European Protests Call For Rejection Of Militant Islam And Peace With Russia
2014-12-12
[Breitbart] Thousands of citizens have taken to the streets of Germany and Denmark over the past couple of days to protest the 'Islamisation' of Europe, to oppose Sharia law, and to call for peace with Christian Russia, as the attendance of weekly street rallies snowballs over immigration concerns.

#3  AFAIC, Putin's actions in the Crimea were in large part about GERMANY, both as rival or threat to Russia as well as co-defender of Russia agz the Islamic hordes = Hard Boyz - DITTO ALSO AS PER TURKEY.

Russia = has the "GERMAN QUESTION", + "WILD CARD" of TURKEY, while China has = the "JAPAN QUESTION" + safe to say the "US/AMERICAN QUESTION" as per getting the current "Sole" Superpower US to unilater give up minima 1/2 of the Pacific by 2020 [2020 NLT 2025?]

* E.G. RUSSIA TODAY > GERMANY WANTS TO SEND TROOPS TO HELP KURDS FIGHT ISIS.

And so it begins ... ...

* GROONG > RUSSIA, TURKEY "PIVOT" TO EURASIA.

At least for starters until 2030-2050 where OWG Co-Superpower Iran rival, protagonist Turkey is concerned.

* SAME > RUSSIA [Putin = China?] CHALLENGES US CONTAINMENT STRATEGY.

* RUSSIA TODAY > US DESTROYING THE FOUNDATION OF COOPERATION: MOSCOW SLAMS "ANTI-RUSSIA" UKRAINE BILL.

#1  The article is somewhat misleading as far as Germany is concerned.

The letter concerning Russia was signed by leftist and center leftist older establishment types with some older establishment conservatives sprinkled in.

PEGIDA isn't about Russia or Ukraine (here's PEGIDA's platform in Google's translation)

The vast majority of the letter's signators are in all likelihood diametrically opposed to PEGIDA's agenda.

In summary:
The letter is an establishment endeavor where a sizable part of the German political class essentially argues in favor of feeding the crocodile while PEGIDA is a grassroots demonstration against islamization that is feared and hated by the establishment.
