US and Germany allies in the shadow of the Kremlin

18/11/14

The G20 just ended in Australia has confirmed, if it were still needed, the consolidated political axis between Washington and Berlin. The dynamics of this alliance are clearly manifested in the common conflict of relations with Vladimir Putin, while remaining nebulous in their true essence.

Making a reasoning supported by evidence, on the subject of this argument is extremely difficult, however some clues can help to understand a complex and in some ways paradoxical situation.

Germany, Europe's leading manufacturing power, is absorbing a very high amount of European manufacturing excellence through prudent investment policies (predation?), At the same time in a decade it has been able to impose its economic recipes on the entire old continent, in the face of all this, however, it has a big problem, the crisis of the enlarged market in the Euro area.

The US led by Obama, on the other hand, has experienced the management of a heavy economic crisis and the progressive downsizing of American credibility in international relations, all accompanied by the pressures of internal lobbying that is always difficult to manage.

These apparently unrelated events, however, have points of contact, first and foremost the Euro-American commercial agreement being defined that is perceived by the Germans as a possible outlet for the export crisis, the institutional political crises of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, ed today even within the European Commission (scandal Juncker nda) that in the last five years are poisoning the political climate with scandals between the itchy and the financial in the best style of a certain CIA activism and last in chronological order the crisis Ukraine, for which the policy of Putin becomes, rightly or wrongly, a catalyst for all the clues leading to this strange alliance.

Strange because the Russian market offers Germany half a million jobs, because half of Europe's gas comes from Russia and above all because, colors which propose themselves as leaders of the new Ukraine are nothing but the old Soviet oligarchs harshly opposed by states United and West Germany in the cold war years.

It seems clear at this point that finance is getting the better of politics in a speculative war with no holds barred aimed at controlling the immense monetary masses circulated by the US Central Bank and the European Central Bank in the name of a recovery that does not start again because the fulcrum of the renaissance called politics is missing.
