Germany has changed: it has destroyed Europe for a third time in a completely different manner.
The first time was with fire and steel — marching armies, burning cities, millions dead. The second time was with ideology — Nazism leaving behind ruins not only of buildings, but of souls.
And now, in our own age, Germany has found a new weapon: collective weakness. Energy suicide, industrial collapse, the dismantling of borders, the worship of irresponsibility. No tanks, no bombs, no trenches — but the effect is the same: a continent destabilized, dependent, and exposed.
What they could not achieve with Panzer divisions, they now achieve with regulations. What they could not impose with occupation, they now impose with climate dogma and economic self-sabotage. Europe once trembled at the sound of German boots; today it trembles at German mistakes.
The tragedy is that the result is identical: a broken Europe, dragged down by a mixture of arrogance and blindness. Three destructions, three methods, one culprit. Germany has changed — only the ruins remain the same.
Maybe we should have left Germany in two
