News Breakdown | European Destabilisation Check-in

I know it's been a while since I did a news breakdown, and I apologize for that. But I'll do it I'll do a version of that now. Let's just run through some headlines. These all pertain to what I've talked about many times on the channel, which is the destabilization of Europe, the project The US project for the destabilization of Europe under the pretext of the war in Ukraine. As I have said repeatedly, in my opinion, the, the Ukrainian war, is a proxy war by The US against Europe, or more precisely by the, owners and controllers of global financialized capital against Europe, against the EU, with a particular focus on destabilizing and deindustrializing Germany.

So now and then, I think it's good to sort of check up on the status of that project and see how it's developing. The first thing, I'll I'll I'll do the headline, then a summary of the story. Germany has ordered weapons worth billions of euros from The United States. During his visit to The United States, the German minister of defense announced the signing of a large number of contracts with American arms and defense companies for the purchase of weapons and equipment amounting to approximately €23,000,000,000. Now bear in mind that this comes in the context of Germany pushing for or or or you could probably say being pushed for militarization, to militarize remilitarize Germany.

And they've been fanning the flames of a potential war against Russia. And they seem to believe that they can transition their sort of commercial industrial economy into a war industrial economy. In other words, they want to start manufacturing weapons and sort of create their own military industrial complex. Yet they can't apparently produce their own weapons. And interestingly, they said that they also can't pay.

This was back in March, I think. They said that they're not gonna be able to pay their obligations to NATO, their financial obligations to NATO. Germany was just again in March, Germany was buying back old weapons that they had previously sold to The Gulf. So they have a weapons shortage. Their industrial base is crumbling by the day.

Capital outflows are at record highs. Bankruptcies are at record highs. And supposedly, they their proposed solution is to ramp up military production, which is why they are fanning the flames of a potential NATO war with Russia. They wanna create this hype. They wanna create this panic and this frenzy about war with Russia, so to to justify military spending and so on.

But at the end of all of that, they end up just funneling money to American weapons manufacturers. So think about that. Now the next headline. Germany is considering mandatory military service for all citizens. In Diewelt newspaper, this is the sort of summary of the story.

The German defense ministry has crafted multiple conscription reform suggestions aimed at addressing the ongoing personnel deficit in the armed forces because they're running out of people to who are in the army and running out of people who want to join the army. So the minister of defense is expected to choose one of those proposals and formally unveil that proposal in early June. Quoting him, he said, we have considered reintroducing compulsory military service, exploiting all possibilities for we've exploited all possibilities for voluntary military service. In other words, we're we're trying all of those, but none of those seem to be sufficient. They're not working.

In the initial proposal, every German at the age of 18 would be required to enroll with the military and receive promotional materials and informational resources regarding serving in the German armed forces. Now at what point and how, they would actually be called into service is not clear as, again, this won't be proposed officially until, June. But so in other words, Germany doesn't have the weapons. As I said in the first story, they don't have the weapons and they don't have the military personnel for war. They don't have the manufacturing capacity to make the weapons, and they don't have the recruits for the army.

They don't have willing voluntary recruits for the army. So their solution to both of those problems? Buy weapons from America and conscript the German people. So send your money to America and send your young people to war. And that's being touted, that's being sold as a plan for Drumming's political and social and economic security and success.

Obviously, this is a recipe for self destruction. Okay. The next headline. German, members of parliament have approved the idea, of shooting down Russian missiles. Russian missile Russian missiles that are that are fired on Ukraine.

Now here's the summary of the story. Several German MPs have supported the idea of using Western antiaircraft systems from NATO countries to destroy Russian missiles over Ukraine. It's worth noting that the proposal was recently voiced by a senior research fellow at the Munich Security Conference, Nico Lang. According to him, antiaircraft systems located in Poland, which is a country I've talked about many times in the context of the Ukraine war and the destabilization project, systems in Poland and in Romania could be used to shoot down Russian missiles. And even opposition Democratic MPs agreed with Lang.

One of them is quoted in the story saying, this will relieve the burden on the Ukrainian air defense and allow it to protect and and allow it to protect the frontline. And they they are using as an example the actions of America, Britain, and France, their militaries with regards to expelling or or repelling the Iranian attack on Israel when they were shooting down the drones over Jordan. So while, Germany is warning of a potential NATO Russian war. They're actively actually promoting it. They're not warning about it.

In fact, they're promoting it by advocating NATO's direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict militarily. Very plainly, this again is because Europe is on the path to becoming a conflict zone itself, as I've talked about again many, many times. And this will just provide The US weapons sector a new market. They'll just pivot their destabilizing military and conflict economy to Europe as the productive economy and all all productive economic activity pivots to the global South. Now the next headline.

Kyiv, again, Ukraine. Kyiv consumes European transformer supply amid EU energy transition shortfall. Here's the summary of the story. Europe is currently facing shortage of transformers that are required for, modernizing their power infrastructure. This modernization is crucial, for expanding renewable energy, capacity in Europe.

But without transformers, the process cannot move forward. They're they're stuck. And the reason for this is because all available transformer, stocks, all the the stocks of transformers that they have in the EU have been redirected to Ukraine. Since 2022, Brussels has sent over 2,700 transformers to Kyiv. As a result, European companies now need to, reserve their equipment, for the coming years.

So whatever they're gonna have to suffice with whatever they have. According to the report, the lead time for fulfilling new transformer manufacturing orders has extended to two years. So it's gonna be two years before they can even get any new transformers. It's not that they don't have any, but the ones that they do have are directed towards Ukraine. Now, obviously, the the the scarcity, which isn't really the right word.

I was the the article says the scarcity of transformers, but they have them. They have transformers, but they don't have transformers available because they're all going to Ukraine. But not having these is delaying their progress towards so called climate neutrality. In Germany, for instance, the transformer shortage has pushed the commissioning of wind generated or wind energy generation by wind. Those facilities has been pushed back for also for two years.

So in other words, they're not gonna make any progress on their so called renewable energy goals for two for at least two years. They can't even get started because all of their transformers are going to Ukraine. I think this story pretty much speaks for itself. Ukraine has been used and is being used as nothing but a device for destabilizing Europe, and specifically, the the sanctions against Russia are designed to deprive Europe of affordable energy and even depriving them of a way to distribute energy. But because of the like with those transformers.

I think it also has to be mentioned here that this exposes this the the this policy specifically exposes that the climate crisis hysteria and the fanatic drive for renewable energy is nothing but propaganda. Clearly, it's not really a priority, not a real priority. You know, Germany has been hijacked by the Greens and by environmental extremists who were demanding that Germany should shun all affordable fossil fuel energy resources in favor of renewable energy, except for nuclear energy, of course. But now, even pursuing renewable energy is being undermined on the pretext of Ukraine. Well, this is nothing but an orchestrated sabotage of Germany and of Europe, and this is clear as day.

Another next headline, Joe Biden has announced new tariffs on the importation of Chinese electric vehicles, solar energy equipment, and machinery, and medical supplies. Now this is just a bit further evidence that the whole climate and renewable energy hysteria is nothing but a scam. So here's a summary of the story. US president Joe Biden is set to announce new tariffs as soon as next week targeting strategic sectors, including a major hike in levies on electric vehicles from China. The full announcement is expected on Tuesday, and it will maintain existing tariffs on many Chinese goods as set by former president Donald Trump.

So Biden, again, as I've also mentioned before, is basically maintaining Trump's policy with regards to China. But it will also include new tariffs on semiconductors and solar equipment, as well as hiking electric vehicle tariffs. China made medical supplies like syringes and personal protective equipment will also face additional tariffs. Tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles will roughly quadruple under the new Biden plan. The senate banking committee chairman said that he wants Biden the the Biden administration to ban Chinese electric vehicles outright completely.

Don't even allow them in the country. So here you have simultaneously, in my opinion, two myths that the West likes to propagate, America likes to propagate. Both of them are being exposed here. First, of course, is the myth, again, that the so called climate crisis is in fact a matter of urgent national security for The United States or for the West. Since if it were actually that important and that serious, and if it was actually according to the official narrative, you know, electric vehicles would be welcomed.

If that was true, according to the official narrative, then affordable, lower cost electric vehicles would be welcomed. But you wouldn't actually put tariffs prohibitive tariffs on electric vehicles. If China can produce them, great. At the end of the day, all we need to do is reduce our carbon footprint and so on. If if China can produce the electric vehicles inexpensively and they can become available for all American people, wonderful.

Let's do it. The the more the better. But no. They're gonna make them as unaffordable as possible. And this is a way of punishing China for what America calls their overproduction.

So clearly, you're not actually interested in people transitioning to so called renewable energy. You're not really interested in people transitioning to electric vehicles because they're they're available, and you're making them unavailable. And the the second myth that is sort of exposed as a myth by this story is this myth that the that you see American analysts, economic analysts and so on saying, which is that the Chinese economy is teetering on the brink of collapse. The simple fact is that The United States can't compete with China. Europe can't compete with China, particularly in terms of manufacturing, and even in terms of technology at this point.

China is, as America likes to say, overproductive. According to The US, they're overproductive. They have a a manufacturing surplus. So they think, America thinks that that gives China an unfair advantage in the market because it has a stronger industrial base than The United States. But that's capitalism.

So when you're winning, by the rules, but you're not the one who's supposed to be winning, they just change the rules. That's how they work. Now, the last headline. Shell, the oil company, oil and gas company, and Total Energies are thinking about are are considering moving their listing, their stock exchange listing from Europe to Wall Street, to the S and P 500. Now here's the summary of the story.

Shell and Total Energous are considering shifting their stock exchange listing to Wall Street, a decision that would impact the London and Paris markets. Shell currently holds the position of the second largest company on London's stock exchange, while Total Energies ranks as the fourth largest on the French stock exchange. Both companies have recently voiced dissatisfaction with the low valuation of their shares compared to US companies that are in the same industry. And so they are exploring the possibility of relocating their share listings overseas to The United States as reported by Bloomberg. Because US listed companies enjoy greater access to capital and greater access to investors.

And investors are more inclined to invest in European energy companies if they are part of the higher valued US S and P 500 S and P 500 index. If Total Energies and Shell do move their primary stock market listing from Europe to the S and P 500 in The United States, it could have significant implications for Europe. It could have, obviously, positive implications for The US and long term positive implications for the companies themselves. As for the impact on Europe, you can say it would be a major setback for European stock exchanges as Total and Shell are among, as I said, the largest listed entities on the Paris and London stock exchanges respectively. Doing something like that would would help to solidify the notion of a single global stock market, with everything else just sort of playing a secondary role.

It could lead to, reduced investment in European energy projects, which is something obviously that The US would like, that the, o c OCGFC would like. Energy projects, infrastructure projects, it would impact potentially the the the region's energy sector and their growth and their development as a whole. The move could also have implications for employment in the European energy sector, potentially impacting job opportunities and economic growth. So this is just another move that indicates to me that The United States, and more specifically, as I said, the owners and controllers of global financialized capital, are very much interested in de industrializing Europe, destabilizing Europe, impoverishing Europe, and subjugating Europe. The approach of America towards the global South and the West towards the global South, but specifically America.

Their approach to the Global South, whether it's Latin America, Africa, or Asia, their approach is now going to shift to where they're going to be treating Europe the way they used to treat the global South, and they're gonna treat the global South the way they used to treat Europe. And all of these news stories, in my opinion, are indicative of that are indicative of that fact, including the militarization of Europe and trying to turn Europe into a conflict zone. And we know already from if you've been following my other content, in my opinion, one of the core characteristics and drivers of the West's violence has always been the competition for material resources. So they are going to decrease Europe's access to material resources and then watch them fight each other.
