Interview with Lithuania'S former head of state Landbsergis: "Germany falls for socialism for the third time".
Very recommended read, even if the bot translator stumbles a bit. Try to get the meaning of the whole when grammar and sentence sound coarse. The man talks plain and straight and calls things by their names.
And to Germany's shame I must admit he is 100% right.
Not my shame -
Germany's shame. I do not count myself as part of it anymore, I feel way too alien from the contemporary Germans now. The stamp on my ID card is just a formality. It has no meaning to me that goes beyond bureaucratic bean counting.
Quote:
The Germans are very similar to the Russians in their way of thinking and in their mentality. They fit very well with the Russian empire that Putin wants to build. Michail Jurjew quite openly describes this in his book "The Third Empire". It is true that a close alliance of Russia and Germany is inevitable, which is very advantageous for both countries, as Bismarck understood. That's why it will come. The Anglo-Saxon World could prevent that twice, but the third time they will not succeed. As America weakens, Europe will lose its sovereignty. The only question is whether it will be influenced by Russia, a Russian-German state or the Islamic world. Who knows. In any case, it is clear that belief in the EU as an independent force that plays a role in world politics is a joke, albeit a widespread one. Russia is working towards precisely this disintegration of Europe.
(...)
In Germany a strict distinction is made between socialism and National Socialism. This is the biggest deception that one now always pretends that there is a difference between totalitarianism, between national and international socialism. But that does not exist. Only the paint is different. The dissidents in the Soviet Union called the Communists red fascists. And they were right. The dictatorships are all the same in their nature, they are all fascist, they rely on violence and rely on a philosophy to justify this violence. In fact, they are social Darwinist. No matter if red, brown or black.
