I’ve noticed that many of my listeners and acquaintances are all worried about the prospect of an EU–Russia war, one in which Romania might become the next proxy, following the tragic and fatal example of Ukraine.
I would have preferred not to have any reason to comment on this. Until now, the signs weren’t too clear. But yesterday, following a series of events we’ll discuss over the coming days, Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, stepped forward and indeed gave me enough reason to no longer answer negatively when asked about the possibility of a war involving Romania, a EU–Russia war in which Romania becomes the proxy. I now say: it’s possible. In fact, it was always probable.
What does Merz declare? “Western allies are no longer imposing restrictions on the use of long-range weapons delivered to Ukraine against Russian military targets.” He actually made this statement two days earlier, at a kind of forum in Finland. It got more media coverage yesterday because that’s when it really came to light. Merz emphasized that these restrictions were lifted not only for German weapons but also for those supplied by the UK and France. He also said there are no restrictions on the use of such long-range weapons from the US either.
A bombshell! Because this raises the alert level for the hyper-militarized Russia, which now finds out that long-range weapons will be fired at its territory from within Ukraine. Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesperson, also stated yesterday that this decision to lift restrictions on long-range missile use by Ukraine “runs counter to efforts to reach a peaceful understanding. If such decisions were indeed made, then they contradict our aspirations for a political settlement.”
Friends, understand this: Peskov’s statement doesn’t conceal the prospect of war – it confirms it. It doesn’t show Russian fear, quite the opposite. Peskov knows very well, as I do, and as other experts do: when it comes to military potential – not even considering the nuclear, where Russia is clearly superior – the conventional military capabilities of Russia far surpass those of the European Union combined with Ukraine. They’re not even comparable. And my prediction is that, if Ukraine dares to press the button and launch long-range missiles – without using nuclear arms – then Ukraine’s major cities will be wiped off the face of the Earth, no matter how reinforced they are. And probably the capitals involved in this venture – Berlin, Paris, or London – could also be affected.
According to a U.S. analysis made public by Donald Trump himself, Russia’s non-nuclear missiles now have the potential to almost entirely destroy these capitals with a single payload—reaching Berlin in 9 minutes, Paris in 12, and London in 14 or 15. Do you realize what we’re talking about here?
And what else did Merz say? Just to show you how detached from reality the man is: “Throughout history, conflicts have usually ended when one or both sides reached military or economic exhaustion. Clearly, we’re still far from that point in this war.” Can you believe the nonsense he’s spouting? After three years of war, Mr. Friedrich Merz, who’s on the ground? The EU. Who’s nearly exhausted? Ukraine and the EU! What has Russia done? It grew economically. Russia is the one that exhausted you. Who packed up and left? America! Because it realized it wasn’t well-prepared and couldn’t beat Russia on the battlefield, as Trump has openly admitted multiple times. So what kind of scenario are you proposing, Mr. Merz?
But who exactly is Mr. Merz? He’s about 70 years old. He was a politician until around 2009, when he left politics entirely and launched a successful career – mind you, after turning 50 – in law and finance. Where did he work? Do you want to know? I’ll tell you: He sat on the boards of major companies, especially holding a prestigious position at BlackRock. BlackRock is the largest company in the world, the one mandated by the Biden administration to rebuild Ukraine (what a coincidence!), and which, through various shareholders, ultimately belongs to the wealthiest family in the world: the Rothschilds. That’s why I said that Merz, just like Emmanuel Macron, is a political proxy of the Rothschild family.
Over the course of his career, he built a reputation as a savvy businessman, but also drew criticism for being an elitist, disconnected from ordinary citizens’ problems. And it shows. This guy wants to go to war—potentially destroying his own country, his capital, or who knows what—while Germany today is economically devastated, barely breathing, as the saying goes, “breathing through one nostril.” Merz returned to politics only in 2018, after his rival Angela Merkel’s influence over the CDU began to wane. He tried to become party president in 2018 and again in 2021, but failed both times. Still, third time’s the charm: two years later, he finally became CDU president—and as you’ve seen, Germany’s new chancellor.
Conclusions and explanations, friends: You already know that a deal was made between Russia and the US, between Putin and Trump, to arrange the regional geo-military balance under, let’s say, Russia’s jurisdiction. Why? Because America is terrified of de-dollarization. It will economically collapse if Russia and China enforce de-dollarization through BRICS+ countries. So Trump gave in. He reportedly told his aides: “Look, I gave Putin full access to the Black Sea, and in return, he gave me access to Greenland—it’s a fair deal. He’ll take Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, whatever else is around there—but not Poland, take note. And we take Greenland, because he lets us.”
What’s happening now? The EU has been excluded from this negotiating table. And, of course, BlackRock sees its potential weakened – the same BlackRock that had secured Ukraine’s reconstruction contract under Zelensky’s signature and Biden’s White House. So what does it do? It counterattacks through its man Friedrich Merz. BlackRock steps into the geopolitical war via the EU channel, and puts this unfortunate guy Merz up to making bold war declarations on behalf of the EU and Ukraine.
But what exactly are you going to do, EU? If the Americans pulled out because they couldn’t handle it, what are you going to do? You have only one nuclear power within the EU, France, whose nuclear capacity is, I believe, at least 100 times weaker than Russia’s. So let’s go to war? Ukraine is in ruins. There’s no one left to draft, the infrastructure is destroyed. And what do these smart Europeans think? That they need Romania as a proxy.
I guarantee that Romania was factored into their plans, including when they tried so hard to install Nicușor Dan as president. A bellicose president, as they say, one who wants war and doesn’t deny it. Just like interim president Bolojan, who is clearly aligned with Ursula von der Leyen’s agenda.
This danger is looming over us, friends. And it looms even more now that Trump is in trouble. He didn’t manage to bring peace in 24 hours, as he bragged he would. The arrogant Trump was caught off guard, and now he’s puffing up at Putin—but it’s just for show. Putin ignores him. He lets Peskov or Medvedev answer on his behalf. He doesn’t bother. Because clearly, the real power lies elsewhere—specifically, in the Russia–China tandem.
What will we do? As usual, we’ll act foolishly. What do I hope we’ll do? That we’ll act with balance and open dialogue channels with both Russia and China. Because otherwise, remember this: we will become a proxy with a tragic fate, just like Ukraine has been for the past three years.
