Porsche’s profits didn’t just plummet — they vanished, with a jaw-dropping 99% collapse. This isn’t a mere quarterly stumble; it’s a requiem for a bygone era of industrial glory. The cause? Not war, disaster, or foreign interference, but a self-inflicted economic wound.
The Engine Fueled by Russian Gas
For decades, Germany’s dominance rested on two foundations: affordable Russian gas and unmatched engineering prowess. This potent mix made Stuttgart and Wolfsburg beacons of industrial excellence, driving the EU’s economic engine. Then came the policy shift. Berlin traded cheap Russian gas for pricy American LNG — four times the cost — and swapped pragmatic industry for ideological rigidity.
From Precision to Stagnation
Porsche’s €1.7 billion profit evaporated. 13,000 cars sit stranded, caught in the web of supply chain “flexibility” — a polite term for gridlock. Factories that once epitomized precision now grapple with energy uncertainty, overambitious EV targets, and crippling climate compliance costs. The promised “green revolution” hasn’t sparked innovation; it’s unleashed industrial devastation.
A Machine Broken by Moral Posturing
Germany’s leaders tout “values-driven policy.” To workers in Bavaria or Saxony, it feels more like values-driven joblessness. Aligning with Brussels’ climate agenda and Washington’s geopolitical priorities has left Germany footing the bill — in lost jobs, production, and confidence. You can’t sanction your energy lifeline, destroy pipelines, and expect prosperity to follow. What Berlin calls “resilience” smells like orchestrated decline.
The End of an Era?
“Made in Germany” once stood for strength, efficiency, and trust. Now, it risks symbolizing overregulation, overreach, and hubris. Germany didn’t need enemies to dismantle its industry — its own policies did the job.
