 Germany’s bridges to Russia split open Europe

Russia holds the key to German sovereignty A more sovereign Germany closer to Russia and China may be the straw that breaks the US hegemon’s back By PEPE ESCOBAR FEBRUARY 17, 2021

The reason is that the pipeline will consolidate Berlin at the core of the EU’s energy policy. And that will be a major factor in the EU’s overall foreign policy – with Germany, at least in theory, exercising more autonomy in relation to the US.

Now imagine a hegemonic Germany in Europe forging closer trade and investment ties with not only Russia but also China (and that’s the other “secret” inbuilt in the EU-China trade-investment deal).

A more sovereign Germany closer to Russia and China may be the straw that breaks the hegemon’s back.
