REAL STORY OF THE LADY OF THE CAMELLIAS

Usually Russian grand dames come to the Kremlin from the street.
European politician ladies have a great experience in political
activities, they have passed a long way and formed their political
position in the result of many years of participation in parties
and groups.
Angela Merkel comes from young communists but all through her tenure
as chancellor she has been trying to withdraw Germany from under the
UK and U.S. influence (in this very order). And she has achieved a
lot in this aspect.
German interests in Eastern Europe are significant for the country's
foreign policy but apparently this dimension is also closely linked
to anti-Anglo-Saxon goals. Germany understands that it can be
easily blocked, and over the past 25 years it has been trying to act
cautiously, without enabling its opponents in the West to make claims
and accusations of lack of solidarity with NATO and the EU.
Quite recently Germany has refused participation in the military
actions in the Near East and Africa, thereby highlighting its strong
position. Hence, voluntary "self-constraint" is observed in all the
possible directions.
Thanks to the Ukrainian crisis Germany held a key place in European
politics, significantly ousting the United Kingdom. Ukraine's
metallurgic industry has been significantly damaged, which is in line
with Germany's interests whose metallurgic industry has no competitors
now, at least in Europe.
Presently, not only Turkey but also Germany has become an important
factor of crisis processes in NATO which the alliance is trying to
overcome. In fact, the interests of the United States and Germany
are technically and technologically in line. This is a convincing
international isolation of Russia and its subjection to certain
interests.
Currently, there is nothing more comprehensible in the European policy
than Germany's efforts to monopolize the "Eastern project", i.e.
Eastern Europe which must become part, a major part of the German
geo-economic empire which is transforming over time into a geopolitical
empire.
At all the historical stages cooperation with Germany helped Russia
overcome the international isolation but, one way or another, Russia
had to face hostility and war with Germany in an alliance with the
Anglo-Saxon and Roman powers.
Germany is trying to prevent extreme adversity within NATO framework
and logic, and like Turkey, avoid hostility and confrontation with
the United States, thereby protecting its role in Europe and NATO.
With Turkey's support Germany did not allow more radical decisions
at NATO Wales Summit, first of all that on the establishment of full
military bases of NATO in Eastern Europe and supply of arms to the
countries of this region. Germany announces that it does not support
supply of arms to fighting countries, which means, in the case of
Ukraine and Armenia, maintaining and strengthening their dependence
on Russia in different logical formats.
Denying supply of arms to Armenia means turning it into Russia's
vassal - such a big European country does understand this and is
responsible for such open support to Russian expansion.
In fact, disorganization of NATO regional policy is underway, and the
alliance is hit at its programs of cooperation with new partners. No
matter how the German policy is interpreted, it is the key disorganizer
of the Atlantic policy, taking France's place which gave up on this
goal a long time ago.
There is hardly any agreement between Germany and Turkey to sabotage
NATO but it has become known that one way or another two countries
have found their interests are in line at this point. There are too
many controversies between them to expect closer relations but at
this stage identity of interests of such big NATO member states does
influence the policy and position of the alliance.
The German political elite knows how to develop a policy for a decade,
and the post-war period demonstrated that the German politicians
are able to revise fundamentally not only the foreign policy but
also foreign partners. One draws interesting conclusions on how
unexpectedly the Christian Democratic Party emerged at the end of
the 40s and functioned successfully and how the Germans were able to
restore their industries and later on destroy the Berlin wall without
any dramatic events and launch a new foreign policy.
At the same time, the global security system is typically automatic.
First Germany's distance from protection of interests of Europe will,
one way or another, lead to a situation when the United States, the
United Kingdom and other countries will be able to act with greater
freedom, including in terms of providing military and technical
support to the countries of Eastern Europe.
First, a distance is a distance, and even the most influential state
may appear in political isolation.
One should take into account that Eastern Europe is not only Russia but
also other states. For example, the visits of delegations of German
political parties to Ukraine have convinced Ukrainian politicians
that in the nearest future they should deal with other great powers,
including in economy.
Last but not least, the third circumstance - France may use this
arrangement of forces in Europe and demonstrate to Germany its
"historical solitude". Germany cannot remain passive in Eastern Europe,
especially regarding defense issues.
Armenia was satisfied with the visit of the German military delegation
and achievement of several agreements in the military sphere. However,
will this bring a lot to the defense of Armenia and how will this
become a factor of weakening dependence on Russia?
There are legends which were referred to in the novels of great
European writers but there are also real stories of prototypes of
these heroes. Sometimes real stories are more romantic and mysterious
than the novels. The real story of the Lady of the Camellias needs
to be found out.
