AfD Co-Leader Demands Ukraine Pay Reparations To Germany<\/span><\/p>\n

Europeans and especially Germans have borne enormous costs to perpetuate the Ukrainian Conflict while receiving absolutely nothing of tangible benefit in return.<\/strong><\/p>\n

AfD<\/a>\u00a0co-leader Alice Weidel responded to Chancellor Friedrich Merz\u2019s proposal to grant Ukraine associate membership in the EU, which was analyzed\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>, by\u00a0declaring<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cWe need to know how this state-terrorist act against the most important infrastructure we had, namely the Nord Stream pipelines, came about and what role Ukraine played in it. The flow of payments should actually be moving in the opposite direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then added that, \u201cUkraine must pay reparations to the Federal Republic of Germany, because we have suffered enormous damage \u2013 and so has Europe as a whole \u2013 from the loss of cheap Russian fossil fuels.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Weidel made a solid point about the economic damage that the\u00a0Ukrainian Conflict<\/a>\u00a0has caused to Europe, even independently of the\u00a0Nord Stream terrorist attack<\/a>, which she implied was committed by Ukraine like Berlin suggested but which the famous Seymer Hersh cited sources to\u00a0blame on the US<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To elaborate a bit more on the background of Berlin\u2019s innuendo, it sought the extradition from Poland last year of a Ukrainian suspect but was rebuffed by the judge for the reasons explained\u00a0here<\/a>, which lent credence in a lot of the public\u2019s mind to the claim of Ukrainian culpability. Nevertheless, that narrative was already counteracted\u00a0here<\/a>,\u00a0here<\/a>, and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0over the years long before the extradition request was made and rejected, but Weidel, many Germans, and a lot of folks across the West in fact still believe it.<\/p>\n

In any case, having clarified the context of her implied accusation against Ukraine and circling back to her reparations demand, the EU spent\u00a0hundreds of billions of dollars<\/a>\u00a0on aid for Ukraine and its refugees. When calculating the higher cost of fuel since then, including that which it still purchases from Russia, the total credibly approaches $1 trillion and might even surpass it by some estimates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most that the EU might receive in exchange is\u00a0arms<\/a>\u00a0and reconstruction contracts for only a handful of companies.<\/p>\n

That nowhere near justifies the enormous costs that the EU has paid to perpetuate the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine, which highlights the ideological motives behind this policy. The liberal-globalists that rule the bloc are hellbent on inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia through NATO-backed Ukraine, to which end no cost is too high to pay, especially since it\u2019s average Europeans and not them that are paying it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This cynical policy is already backfiring in Germany by turbocharging the AfD\u2019s rise.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now the most popular party in the country by far <\/strong>and its appeal continues to grow since it\u2019s one of the few forces apart from the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance that\u2019s speaking truth to power about this conflict and its crushing economic consequences for Europeans. Germany in particular has been hit exceptionally hard with growth crawling to a halt and many suspecting that the bloc\u2019s largest economy is actually already in a recession that might soon be confirmed and then spread throughout the EU.<\/p>\n

Weidel knows very well that Ukraine will never pay reparations to Germany and that even the hypothetical cession of its key industries to her country wouldn\u2019t come anywhere near compensating the costs that Germans have already paid. Her rhetoric was thus meant to draw attention to these same costs. The more that Germans dwell upon them and realize that their country received nothing of tangible benefit in return, the more likely they are to support the AfD in a bid to bring about real change.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
