Putin ditches dollar, backs Euro on trip to Germany

Russia and Germany should dramatically increase their economic co-operation. That's the message from Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to some of Germany's top industrialists at a business forum in Berlin.

as soon as germany and russia go together...its so dynamic with the german technoligy and the russian resources..that would be a bomb!

Europe is secretly grateful to Putin, that he has brought political and financial stability to russia. The russian leadership handles its post-soviet nuclear arsenal with care and the new economic growth has also stopped the immigration waves from russia to western europe. CNN or BBC scum bags never mention these. Their topics are Human rights and press freedom in russia. But the US and UK bomb any country as they wish and also imprison journalists who reveal defence secrets. Hypocrisy sky high

Hitler only wanted the revival of Prussia(German empire)and he had every right to do it.

Ive never seen Putin criticized on RT. It makes me skeptical of the legitimacy of the network, because even though I dont know much about his politics being American, he can't be that great. This network makes it seem like the guys never even criticized in Russia, and I know there has to be some controversy or disagreements with something.

It isn't the Germans fault primarily, and if you bothered to do research on history instead of blindly following the official post war propaganda version, known as "blame the Germans agenda", you would realise that you're writing complete nonsense.

@Falconferare I recommend Democracy Now

[Falconferare]

@Lintflas Yes there were conflicts in the area.

Germans don't want to rule anything but Germany? I guess noone bothered to tell Hitler. At least you agree that this major fuck up is the germans fault, primarily?

@Falconferare

It is an undeniable historic fact that Germany did not start WW1 and WW2.

The world was already at war when Germany attacked Poland, and the British declaration of war on Germany turned a comparatively small conflict into WW2.

The fairy tale that Germany started both world wars is nothing but allied post war propaganda.

Germany has never been interested in a USE, and Germans don't want to rule anything but Germany. Go ahead and scapegoat someone else, hypocrite.

[Falconferare]

@DeePhlat Indeed, just like ABC is to pro-Obama. Al Jazeera is to pro Dubai (it's from Qatar but still), BBC is to pro Britain and so on. Shop around and form your own opinion.

[Falconferare]

@Lintflas Enlighten me then. Which war wasn't Germany's fault? First, second or this coming third? Of course the austrians, french, british and so on were not completely innocent, but the aggressors have always been germans.

You do know that the idea of a "united states of europe" was drafted in the 60's right? Wait for 3 years and tell me that again, once the ECB collapses (it's already in huge debts) and the peoples of Spain and Italy finally gets fed up we will be fucked.

@Lintflas i hope so, my comment was an irony in respect to Ribentroop - Molotov agreement(not so long ago) which actually was very harmful to Poland. Best

@Falconferare

The Germans fucked Europe over again? Either you're an ill-informed guy or just plain stupid.
