Our company just had a visitor from Germany who echoes much of what you say.
Although Russia and Putin was not discussed in the visit, it did seem that "Austerity" is viewed differently in countries who have much access to Freedoms that others do not have. And countries like Germany who provide Free Education compared to USA where students have never ending debt suffer. Plus our Credit Card Use and Home Ownership which in Germany is not as common.
But, what if the "PTB/Bankers" want to go after Germany to put them on equal footing with America's new "Privatization for Profit" of everything under the IMF and TPIP Negotiations which Obama still is pushing? WHAT IF....Germany's "Freedoms" could be subject to New Rules that make them more on par with what USA is doing and the IMF and this is just a step with the "Trade Agreements" to move Germany and Eurozone to the GLOBAL STANDARDS....that are agreed on to move Economic Reform Forward. Bloomberg Business "Insiders" who work with the US/Global Think Tanks are saying that Germany's Benefits for their Workers needs REFORM. IOWD's ...
Germany is top liberal to its workers (in the Global Think Tanks Minds) and therefore: "Extending the Work Week Hours, Cutting Benefits and Reforming the Education System like the USA has is what needs to be done for the Global Economy to Survive. Bloomberg Business has the Major US Think Tanks on...working to Reform the Global System for Parity with China and Emerging Markets where the Workers ...work for less and the Profiteers Gain More.
That's what is worrisome to me and others. But, maybe you feel Germany is immune from this kind of thing? An assault on the best of their reforms and the rest of the Eurozone falling in line with Cameron's view of how the world works and our own USA Interests?
