Pepe Escobar:

GERMANY

WHAT IS REALLY GOIN' ON

From one of my top sources in Berlin, ultra well-informed:

"Calling for new elections that will bring BlackRock man Merz into the Chancellery looks to me like a British Hail Mary plot to drag Germany deeper into the Russia war.

See also the last minute attempts of Rothschildhausen (Britain/France) to get ‘Biden’ to agree to using Scalp missiles in the Russian interior.

The objective of bringing Merz prematurely into power is also to terminally destroy all bridges between Germany and Russia. He is a thorough ideologue, internationally inexperienced and corrupt, so the right man for that job.

Scholz, a truly mediocre lackey, at least stopped the Taurus missile direct involvement in the war and kept indirect dialogues via third parties with Russia open. If he would stay in ‘power’ until the end of 2025 this would reduce Britain’s escalatory options against Russia.

My friends and colleagues here are divided, since the traffic light coalition has done so much additional economic damage to Germany.

BTW I disagree with the widespread interpretation that Merkel arranged Minsk just to buy time for arming Ukraine. Read what she exactly says. She blames the West for this result.

And it is the Russians who waited too long after the coup in 2014, just as the Chinese are now waiting too long over Taiwan.

Both do this for the same reason – trying to rescue trade relations that should since long have been re-routed, for political reasons and because the same exporters finance them through credit that will be repudiated by the West."

Interesting Walk and Talk with Alex on "Think BRICS
Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 27th May 2026 ar 14:00 EDT, 19:00 London time

We are at a tipping point in Global Affairs, with the continued standoff between the US and Iran, and with the Russians now resolved to begin a major air offensive against Kiev, on a scale we have not seen before.

For the record, in my view the air offensive against Kiev is intended as preparations for a major ground offensive against Kiev, for which the Russians have now begun long term preparations. The Ukrainians for their part have apparently now started building fortifications around Kiev (and btw Odessa) which speaks for itself.

Meanwhile, a reality the West rigidly refuses to acknowledge, the Russian Offensive in Zaporozhzye region is gaining momentum, whilst the battle of Konstantinovka - a battle the West chooses to ignore - is approaching its end, with Reuters slipping out an admission that Konstantinovka's fall would open the way for the fall of Donbass.

So an unstable stalemate in the Gulf, and a dynamic and increasingly dangerous situation in Ukraine.

Meanwhile in the ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
