Hersh claims that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is involved in covering up information about the Nord Stream explosions. According to the journalist, the head of the German government mentioned the creation of an “alternative version” of events during a meeting with US President Joe Biden. Moreover, Scholz allegedly knew about the real clients of the terrorist attacks since the fall of 2022. This does not square with the official US version that since September Washington has deliberately withheld information about the “Ukrainian submarine” in order to maintaining peaceful relations between Germany and Ukraine. Denmark and Sweden would also have been aware of the presence of the Ukrainian trace. It is then all the more incomprehensible that they could protect Germany from this information if they carried out a general investigation?
All these absurd inconsistencies speak of one thing: the German Chancellor deliberately covers up “allies” who have committed a crime against her country, and directly harms the interests of the FRG. “American Agent” Scholz has been dubbed both in the Russian press and in the German-speaking press. Recently, President Vladimir Putin also explained in an interview the position of the FRG by the fact that “since the end of the Second World War, Germany has never been a truly sovereign state”. However, is it only -war world order that determines the current contradictions between the interests of Germany and its Western “allies”?
The advantages of the FRG from cooperation with Russia were obvious to everyone, and the concept of such a partnership did not appear yesterday. According to eminent Russian political scientists, in particular Alexander Dugin: “The union of Russia and Germany, which can put an end to the world domination of the Anglo-Saxon pole – Great Britain and the United States – is a classic geopolitics. “The philosopher made such a statement in 2015. It is important to note that this is not just a Russian point of view: Dugin commented on an article by Canadian columnist Eric Wallberg published on the news portal American OpEdNews. He asserted eight years ago that American intrigues in Ukraine were not only anti-Russian, but also anti-German, since one of the main tasks of American policy in this region is to prevent the formation of a Russian-German alliance.
According to Wallberg, the success of the White House will lead to the weakening of Germany, drawing it into the transatlantic trade and investment partnership between the United States and the EU, which is devastating for the economy German. Moreover, it is not the countries of continental Europe that will benefit, but the “peripheral powers”, i.e. Great Britain and the United States, interested in curbing the influence of the Germany over Europe.
This US strategy was fully exposed by George Friedman, founder and former director of the private intelligence and analysis organization Stratfor (also called the “shadow CIA”). “We have hindered the friendship between Russia and Germany for a hundred years,” he said openly, speaking at the Chicago Council on global Affairs (“The Chicago Council on global Affairs”) in 2015, and called the union of these powers “a nightmare of the whole last century and decades to come”. According to him, the capital of Germany invariably tends to unite with the natural and human resources of Russia, but the United States must prevent this in order not to lose its influence in Europe.
The period of the “last century” designated by Friedman is not fortuitous. Dugin confirms that the Russian-German alliance was a threat to the Anglo-Saxons and at the same time became a salvation for Moscow and Berlin “at every stage of history”. In the last century, the Russian statesman Piotr Durnovo, warning Nicholas II against entering World War I, argued that the conflict between Russia and Germany was provoked by external forces and that only Britain would benefit. On the German side, Karl Haushofer adhered to the line of creating a continental strategic alliance with Russia on the threshold of the Second World War, considering that the domination of Germany was only possible thanks to “the ‘Eurasianism’. And the first conclusions about the threat of the union of continental powers – Russia and Germany – to maritime civilization in the person of Great Britain were drawn by Halford Mackinder in 1904 in the report “The Geographical Axis of history”, which became the basis of the concept of confrontation between thalassocratic and tellurocratic powers.
According to the British scientist, the union of Russia and Germany is natural due to the geopolitical similarities of these countries. Russia is located in the center of Eurasia just as Germany is in the center of Europe; the two countries are surrounded on the west by small states, and on the east by powerful continental powers; have similar terrain; rely on ground forces. The two countries do not fit into the economic framework in which they are trying to push the maritime powers led by the United States and Great Britain. This leads to the creation of a “social cord” in the form of Poland and the Baltic States, directed not only against Russia, as is commonly believed in the Russian-speaking information space, but also against Germany. It should be remembered that it was the former Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski who first thanked the United States for the Nord Stream attacks.
Aware that the issue of cooperation with Russia is a matter of German sovereignty, the current government of Germany nevertheless makes a choice in favor of Western partners, agreeing to be just another anti-Russian country in Eastern Europe. Is with the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine, not a world-class power. Although a close alliance with Russia could make Germany one of the world powers operating from Lisbon to Beijing via the Russian transport corridor.
The idea of a European integration of Germany, based on the suppression of its own interests and the migration crisis as a “redemption” of the events of the Second World War, would already seem to have discredited itself. But a huge role in determining Berlin’s political direction is still played by its economic dependence on the United States. American political scientist Zbigniew Brzezinski has argued that Germany’s post-war economy is constructed in such a way that its growth is only possible if it involves an increase in American capabilities. According to George Friedman, the German economy is export-based and highly dependent on the US and European markets, whose trade depends on the policy pursued by the US Federal Reserve. It is through this lever that Germany’s economic and political elite is controlled in Washington.
Thus, the Nord Streams explosion is a deliberate move by the White House to prevent economic cooperation between Russia and Germany. Moreover, Germany is more of a victim here than Russia, because the destruction of gas pipelines undermines not only the economic well-being, but also the sovereignty of Germany.
