The British Empire has always had as a goal the destruction of Germany and Russia, for the simple reason London feared their potential to become great powers. In the late 1800s both Germany and Russia were moving to adopt the American model of transcontinental railroads and industrialization. The Germans were particularly industrious. That is why London set up the alliances that would pit European nations against one another. All it took to set off the conflagration known now as WW1 was a single assassin with a pistol. After the war, the victorious allies saddled Germany with unpayable war reparations, plus confiscated the Rhineland, the industrial belt, which of course, led to the destruction of the German economy via hyperinflation. Then the British bankers funded a guy named Adolph Hitler to destroy Europe and Russia. When their monster got out of hand Germany was destroyed again and partitioned as East and West Germany. America helped West Germany to rebuild. Then came the reunification of East and West, with the conditions imposed through the Maastricht treaty to hamper German industriousness. To no avail. Germany quickly became the industrial powerhouse of Europe again, fueled by cheap Russian energy. Then London hatched a scheme aimed at destroying energy itself under the guise of saving the world from carbon dioxide. Still, more was needed than making a slow transition to windmills and solar panels. The Empire picked the weakest nation of Europe on Russia's border to provoke war with Russia as a pretext to implement sanctions to cut off cheap Russian energy sources. Blowing up the Nordstream pipeline helped too. Although the sanctions have had no detrimental effect on the Russian economy Germany is facing total collapse. And that has been the intent all along. Next target to take down: the Big Dawg - USA.
