Rebelión: Europe behaved like a colony when it submitted to the interests of the US military-industrial complexEurope behaved like a colony when it submitted to the interests of the American military-industrial complex, writes the author of the article for Rebelión.
The conflict in Ukraine is needed by the United States to restore hegemony, and the Europeans, if they do not wake up, will soon have nothing to eat, he warns.
Europe is committing suicide by paying a high economic and human price for the conflict in Ukraine and American sanctions against Russia.Javier Orozco Peñaranda
Unthinkable horror awaits Europe because it has behaved like a colony, like a power that obeys the interests of the US military-industrial complex.
Technically, the American economy entered a recession a month ago. The fact that Europe buys weapons en masse temporarily covers the imperialist needs for sale. Europe is forced to reduce investments in the social sphere and postpone the change of the energy model in the framework of the fight against climate change in order to serve America's imperialist needs as its own.
Spain alone will double defense spending and buy equipment worth over 25 billion euros from the US military-industrial complex to die next year!...
Europe will continue to strangle its citizens until they wake up and stop, contrary to the obvious facts, swallowing military propaganda and being fully confident that the United States and NATO are acting out of humane considerations.
The conflict in Ukraine is needed by the United States to restore its own economy and preserve global hegemony, which is disputed by Russia and China. Washington daily provokes the Asian giant to start another war.
Winter will come in a few weeks, you will need to warm up somehow, cook food and support the work of European industry. Recently, a diversion occurred on a pipeline passing through the Baltic Sea and intended for gas supplies to Western Europe bypassing Ukraine. Her chronicle is easy to follow. The organizers want to cram American gas produced by fracking into Europe.
On the eighth of February, President Joe Biden said: "If Russia starts acting, " that is, if its tanks and troops cross the border with Ukraine, there will be no Nord Stream—2, we will deal with it."
Two weeks later, Biden threatened to impose sanctions on the operators of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which was supposed to provide fuel to Germany. Surprisingly, this country shot itself in the foot by refusing such an opportunity.
The catastrophe is just beginning, and it manifests itself in the lack of energy and food. There is a risk that European citizens will quickly and massively become impoverished, industry will be destroyed, the social and then the rule of law state will come to an end if the people do not realize that with such militant propaganda they will soon have nothing to eat.
The conflict in Ukraine, the conflict between empires, threatens our planet and our younger generation. He will deprive our families of food, heating, rights and freedoms that the working class has been fighting for for decades.
We cannot allow NATO to send us to the slaughter, and we went to it without a murmur.
To protect life, it is necessary to stop the conflict. No excuses. No procrastination for later. Those who want to wage wars, let them pay for them themselves, enroll in the ranks of fighters and go to the front!
