#Bundeswehr-Leak

[tilos-tagebuch]

🇩🇪 Nach RTDE-Meldung: Deutsche Medien in Schockstarre! Russia Today hatte gestern lang und breit über Telefonate, in dem deutsche Luftwaffengeneräle offen darüber sprechen, wie man die Krimbrücke am besten mit deutschen Taurus-Raketen angreifen kann, berichtet. Nahezu 12h brauchte unser Blätterwald, um die russischen Meldungen zu kommentieren:

Bundeswehr hält Mitschnitt des Videocalls von seinen Offizieren für echt Eine Aufzeichnung einer internen Besprechung des Luftwaffen-Inspekteurs, Generalleutnant Ingo Gerhartz, mit drei Offizieren seiner Teilstreitkraft, wo es unter anderem über einen Angriff auf die Krim-Brücke geht, kursiere auch in der Bundeswehr, schreibt die „Welt“. Mehrere Soldaten haben nach Zeitungangaben die Audiodatei „als authentisch eingestuft“.

Jetzt rotiert der MAD, wegen russischer Spionage und so! Achtet mal drauf, was da jetzt lauthals alles raus-trompetet wird! Vom eigentlichen Inhalt der Gespräche dagegen – Nix! Dabei ist der Telefon-Leak, inzwischen hundertfach übersetzt, schon rund um den Globus gerannt… Thomas Röper vom Anti-Spiegel hat das Transkript auf seinem BLOG veröffentlicht.

Much of the public discussion of Ukraine reveals a tendency to patronize that country and others that escaped Russian rule. As Toomas Ilves, a former president of Estonia, acidly observed, “When I was at university in the mid-1970s, no one referred to Germany as ‘the former Third Reich.’ And yet today, more than 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, we keep on being referred to as ‘former Soviet bloc countries.’” Tropes about Ukrainian corruption abound, not without reason—but one may also legitimately ask why so many members of Congress enter the House or Senate with modest means and leave as multimillionaires, or why the children of U.S. presidents make fortunes off foreign countries, or, for that matter, why building in New York City is so infernally expensive.

The latest, richest example of Western condescension came in a report by German military intelligence that complains that although the Ukrainians are good students in their training courses, they are not following Western doctrine and, worse, are promoting officers on the basis of combat experience rather than theoretical knowledge. Similar, if less cutting, views have leaked out of the Pentagon.

Criticism by the German military of any country’s combat performance may be taken with a grain of salt. After all, the Bundeswehr has not seen serious combat in nearly eight decades. In Afghanistan, Germany was notorious for having considerably fewer than 10 percent of its thousands of in-country troops outside the wire of its forward operating bases at any time. One might further observe that when, long ago, the German army did fight wars, it, too, tended to promote experienced and successful combat leaders, as wartime armies usually do.

American complaints about the pace of Ukraine’s counteroffensive and its failure to achieve rapid breakthroughs are similarly misplaced. The Ukrainians indeed received a diverse array of tanks and armored vehicles, but they have far less mine-clearing equipment than they need. They tried doing it our way—attempting to pierce dense Russian defenses and break out into open territory—and paid a price. After 10 days they decided to take a different approach, more careful and incremental, and better suited to their own capabilities (particularly their precision long-range weapons) and the challenge they faced. That is, by historical standards, fast adaptation. By contrast, the United States Army took a good four years to develop an operational approach to counterinsurgency in Iraq that yielded success in defeating the remnants of the Baathist regime and al-Qaeda-oriented terrorists.

A besetting sin of big militaries, particularly America’s, is to think that their way is either the best way or the only way. As a result of this assumption, the United States builds inferior, mirror-image militaries in smaller allies facing insurgency or external threat. These forces tend to fail because they are unsuited to their environment or simply lack the resources that the U.S. military possesses in plenty. The Vietnamese and, later, the Afghan armies are good examples of this tendency—and Washington’s postwar bad-mouthing of its slaughtered clients, rather than critical self-examination of what it set them up for, is reprehensible.

The Ukrainians are now fighting a slow, patient war in which they are dismantling Russian artillery, ammunition depots, and command posts without weapons such as American ATACMS and German Taurus missiles that would make this sensible approach faster and more effective. They know far more about fighting Russians than anyone in any Western military knows, and they are experiencing a combat environment that no Western military has encountered since World War II. Modesty, never an American strong suit, is in order.

  —  Western Diplomats Need to Stop Whining About Ukraine

[darkmaga-retard]

Anyone remotely familiar with the US strategy for Europe knows that the belligerent thalassocracy plans to use the “old continent” as a punching bag against Russia. This unflattering fate is not something the Europeans want, but the rabid Russophobia they’re being fed is clouding their judgment. Washington DC managed to convince many in the European Union that Moscow is their enemy and that they should fight it at all costs. However, Brussels keeps forgetting that many Western invasion forces have been trying to do that for nearly a millennium, virtually always resulting in the Russian military marching through various European capitals, including Berlin and even Paris. These failed invasions are then used as an excuse that the Kremlin is supposedly “aggressive”, even though it wasn’t the one to initiate these wars. However, Russia was always the one to finish them, to the chagrin of the political West that started them.

Despite taking the suicidal collision course with Moscow, from time to time, there are faint voices of reason coming from the “old continent”. Unlike America and the United Kingdom, which are not only sending long-range weapons, but are also guiding them, Germany decided to tread carefully. Namely, according to its Chancellor Olaf Scholz, “Germany has made a clear decision about what we will do and what we will not do”. He insists that “this decision will not change”. What’s Scholz speaking about specifically was the question of delivering the “Taurus” KEPD 350, a Swedish-German air-launched subsonic cruise missile with a stated range of over 500 km. The Neo-Nazi junta has been “begmanding” this weapon for years, insisting it would be a “game changer”. The obvious question arises, why is Berlin so worried about this? What happened to the Bundeswehr’s belligerence and “readiness to resist (the mythical and ‘evil’) Russian aggression”?

Namely, back on March 1, Margarita Simonyan, the Editor-in-Chief of RT, released a bombshell report containing the leaked conversation between high-ranking German military (Bundeswehr) officers casually talking about striking the Crimean Bridge with up to 20 “Taurus” cruise missiles. The conversation, nearly 40 minutes long, includes the part where the Bundeswehr officers also talked about maintaining plausible deniability. This tells you all you need to know about the supposed “non-involvement” of NATO when it comes to various terrorist attacks and sabotage operations targeting Russian infrastructure, both within and outside of the country. The leaked conversation also revealed the dangerous self-delusions of the political West’s top leadership, as the officers argued that destroying the Crimean Bridge “would be very good and that it wouldn’t be too sensitive for the Russians because of the land bridge”.

Taurus-Leaks

Die einzige Partei, die uns jetzt noch vor dem 3. Weltkrieg bewahren kann, ist nach Aussage der AfD die AfD. Die würde nämlich die Tore weit aufmachen, damit Putins siegreiche Armee ungehindert hindurch marschieren kann.

Die Anhänger von Bernd und Alice hypertonieren maximal und sehen tatsächlich den 3. Weltkrieg schon vor der Tür bzw. Grenze. Das wird (und nur darum geht es ihnen) die Wählerzahl wieder hochtreiben.

Eigentlich ist es mir egal, wann und wo die Bundeswehr abgehört wird. Vermutlich ist das sogar längst die Regel. Aber in diesem Fall hat sie der Demokratie wirklich keinen Gefallen getan. Ob absichtlich oder unabsichtlich werden wir nie erfahren.

[workersolidarity]

🇩🇪 🇷🇺 Vedomosti and Ria Novosti, two Russian News outlets, among others, published a story about the destruction of a German Leopard II on the frontlines in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast of Ukraine where the heaviest battles of the Ukrainian offensive have been fought.

The German MBT was destroyed by a Russian ATGM fired by mobile Intelligence units. A Russian Commander in the intelligence unit with the call sign, "Legend" was interviewed by the newspaper for this article.

After the tank was destroyed, the Russian unit approached the burning armor to find most of the tank crew dead, and the tank driver severely injured.

When the tank driver regained consciousness surrounded by Russian Forces, he began yelling at them in German "nicht shissen" or "don't shoot."

Though the driver was severely injured and did eventually pass, while he remained conscious he told the Russian Intelligence officers he was NOT a mercenary but an active duty member of the Bundeswehr, and that his whole crew were part of the same unit in the Garman military.

Before he died just minutes after being found, the German tank driver shared his regret for his participation in the war.

* If this report is true, it represents a huge escalation from Germany, one of Ukraine's most enthusiastic supporters in the EU.

We know, for instance, that several CIA stars were previously added to their infamous wall of anonymous dead officers not long after Russia's SMO began.

It has also been revealed in leaked documents that there were at least 100 Special Forces from Western countries on the ground in Ukraine, including at least a dozen Americans, as was previously reported on, even in the mainstream media

[mokhosz-nafo]

🇩🇪A former Bundeswehr officer confessed to passing secret military information to Russia. And all because he was afraid of a nuclear escalation.

According to media reports, Thomas H. is accused of leaking data on ammunition and aviation equipment to the Russian consulate. He said that he was prompted to do so... by a video "possibly on TikTok" by a pro-Russian blogger.

Thus, he wanted to "know when it will explode" and send his family to a safe place in time. In court, Thomas H. said he regretted his decision.

TAURUS - Webkonferenz von US-Luftwaffe geleakt?

Wurde die TAURUS Webkonferenz der Bundeswehroffiziere von der US-Luftwaffe geleakt? John Hellmer sieht dafür starke Belege. Das geheimnisvolle Leak zur TAURUS Webkonferenz In einem Blogbeitrag vom 04. 03. 2024 über die TAURUS Webkonferenz der vier Bundeswehroffiziere berichtete ich über einen Kommentar des ehemaligen CIA-Analysten Larry C. Johnson. Darin verweist er unter anderem darauf, dass sich offensichtlich zumindest Brigadegeneral Gräfe bewusst war, dass die besprochene Unterstützung der Ukraine bei dem TAURUS-Einsatz einer Kriegsbeteiligung Deutschlands gleichkäme. Der Blogbeitrag enthält zudem einen Nachtrag vom 09. 03. 2024, in dem es darum geht, dass ein solcher TAURUS-Einsatz offensichtlich schon Monate vor der Webkonferenz, nämlich im Oktober 2023 zwischen Bundeswehr- und US-Offizieren besprochen wurde. In einem am 15. 03. 2024 veröffentlichten Blogbeitrag schreibt nun John Helmer: "Ein kleiner Vogel ist aufgetaucht und singt, dass die Aufzeichnung der deutschen Generäle, die ihren Plan, russische Ziele mit der Taurus-Rakete anzugreifen, besprechen, von den Amerikanern abgefangen und den Russen zugespielt wurde. Ein großer Vogel, um genau zu sein. Die Telefonkonferenz des deutschen Luftwaffenchefs General Ingo Gerhartz ... , eines seiner Stabsgeneräle und zweier Oberstleutnants der Luftwaffe am 19. Februar wurde vom US-Signalnachrichtendienst abgehört, nachdem die Deutschen zum ersten Mal mit dem neuen regionalen Kommandeur der US Air Force (USAF), General Kevin Schneider, zusammengetroffen waren." Doch viel wichtiger für Helmer ist noch einganz anderer Punkt. In der Webkonferenz war ja die Reden von zwei Personen, Schneider und Wilsbach, mit denen militärische Angelegenheiten besprochen wurden. Bei den beiden Namen konnte man annehmen, dass es sich um Deutsche handelt. Doch wie Dirk Pohlmann und Tobias Augenbraun herausfanden, verbergen sich hinter den Namen eben General Kevin B. Schneider und General Kenneth S. Wilsbach. Wie Helmer nochmals herausstreicht, haben die beiden US-Generale jedoch mit der Ukraine oder Europa nichts zu tun. Helmer zitiert aus dem Video von Pohlmann und Augenbraun: "Die Interpretation des zusätzlichen Beweismaterials durch Augenbraun und Pohlmann lautet: 'Offenbar wurden -General Wilsbach ... bereits im Oktober 2023 Pläne vorgelegt, die auch Gegenstand weiterer Gespräche sind... Das ist aus folgendem Grund erstaunlich: Der ganze Rest des Gesprächs dreht sich darum, wie man Taurus dem Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius näher bringen kann...' Augenbraun und Pohlmann sind der Meinung, dass es sich bei dem deutschen Einsatzplan, der im vergangenen Oktober mit Wilsbach besprochen wurde, um den Gerhartz-Raketenangriff auf Russland handelte und dass das Bundesverteidigungsministerium und das Kanzleramt zu diesem Zeitpunkt nichts davon wussten. Diese Interpretation wurde in einem Bericht eines Brasilianers bekräftigt, der behauptet: 'Hier haben wir offenbar einen eindeutigen Fall, in dem hochrangige deutsche Militärs direkte Befehle für einen Angriff auf die Krim - Teil der Russischen Föderation - direkt von amerikanischen Offizieren der Pazifischen Luftstreitkräfte erhalten haben.' In den Aufzeichnungen darüber, was die Deutschen tatsächlich sagten und meinten, gibt es dafür keinen Beweis." Wie General Graefe in der Webkonferenz sagte, wusste aber US-General Schneider gar nichts von den Gesprächen zwischen den Bundeswehr- und US-Offizieren im Oktober 2023. Für Helmer kann es deshalb im Oktober 2023 nicht um den TAURUS-Einsatz in der Ukraine gegangen sein. "Stattdessen gibt es Beweise dafür, dass Gerhartz und Graefe ihren Russland-Angriffsplan nicht vor ihren deutschen politischen Vorgesetzten, sondern vor den Amerikanern verheimlicht haben; und dass sie in Gesprächen mit den beiden USAF-Generälen Wilsbach und Schneider falsch dargestellt haben, was sie in Berlin taten. Diese beiden USAF-Generäle sind auf China als Feind fokussiert; sie haben nie einen Stab oder ein operatives Kommando in Deutschland und gegen Russland innegehabt; ihre derzeitigen Kommandos beschränken sich auf den asiatisch-pazifischen Raum mit dem Ziel China. Wilsbach befand sich in seinem PACAF-Hauptquartier auf Hawaii und konzentrierte sich auf chinesische Ziele, als Graefe auf dem Tonband sagt, dass 'wir Wilsbach all dies vorgelegt haben'. 'All dies' war die Planung der Luftwaffe gegen China, nicht gegen Russland - ein Grund für den chinesischen Militärgeheimdienst, die Deutschen in Singapur zusammen mit den Russen genau zu überwachen." Ein Gespräch zwischen den Bundeswehroffizieren und zwei US-Generälen, deren Schwerpunkt im Pazifik und Kampf gegen China liegt, ergibt keinen Sinn. Helmer vermutet auch, dass Pohlmann und Augenbraun den russischen Artikel über die Quelle des Leaks nicht kennen. "Die deutschen Reporter wissen nichts von dem russischen Pressebericht, der die USA als Quelle des Lecks identifiziert. Sie haben nicht bemerkt, dass die ersten fünf Minuten des Gesprächs das besondere Interesse der USAF an der Überwachung von Graefe in Singapur offenbaren. Auch das Motiv der USAF, den Gerhartz-Kriegsplan gegen Russland zu veröffentlichen, bevor - und nicht nachdem - er mit Washington abgesprochen war, wird jetzt enthüllt... Am Ende der Originalaufzeichnung befinden sich außerdem ein zusätzlicher Ton und ein Transkript, die für die ursprüngliche Veröffentlichung in Moskau nicht ins Russische übersetzt wurden. Dies dauert fünf Minuten länger." In diesem abschließenden Teil äußerte General Gerhartz die Zuversicht, dass die Offiziere "Verteidigungsminister Pistorius dazu bringen können, zu tun, was sie wollen, und dass er ebenso wie sie darauf erpicht ist, dass ihre Operationen mindestens so kompetent wie die der Briten und Franzosen erscheinen." Abschließend heißt es in dem Beitrag von John Helmer: "Graefe erzählte Gerhartz dann von einem produktiven Treffen, das er gerade in Singapur gehabt hatte. Laut der Google-Übersetzung des Deutschen: 'Ich habe noch etwas aus ... ich habe gerade den Schneider getroffen, oder ... können Sie gleich dranbleiben?' Das von Graefe verwendete Wort war Schneider. Entweder war das ein Code für General Schneider, der gesprochen wurde, um vor den anderen zu verbergen, was gemeint war, oder jeder wusste, wer gemeint war. 'Ja, OK', antwortete Gerhartz. 'Ich rufe Sie gleich noch einmal gesondert an.' Ein Zeichen dafür, dass das, was Graefe aus Schneider 'herausbekommen' hatte, so sensibel war, dass es nicht für die Ohren der beiden Oberstleutnante bestimmt war. Diese letzte Enthüllung deutet auch darauf hin, dass, wenn die Russen die Telefonkonferenz abgehört haben, sie auch wissen, was Schneider Graefe für Gerhartz gesagt hat. Wenn die USA hinter dem Abhören und dem Durchsickern der Informationen stecken, wollen sie Schneiders Rolle streng geheim halten."

Ukraine attacks Crimea bridge after German military caught proposing attack–what will happen to German-Russian relations?

COGwriter

Ukraine attacked the bridge to Crimea after it found out that the German army was considering doing it:

Ukraine Attack Shuts Kerch Bridge After Plans Leaked

March 3, 2024

Russian authorities in Crimea closed a vital crossing between the Russian mainland and the peninsula after Moscow accused Kyiv of launching dozens of drones at the territory overnight.

Traffic crossing the Crimean Bridge, also known as the Kerch Bridge, was “temporarily blocked” in the early hours of Sunday, …

Russia’s Defense Ministry said early on Sunday that Ukraine had targeted Crimea with 38 airborne drones in an overnight attack. Russian air defense systems downed all of the incoming drones, Moscow said. It did not specify where the uncrewed vehicles were shot down, nor whether there was any damage.

Several anonymous Telegram channels had reported explosions close to the eastern Crimean port city of Feodosia early on Sunday. The city is approximately 100 kilometers from the Kerch Bridge. …

The brief closure of the Kerch Bridge and the flurry of reported drone strikes come shortly after a senior Russian state media official published a recording purportedly capturing discussions between German military officials on the provision of military aid to Ukraine, including long-range missiles.

German officials discussed how Ukraine could “strike the Crimea Bridge,” Margarita Simonyan, the head of the state-controlled outlet Russia Today, said in a post to Telegram on Friday. The meeting took place on February 19, Simonyan said. …

“We demand an explanation from Germany,” Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement. https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-drones-crimea-feodosia-kerch-bridge-russia-germany-taurus-leak-recording-1875346

Russia Fumes After German Officials Heard Discussing Strike On Crimean Bridge With Taurus Missile

March 3, 2024

Russian media claims an alleged leaked audio file contains a recording of German generals discussing the possibility of a strike on the Crimean Bridge. According to the audio, German military officers mulled the options for carrying out an attack on the Crimean Bridge, including using long-range Taurus missiles. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said NATO had “egg on its face” due to the purported leaked audio between German Bundeswehr officers, according to TASS. Lavrov hit out saying Russia has been completely certain about NATO military activities in Ukraine. https://www.news18.com/videos/world/russia-fumes-after-german-officials-heard-discussing-strike-on-crimean-bridge-with-taurus-missile-8801443.html

Germany Confirms Leaked Audio Of Its Top Generals Discussing Blowing Up The Crimean Bridge

In a huge development and absolute smoking gun revelation, the government of Germany has confirmed the authenticity of a leaked audio recording file published by Russia’s state-backed RT. The leak was first published by RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, who described that she received it from Russian security officials.

It first appeared under the headline “Alleged audio of German officers discussing Crimean Bridge attack leaked” – as it featured top ranking Germany military officials in a private discussion of “a potential German operation to bomb the Crimean Bridge in Russia,” as it was initially described by RT. Russian media is now openly admitting that the call was in fact intercepted by Russia. Moscow is now saying this shows “direct” German involvement in the war.

The audio could have easily been dismissed in the West as simply Russian-sourced propaganda or even an AI fake; however, in an unexpected development the highest levels of the German government have now confirmed that the audio is indeed real and Berlin launched an investigation into the “serious” breach of secured communications.

“What is being reported is a very serious matter and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in Rome.

Germany’s military has also confirmed the leaked recording, but officials have avoided weighing in the actual content of what was said pending an internal investigation: 03/02/24 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/germany-confirms-leaked-audio-its-top-generals-discussing-blowing-crimean-bridge

This is interesting to me for several reasons.

The first to mention is that when I was in Europe a couple of years ago, a diplomat told me that certain information in the media about Belarus was in error and that actually there was a secret plot executed by the German military to do something that many blamed Belarus for (Hitler’s side did something like this in the past). Anyway, having the German military confirming that Germany was discussing a covert plan to be directly, militarily involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has increased the credibility of the account from my diplomatic source from before.

The second is that NATO is not supposed to have troops fighting in Ukraine or for Ukraine against Russia. This is a major embarrassment for Germany on two fronts. One, the Germans were caught. And the other is that this hurts German credibility.

That said, there is a third reason this was of interest to me.

Which is?

Well, Germany is going to want to attempt to mend its relations with Russia, so this might push Germany to do a little more of that–though while there may be a formal apology, I am thinking about things behind the scenes.

Despite Russia’s ‘Special Military Operation’ into Ukraine, there are a lot of Russian sympathizers in Germany. Notice also something a while back from the Los Angeles Times:

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there have been protests worldwide against Moscow’s actions, and certainly in Germany, where activism abounds in places like Berlin. The rise in voices against Russia has led to some Russian bashing. But it is no secret that many of the more than 2 million migrants from the former Soviet Union who now live in Germany are strong supporters of Vladimir Putin. And they never been shy about publicly expressing their support. …

Among the Germany-based Putin backers, the war is regularly referred to as the “liberation of Ukraine.” Right-wing platforms such as the far-right Compact Magazine hail German-Russian friendship.

“If there is one lesson from history, it is this: Germans and Russians must never again allow themselves to be set against each other,” said Jürgen Elsässer, editor in chief of the magazine. “There are arsonists in Kyiv who want to drag the whole world into the abyss to save their regime.” …

Elsässer’s Telegram channel “Compact Magazine” has over 60,000 subscribers. The channel also distributes videos from the blocked Russian propaganda television network RT.

“Polarization is definitely increasing,” Quent said. “By many the ban of RT is seen as evidence that they are in fact telling the truth.” …

Why is there still a vocal minority adopting a pro-Russia line? Many of them are of German ancestry. They left the former Soviet Union because they felt like strangers there and wanted to return to their homeland.

“But here in Germany they were seen as Russians, not Germans. At some point, they started thinking, ‘All right, if we’re seen as Russians, we’ll act like it,’” said Vladimir Kaminer, one of the best-known contemporary Russian writers, who has lived in Berlin for more than 30 years. “When you lose your social status, you quickly develop an inferiority complex.” …

When the phone rings in the home of a 75-year-old historian in Detmold, North Rhine-Westphalia, Russian radio can be heard in the background. Of German descent — he declined to be identified out of privacy concerns — his family moved from Kazakhstan to West Germany in 1983. Asked about his feelings toward Russia, he quickly takes a stand.

“The West supports the bandits in Kyiv,” he said. “With the eastward expansion, NATO broke its promises to Russia. Russia was in danger and had to defend itself.” https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-04-17/putin-sympathizers-in-germany-living-in-a-parallel-universe

Will there be future cooperation between Russia and Germany?

Yes.

As far as prophetic cooperation goes, the Bible identifies the ancient ancestors of the Russians as traders with Europe in the future:

Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules (Ezekiel 27:13-14).

Today, Russia is a major trader of commodities such as oil and gold. It also exports copper, which is the major component of bronze.

The old Worldwide Church of God taught about the identity of Togarmah:

Togarmah, in part, settled ancient Armenia. Descendants of Togarmah also migrated eastward into Mongolia, where they are today found mixed with elements of Magog. Togarmah’s modern-day descendants are also found in China’s Sinkiang (Xin-giang) province and in Russian Siberia or Tartary.

Ezekiel, however, speaks specifically of Togarmah “in the uttermost parts of the north” (38:6, Amplified). This is a clear reference to the Siberian branch of Togarmah. (Stump K. South Asia in Prophecy. Plain Truth, May 1980, pp. 13-14)

So, Siberia is pointed to for part of Togarmah. The “far north” must include Russia as Siberia is part of it.

Note that the Bible says that all trading nations will have become wealthy trading with Babylon (the restored European Empire–not Asia) and that really prospers in the beginning of the great tribulation:

3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury (Revelation 18:3).

Thus, Russia is prophesied to attain wealth from the coming restored European Empire–which will be German-dominated.

Germany and Russia will one day make a deal. A deal that will NOT end well for the USA or its British-descended allies.

On August 16, 2016, I noticed two items that the old Radio Church of God published back in 1962 (which was before I could read):

United within the ancient boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire; united by the common spiritual bond of universal Catholicism; united in a burgeoning and booming industrial economy that dominates today’s world; united geographically in the most productive and industrial complex of all the earth — at least TEN NATIONS OF MODERN EUROPE WILL MARCH ONTO THE SCENE OF WORLD HISTORY AS THE GREATEST SINGLE HUMAN FORCE EVER SEEN BY MAN! This United Europe will form a nonaggression pact or political alignment of some sort with the Soviet East. …

Modern Europe is counseling and making treaties and alliances and agreements to conquer this earth! … Germany, those living in Germany, even the German government, may not yet know that they are going to join in a treaty with the Russians to destroy the United States and bring it to its knees-it is not in his “heart” to think so, but on the other hand it IS in his “heart” to destroy-the very characteristic of the Assyrian, the modern German, is a harsh, cruel, iron, dedication to militarism and destruction! …

MAN’S ONLY HOPE LIES IN TURNING TO HIS CREATOR GOD!

“At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom. to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, TURN FROM THEIR EVIL, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them… Behold, I frame evil against YOU, and devise a device against YOU: return ye now EVERY ONE from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good!” (Jer. 18:7, 8, 11).

The case of America and Great Britain is hopeless! (Hill DJ,What is Germany’s Destiny? Plain Truth, March 1962, pp. 28-29)

The German people are now asking themselves: “Can we rely on the Americans and British?” … These questions lead to the logical conclusion that maybe the only people the Germans can rely on themselves. They are now thinking: “Perhaps we can strike a better bargain with the Russians ourselves.” …

Once a German-dominated Europe is fully established, Germany will be ready to negotiate and bargain with Russia- and behind the backs of the Western Allies if necessary. …

When will a Russo-German deal be made? Here is a quotation from a circular letter issued in September, 1950 by the Nazi Geo-political Center in Madrid:

“However long we may continue to milk the Americans of millions of dollars, there must come the inevitable moment when we shall have to make it crystal clear to them that we are not willing to join the fight against Russia for American interests … (Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T H. Terens, p. 15). …

Most Americans and Britons are not aware of what Germany and Europe are planning against them. This is partly due to the cunning of German. politics. …

World events are moving swiftly toward the climax when Great Britain and the United. States will be attacked, conquered and DESTROYED! (Boraker R. Are the Germans Secretly Dealing with Moscow? Plain Truth, May 1962, pp. 45-47)

As regular readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, I have long expected that Russia will make a deal with the Europeans–including years before I saw what the old Radio Church of God taught (e.g. 07/06/14 German-Russian relations a prelude to the end of USA dominance?).

Why?

Consider the following prophecy:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39).

The “he” is the Germanic European King of the North (cf. Daniel 11:40). The strongest fortresses in the 21st century belong to the USA, and to a lessor degree its British-descended allies (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

Since Bible prophecy points to Anglo-lands being divided in various scriptures (for more than Daniel 11:39, see Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided?), I expect that Russia may well end up with American land, such as some or all of Alaska and maybe even parts of Canada.

That is consistent with modern reality as well as what the old Radio Church of God taught.

In the 21st century, Russia and Germany have economic reasons to cooperate.

This latest leak is an embarrassment for Germany and I believe some behind-the-scenes action will take place to try to repair it.

The Russians and Germans tend to despise the Americans and the Brits more than they despise each other.

Remember the adage that, “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”

And while Russia will later turn against Europe according to prophecies in Isaiah and Jeremiah and Revelation, prior to that it will support the coming German-dominated European King of the North Beast power against the United States.

Wer hat wirklich gelauscht?

„Der erste Schritt des Nachdenkens besteht darin, aufzuzählen, wer alles Zugang zu den Daten gehabt haben könnte.

Da sind zuerst die vier Teilnehmer selbst. Dann befand sich einer dieser Teilnehmer in einem Hotel in Singapur, mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit in einem Raum mit Außenfenstern. Es gab also mehrere Optionen, an diesem Endpunkt mitzuhören, ob nun über eine Wanze im Raum selbst oder über hochtechnologische Varianten wie Abhören über Infrarotlaser. Die Daten liefen aber auch über das Internet, das an einigen Punkte auf der Strecke bekanntermaßen überwacht wird, beispielsweise im Frankfurter Netzknoten. Und dann war die Software, mit der telefoniert wurde, ein Produkt des US-Konzerns Cisco, die wie alle US-Software – und das auf Grund einer bekannten gesetzlichen Vorgabe – eine Hintertür für US-Dienste besitzt (die selbstverständlich auch jeder andere nutzen kann, der im Besitz der erforderlichen Daten ist).

Das sind ziemlich viele Varianten. Mercouris und Christophorou von The Duran tippen beispielsweise entweder auf einen chinesischen Geheimdienst oder auf Singapur selbst, das zwar Sanktionen gegen Russland verhängt habe, aber nur auf Druck der USA und ohne allzu großen Eifer. Über die Hintertüren wäre eine Reihe von US-Diensten denkbar (auch wenn es etwas schwierig ist, sich den weiteren Weg der Daten vorzustellen), und über den Frankfurter Netzknoten eben der BND.“

Gedanken zum #WW3:

Die #BidenCrimeFamily lässt das besetzte #Deutschland die Situation mit #Russland durch #CIA & #MI6 eskalieren, damit sich die #USA spätestens im Nov. im #Krieg befinden.

Ihr letztes Mittel, um #Trump47 zu verhindern.

Wenn #Trump 47. US-Präsident wird, würde er die globale Elite, die mit Kindesvergewaltigungen Politiker weltweit erpresst, und der CIA, MI6, #Biden etc. zuarbeiten, stoppen & bestrafen.

Deswegen haben sie bereits 2020 seine Wahl gestohlen, was in 2024 unmöglich wäre.

🇷🇺 weiß, daß die #Bundeswehr schon länger in der #Ukraine mithilft, z. B. bei der Ausbildung. Wenn sie jetzt erst nach dem #Krimbrücke-#Leak unsere Kriegsbeteiligung offiziell deklarieren, ist das ein Freibrief für unsere Kriegstreiber, nun auch #Soldaten zu schicken.

Sooooooo...Navalny gets buried and on the same day the russians post that German military phone call. That seems sus. 👀 Anything to say about it, Jammy? 👀

Putler dropped his election program, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

And leaking something like that on a day like this is probably just a coincidence. (I'm being sarcastic) I mean, now everyone, especially the Propaganda accounts, are talking about this non-stop and not about the arrests or how many people turned up on the funeral or the cameras recoding everyone who was there or the strange circumstances of the funeral or ... .

As for the Bundeswehr phone call ...

The call when Vatniks talk about it:
