As the United Kingdom and Ukraine push Germany to prepare for war against Russia, we are witnessing the collapse of a reunified Germany. The country is deeply divided into two distinct peoples. Its identity is now in question. The dissolution of the Federal Republic of Germany is now inevitable. Meanwhile, the peace agreement between Washington and Moscow will lead to the annexation of parts of Ukraine and Transnistria by Russia. And the European Union's abandonment of its values will bring about its demise.
Even if we are unaware of it, the defeat of the Zelensky administration in Ukraine is likely to trigger the collapse of Moldova, Germany, and the European Union. This is the working hypothesis of Russia, China, and the United States. However, we are completely unprepared for this, and our political leaders and media have not, for the moment, even considered the possibility.
The disintegration of the two Germanies
We failed to understand that German reunification, desired by Presidents Helmut Kohl and François Mitterrand, was carried out in violation of international law: the people of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) were never consulted. We accepted it because we felt it was logical and because, within 14 months, the communist propaganda officer of the GDR's Young Communist League, Angela Merkel, became the Christian Democratic Minister for Youth in West Germany [1].
But this politician's personal trajectory is in no way representative of her people. We only perceive the perspective of the West (62 million inhabitants at the time of reunification) and not that of the East (16 million inhabitants at the same time).
Eastern industry was plundered for the benefit of the West. Unemployment there has reached 7.5% today, while it is only 5.7% in the West. The average gross salary is €3,973 in the East and €4,810 in the West. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita averages €37,711 in the five eastern states, compared to €54,162 for those in the West.
In the last parliamentary elections, the two countries clashed: East Germans, shaped by the Soviet occupation, voted overwhelmingly for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), while West Germans, shaped by the US occupation and the Nazis they had recycled, voted for the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats. In reality, there is not one Germany, but two [2].
Today, reunified Germany is governed by its larger constituent part, the West, which attempts to suppress the political expression of its eastern constituent part. On May 2, 2025, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was labeled a "far-right extremist" organization, a designation confirmed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. This party is merely a reaction to the proposed European confederation, a project rooted in the Neuordnung Europas (New European Order), conceived by Walter Hallstein for Chancellor Adolf Hitler before he became the first Secretary-General of the ECSC (later the EEC and the European Union). Similarly, the Munich-based Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which served to retrain former Gestapo officers in the 1950s, oversees the repression of journalists and thinkers who might challenge German assumptions [3].
While we are aware of the horrors perpetrated by the State Security (Stasi) in East Germany, we are often unaware of those that occurred in West Germany against communists and gays. Yet this was a grim reality.
The current reunified Germany is under the sway of a small group of Nazi offspring who collaborated with the Anglo-Saxon occupiers after the war. Chancellor Friedrich Merz himself is the grandson of a Nazi dignitary whose anti-Slavic prejudices he has adopted. He has no qualms about working with Ukrainian "integral nationalists," who claim descent from the Varangian Vikings and certainly not Slavs. While Germanic tradition refused to collaborate with the Russians (hence the schism of 1054 separating the Holy Roman Empire from Constantinople, a century after Ukraine and Russia converted to Christianity), only the Nazis aimed to exterminate all Slavs and seize their lands (the Lebensraum, or living space of Germany). In any case, reunified Germany has not raised the slightest objection to the Nazification of Ukraine, from its independence in 1991 through the Euromaidan coup of 2014. It goes to great lengths to ignore the hundreds of monuments erected in Ukraine in memory of the Nazis and their collaborators. It ignores the Zelensky administration's plan to build a Pantheon of Ukrainian Glories and, unlike the Yad Vashem Memorial, has refused to comment on the national reburial of the criminal against humanity Andriy Melnyk on May 25, 2026 [4].
The breakup of Moldova and Transnistria
During the collapse of the Soviet Union, Transnistria declared its independence on September 2, 1990. It is a small valley along the Dnieper River, boasting a remarkable microclimate, which the Soviets had transformed into a scientific hub. Almost a year later, on August 27, 1991, Moldova also declared its independence. However, these two states had previously formed a single region, the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. On February 28, 1992, the United States admitted eight independent Soviet republics to the United Nations, including Moldova. But not Transnistria. In the eyes of the UN, it is simply a part of Moldova. Immediately afterward, the CIA attempted to subdue Transnistria in a war that has largely been forgotten [5].
Since then, Moldova and Transnistria have developed separately. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Transnistria remains a Soviet republic, having fulfilled Mikhail Gorbachev's dream of reconciling communism and democracy. However, it is not without its flaws and has not managed to resolve the problem of organized crime, as Russia has done under Vladimir Putin.
Transnistria, which has hosted a Russian arsenal since its independence and a Russian peacekeeping force since the 1992 war, receives free Russian gas because it controls the intersection of several Russian gas pipelines to Eastern, Central and Western Europe [6].
From 2019 onward, the US military-industrial complex has been working to weaken Russia by drawing it into conflicts in Ukraine and Transnistria [7]. In 2005, Angela Merkel, then Chancellor of Germany, appointed Ursula von der Leyen as an advisor. The two women pushed for the creation of the European Union Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM). This European body would besiege Transnistria by surrounding its borders with Moldova and Ukraine, even though neither of these two states is a member of the European Union.
The agreement reached between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Anchorage on August 15, 2025, stipulates that Donbas and Novorossiya are Russian. This means that Odessa will not be liberated by force, but annexed by a peace treaty. Odessa is contiguous with Transnistria. Two weeks ago, President Putin granted Russian citizenship to all Transnistrian citizens who applied for it [8]. Transnistria will therefore become Russian after the war in Ukraine, which would cause Moldova to collapse. Its population has already expressed its support for this twice.
The unity of the European Union seems beyond question to us. Yet the United Kingdom joined in 1973 and withdrew in 2020. In 2005, voters in France and the Netherlands rejected the referendums on the European Constitution. They were ignored, and the EU deviated from its "democratic values." In 2013, the European Troika (that is, at the time, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom) imposed the outright confiscation of bank deposits exceeding €100,000 on Cypriots, further distancing the European Union from its "democratic and liberal values." In 2024, the European Commission secretly intervened in the Romanian presidential election, definitively abandoning its "values." Today, EU member states, with the exception of Slovenia and Hungary, are questioning the unanimous functioning of the European Council.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom, no longer part of the EU, is forming a new military alliance, the "Northern Marines." This new force is composed of the Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Icelandic, Lithuanian, Latvian, Dutch, Norwegian, and Swedish armed forces. It is expected to soon also include the German, Polish, and Turkish armed forces; and perhaps even the French, but the back-and-forth between London and Paris planned for 2025 is no longer feasible. It appears that the Northern Marines are intended to replace NATO once the United States leaves the Atlantic Alliance in mid-2027, according to President Trump's team.
However, this alliance is not compatible with the existence of the EU, which is a consequence of the secret clauses of the Marshall Plan (1948).
We observe that German rearmament is financed by both the European Union and the United Kingdom. The latter had, in the 1930s, financed German rearmament against the Soviets. It was only after the Munich Agreement (September 29-30, 1938) that the USSR, convinced it was the next target of the Third Reich, concluded the German-Soviet agreement (August 23, 1939), and Berlin turned against London.
