Germans opposed to Donald Trump, but not too optimistic about Hillary Clinton
A poll found that the overwhelming majority of Germans do not support the idea of a Donald Trump presidency:
November 7, 2016
There is no doubt Germans feel uneasy about Donald Trump, to say the least. In a poll conducted in July, only 6.3 percent of all Germans said they liked the idea of a Trump presidency. Many say they are shocked by Trump’s remarks about immigrants, women and his determination to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
In an email to The Post, historian Weber emphasized that Germans widely perceived Trump as unelectable. “The near consensus indeed is that Trump is a minority-hating lout, who threatens to imprison his opponents, has disdain for democracy, and claims that he alone can fix everything.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/07/what-germans-really-think-about-those-hitler-trump-comparisons/
But does that mean that they think Hillary Clinton is good for the USA?
No.
Deutsche Welle reported the following:
There will only be losers when the US elections are over. And the political establishment is to blame, Ines Pohl writes from the US.
7 November 2016
What is wrong with the Americans? How could they possibly consider electing a man with absolutely no political experience to what is still the most powerful political office in the world? …
In the end it is still likely that Hillary Clinton will win the election. Her lead may be melting, but thanks to the peculiarities of the US election system, she still has an important advantage in terms of guaranteed votes from the Electoral College.
Yet regardless of the result, it is already clear that there will be only losers when this undignified spectacle ends. …
Anyone who travels the country with an open ear can listen to large numbers of Trump supporters with real justifications for their vote. Those who venture outside America’s big cities soon experience first hand the misery of this land of opportunity. One meets people living in run-down neighborhoods. Old and sickly people who don’t know how they will make it through the day. Children that are born into hopelessness and who will never have a chance in this utterly brutal two-tier system.
As if that were not enough, the publication of hacked emails over the last few weeks has only confirmed what Trump has so successfully instrumentalized in positioning himself as an outsider. These emails illustrate just how corrupt the Democratic party is, clearly showing how close its ties with the Clinton family are – and how both used their power to torpedo a candidate who actually stood for real democratic change. http://www.dw.com/en/opinion-clinton-or-trump-an-election-without-winners/a-36276804
Recently, a couple of readers sent me a link to the following:
German Think Tank Demands Greater Foreign Policy Independence from the US
November 4, 2016
Just days before the US presidential election, the German government-aligned think tank German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) published a paper entitled “Even without Trump much will change.” It calls for a more aggressive German and European foreign policy, which, “regardless of the election result,” is prepared to impose its economic and geopolitical interests with greater independence from, and if necessary against Washington. …
Trump’s rise to prominence has provoked considerable trepidation within broad sections of the ruling elite in Germany and internationally.
“With Trump as president […] there would be a high degree of uncertainty about US foreign policy,” the paper stated. Germany could “certainly not rely on Trump’s unpredictability or extreme positions being ‘discarded,’ either through advisory staff, the cabinet, the military or Congress.”
But even with an election victory for Democrat Hillary Clinton, “corresponding strategic considerations [would be] necessary,” and Germany would “do well not to take the easy way out of wait and see.” Instead, Berlin should, “regardless of the election result, consider how the Transatlantic relationship and the future world order are to be organised.”
In line with the article written for Foreign Affairs in June by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (Social Democrats), the SWP paper calls into question the claim of the US to global leadership. In the section “A strategic America policy,” it states, “the balance sheet of American engagement in the world [is …] mixed at best.” Among other things, “the US policy” – such as the “invasion of Iraq in 2003” or the “ongoing Saudi Arabian intervention in Yemen” – is “simply counter-productive for a stable order.”
“If similar types of situations arise in the future,” the paper states provocatively, “it would be important for Germany (possibly with Europe) to take a clear position and adopt its own estimation at an early stage.” Even though options are limited, “Germany and Europe [should] not leave the area of planning the political order to the US alone.” …
The German ruling elite is now using the deepening international crisis in the wake of the Brexit vote and the political chaos in the US to press ahead with its great power ambitions. In a current essay entitled “Europe is the solution,” Steinmeier writes, “We must grant ourselves the concrete instruments necessary for a joint foreign [EU] policy.” This includes “practical capabilities: for joint situation analysis, financial instruments for stabilisation and crisis prevention, and ultimately joint military capacities, such as joint command structures or maritime task forces.”
These, according to Steinmeier, are “the concrete steps we now face.” Then, “the creation of a European army [should] be discussed … when we have proven that Europe can do it better than any national state alone.” http://www.globalresearch.ca/german-think-tank-demands-greater-foreign-policy-independence-from-the-us/5554821
Since the end of World War II, the old Radio Church of God, then the Worldwide Church of God, and now in the 21st century, the Continuing Church of God have said that Germany would arise and would rebuild its military.
If Donald Trump is elected, the Germans will see this as proof that they cannot rely on the USA for their defense, etc. Germany will push for a European army. Some in Europe actually want Donald Trump to win for this basic reason (see ‘Why Europe Secretly Roots For Donald Trump’?).
If Hillary Clinton is elected, the push may be a bit more subtle. Yet, make no mistake, there will be a coming European army.
Whether or not he wins tomorrow, the fact of Donald Trump’s rise will be remembered by many in Germany. Furthermore, the policies of the Obama Administration when Hillary Clinton was the USA’s chief diplomat, also is something that many in Germany will remember (see The Snowden Leaks are Leading to the Destruction of the USA).
No matter what the results are of tomorrow’s election, the Bible shows that Europe will end up with a large army:
25 “He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. (Daniel 11:25)
The “he” above is the European King of the North Beast power.
The Bible says that this Beast power will reorganize and is going to surprise the world with its military success:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4)
The world will marvel because it did not think that the European Beast, King of the North, power could possibly beat the USA militarily.
Beat the USA militarily?
Yes.
The following prophecy is one that shows the coming defeat of the USA:
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)
The “he” above is the European King of the North Beast power. The power with the strongest military fortresses in the 21st century is presently the USA. But it will be defeated by Europe (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).
The time will come when the USA is no more.
What should Christians do?
Pray (1 Timothy 2:1-3). Some might also wish to fast (cf. Isaiah 58:6).
If Donald Trump is elected, he will be apocalyptic. If Hillary Clinton is elected, she will be apocalyptic.
It is not only because of policies and character issue, but because of how far along we are in God’s 7000 year plan. The first 6000 years of God’s plan for human beings to see how most will live apart from the true God is almost over (see also Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?).
Thus, because of the international importance of the USA and various biblical prophecies, by virtue of timing, the next President of the USA will be apocalyptic. Perhaps I should add that last week the current President of the USA has stated that the ‘fate of the world’ depends on next week’s US presidential election (see Barack Obama claims ‘fate of the world’ hinges on next week’s election).
However, irrespective of the voting, unless there is national repentance in the USA, it will be done for relatively soon.
