Judging Freedom Ray McGovern : Does Europe Fear War?
Germany's Role as Russia's Main Enemy and the Danger of Renewed War
Ray McGovern reveals that, according to respected Russian polling, Germany has become the main enemy ("Glavny Vrag") of Russia, surpassing even the United States by a significant margin. Despite this, many ordinary Germans remain unaware and sleepwalk through the situation, influenced by a pro-military leadership pushing for rearmament based on a questionable Russian threat.
McGovern highlights that the increasing German military buildup, including plans to deploy ballistic missiles aimed at Moscow, is a dangerous escalation reminiscent of past catastrophic conflicts. He stresses that agreement to U.S. demands to host offensive weapons in Germany risks fostering real conflict, contradicting the slow public realization there is no genuine current Russian enemy.
The key takeaway: Germany risks repeating history by becoming an adversary to Russia, driven in part by its political leadership and military-industrial complex, while ordinary Germans lack full awareness of these escalating dangers.
Germany Seen as Russia's Main Enemy
- Germans do not fully grasp that in Russian public opinion, Germany is now seen as the main enemy, surpassing even the U.S.
- German leadership appears proud while the public is confused and ineffective in challenging this narrative.
Germans Sleepwalk Regarding Russian Threat
- Most Germans believe the official line and are generally unaware of the lack of a real Russian threat.
- The military buildup and fear are driven by interests unrelated to actual security needs.
