A secret Defense Ministry paper leaked to Spiegel magazine has shed light on Berlin's main concerns about the breakup of the European community, a scenario apparently feared in most Western capitals. Entitled 'Strategic Perspective 2040' (Strategische Vorausschau 2040), the 102-page policy paper imagines six scenarios that strategists in Berlin deem plausible.
They range from an East-West conflict in which some EU states side with Russia, to a "multipolar Europe," where some states adopt a Russian political or economic model in defiance of EU agreements.
Comment: Either way, Russia looms large. Not bad for a country they said - till very recently - is an irrelevant 19th century throwback. So, have they only recently re-thought old beliefs? Nope. They were lying about Russia then, just as they're lying about Russia now. Russia has some unusual power, latent for the most part, and which they can at least sense, if not understand. And they are terrified of it...
One such scenario, titled 'The EU in Disintegration and Germany in Reactive Position,' sees a world suffering from "decades of instability." It also describes the departure of other states from the EU as well as Britain, and an end to the bloc's expansion, stating: "The EU enlargement has largely been abandoned, [while] more states have left the European community that lost its global competitiveness."
Comment: Perhaps the 'imagined' scenario is already happening: It's not just Brexit: Greece, Spain, and France are also on the brink ?
On the other hand, keep in mind that this 'intel' could be coming from the parasitical Western Deep State structure within Germany - Germany's 'Ergenekon' or 'fifth column' - which would like to prevent such a scenario by spooking Merkel and her people with it, thereby 'springing them into action against Evil Russia now, before it's too late!)...'
Never underestimate the cunning of the Dark Side.
"An increasingly disordered, sometimes chaotic and conflict-prone world has dramatically changed the security environment of Germany and Europe," the military strategists write. Another scenario, dubbed 'West against East,' envisages the demise of European integration due to the transition by some EU countries to an "Eastern bloc," an apparent allusion to the group of Moscow-allied states during Soviet times.
Comment: Nice try, mindless ones. Try 'Western bloc satellites of the US Evil Empire' - that's a better fit with reality.

A scenario called 'Multipolar competition' predicts extremism on the rise in Europe as some EU members appear to move closer to Russia's "state capitalism model." All scenarios, drawn by the German military's Planning Department, are viewed as conceivable by 2040.
Comment: Russia's economic and governing model is rather simple: rout out corruption, take strategic - though not necessarily business - control of the nation's resources and see to it that they are primarily used for the benefit of the people; maintain morality, traditions and social cohesion; and on the world stage work in multipolar partnership - not competition - with other countries, like China, on a mutually beneficial basis.
Is it any wonder Western countries suffering under the ossified regime would turn east?

Europe's integrity has been pushed to its limits since 2016, when the UK opted to leave the EU during a nationwide referendum. Britain, one of Europe's financial hubs, is set to depart the bloc in 2019. The simmering Brexit talks are currently focused on the cost of the departure as well as the status of UK citizens living elsewhere in the EU and vice versa. Far-right parties in France, the Netherlands and Austria have in the past called for 'Frexit,' 'Nexit' and 'Oexit' votes respectively.
Germany, the EU's economic powerhouse, has a long tradition of in-depth strategic planning for every eventuality in the continent. It all began with the decorated Prussian field marshal Helmuth von Moltke in the 1850s, and was applied in at least three major conflicts, namely in 1871 during the war against France, as well as during World War I and World War II.
Comment: It didn't work out too well for them in the past then.
