Putin wants the GDR back? How to bring back the Cold War with one decision

The Western strategy assumes that the establishment of this new order must occur within the framework of the territorial boundaries created at the end of World War II, which were confirmed in 1975 through the final actions of the CSCE in Helsinki. However, there were two exceptions: Germany (unification) and Yugoslavia (dissolution of the country and war). It is no coincidence that for Putin, Russia, Germany and the Balkans are currently key points in his European destabilization policy.

Why is the Cold War happening again?

But that's not everything. The 2+4 Agreement was also intended to cover all territorial, border, and reparation issues resulting from the fall of the Third Reich and the end of World War II. It was intended to de facto replace the peace treaties that were never concluded after 1945 between the alliance of victorious states and defeated Germany. Therefore, possible condemnation from Russia will have a much more serious meaning.

This means that, from the Kremlin's point of view, we in Europe are returning to the situation that existed during the Cold War. All the agreements made between the West and Moscow post-Cold War no longer have any significance for Russia. It seems that such circumstances reflect the true intentions of the current rulers of the Kremlin.
