The European Union is turning into the Soviet Union to spite Russia.

Planned economy, Socialism, state taking over industry, state dictating prices, etc.

It would be kinda funny if I didn't live there.

I hope all the east Germans can explain to their compatriots what they should look forward to.

I don't think the East Germans are going to ride to the rescue. Comrade Merkel is an East German and she's more responsible than anyone else for the mess Europe is in. They do seem more based further east though, which is surely a result of having a living memory of communism. That's getting less and less potent though. There are now 2 generations who never lived through that nightmare. I hope the older generations can inoculate the younger ones against leftist subversion but I'm not optimistic.

That's scary. I remember when my east German relatives starting contacting and visiting my family. We thought they were all dead. We were mostly right. My grandfather's family is all gone, but my grandmother's family had some stragglers.

When was this? I was stationed in Aschaffenburg, a bit SE from Frankfurt, back in the mid-70s. Fulda Gap area was our section of the East German border.

Notably, the cities were already full of turks selling hashish in the parks.

The European Union is turning into the Soviet Union to spite Russia.

I don't think it is to spite Russia. The heads of the EU have been trending in that direction for quite a while now.

Socialism on a national level?

I feel like I've heard about this before...

European energy markets are the true front in this war between the globalist cabal and the remaining nationalist superpowers. Ukraine is just a footnote. That’s also why Russia hasn’t committed the bulk of its military forces to the conflict. They are winning the economic war decisively, and that’s the only war that matters.

A popular consensus on telegram channels is that the (evil) US is sacrificing Europe to bolster the dollar, while also weakening Russia. On the other hand, the behaviors and actions of relevant parties in this SMO make little sense.

To be fair, their situation is not unlike ours. One of their top gov officials just said she doesn't care what the German people say or want, they're going to support [murdering Russian villager civilians] Ukraine no matter what.

The ministers who approved this might just get to experience the taste of polonium tea

Slightly related, I know MIGA is mostly used to mock politicians who cater to Israel too much but I kinda want a genuine MIGA for Israel that results in the Kahanist types getting into power and wiping out everyone else.
