| | ::::You think Merkel wants better relations with Russia? Then it is you who have been deceived by the Globalists. Merkel's number one goal is to ensure German domination of the European continent through the European Union. She is even going as far as calling for all EU member states to surrender control of their militaries so they can merge into a European Army under German command. Should this actually happen, it would probably mean war between Germany and Russia, and it would '''definitely''' mean war between Germany and the United States. Russia will not tolerate what would amount to a pseudo-annexation of much of the continent by its ancient enemy, and the United States will not tolerate what would amount to a hostile nation using globalist treachery to cut out a large amount of its sphere of influence. Do I believe Germany deserves to be confronted for this behavior? Yes. Do I believe it deserves to be punished for its behavior? Yes, even if Merkel is ousted and replaced with AFD. But how far should this punishment go, is the question. I don't want to punish Germany in a manner severe enough to recreate the conditions that made Hitler's rise to power possible. I don't want a Versailles redux. But there are plenty of people out there who want to go that far. Check out some of the comments on Breitbart articles that discuss Germany. I suspect that once the EU collapses, there will be a serious movement to impose a Versailles redux on Germany, probably spearheaded by Poland. And then what? Should we side with Germany and demand Poland leave it alone? If we do that, many Eastern European nationalists will turn against us, and accuse us of selling out to the Globalists. They will never trust us again, and will become hostile to the United States. Or should we allow Poland to go at it and lead an effort to isolate Germany and tear it to shreds economically, which to be honest is something Germany may well deserve by then? If we do that, many Western European nationalists will turn against us. They will accuse us of having betrayed them because we essentially allowed the most powerful country in Western Europe to be turned into a scapegoat for the harms inflicted on the West by globalism. They will never trust us again, and will become hostile to the United States. And Germany specifically may begin to say, "you know what? Hitler was onto something after all." --[[User:James Kardys|James Kardys]] ([[User talk:James Kardys|talk]]) 14:12, 21 April 2018 (EDT) | | ::::You think Merkel wants better relations with Russia?

As the deep state coup plotters executed Michael Flynn and scuttled Trump's proposed ''detente'', the German Foreign Ministry issued statements it wasn't goosestepping to Washington anylonger, and was definitely opposed to the [[Democrat]]s neo-[[Cold War]]mongering.
