The Whirlwind: Germany Surrounds Iran

[PoliticalChic]

Consider the following facts in evidence, and then note how the Philadelphia Trumpet connects these dots:




1. Algeria. Germany recently crafted a deal that sends $10.5 billion worth of military hardware to that country.

2. Berlin has connections even within Egypt and has sold it hundreds of millions of dollars in armaments, including two attack submarines worth $700 million.

3. To the southwest, Germany has a handful of soldiers and police officers in Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.




4. Much closer to Iran, directly across the Persian Gulf, lie the Arabian Peninsula nations. Germany has sold $2.6 billion in weapons to Qatar, including dozens of Leopard II tanks. It has sold $9.3 billion in weapons to the United Arab Emirates and built a munitions factory there.

5. Germany is also working on some massive deals with Saudi Arabia. Among them: It is building a machine-gun factory there, and sending the Saudis 72 Eurofighters and somewhere between 270 and 800 Leopard ii tanks.

6. There are also German military personnel in Djibouti and Somalia.

7. In the Arabian Sea, the Bundeswehr has a frigate, maritime surveillance planes and 340 troops.

8. 4,400 German soldiers staying in its eastern neighbor, Afghanistan,...

9. Just north of Afghanistan is Uzbekistan. There, the German military operates an air base in Termez, with about 300 military staff plus transport aircraft.




10. To the northwest, in the Mediterranean, lies Cyprus, a strategic military and intelligence asset. The terms that Germany dictated for Cyprus’s economic bailout in mid-April basically gave the EU control of this island.

11. The Bundeswehr has deployed two anti-aircraft missile batteries in Turkey, along with 400 soldiers. In addition, it has developed the nation into a massive weapons export market, selling Turkey 715 tanks, 687 armored personnel carriers, 300 air defense missile systems, 197 ground survey radar units, eight frigates, two support ships and 15 submarines in the last two decades.

12. The German military has two patrol boats off Lebanon and up to 300 soldiers on the ground.

13. .... the largest contingent in Kosovo—1,249 soldiers—and a small presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.





This is the conclusion of the editorial staff at the Trumpet: "Why is Germany so involved, stretching over the Middle East and much of the world? It is preparing for a whirlwind of destruction.."

So....business as usual.....

....or Germany on the march?

That's a false conclusion.

1. Bundeswehr is deployed abroad as part of multi-national "policing" missions.
No self-initiated adventures.

2. Bundeswehr is in no shape to surround anyone.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I follow the Philadephia Trumpet newsletters. They are spot on concerning Germany. Which is why I am warning my buddies in Israel not to ever trust Germany to be involved in ANY of their negotiations! Keep the Germans OUT of Israeli afffairs!

Germany cannot be trusted.

'Policing' sometimes involves confronting riots....as in Turkey.

Sometimes wars.


Keep your eyes open.

In which "wars" is Germany involved?

After the decision to attack Lybia, Germany removed 2 Frigates (NATO patrolling mission in Med) and a crew operating NATO-AWACS in the Mediteranean as a protest.
Germany did not participate in any aggression in Lybia, it also made sure, that none of its assets could be used under NATO command.

Your internet Reverand from the theTrumpet.com has no clue if you aks me. "Germany surrounding Iran"-Armegeddon can only come out of the brain of some fucktard.

I always like to hear how mighty we are.

Waging war with two anti-aircraft batteries and about 5000 soldiers...
I already see the Iranians shivering with fear.

As Iranian I would rather be afraid of some 10 000 US troops in Afghanistan, Kuweit, Saudi Arabia etc. And some Carrier Groups in the Gulf.

That Mrs Merkel is arming Saudi Arabia with hyper-modern Leopard II Mark 6, is agreed, but as far as I can see, this is along the interests of the US (and Krauss Maffei, who is building these).

But serious:

Historically Germany never had any interest in the Middle East. The intermezzo in WWII was rather unintended and unwilling.
So, in most Arab countries the Germans have a rather good standing. Also, as Chancellor Schröder refused to join the invasion of Iraq, lots of Arabs respected that position.

That Germany on the other hand is massively supporting Israel and is still keeping a low profile in the whole conflict, is the other part.

(And as a German you sometimes get a clap on the shoulder for killing Jews in WWII. This is the disgusting part of it.)

But no, in general, Germany neither has the military capacity nor the political will to raise a whirlwind in the Middle East.

"Historically Germany never had any interest in the Middle East."

You couldn't be more wrong.

Perhaps this is history that they don't care to teach in Germany:


1. The name Iran means ‘Aryan,’ and was chosen to support a massive Nazi-dominated infrastructure which was ready to provide oil to the Nazis. By the early 1930s, Reza Pahlavi's close ties with Nazi Germany began worrying the Allied states.[8] Germany's modern state and economy highly impressed the Shah, and there were hundreds of Germans involved in every aspect of the state, from setting up factories to building roads, railroads and bridges.[9] Germany?Iran relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

a. Advocating the common Aryan ancestry of 'the two Nations.' In 1936 then, the Reich Cabinet issued a special decree exempting Iranians from the restrictions of the Nuremberg Racial Laws on the grounds that they were 'pure blooded Aryans' (Lenczowski. 1944, p. 160). And in 1939, the Nazis provided Persians with what they called a German Scientific Library. The library contained over 7.500 books carefully selected "to convince lranian readers...of the kinship between the National Socialist Reich and the "Aryan culture" of Iran" (Lenczowski. 1944, p. 161). In various pro-Nazi publications, lectures, speeches, and ceremonies, parallels were drawn between the Shah of Iran and Hitler, and praise the charisma and virtue of the Fuhrerprinzip (Rezun. 1982, p. 29).
NAZI Germany and Persia (IRAN)


b. “Germany was our age-old and natural ally, Love of Germany was synonymous with love for Iran. The sound of German officers' footsteps was heard on the shores of the Nile. Swastika flags were flying from the outskirts of Moscow to the peaks of the Caucasus Mts. Iranian patriots eagerly awaited the arrival of their old allies. My friend and I would spin tales about the grandeur of the superior race. We considered Germany the chosen representative of this race in Europe and Iran its representative in Asia. The right to life and role was ours. Others had no choice but submission and slavery. We discarded the old maps and remade Iran into a country larger than what it was in Achaemenian times.”

-Reza Shah




The Third Reich and the King of Persia rename Persia to Iran.

During the 1930's members of the Iranian Nazi Party.Hitler's interest in the Aryan homeland would have him and the Shah of Iran change the name to Persia at this time to Iran which in Persian translates to Land of the Aryans.The following image is of the Iranian National Socialist Party.
Ibid.



2. And, even earlier:

The promise of a Jewish homeland was memorialized in the Balfour Declaration, but supported by a wide variety of backers.
From David Lloyd Georges’ “Memoirs,” p. 724-726:
“The Germans were, therefore, engaged actively in courting favour with that [Zionist] Movement… urged, early in 1916, the advantages of promising Jewish restoration to Palestine under an arrangement to be made between Zionists and Turkey, backed by a German guarantee.”


3. Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became the newly appointed Chancellor of Germany, Arabs throughout the Mideast petitioned to join the Nazi party.

a. Mein Kampf was rated 4th on the best-seller list among Palestinians in a survey conducted and reported in PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida. Source: Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (Fatah), Sept. 2, 1999

b. Books such as Mein Kampf,The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and The International Jew are high on Turkish bestseller lists, and are displayed prominently in the front of bookstores

c. There are even Palestinians whose first name is “Hitler”: Hitler Salah [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (Fatah), Sept. 28, 2005], Hitler Abu-Alrab [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (Fatah), Jan. 27, 2005], Hitler Mahmud Abu-Libda [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (Fatah), Dec.18, 2000.]


4. There were thousands of Muslims who directly joined and aided the Nazi war efforts, forming at least three Waffen SS Divions. “These SS Jihadists assisted the Ustashi Croats in their slaughter of 800,000 Serbs and Jews.” Prophet of Doom - Islamic Clubs - Handschar Muslim Waffen SS Divisions

a. In Yugoslavia, Muslims and the Catholic Church formed the Ustashe, the most brutal of all Nazi forces: the German Croatian fuehrer, Dr. Ante Pavelic had a basket of 40 pounds of eyes on his desk. The guards in prison camp had a contest to see who could slit more throats in one night: the winner slit 1,350. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem organized these squads.
