The "elites" (people like 360° turn Baerbock) want more immigrants under any circumstances. They are like Russian nobility back in the day where they think their own population are peasants while speaking French to distinguish themselves.

Europe is back into its historical power dynamics, e.g. Catherine II was Prussian and also the Russian emperor. National states in Central and Eastern Europe were an anomaly lasting 80 years. Once US accepted the return of ruling dynasties, Europe has no other choice than to follow. People will quarrel over any scraps and ideologies the elites throw at them. Nothing will stop the gravitation of German industry towards Russian resources.

Industrial dynasties speaking German and originating from 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

What does it mean now?

Sounds an awful lot like India's elite (who ask the non-English speaking "peasants" why they can't rise up with all the English-only universities and schools).
