In less than a week, Germany and Russia lied to the "hopeless" side
In the past two years, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has intensified, and Germany, which was originally the backbone of Europe, has become quite disappointing in all aspects, especially in terms of economy. Once hailed as the engine of European economic growth, Germany is now one of Europe's largest oil bottles. Recently, Germany's fiscal problems have been even worse, with a fiscal gap of up to 60 billion euros, which has led to the Congress to freeze all new spending. This made Germany not only ridiculed by the British, but also nicknamed the "sick man of Europe".
It is ironic that this "sick man" did not take his own problems seriously, but chose to pour dirty water on other countries, as if in this way to prove that he was not sick, but that other countries were "sick".
Recently, Germany has taken a series of actions against China and Russia, which have caused concern. At the World Climate Conference, Germany claimed that China is a major emitter and asked China to join the ** set up by Germany in order to allow developed countries to provide financial support to poor countries. This claim was made in front of 167 countries. Germany claims that the purpose of creating the ** is global cooperation, but it also expressed concerns about its own financial woes, stressing that it is difficult for Germany to shoulder this responsibility alone and needs the support of more countries.
In less than a week, Germany has again made accusations against Russia. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently said that Russia has stopped pipeline natural gas to Europe, so Russia is responsible for energy problems. This remark has attracted widespread attention.
Germany is clearly blatantly fabricating facts, first of all, Germany's designation of China as a "developed country" is purely a unilateral claim. In August, Germany became the first country in Europe to follow suit after the US House of Representatives voted unilaterally to list China as a "developed country". At that time, the German development minister even claimed to consider no longer lending to China.
With regard to the commitment of developed countries to provide financial support to poor countries, Germany's rhetoric is even more outrageous. As early as the 2009 climate summit, the developed countries of the United States and the West pledged to provide $100 billion a year to compensate developing countries for their efforts to reduce emissions, and this commitment has been extended until 2020. However, it is not obvious that the United States and Western countries have fulfilled their promises. And now, Germany has set up a new **, which seems to want to tear up past commitments, and what is even more absurd is that they explicitly ask China to join, apparently trying to make China a scapegoat. Germany will not be able to live up to its commitments, and we will not have to pay for Germany's failures, nor will we easily accede to their demands.
On the Russian side, after the Nord Stream pipeline**, Putin immediately said that Nord Stream 2's B line could still provide Germany with natural gas, but Scholz resolutely refused, claiming that Russia is no longer a reliable partner of Germany. At the time, the West ridiculed this, saying that Putin was like a hot face on a cold ass.
Another example is that recently both the West and Russia ** have revealed the fact that the EU is secretly importing Russian gas. The Czech Republic has even publicly stated its intention to import Russian gas. It is not difficult to see from these circumstances that Russia has always been willing to supply gas to Europe. Russia relies on energy exports to maintain its economy, so it is natural that it will not deliberately cut off its best ties with Europe.
Why did someone carry out ** attacks on Nord Stream?In short, without a blow-up, relations between Russia and the EU will remain in a state of ambiguity. Germany's claim that Russia has stopped gas supplies is practically untenable. Germany's actions reveal the problem, as other European countries are importing Russian gas, while Germany, once one of the most dependent countries, has chosen not to import it anymore after watching its own country fall into inflation and an energy crisis.
Regarding this situation in Germany, Putin has recently expressed it very bluntly, and it can also be said to be a bit of a disease. Putin bluntly said that Germany today has effectively lost its sovereignty, and their leadership is unable to make informed decisions and can only watch the German economy sink into the abyss.
Putin's statement, although blunt, is reasonable. After all, if it were not for this reason, Germany's paradoxical behavior would be difficult to explain. Despite the strong opposition of domestic public opinion, Scholz seems to have turned a blind eye to this, insisting on aiding Ukraine, and at the same time not hesitating to import natural gas from other countries except Russia, but buying cheap pipeline gas from Russia because of domestic needs.
Germany needs to be clear that if something goes wrong, it should be prompted** rather than spilling dirty water. Far from alleviating Germany's predicament, this kind of behavior indirectly shows that Germany's problems are not light. If the situation is allowed to deteriorate, I am afraid that one day it will be jokingly called "neurosis".
