The European crisis is deepening. Writer and political scientist Igor Panarin believes the best way to rescue Europe and secure its unity is by forging a Russo-German alliance.
Just as many experts predicted, the European financial crisis has spread beyond Europe. Hopes that its two key powers could pull the region out of its nosedive faded on news of a looming credit rating downgrade for France. That leaves Germany the sole remaining leader nation of a united Europe.
It would seem that European integration should have been of use for Europe in avoiding a financial crisis. Having embarked on the path of integration in the 1950s, Europe until recently seemed to be just a step away from evolving into something more than a community of nations. As a major indicator of that trend, most European countries adopted a single European currency, the euro, which was originally based on the German Deutsche Mark. However, despite initial success in forging a common European economy, 2011 has ushered in a second wave of the global financial crisis, and demonstrated how fragile European unity really is.
It is now apparent that, should the euro collapse, Germany is bound to wind up the biggest loser. It is therefore more practical for Berlin to bail out its partners than to try to distance oneself from the ailing community. Rescuing the euro and securing European integration is, in fact, a matter of self- preservation for Germany, as a collapse of the single currency and common market would be fraught with disastrous consequences for the German economy.
But if Germany is to rescue the whole of Europe, it will surely need a strong and reliable companion. France can hardly be counted upon, as its own economy is currently in trouble and seems barely capable of escaping its own demise, despite serious effort. Therefore, the only effective way of rescuing Europe from the crisis is for Germany is to team up with Russia. Russia and Germany, two great European nations, should propose a joint action plan for addressing Europe?s critical economic situation.
This notion might seem somewhat eccentric at first glance. But considering that every other attempt at fending off Europe?s financial crisis has proved unsuccessful, it has definite merits. A Russo-German alliance would serve as a major asset for getting the entire international community through the global economic downturn.
The Germans and Russians have a time-honored record of cooperation which could be successfully resurrected today. All the more so since the past year?s economic developments have provided a perfect setting for reintroducing a Russo-German alliance as a potential rescuer for Europe.
Interesting, John. Thanks for posting.
Thank you James for you kind comment. I’ll tell you, I am just shocked at how fast this has all transpired. I’ve watched this situation for a long time now, and all of a sudden IT’S JUST HERE! Here they are; Russia stepping forward into this great end time role that so many of us have watched for now for years. I believe that Russia has been secretly talking to them for years about this. Now they are finally caving in a bit due to the present economic unrest, as they see the U.S. as “unstable,” and not in a position to really pull them out, I don’t think. The U.S. can’t even pull ITSELF out of the mess it has gotten into. So I think they are looking in a “new direction,” with who appear to them to be “forward thinking people” with a new vision and plan. The old order is out! A few years back, when Bush Jr. was President of the U.S, he shocked the entire country by dropping a huge contract that Boeing Aircraft had already made to build the U.S. Air Force a new fleet of badly needed tankers. (In flight fueling planes) He found some stupid little clause or promise they had supposedly broken with a senator involved and tried to make it look like a huge crime. Then he shocked the entire nation by giving the “tanker deal” to AIRBUS! That contract would put German and French workers, as well as MANY people that subcontract work out to them throughout Europe, to work and bolster their failing economies. I think what Bush was trying to do was to “woo and win” Germany and France, and keep them on America’s side with this huge business deal, just to keep them from making deals with the Russians back then. People in America were INCENSED! The gigantic Airbus was too big to fit into any of the hangers here, and they would have to completely build new hangers for them. They are about as acrobatic in flight as an ALBATROSS, and these planes have to be able to be very agile and to move and change course quickly in flight. Anyway, I could see plainly that Bush was just trying to do anything he could to keep Germany and France on our side! Well it didn’t work, of course, and Boeing fought in court to get the tanker deal back. But I could see THEN that this was what Bush was up to with this ridiculous deal that would have put hundreds of thousands of skilled workers out of work here in America. But now to see the Russians step forward so BOLDLY; not only in this economic arena, to “save the day” for Western Europe, but to openly challenge America at every turn… on the oceans with their new high tech ships… in the world court of opinion, not being afraid to bad-mouth America and humiliate it… well, it just sure looks to me like WE ARE AT THE DOORS! This next year should prove to be VERY INTERESTING INDEED for those of us who have waited so long for the fulfillment of certain Bible prophecies! Anyway, good talking to you, and thanks once again for the kind comment. -john
I just posted this on the 25th under the article below that says, “IMF Says Europe Needs External Assistance: Russia To The Rescue.” Since it also fits very much with this article too, I thought I’d post it here too… -john

I have been ?shouting this from the rooftops? since 1998, when I received revelations from the Lord after studying Ezekiel 38 & 39. LOOK FOR RUSSIA TO STEP FORWARD AND OFFER TO FORM AN ?ALLIANCE? (even if only economic at first) WITH EUROPE, AND FINALLY TO FORM A ?GREATER FEDERATION.? It will be the fulfillment of Daniel chapter 7, of the coming together of the TEN HORNS of the former Roman Empire, and the soon after RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST to rule over them. Many people think that this final 10 horns are the United Nations, because the U.N. has divided the world up into 10 sections, and some countries like the U.S. have now also divided up into 10 regional sections to conform to some kind of future world-wide organizational plan they have. I used to work at the U.S. Post Office, and in the back room of every major U.S. post office they have a map with the 50 states divided up into 10 sections, with several states in each one. (Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are section 10, for example?) Well, I think that the U.N. wants to do this to the WHOLE WORLD. So when Russia forms that federation with a predominately Western Europe, I believe for the sake of falling in line with U.N. goals, that they will divide up greater Europe into 10 sections also, just like the United States and other countries have done. I believe they will do the same thing the U.S. has done by putting a couple or several countries together into one section with 5 on the Western side and 5 on the Eastern side. This will fulfill the vision of DANIEL CHAPTER TWO, of the TWO legs, TWO feet, and FINAL 5 TOES ON EACH FOOT; both West and East! I then believe that a GREAT RUSSIAN LEADER will step forward AFTERWORD to LEAD this GROUP OF 10 NATIONS! Ezekiel 38:17 says, ?Art thou HE of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?? The Lord is referring here to the ?CHIEF PRINCE OF ROSH, (the Hebrew name for the Russians according to Josephus ? ?Antiquities of the Jews?) MESHECH AND TUBAL!? ?All peoples that joined together to form the greater Russian nation and many of it?s surrounding nations today of the same heritage. SO WHO ELSE COULD THIS BE TALKING ABOUT BUT THE ANTICHRIST? Has Russia ever came down and attacked Israel before in history yet, and had her armies fall on the hillsides and be eaten by the vultures and birds of prey? NO! So look for a continued ?making of overtures and offering of deals? from Russia with Western Europe until they finally cave in and start accepting some of them. ?Here, you can have all the oil you need at a cheaper price than the Western oil companies and OPEC are offering you.? ?Why do you risk the continued terrorism and bombings in your cities from the Muslim Radicals?? ?Go along with us on this deal.? ?We have much more to offer.? ?We live right next door to each other.? ?We can form a strategic partnership and work together.? ?We are a Democracy now like America.? ?The dollar is failing and about to collapse.? ?Trust us; we are not ?ogres? looking to gain world domination.? ?Work with us and make a new world currency.? ?Help us create a NEW WORLD SUPER-STATE.? ?Together, we can become the greatest superpower in world history.? ?Oh, Germany, France, and England object?? ?Hmmn!?? ?You know, those ?Western leaning? leaders can be easily replaced by our great new leader with more ?Eastern leaning? leaders.? (by election or force? THEY MUST CHOOSE!) (The THREE nations that object to this new GREATER FEDERATION can be easily overthrown! ?especially if America continues to go into decline and the dollar HYPER-INFLATES! (which is the direction it is presently heading, with no other way to go!) So there you have it! I?ve been shouting this with a bull-horn now for over a decade on the internet in my writings. As the great prophet William Branham said many times in his teachings: ?WATCH RUSSIA!? ?WATCH RUSSIA!? ?WATCH RUSSIA!? Well I been ?watching? them, and what I see SCARES me! They are stepping forward now to openly challenge America economically and militarily. Putin has recently called America ?the parasite on the economies of the world, draining the life-blood out of them.? ?He has opposed every action America has made militarily against nations Russia supports, like Iran and Syria. He has boasted openly on many occasions that they now possess weaponry superior to America in every area. And as I said in the beginning here, he and others in power in Russia, are DAILY making overtures to Western Europe to join with them in the creation of a NEW WORLD CURRENCY! I really believe we?ll see that ?GREATER FEDERATION? form soon right before our eyes! Keep watching! -john
