Watching the Duran this morning and Alexander Mercouris was musing on this point too.

He didn't predict it, but he was concerned that with no cheap energy, there could be a rapid and catastrophic economic collapse in Germany. No energy = no big manufacturing (BMW, Audi, VW, BASF, Siemens, Bosch) if they become unviable economically overnight, then all the small manufacturers that supply the big industries disappear overnight too. German economy implodes. Since the UK Brexited, most of the subsidy of the EU economy comes from Germany - no German cash = no EU freebies for the member states. No freebies = what's the point of being in the EU?
I put it a bit more dramatically than the measured Alexander, but we're talking collapse of the EU if Germany has to de-industrialise. Remember why Germany really lost WW2 - no oil! What problem does Germany have now? NO OIL!
no EU freebies for the member states. No freebies = what's the point of being in the EU?
The point of being in the EU is to provide yet another demonstration for the world of the unsustainable nature of "Real socialism." EU = eUSSR = USSR 2.0

The 4th reich meeting the same fate as the 3rd. Poetic.
Fourth Reich? No, more like Comintern, Part Two. East Germany seems to have won the Cold War in Europe.
...compelling observation, nicely stated and framed....
HISTORY Tends to repeat itself over time and you have described the situation most succinctly!!!
