occasionally snaps and becomes a mass shooter.
Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems like economic integration with Russia would have solved so many of Germany’s problems a long time ago.
Something something, Germany down, brits in, Russia out.
Post-war west germany was set up a vassal and has a reliable 5th column in control of most media, all big politcal parties and the government most of the time.
The origins of state means greatly. Current Germany was basically remnant nazi state reformed in shape by and for USA elites. And you know nazis, not only they modeled a lot of their ideology straight up on USA, but then the USA went on them all like abusive husband, and it’s the relation since then. In other words, current Germany was created as colony of USA and it never stopped being one.
This. As far as I know the people in Germany who want to “stand up for themselves” rn are neo Nazis. The libs are just American henchmen by this point, don’t expect anything of them.

Which is why it was prevented from ever happening
