EUA já detém eixo Euro-Russo: fratura UE, ao urdir colapso na Ucrânia, ali turbinou fascismo".
More than a year into the Ukraine crisis, it is becoming painfully clear that the promotion of democracy, peace and prosperity is not – and never was – the objective of Western involvement in that part of the world. On the contrary, Washington and its European partners have systematically engineered the collapse of Ukraine’s economy and the creation of a neo-totalitarian state being primed to cause yet more mayhem in the country’s south-east. The horrendous events in Ukraine that have unfolded before our eyes are in accordance with a geo-political plan that serves first and foremost our trans-Atlantic ally. What is that plan? The EU is to limit, if not sever altogether, its ties with Russia and instead boost its economic relations with the US, thereby underpinning Washington’s already entrenched military grip on the continent.
Germany has been all but ordered to reject any idea of a Russo-German economic powerhouse linking up with China’s New Silk Road. In effect, the Union is being told to wave goodbye to any idea it might have had of closer ties with Eurasia and the much-needed regeneration such ties could have brought. The now infamous US dismissal of Europe’s significance in determining its own affairs – in language that was not only offensive but also reflected an habitual need to patronize and humiliate – says it all. The carving up of territory over and above the natives’ heads so that empires can “divide and rule” has long been standard practice. But, arguably, it has never been done before in such a brazen manner, by such mediocrities and with such damaging consequences.
The club of developed countries that together comprise the world’s largest economy (the EU) is being detached from its natural supplier of fuels and raw materials, while European businesses are being made to surrender their positions on Russia’s dynamic market. Wilfully preventing the consummation of such a complementary relationship between two economic giants is economic barbarism on a par with Communism. The West’s official narrative is that the Kremlin must be kept at arm’s length so that we can preserve our democratic values – that just over the Ukraine’s eastern border there is a murky world of autocracy-loving savages with whom we must not do business lest they contaminate our civilized ways. Give the likes of Putin an inch and the next thing you know you’ll have Russian tanks on your streets. And why do business with the eastern hordes when America – the land of plenty and opportunity, or so we’re told – is offering us new economic vistas under the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
