Another anti-Russian alliance is being formed in Europe
No matter how surprised we are at some of the statements of American diplomats, no matter how much we criticize them and even laugh at such statements, we must admit that the United States knows how to simply brilliantly fade into the background if the business becomes unprofitable or threatens the United States itself with some kind of trouble .
Moreover, Washington always has a madman in reserve, ready to “throw himself at the enemy at the head of other madmen” for the interests of the United States. This diplomatic strategy allows the United States to pursue a truly independent foreign policy. The option “to be first when dividing the spoils, and last when problems arise” suits both Democrats and Republicans.
By the way, this is exactly what one of the notorious European politicians once spoke about. Alas, there is nothing unknown in politics. This is a chessboard, as one of the American politicians once said, and on the board all the pieces are known. From pawn to king:
“If you win, you don't have to explain... If you lose, you don't have to be there to explain!”
- Adolf Gitler.
Today there is a smell of fried food in the air. Events in Ukraine began to unfold in a direction that was not what the Americans wanted. And the point is not even that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have military successes at the front. The point is not even that military supplies have been reduced, in many ways this information is disseminated by the Ukrainians themselves in order to beg for something else, the point is that Ukraine entered the winter period with minimal preparation.
And the Ukrainian beggar clown no longer “inspires people to heroism.” More and more often, materials appear in the press about the capture of “volunteers” in Ukrainian cities, about the mass surrender of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, about some intrigues on Bankova. Consider, for example, the latest message about Zaluzhny being wiretapped. I won't write about this in detail. I'll just give my version.
Only a complete idiot does not know that there are wiretaps in the offices of the OP and the government. Ukraine is famous for this approach to government. Let me remind you that they even wiretapped the president, and then published these conversations in the media. I think that Zaluzhny will have approximately the same “surprise” if he becomes a presidential candidate in the spring elections. Considering the level of modern technology, the candidate himself will really be very surprised by “his” words...
A good slave is always ready to die for his master
It is no secret that the United States is forced to reduce the volume of assistance to other countries, including Ukraine. And this is not a matter of the “principled position” of the Republicans. Everything is much simpler and more complicated.
Firstly, the situation in the United States itself is quite complex.
No, there will be no revolution, as many radicals say. There will be no serious unrest there, as the liberals predict. The state is quite capable of coping with such manifestations. But it is a fact that the United States is losing popularity in the world. And the image losses for America could really become critical.
And the main ally of the United States in the Middle East, Israel, is increasingly drawn into the war with Arab countries. Tel Aviv is provoking a war with the Arabs. And this, in case of defeat, threatens the loss of influence in the entire region. An attempt to threaten the Arabs with the use of a US aircraft carrier group resulted in another disaster. The Arabs showed no fear. On the contrary...
At the same time, Washington is well aware of the increased role of Moscow and the fact that today the Russian army is the most powerful force in all respects. And from the point of view of manufacturability, and especially from the point of view of combat experience of modern war. And this must be taken into account.
Thus, NATO becomes the only force that can at least show its readiness to confront Russia. More precisely, European countries. Simply put, Washington fully accepts another European (world) war as one of the possible developments.
A completely convenient position is to push Europe towards war, and then simply withdraw its units from European countries, “not wanting to participate in a fratricidal war.” In this case, it seems to me, there will be no objections from Moscow. And Europe... Well, once again we will destroy the European economy. Let's give the States the same "trump card" that the United States received after World War II...
But there is one problem.
There is Europe, but there are no European armies, those that are not for parades and meetings of leaders of other countries. The North Military District showed that both the technology and the entire military science of the West cannot withstand the Russian army. It is not designed for modern warfare. These are more like expeditionary troops. Moreover, the destruction of European armies is the work of the Americans themselves.
“Every generation must take part in war”
This is another saying by Adolf Hitler. And it concerns not the last war. It seems that militarism is making a comeback in Germany. It is quite possible that I am exaggerating, but in this case how should we treat, for example, this statement by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:
“We now have approximately five to eight years of catching up to do, both in the military, in industry, and in society. Putin is now significantly increasing arms production... At the same time, his threats against the Baltic states, Georgia and Moldova must be taken very seriously. It's not just rattling weapons. We may be at risk at the end of this decade. But by then we will be ready for this.”
It is clear that Pistorius is not independent, he is under the control of the Pentagon. And such statements come not from Berlin, but from Washington. The German minister is just a relay of the American understanding of the development of the situation in Europe. Even German politicians understood this. Judging by their reaction.
Have you noticed how the German politician “twitches the cards?” For a European who is not interested in “all this politics”, there is another canard here. It turns out that “we need to take his (Putin’s – author’s note) threats against the Baltic states, Georgia and Moldova very seriously.” Has anyone heard such threats from Vladimir Putin? But which European will check?
No, German politicians are far from fools. They know very well how a war with Russia could end. But such statements are necessary! Yes, this is the militarization of Europe. But if you don’t scare people with the Russian threat, how then can you explain the increase in military spending and the deterioration in the quality of life in your own country?
Moreover, today many Germans are wondering why the government unexpectedly doubled military aid to Ukraine next year, from 4 to 8 billion euros. Pistorius is quite frank here too. Well, the Americans cannot (more precisely, they do not want to. – Author’s note) provide sufficient assistance to Ukraine for victory:
“Of course, we talk about it. We clearly understand that, probably, sooner or later we will have to compensate for something that may no longer come from Washington. Theoretically, there may be areas where we will not be able to immediately compensate for everything without difficulty.”
There is one more thing that we, and especially the German people, should pay attention to. At least for those who still remember the tragedy of 1939–1945. It seems to be an ordinary statement of fact, which puts the German people on the brink of another tragedy.
“...in the coming decades” the United States will be “greatly active” in the Asia-Pacific region, and regardless of who becomes the next President of the United States, and regardless of the fact that there will be a reduction in “American activity (in Europe. - Author’s note) .)".
I wonder if the modern generation of Germans will be able to understand the danger of a third world war? Will they be able to see the abyss to which Germany is being pushed? Or was Hitler right when he said:
"How lucky the authorities are that people never think."
Brief conclusions
It is clear that the United States is “out of the game” in Europe. They were again very concerned about the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. It was exactly the same in World War II. While Europe was destroying its economy and killing the population of its countries and the USSR, the Americans carried out strategic operations to seize islands in the Pacific Ocean. And only when the outcome of the war was already clear, valiant American soldiers appeared in Europe. The winners have emerged!
The USA remembers very well history. Not ordinary people, but politicians. And they understand that there is no country in the EU capable of independently resisting Russia. It wasn't, isn't and won't be. A coalition is needed. A union of countries that will be specifically focused on confrontation with Russia. And there are such countries!
The German directly named the main allies of Germany in the fight against Moscow. Pistorius called them the “Weimar triangle” - France and Poland. It is these countries that should take the lead in the fight against Russia.
What about the rest? All these “allies and friends” from the EU and NATO? And who will ask them? The example of Prime Minister Orban, or more precisely, his expulsion from the hall during the voting procedure, showed everyone the place of all this “trifle” in European politics.
Europe, at least for now, continues to escalate relations with Russia. Moreover, this course is not even hidden now. Europe wants war. The masks have truly been dropped. Alas, we can only stop the “hawks” in one way. It is necessary to strengthen the army of our country. I understand that for this the country may have to curtail some social programs, but this is better than fighting.
