We are presently observing a huge political scandal in Germany with terrible prophetic consequences. Suddenly, the very survival of Germany’s “established” mainstream parties is in jeopardy, while political candidates are fighting for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s replacement. Europe is waiting for a new and more decisive German leadership. But do they know what they wish for?
AKK
USA and EU on Collision Course
Germany has a new leader for Angela Merkel’s party (the CDU). Her course towards Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will be tougher. She advocates helping Ukraine militarily against Russia, and she wants to reintroduce the draft in Germany. However, most Americans and Brits show a “worrying lack of knowledge or interest” in history and what is happening now, being totally oblivious to the signs of the time. Europe is anxious to replace trade transactions in US dollars with the euro, and Washington’s patience with European “obstructionism” in high-stakes trade negotiations is wearing thin, being willing to do “whatever it takes” to protect American interests. Where will all of this end?
Comments on News and Prophecy (December 8, 2018)
We are discussing the ongoing desperate attempts by Theresa May to convince the British parliament to adopt her Brexit deal on Tuesday (December 11) as well as further meetings of the EU on Thursday, December 13. We are also addressing the surprise but slim victory of Annegret Kramp-Karrenberger (AKK) in Germany, replacing Angela Merkel as leader of the CDU, and the difficult task ahead of her to unify a deeply divided party. While many commentators feel now that Angela Merkel could remain Chancellor until 2021, this is rather doubtful. Who will succeed Merkel?
