It all comes down to whether the EU decides to destroy its economy by doing what we Americans call âsuicide by cop.â Thatâs where someone wants to die and picks a fight with a policeman in order to get the cop to shoot him. Europe is staring at a complete collapse of its economy if they sanction Russiaâs energy sector and shut down her ability to do business with their banks. The question no one is asking is, âDid they provoke this fight on purpose to do exactly this?â From where Iâm sitting, it looks to me like their insistence on zero diplomatic concessions to Russia led directly to this outcome. So, the answer to my question is âYes, it was deliberate.â But, even if Iâm wrong and there are other unstated reasons why Russia blitzed Ukraineâs military installations off the map last night, the fallout from this will be far higher energy prices than the weak coalition governments will be able to sustain. I expect the map of Europe will look very different by the end of 2024 than it does today, reaching far beyond Ukraine.
Troppe reazioni scomposte da parte della UE ed occidentali. Chiaro che la posta in gioco è la fine della NATO. Putin passerà alla storia come un grande eroe.
