I've just realized that germany is playing 4D chess with the rest of the world. Its the old game of conquering Europe again, they couldn't take it by force back in 1934 and now they're trying it again via inflation, a crisis limbo and shortages so hear me out.
>strategic positions
Germany has undermined the EU parliament with Von Der Leyen as president. German influence in the EU is sky high.
>Stage 1: Covid
By creating a virus, they've effectively shut down the global economy. Countries are borrowing money beyond their eyeballs to not collapse. And Isnt it weird how germans, out of everyone else, have created the most sought-after vaccine? really makes you think. The plan was to weaken other countries.
>Stage 2: War
Germans must've planned everything since the beginning of the ukraine-conflict back in 2014. So due to covid there are now multiple countries with a fucked economy and because of shortages and supply line issues a fucked industry. And what is it that autocrat politicians do when they know a civil war can break their control? exactly, war! The Plan was to turn the EUs biggest Energy supplier (Russia) against them and create an energy crisis.
>Stage 3: Energy crisis
Because Russia wont deliver gas to the EU anymore, there is a wave of insolvency cases coming up. So what did the german govt do? they bought germanys biggest insolvent energy supplier Uniper. This is where it gets spicey. Uniper has multiple gas-, coal-, and nuclear power plants in multiple European countries theat NOW belong to the german government, including a coal power plant that powers moscow. And german politicians are already talking about deactivating everything to push green energy. Germans now have multiple EU countries grabbed by their balls because they now control their energy supply, which will turn these countries into vassal states. They can now shut down another countrys industry with the flip of a switch.
TL;DR
Long DAX and green energy, short every other EU country
