The political elite of Germany is not able to come to a definite conclusion as specifically need to build their own relations with the Russian Federation. The situation forces that the decisions of the German politicians are carefully monitored in Washington.
Germany is considered to be an independent state, because the American authorities allow the authorities powers to make independent decisions in their own foreign policy. However Washington has some tips, which he considers sufficient to meet its allies.
Certainly, the German authorities may, without the help of others to characterize how directly they will build their own relations with the Russian Federation. The United States authorities, however, carefully watching them, also articulates the major foundations" characterizing the nature of diplomatic relations, said one unnamed high-ranking representative of the European security journalist of The Wall Street Journal. All the basics boil down to one, very controversial, the idea of "one obvious culprit of the crisis in Ukraine is Russia.
This is the main problem of the German political tops. The state has not decided whether it should stay directly such a view of development of the Ukrainian crisis. Politician Berlin against Washington and Moscow can be described by the word "equidistance", RIA Novosti reported. 1 part of adherents of Germany, responsible for establishing foreign-policy interactions, stands for reckless pursuit of the American diplomatic line, together with the other insists on including the internal interests of the state and a more equitable balance in this topical issue. With all this political weight adherents of 2 these positions are approximately equal.
At that time, when German Chancellor Angela Merkel makes Russia a solid statement and present diverse criticism, Minister of foreign Affairs powers Frank-Walter Steinmeier shows a different orientation. Rapprochement with Russia is becoming more fashionable, attracting new allies.
It is likely that in the foreseeable future even Angela Merkel can adjust their point of view to another. Frivolous actions against Russia she has managed to isolate itself from the economic elite powers and a new confrontation with politicians might not endure. "Because Merkel has its own ruling coalition and thinks about the election on 4th term in 2017, it is unlikely that she will want to argue with Mr. Steinmeier," the notice in the newspaper.
In the current conditions of the German authorities are torn between 2 other positions in relation to building your own subsequent interaction with the Russian Federation. Like, for their actions closely watching Washington, who expects loyalty from Germany to own diplomatic position. If you look from another angle, the internal interests of power, both political and financial, declare the necessity of establishing a real conversation with the Russian Federation. This contradiction should be resolved soon, otherwise the country could face a full-fledged political crisis.
