https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Germany#Industry

Industry and construction accounted for 30.7% of the gross domestic product in 2017 and employed 24.2% of the workforce.[6] Germany excels in the production of automobiles, machinery, electrical equipment and chemicals. With the manufacture of 5.2 million vehicles in 2009, Germany was the world's fourth-largest producer and largest exporter of automobiles. German automotive companies enjoy an extremely strong position in the so-called premium segment, with a combined world market share of about 90%.

Small- to medium-sized manufacturing firms (Mittelstand companies) which specialize in technologically advanced niche products and are often family-owned form a major part of the German economy.[97] It is estimated that about 1500 German companies occupy a top three position in their respective market segment worldwide. In about two thirds of all industry sectors German companies belong to the top three competitors.[98]

Germany is the only country among the top five arms exporters that is not a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.[99]

Services See also: Tourism in Germany

In 2017 services constituted 68.6% of gross domestic product (GDP), and the sector employed 74.3% of the workforce.[64] The subcomponents of services are financial, renting, and business activities (30.5%); trade, hotels and restaurants, and transport (18%); and other service activities (21.7%).

Germany is the seventh most visited country in the world,[100][101] with a total of 407 million overnights during 2012.[102] This number includes 68.83 million nights by foreign visitors. In 2012, over 30.4 million international tourists arrived in Germany. Berlin has become the third most visited city destination in Europe.[103] Additionally, more than 30% of Germans spend their holiday in their own country, with the biggest share going to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Domestic and international travel and tourism combined directly contribute over EUR43.2 billion to German GDP. Including indirect and induced impacts, the industry contributes 4.5% of German GDP and supports 2 million jobs (4.8% of total employment).[104] The largest annual international trade fairs and congresses are held in several German cities such as Hannover, Frankfurt, and Berlin.[105]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Germany#Energy

Germany is the world's fifth-largest consumer of energy, and two-thirds of its primary energy was imported in 2002. In the same year, Germany was Europe's largest consumer of electricity, totaling 512.9 terawatt-hours. Government policy promotes energy conservation and the development of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy. As a result of energy-saving measures, energy efficiency has been improving since the beginning of the 1970s. The government has set the goal of meeting half the country's energy demands from renewable sources by 2050. Renewable energy also plays an increasing role in the labor market: Almost 700,000 people are employed in the energy sector. About 50 percent of them work with renewable energies.[1]

In 2000, the red-green coalition under Chancellor Schröder and the German nuclear power industry agreed to phase out all nuclear power plants by 2021.[112] The conservative coalition under Chancellor Merkel reversed this decision in January 2010, electing to keep plants open. The nuclear disaster of the Japanese nuclear plant Fukushima in March 2011 however, changed the political climate fundamentally: Older nuclear plants have been shut down. Germany is seeking to have wind, solar, biogas, and other renewable energy sources play a bigger role, as the country looks to completely phase out nuclear power by 2022 and coal-fired power plants by 2038.[113] Renewable energy yet still plays a more modest role in energy consumption, though German solar and wind power industries play a leading role worldwide.

In 2009, Germany's total energy consumption (not just electricity) came from the following sources:[114] oil 34.6%, natural gas 21.7%, lignite 11.4%, bituminous coal 11.1%, nuclear power 11.0%, hydro and wind power 1.5%, others 9.0%.

In the first half of 2021, coal, natural gas and nuclear energy comprised 56% of the total electricity fed into Germany's grid in the first half of 2021. Coal was the leader out of the conventional energy sources, comprising over 27% of Germany's electricity. Wind power's contribution to the electric grid was 22%.[113]

There are 3 major entry points for oil pipelines: in the northeast (the Druzhba pipeline, coming from Gdańsk), west (coming from Rotterdam) and southeast (coming from Nelahozeves). The oil pipelines of Germany do not constitute a proper network, and sometimes only connect two different locations. Major oil refineries are located in or near the following cities: Schwedt, Spergau, Vohburg, Burghausen, Karlsruhe, Cologne, Gelsenkirchen, Lingen, Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg and Heide.[115]

Germany's network of natural gas pipelines, on the other hand, is dense and well-connected. Imported pipeline gas comes mostly from Russia, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Although gas imports from Russia have been historically reliable, even during the cold war, recent price disputes between Gazprom and the former Soviet states, such as Ukraine, have also affected Germany. As a result, high political importance is placed on the construction of the Nord Stream pipeline, running from Vyborg in Russia along the Baltic sea to Greifswald in Germany. This direct connection avoids third-party transit countries.[115] Germany imports 50% to 75% of its natural gas from Russia.[116]

If I ran Russia, I'd finance guerillas in Germany.

And probably the u.s. too.

Just let the black market get flooded with small arms and ammunitions and watch

Diversity niggers will do the rest for free

Thats different, because the examples we've seen in the west, are allowed and aided and given cover, by western agencies.

If opponents of Germany and five eyes want to actually disrupt them internally, adding weapons to the mix won't on its own be sufficient from what I can see.

Plus, if the fighting is happening in Germany, with guerillas of german citizenship, then the u.s. and german forces will have their hands full, and the outcome of that will be large scale disapproval of German involvement in the war.

That kneecaps the u.s. effort, because if Germany isn't on board, poland will remain neutral (because they already have u.s. assets there to protect them). And this will give an out to other nations, like Finland, and Switzerland, to remain neutral.

The whole war would fizzle instead of going bang.

For a start, joke's on the EU right now, they are the fall guy in the US plan, literally setting themselves up for ww3 here

Also, UK is no longer part of the EU and none of the EU members are part of 5eyes as a result

Shengen is a bitch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement

The Schengen Agreement (English: /ˈʃɛŋən/ SHENG-ən, Luxembourgish: [ˈʃæŋən](listen)) is a treaty which led to the creation of Europe's Schengen Area, in which internal border checks have largely been abolished. It was signed on 14 June 1985, near the town of Schengen, Luxembourg, by five of the ten member states of the then European Economic Community. It proposed measures intended to gradually abolish border checks at the signatories' common borders, including reduced-speed vehicle checks which allowed vehicles to cross borders without stopping, allowing residents in border areas freedom to cross borders away from fixed checkpoints, and the harmonisation of visa policies.[1]

In 1990, the Agreement was supplemented by the Schengen Convention which proposed the complete abolition of systematic internal border controls and a common visa policy. The Schengen Area operates very much like a single state for international travel purposes with external border controls for travellers entering and exiting the area, and common visas, but with no internal border controls. It currently consists of 26 European countries covering a population of over 400 million people and an area of 4,312,099 square kilometres (1,664,911 sq mi).[2]

Originally, the Schengen treaties and the rules adopted under them operated independently from the European Union. However, in 1999 they were incorporated into European Union law by the Amsterdam Treaty, while providing opt-outs for the only two EU member states that had remained outside the Area: Ireland and the United Kingdom (which subsequently withdrew from the EU in 2020). Schengen is now a core part of EU law, and all EU member states without an opt-out which have not already joined the Schengen Area are legally obliged to do so when technical requirements have been met. Several non-EU countries are included in the area through special association agreements.[3]

Good luck with that...

I think you vastly overestimate the EU's capacity to control its own environment and vastly underestimate the utter arrogance and stupidity and lack of grasp on reality of its technocratic karen leadership For a start, joke's on the EU right now, they are the fall guy in the US plan, literally setting themselves up for ww3 here Also, UK is no longer part of the EU and none of the EU members are part of 5eyes as a result Shengen is a bitch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement **The Schengen Agreement (English: /ˈʃɛŋən/ SHENG-ən, Luxembourgish: [ˈʃæŋən] (listen)) is a treaty which led to the creation of Europe's Schengen Area, in which internal border checks have largely been abolished.** It was signed on 14 June 1985, near the town of Schengen, Luxembourg, by five of the ten member states of the then European Economic Community.
