Was Ist Los???? .... Geo-Politics For Our Time

[PoliticalChic]

1. The collateral damage to America, due to Liberal ownership of the media, is ignorance of changes in the world scene.

Nor is this accidental, after all, when a failure like Barack Obama is at the controls, realization of the array of blunders by this dilettante would result in a clamor for his removal which would be hard to ignore.


2. To the point....the boy-king actually promised Russia that he would be 'more flexible' after he fooled the public into re-electing him...as though he knew how to deal with Russia....

And when the Russians got over laughing, they continued on a policy unrelated to Obama.



3. Let's go back to August 21, 1939...the two Leftwing giants, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, signed a 'non-aggression pact'....the Hitler-Stalin, or the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

That was the public announcement.

a. Privately, the two had long been allies, .... Stalin helped supply the German war effort, providing the Nazi regime with oil, wood, copper, manganese ore, rubber, grain, and other resources under a trade agreement between the two nations.

b. Just a week after this pact was signed,Germany invaded Poland, .... September 1, 1939, Hitler attacked Poland....on September 17, Stalin attacks from the East. The Soviet radio transmitter in Minsk guided the Nazi bombers attacking Polish cities. Newsreel footage showed the Red Army in Nazi helmets, marching side by side with the SS. One photo shows the hammer and sickle along side the swastika.



4. This history is crucial to remember becauseGermany and Russia are now getting cozy again. "The last time Germany and Russia ‘united their potential,’ the result was the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which carved up Eastern Europe between the Soviet Union and the Third Reich in 1939. " Geopolitical Diary: Berlin Warms Up To Moscow




5. Seven years of Obama, and he has had negligible influence of this new alliance..." In June 2009, then German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier praised the relationship between Russia and Germany, calling Russia “an indispensable partner for Germany and the European Union” and touting “German-Russian cooperation as a model of interaction, so that both sides will benefit if our potential is united”

The September 2009Trumpet said “this forming Russian-German axis is one of the most significant and underrated trends on the world scene.” The Hitler-Stalin Pact: Is History Repeating Itself?



Where did Obama play a role...any role, outside of laughing stock, in influencing the behavior of either Germany or of Russia????




So....if one fails to comprehend geopolitics.....well, then one votes Democrat.

Germany and Russia have had many years of an alliance on development, even military matters....way before Oblama was born they were working together..

Well you know....this is like the equivalent of saying in English "what's up?" I read it and I very nearly wet myself

This is one of the funniest things I've read here

I believe that means, "What's wrong?" in German.

Germany is in the unfortunate position of having to rely on Russia for natural gas to heat its homes and generate electricity. Figuratively speaking, Russia has Germany by the balls. Thus Merkel must cozy up to Putin, like it or not.

Germany has brought on this untenable situation through well-intended but stupid policy decisions, among which were to dedicate itself to meeting "climate change" CO2 emissions reductions, abandon nuclear power, and to refuse to investigate or utilize "fracking." to exploit its own natural gas potential - which is considerable.

German electricity and home heating costs are astronomical, and promise to go even higher for the foreseeable future. And since they have completely eschewed cheap coal, there is no relief in sight.

The U.S. could partly reduce Germany's reliance on Russian natural gas if we were to go into the exportation of natural gas in a big way. We are the "Saudi Arabia" of natural gas, after all. If we ousted idiot Governors like the one we have in New York, we could supply all of Europe with natural gas for the next hundred years, charging them twice what the stuff brings in the U.S., and it would still be a great bargain for them, compared to what they are paying the Russians.

Of course if we proposed that, Putin would throw a hissy-fit, the like of which no one has seen since the demise of the Soviet Union.

I thought Reagan won the Cold War.

 

[Mr Natural]

What's with the numbered paragraphs?

That seems to be a common misconception, yes.

It depends on the context, "Was ist los?" upon context "what's up?"/"what's the matter?"/"what's wrong?"/ In general everyday useage "Was ist los?" would be "what's up?" or "what's the matter?"

We don't want American natural gas thanks, why would we want this, so Washington DC could hold us over a barrel and blackmail us?

Nothing against the American people, who are mostly a wonderful people, but I'm sorry we don't trust Washington DC anymore.

What's with the numbered paragraphs?

I think they're meant as bullet points, some are just a few sentences, which they can't be considered actual paragraphs, or can they?

The only gas that DC sells is in the form of hot air..from gasbag politicians..

Add the other inept Democrat elitist, Obama's erstwhile opponent from '09, and see the effect she had.

None.


6. Nor was Bill's wife any value-added:

"(CNN) -When it comes to Russia, the Obama administration has been talking about “pressing the reset button.” It’s meant to symbolize a possible new start in U.S./Russian relations, which “crashed” after Russia invaded Georgia last August." Clinton 'reset button' gift to Russian FM gets lost in translation


a. Recognizing the ineptitude of the Obama administration, "... Germany may well have been complicit in Russia’s plan to attack Georgia.” That statement was backed up by events that happened later. In January 2009, after Moscow shut down its supply of natural gas to Ukraine and Georgia, German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and appears to have joined him in forcing Ukraine to back down. The Germans also tacitly supported Russia when it marched into Georgia and virtually took control of the country." The Hitler-Stalin Pact: Is History Repeating Itself?


Hillary's husband had promised to support Ukraine against Russia (the Budapest Memorandum).




b. ".... Sarah Palin totallycalled that Putin would invade Ukraine (she will be on Fox News tonight to remind us), about how Mitt Romney was unfairly mocked for calling Russia the greatest "geopolitical threat" to the United States, about Hillary Clinton's "reset button" gaffe. Even the LiberalNew Republic(tm)has admitted that Mitt Romney was right about the Russians and their ambitions." Why Obama Got Russia Wrong (and Romney Got It Right)



History may not repeat itself, but Americans should educate themselves on what happened the last time Russia and Germany joined forces.


And vote accordingly.

Can we go back as far as Prussia and Russian, when they partitioned Poland?

Numbered paragraphs are normally used for step-by-step instructions as in a technical manual.

I have no idea what purpose they serve in an essay.

nah, the ocd fuelled formating is usually her own and only contribution.

With all due respect, I'm finding this all a bit confusing and somewhat muddled, also your OP.

Not unexpectedly, this thread itself is turning out to be instructive due to the responses by Liberals/Democrats.

The inability to understand reality is monumental.


What is proven- with uninterrupted regularity- is that all that matters to Liberals/Democrats is, as Coulter stated:

"Principle is nothing to liberals. Winning is everything."



For said Leftists, winning the Presidency is all that matters...not competence, nor vision, nor the ability to drive world events.

Obama is a perfect example.....a total and abject failure, but....a Democrat Liberal....case closed.




In a related prediction....I will bet that not a one of the Liberals has had a real eduction, has read works such as

"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion," by
byJames George Frazer andRobert Fraser


In it one finds an explanation if the role of the chief, the head priest, the leader....the President,... in arranging the world to be more accommodating for his/her people.


This thread is about how poorly Obama has done that: two potentially massive forces for evil are manipulating Obama, and under is rule....America.


More to be revealed.
