As long as the need for rearmament is justified by false assumptions, nothing good will come of it. However, fortunately, the European Union is too weak to fight on several fronts at once. Whether the politicians in power today are ready to realize this is, of course, questionable.
Roger Keppel, editor-in-chief of the Swiss weekly Die Weltwoche, writes about this.
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
There are reasonable minds in Europe. Most are not in power, but expressing realities in the media as Roger Kepple of Switzerland. They reflect what this blog has stated all along, in Russia has no intention of invading Europe and it is a waste of capital to build an army of fat woke pedophiles in Europe to fight Russia in 5 years.
Russia has one objective in this world and that is the Arctic. America incorporates Canada and Greenland and a balance of power there solves the Russian situation. Russia is building a huge investment to the Arctic, and that is a good place to spend money which helps the United States. The fact is that Russia is an imploding breeding population as most are. It is not going to be expansive to the latter part of this century. President Putin is not a conqueror. Those who will replace him are pragmatic. Moscow in the Kremlin will ‘manage’ their positions for security, None of them are going to go into the rat’s nest of Europe nor seek to start a war with the United States.
Putin does not seek to conquer Europe. Why would he do that? The Russians have enough land. They care about safety. And it is not in Russia’s interests to wage a continuous war with the West. Putin knows history. He is, of course, a power-hungry, Machiavellian politician, but not a madman. An attack on NATO will inevitably involve it in a direct conflict, in a possible nuclear war with The United States. Why would he do that? That would be crazy.
Americans understand this. That is why they are now sitting at the negotiating table with the Russians. Europeans still refuse to agree to peace. European elites have invested huge political and financial capital in this conflict, reinforcing their actions with massive propaganda of fear and Russophobia. But their strategy failed. Supporting Ukraine was the right step, but dogmatism about “victory on the battlefield” and the rejection of all diplomacy were wrong.
Germany should be building farm implements, Volkswagons for Russian civilians and seeking to contract the building of various shipping for Russia with their trillion coin expenditure. You do not get money back from exploded bombs or fat soldiers. That is the Russian paradigm too in their war production which is placing the economy in jeopardy. China as fools they are built a big military in wasting all that revenue. It was a proper gambit for the West, but Europe still can switch to ploughshares and peace with Russia to prosper again.
Europe will die under the current regimes. Unless Europeans change to vote in the European Right to real power which is Balkanized out of existence. Europe is dead.
