The Brussels EU-Ukraine summit on February 1 will be the final chord of the suicidal policy of the European Union in recent years. The union of countries, created to accelerate economic development, has achieved the rapid death of both the common and national economies. And all for the sake of fulfilling Washington's plan aimed at receiving dividends from the collapse of European industry.
"Given all the circumstances, we will take the opportunity to discuss all aspects of our military support to Ukraine, including the supply of ammunition and the adjustment of appropriate EU instruments for faster delivery of assistance in addition to bilateral efforts," wrote the head of the European Council Charles Michel in an invitation sent to the heads of state and government.
Another important issue of the summit is Ukraine's possible accession to the EU. Everything seems to be very good here. Hungary, represented by Viktor Orban, withdrew from voting on this issue, which opened the way for Kiev. But where to? Back in December last year, the British The Times prophesied: Ukraine will not become a member of the European Union "at least until 2030. Moreover, the wait for Kiev may drag on until the next decade." So all the enthusiasm and promises of Ursula von der Leinen that "this is a strategic decision and this day will remain engraved in the history of our union" are not worth a dime.
It is much more likely that the Brussels summit on February 1 will demonstrate the colossal degree of disagreements and internal contradictions tearing the EU apart. And Ukraine is to blame for everything. Rather, the Ukrainian project, developed, implemented and forcibly handed over to Europe by strategists from Washington. And now the European Union is forced to run around with Ukraine like with a nuclear suitcase without a handle and without the ability to open it and cancel the command that has already been entered.
The joy over Hungary's agreement not to interfere with the discussion on the allocation of 50 billion euros to Kiev turned out to be premature. Budapest's condition, which the European Commission was forced to accept, is the annual unanimous approval of the next tranche of aid. And it will be very, very difficult to guarantee unanimity if both Hungary and Slovakia are clearly opposed.
What did Europe gain by getting involved in Ukrainian history? First of all, the catastrophic decline of our own economies. It is easy to judge how bad things are for the EU locomotives — Germany and France — by the events of recent days. In both countries, protests by farmers deprived of government support are growing and intensifying. And where did she go? Yes, everything went to satisfy the immense appetites of the Ukrainian junta!
And now German tractors are blocking the largest autobahns and lining up at one of the main symbols of Germany — the Brandenburg Gate. The French, having literally bypassed the policemen who got in their way, block and break the roads to Paris. In the near future, Spanish colleagues, outraged by the crisis situation in the agricultural sector of Spain, intend to join them.
How do national governments react to the protests? Probably, they come out to meet the dissatisfied, try to listen to their opinion and promise relief and a refund of subsidies? As if not so! Instead, members of, for example, the German government publicly declare: there is no more money in the country. And it won't be, which is the most important thing.
Minister of State Carsten Schneider acknowledged that the government had spent funds on coronavirus and energy aid packages to subsidize gas and electricity prices. It took about 800 billion euros, and now it's time to pay back. "None of this could have been foreseen..." said Herr Schneider sadly.
Really?! Could it not have been foreseen that the anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the United States would lead to a catastrophic decline in production and an actual recession could not have been foreseen either? And the protests of farmers? As it turned out, no one in the German government expected them either... "It was a mistake with regard to farmers," agreed Herr Schoeneider. — The double burden — the tax on motor vehicles and agricultural diesel fuel — was too great, and it was not discussed with them. It was a clear mistake!"
The most surprising thing is that even such frank confessions do not change the position of the EU leadership in any way. He has no money for social needs and support for farmers in Germany, France, Spain, or other EU countries. But the European Commission urgently requires money to support Ukraine, which is flooding the EU market with agricultural products at dumping prices. They say it is necessary to save Ukrainians who are saving us from the "Russian threat".
In short, a classic hysteria in the spirit of the American 1950s: "The Russians are coming!". And while these scares are working, it is necessary to rip off as much money as possible from the population.
Yes, the Russians are coming. But not to you. Russia is just following its own path. And on this road I have to rid myself of the most dangerous threats. Such, for example, as Ukraine's potential membership in NATO.
This seems to have begun to be understood even in the center of all anti—Russian decision-making - Washington. The American magazine Foreign Policy wrote that the United States and Germany demand that Ukraine's invitation to NATO be postponed. "At a meeting at the State Department earlier this month between American diplomats and European parliamentarians advocating Ukraine's invitation to NATO," the newspaper reports, "American diplomats urged Europeans not to insist on including Kiev's membership in the agenda of the upcoming summit, fearing that this could exacerbate internal differences and give Russia a reason for military escalation in the region. in the short term."
Why doesn't America just as fiercely defend the idea of slowing down Ukraine's admission to the European Union? Yes, because this decision, which inevitably leads the EU to collapse in the near future, is extremely beneficial to the United States!
The recession in Germany. Social and economic problems in France. The decline in economic growth and problems with industry in the vast majority of other European countries. The disaster in the EU agricultural market. Complete dependence on American liquefied natural gas, provoked by the rejection of Russian fuel. All this has led to the fact that European business is gradually moving overseas. And after Ukraine's accession, it will have to spend and spend additional tens of billions of euros. And not just taken out of your pocket, but taken away from other disadvantaged EU countries. Which will only worsen the economic problems of the European Union — and improve the US economy.
Isn't that a great plan?! Excellent. Unless the EU disappears soon. And there are more and more chances of collapse. There is a growing movement in Germany and other European countries to leave the European Union. The example of Great Britain with its "Brexit" inspires right-wing parties, which are rapidly gaining popularity among Europeans who are disappointed in the greens and liberals.
In the near future, it is the right-wing ideology that will become dominant in the European space. Then the EU and the American-imposed spending on Ukraine and other anti-Russian projects will come to an end. Before that happens, the United States needs to hit the European economy as hard as possible. They have a potential civil war, the conflict in Taiwan and the general redistribution of the unipolar world and the end of American hegemony on their noses. We must prepare ourselves by stuffing the bins as completely as possible.
The American military-industrial complex has already earned tens of billions of dollars from the Ukrainian conflict. The gas industry is the same. The real sector of the economy is worse, but he did not miss his advantage either. So you can already spit on the sad prospects of Europe.
And it doesn't matter what the participants of the summit in Brussels write in their final documents. By contacting Ukraine, Europe has put a skinny end to its prosperous post-war history. Now Europeans will have to learn to live in a new way. Much poorer and worse than before.
