Vladimir Putin could soon become a "new patron" of Germany instead of the USA, said the Swiss military specialist, Director of the Institute for strategic studies, W?denswil albert Stachel German edition.

In the current circumstances It seems " slightly possible ", says the specialist, but in the long term Germany or even the whole of Europe can turn to Russia." Germany may recognize Putin as a new patron instead to continue to rely on the US, " He added.

"why It's bound to seem unimaginable? In history there were moments when Russia and Germany signed the Treaty, "says Stachel, stating that the current political order of things in the world" is unlikely to stay this way forever ".

From the perspective of Stages, USA now not strong enough to "protect" Europe. In addition to "effective deterrence" Russia in the European Union, Washington currently lacks " neither funds nor sufficient support among residents."

He doesn't know exactly when it describes the script has the ability to be implemented. According to Stages, It depends on the development of events in Ukraine." This can happen in a year or in 5 years, but reflection on such information is already there, " he said.

If Germany will in reality make a turn to Russia, It will mark a "gradual expulsion of the US from continental Europe," says Stachel. In other European countries are watching to see what decisions are made in Berlin, and most Possibly, will follow the example of Germany, believes the Swiss specialist.
