*AfD push for “National Identity” (Originally posted to* ***Flickr*** *by Metropolico.org)*

The German news source, Deutsche Welle is concerned that Russia is pleased with the results of Sunday’s election in eastern Germany:

In Russia media, commentators and pundits welcome the far-right gains in Germany’s regional elections. They see it as supporting its interests in Ukraine …
4 September 2024
The party’s win in Thuringia and its second place in Saxony have led to celebrations on Russian state television. …
results for the far right and far left in Thuringia and Saxony as also being somewhat a win for Moscow.
The massive gains of the AfD and the good results of the populist leftist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) have been one of the most discussed topics in the Russian state media over the past days.
TV reports framed the story as if the results were almost entirely due to Germany’s Russia policies. The parties that make the governing coalition on the national level, all saw heavy losses in the two regional elections. According to one reporter, this is because of Berlin arming Kyiv, and because of the consequences of sanctions, the rejection of Russian energy, and the muted response to the Nord Stream pipelines explosions.
Populist historian Nikolai Starikov explained in a talk show why Russia should be satisfied with the election results in eastern Germany. “Wagenknecht is basically proposing the same foreign policy as the AfD — peace on our terms on Ukrainian territory,” he said. …
Both the AfD and BSW are indeed among the fiercest advocates in the EU for a cease-fire in Ukraine and the lifting of sanctions against Russia. …
Far right ‘a Western propaganda cliche?’
Thuringian AfD leader Björn Höcke isn’t hiding his pro-Russian stance. That’s how one Russian correspondent in Germany commented on Höcke’s decision to visit a polling station in Thuringia in his vintage Lada, a Russian car.
For the correspondent, Höcke is not a far-right politician but instead, a “euroskeptic” and “ultrapatriot.” https://www.dw.com/en/why-russian-propaganda-celebrates-the-far-right-win-in-germany/a-70124057
Sahra Wagenknecht and her newly founded party, Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) (Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance) are staunch critics of any military engagement. Their election manifesto states that war foments fear and leads to instability.
As for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, they blame the United States and NATO: “A military alliance whose leading power has invaded five countries in violation of international law in recent years and killed more than 1 million people in those wars.” The BSW wants to integrate Russia into a European security architecture.
The BSW is a populist party that blends left-leaning economic policies with conservative migration and pro-Russian foreign policy initiatives.
One of the party’s main topics is harsh criticism of the military aid provided by Europe and the US for Ukraine. …
The demand for rapprochement with Putin’s Russia is particularly successful in the eastern German states that made up the former nation of East Germany. …

Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is also focusing heavily on the Ukraine war in its election campaign in the eastern states. It is also calling for an end to German military aid for Ukraine. When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to the German Bundestag in June 2024 for more support for his country, a large number of AfD lawmakers left the building — as did members of the BSW. …

AfD politician Björn Höcke goes particularly far in his desire for rapprochement with Vladimir Putin‘s Russia. Höcke is considered one of the most radical German politicians.
In the January 2023 edition of the AfD’s Maximilian Krah video debates “Dresdner Gespräche” (Dresden conversations), Höcke offered a favorable view of Russia under Putin: “Today, Russia — whether the mainstream media want to hear it or not — is a country which not only provokes negative associations but is also a country that hopes it could possibly be a pioneer for a world of free and sovereign states without hegemonic influence.” …
A large-scale study conducted by the University of Leipzig in 2023 showed that many people in eastern Germany are longing for authoritarian leadership. 09/01/24 https://www.dw.com/en/russias-best-friends-in-germany-afd-and-bsw/a-70072663

Yes, many in Germany are looking for a strong leader–and one will rise up when Europe reorganizes as prophesied in Revelation 17:12-13 (Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?; see also ZH: German Elites Call For “Firewall” To Prevent Conservative Governance After AfD Election Win).

But, notice also, that many in Germany want to make a deal with Russia.

As far as German and Russian cooperation goes, back in 1962, notice something that the old Radio Church of God published:

United within the ancient boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire; united by the common spiritual bond of universal Catholicism; united in a burgeoning and booming industrial economy that dominates today’s world; united geographically in the most productive and industrial complex of all the earth — at least TEN NATIONS OF MODERN EUROPE WILL MARCH ONTO THE SCENE OF WORLD HISTORY AS THE GREATEST SINGLE HUMAN FORCE EVER SEEN BY MAN! This United Europe will form a nonaggression pact or political alignment of some sort with the Soviet East. …
Modern Europe is counseling and making treaties and alliances and agreements to conquer this earth! … Germany, those living in Germany, even the German government, may not yet know that they are going to join in a treaty with the Russians to destroy the United States and bring it to its knees-it is not in his “heart” to think so, but on the other hand it IS in his “heart” to destroy-the very characteristic of the Assyrian, the modern German, is a harsh, cruel, iron, dedication to militarism and destruction! …
MAN’S ONLY HOPE LIES IN TURNING TO HIS CREATOR GOD!
“At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom. to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, TURN FROM THEIR EVIL, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them… Behold, I frame evil against YOU, and devise a device against YOU: return ye now EVERY ONE from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good!” (Jer. 18:7, 8, 11).
The case of America and Great Britain is hopeless! (Hill DJ,What is Germany’s Destiny? Plain Truth, March 1962, pp. 28-29)
The German people are now asking themselves: “Can we rely on the Americans and British?” … These questions lead to the logical conclusion that maybe the only people the Germans can rely on themselves. They are now thinking: “Perhaps we can strike a better bargain with the Russians ourselves.” …
Once a German-dominated Europe is fully established, Germany will be ready to negotiate and bargain with Russia- and behind the backs of the Western Allies if necessary. …
When will a Russo-German deal be made? Here is a quotation from a circular letter issued in September, 1950 by the Nazi Geo-political Center in Madrid:
“However long we may continue to milk the Americans of millions of dollars, there must come the inevitable moment when we shall have to make it crystal clear to them that we are not willing to join the fight against Russia for American interests … (Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T H. Terens, p. 15). …
Most Americans and Britons are not aware of what Germany and Europe are planning against them. This is partly due to the cunning of German. politics. …
World events are moving swiftly toward the climax when Great Britain and the United. States will be attacked, conquered and DESTROYED! (Boraker R. Are the Germans Secretly Dealing with Moscow? Plain Truth, May 1962, pp. 45-47)

Yes, I, too, expect that Russia will make a deal with the Europeans. Some have been hinted at that this century (see Greece begs Germany’s Merkel not to throw them ‘overboard,’ while it makes deals with Russia; see also Vladimir Putin allegedly helped stop a Grexit).

Furthermore, in the not too distant future (maybe within the next 4-10 years) I expect that Russia will make a deal with the Europeans.

This will be a deal that will coincide with the end to the Anglo-American world order.

Because of biblical prophecies (e.g. Daniel 11:39), Russian desires (e.g. see ‘Our Alaska’: Russia’s new talking point sparks U.S. alarm), and geopolitical realities (like Russia’s concerns about its assets being seized, etc.), the end of the Anglo-American order will probably include Russia regaining at least parts of Alaska and some territory Canada currently rules.

While many in Germany are not in favor of sending funds to support Ukraine’s military efforts against Russia, the basic mood in Europe, however, has been to look to increase military spending and reduce dependence on the USA.

Notice a report about a meeting that is happening:

September 4, 2024
The European Parliament is set to hold closed-door, high-level discussions on Wednesday in relation to a new report on the competitiveness of the EU defense industry, Politico has reported.
The document, prepared by former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi, reportedly calls on the bloc to rethink its defense policy in light of the Ukraine conflict and the purported threat from Russia.
Draghi prepared the 400-page report at the request of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who said last week that the EU needs a “systemic overhaul” of its defense spending to increase production and reduce its dependence on the US.
“The EU’s defense industrial base is facing structural challenges in terms of capacity, know-how and technological edge. As a result, the EU is not keeping pace with its global competitors,” a draft of the document reads …
The report also cites “the emergence of new types of hybrid threats” and “a possible shift of geographic focus” by the US as reasons for the EU to take “growing responsibility” for its own security. …
The EU spends roughly one-third of what the US does on defense in monetary terms, and the bloc’s arms companies depend 80% on international suppliers, largely from across the Atlantic, Draghi wrote.
International think tank, the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), noted last month that the conflict in Ukraine had revealed “the sorry state of European militaries and defense industries.”
Among the recommendations are the introduction of steps to incentivize domestic defense solutions over competitors, and a removal of red tape for weapons manufacturers to access EU funding. https://www.rt.com/news/603506-eu-defense-competitiveness-report/

Yes, Europe is concerned that the US has been having a shift in “geographic focus” (also known as the “Asian pivot”).

Yes, Europe wants a stronger military.

Yes, Europe wants to spend more on its military.

And yes, Europe wants to spend the funds in Europe to develop a stronger military, as well as it assist its economy.

Despite concerns some in Europe have about Russia, many in Europe want to cooperate with Russia and the recent elections in Germany supports that view.
