Germany continues to break from USA STRONG
Via RT:
Russia and Germany have agreed to connect Germany’s capital Berlin with St. Petersburg. The train will go from Germany to the Russian exclave city of Kaliningrad and then onwards to St. Petersburg. There is currently no direct railway between St. Petersburg and Berlin. Passengers have to make a two-hour connection in Moscow and spend 32 hours on road. It is also difficult to get from Berlin to Kaliningrad by train - you have to change trains twice. The new route will also slash the travel time between St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad by almost a half.Excellent. Pipelines and railroads are PERMANENT connections that create commercial and cultural links between their destinations. With people and products flowing steadily, it's much harder for Germany to start yet another war against Russia, or join USA STRONG's current war against Russia. The Kaliningrad connection undoubtedly sweetened the deal for Germany. Kaliningrad aka Königsberg is historically German, or more precisely Prussian. It was the center of earlier Kraut empires, and was handed to Russia after WW2. Could this provide a pretext for future Kraut leaders to recapture Kaliningrad? Possibly, but for now the easy connection is likely to relieve such pressures.
