Germany's historical pattern shows it repeatedly faces the problem of having industry and population but lacking inputs and markets, and this is a new problem for Germany across history that required military conquest until NATO and the EU provided alternatives under U.S. protection.

Peter ZeihanEvidence Quote
“This is not a new problem for the Germans. We've seen this multiple times throughout their history that they have the industry and they've got the population, they've got the skills, but they don't have the inputs in the markets and under NATO and the EU, the Germans haven't had to go all Highlander on everybody in order to get that.”
