Opus on opaque Ostpolitik...


Not looking good. John [The Slog] in outstanding form on 'Germany and the Russian Debt Bomb'. THIS is Part 2

The 'appetiser': "you probably failed to notice this, but Russia paid its due debt installment in full last Friday. You probably didn’t see that, because the MSM blanked it." [sic]

The entrée: "In a nutshell, driving Russia into default risks a nuclear chain reaction that is impossible to predict….and anyone telling you otherwise (eg the Pentagon) is lying." 

The conclusion: "...there is one depressing certainty in 21st century life: our economic system, US democracy, EU fiscal stability, media investigation, bureaucratic rules, banking credibility, corporate governance, NATO information, health science, civil policing, military intelligence and financial sectors are all irreparably compromised by greed, mendacity and unachievable globalist megalomania." 

I am presuming too that you have all noticed that China, India (and very early on Pakistan, "so much excitement") and now the Emirates are all overtly not-quite-cosying-up to Russia but certainly not turning them away and making gains while the EU and the UK are failing and going backwards at every level, even propaganda. 

And off topic but really very much on topic, you know what hasn't gone away:
"The choice is ours. We can either go back to sleep and follow the shiny baubles of the latest breaking news on the MSM news feeds or we can continue to focus on the creation of the biosecurity state..."

politics of Germany
Germany is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic. When it comes to political and civil liberties, Germany comes first. The citizens of Germany experience absolute freedom. The majority of countries where citizens enjoy wide civil liberties and political liberties are representative democracies, where officials are directly elected by the citizens to advocate for their needs and wants. Free countries are often empowered by healthy economies and well-functioning governments. Prime Minister is Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

According to the World Bank Group, Germany's Government Effectiveness Index is 1.73. This shows that the government of Germany is very effective. Citizens enjoy highly effective social, public and public services and general morale in Germany is high. State action is efficient and swift, which means that dangerous situations are very unlikely. In Germany, legislation lies with a Bundesrat/Bundestag. The Global Peace Index (GPI) for Germany is 1.379. The legal protection index for Germany is 6. Overall, it is considered to be rather appropriate - insolvency and security law can at least protect the rights of borrowers and lenders adequately; Credit reports are usually sufficient and generally available. Germany is a member of the United Nations (UN). It became a full member of the UN on September 18, 1973. Germany is a member of the European Union (EU). On September 18, 1973, it joined the EU as a full member. Germany is a member of the World Bank.
