New Fiscal Fiasco In Germany: Could Political Incompetence Finally Force Peace?
It didn't take long for the ripples caused by Vladimir Selenski's bizarre appearance in the White House to reach the old continent again. In a hectic emergency meeting in London, the leaders of European politics tried to demonstrate their unity and their will to continue the Ukraine project, whatever the cost. At times, it was like watching half-strength men playing with their muscles - somewhat bizarre and ridiculous, but not unfunny if it weren't a matter of life and death.

It was just over a week ago that the Germans re-elected the Bundestag after the collapse of the government a few months ago, and it quickly became clear that a coalition of familiar forces would be needed to keep the German globalists' mortal enemy, the AFD, out of business. And so the new Chancellor of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, will forge a coalition with the Social Democrats, as quickly as possible, and continue what they had started: the joint action against Putin's Russia.
It only took a few hours for Merz to announce immense new borrowing to expand the country's defense budget to possibly up to 600 billion euros in the coming years. Money that the eurozone's largest economy does not have, after having shot itself in the head several times economically. Just think of the war against the automotive industry and the phase-out of nuclear power, as well as the sanctions packages against Russia, which have left the German economy lagging behind.
Germany’s prospective black-red coalition is staring down this self-inflicted financial abyss. Sources close to the negotiations between the Union (CDU/CSU) and SPD reveal a staggering budget shortfall—between €130 billion and €150 billion—projected through 2028. Federal Finance Minister Jörg Kukies (SPD) dropped this bombshell during Friday’s exploratory talks, according to insider accounts confirmed by multiple outlets. The figure paints a grim picture of a nation teetering on the edge of economic ruin. Friedrich Merz, who campaigned on a promise to audit the federal books, must now wish he’d never peeked under the hood. What he found was worse than anyone dared predict: a fiscal mess so severe it’s rattling the foundations of Germany’s economic reputation. The numbers don’t lie, and they’re screaming a warning—Berlin’s balance sheet is bleeding red, and the coalition’s ambitions may drown in it. This isn’t just a hiccup; it’s a structural collapse years in the making. Analysts point to unchecked spending and systemic strains, though the talks remain tight-lipped on specifics. For now, the coalition hopefuls are scrambling to plug a gap that threatens to swallow their agenda whole.
This brings us to the Punch and Judy show and the team photo of the mimetically embarrassing group meeting in London. There, the two new strong men of Europe, Emmanuel Macron and host Keir Starmer, unceremoniously relegated the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to last place, just to say: if you can't pay for anything, then you won't take part in the future big-man games!
Everyone knows that, with the possible exception of Poland, no other European state has any military power worth mentioning. They are all small shadows of their former selves, rotten economies with weak fiscal chests that have saved their shadow armies from the Cold War under the protective umbrella of the Americans, who are now withdrawing. But obviously no one in Europe has read this memo properly, otherwise how could this meaningless talk of boots on the ground in Ukraine and massive support for the country be understood? The Europeans will soon have to deal with completely different problems, migration policy, economic and security problems, and the Ukraine project will very quickly fade into the background. But to this day, no effort at diplomacy with Russia can be seen. It is a complete denial of reality among the so-called political elite of the old continent.
Let’s call it what it is: Germany’s fiscal implosion is a twisted stroke of good fortune for a continent on edge. For years, Berlin’s shot itself in the foot—wild spending sprees, an open-door rush into social welfare, and an economic self-sabotage that historians will marvel at in disbelief. This €150 billion chasm isn’t a glitch; it’s the bill coming due for a nation that’s been running on fumes. This economic seppuku might just douse the war drums thumping across Europe. With Germany’s credit rating poised to tank—hello, France’s shaky tier—the markets won’t stomach funding big kinetic wars or military gambits via the money printer. Hyperinflation would shred the euro before the first tank rolls. So, while Germany’s elites scramble to salvage their coalition, the rest of us might dodge a bullet. Economic chaos? Sure. But a quieter continent...
On a meta-level, a kind of war-weariness is taking place, which has demographic reasons and is based on the general decomposition of every form of patriotism. For decades, the radical left has successfully rooted out any form of traditional patriotic thinking from the minds and souls of the people and it will not be possible to activate them once again for a proxy war of the globalists from London and Brussels. No one in their right mind will fight for 15 minute cities, cbdc control money or forced vaccinations and total media control. The game is over!
