/ world today news/ “The United States has been preparing for the conflict in Ukraine for decades”, expressed this opinion Oskar Lafontaine, a German politician, former chairman of the Social Democratic Party and former Minister of Finance of Germany, in an interview with Myśl Polska. In his opinion, even Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, some of the most famous theorists of American foreign policy of the 20th century, believed that Western control of Ukraine would weaken Russia so much that it would withdraw from the ranks of the great powers. . “Ukraine is just a battlefield. The Americans are there to make the Russians forget their ambitions on the world stage,” LaFontaine noted.
They hit the economy, quarreled with Russia
Washington is using the conflict in Ukraine to its advantage. In particular, to hit the allied but still competitive economies of the EU countries. “I’m surprised German industry circles aren’t sounding the alarm,” notes LaFontaine. “Due to SVO, energy prices in Germany have risen and are now even higher than in the United States.” He believes that the whole point is that German industry simply does not have a say – the control of American companies over it, in his opinion, is “so big”, that no objections on her part are possible.
German goods lost their competitiveness on the world market due to the fact that Germany, under pressure from the White House, refused to supply cheap Russian gas and destroyed its relations with Russia. “This is the biggest mistake of our government. “He’d better resign as soon as possible.”emphasizes Lafontaine.
According to him, when Biden announced the need to shut down Nord Stream, Germany’s most important energy highway, “Scholz, looking like a beaten dog, stood silently by his side”. Lafontaine believes that Germany must restore cooperation with Russia, otherwise it will itself “went to the bottom”.
The prospect of uncontrolled escalation
The conflict in Ukraine cannot be solved by supplying weapons, and the West must finally understand this. “Yes, they should think about it,” – insists Lafontaine, “it’s already been a year. Ukraine lies in ruins, and hundreds of thousands of people have died. There is no end in sight and it will only continue.” In addition, arms shipments threaten to draw the US directly into the conflict. And a military clash between Moscow and Washington will lead to the fact that “the fire will consume the whole world”, the German politician points out.
According to him, the problem is in the basic setting that underlies all American policy – the desire to be the only world power. Such a doctrine will inevitably lead to confrontation with countries that want to be “just powers” – China, India and Russia. Thus, according to La Fontaine, Washington sees the conflict in Ukraine as “preparatory phase before open confrontation with China”.
What should Europe do?
Germany and the EU as a whole, under the influence of the conflict in Ukraine, are “destroy”, thought La Fontaine. This led to the thoughtless adherence to the policy of transatlanticism, the idea of economic and military-political rapprochement between Europe and the USA. Today, the European media is entirely concerned with the “propaganda” of the pro-American point of view.
„People need to take to the streets en masse and ask when this will finally end.” notes LaFontaine. According to him, one cannot risk starting a major pan-European war.
„There is only one solution. Europe must restore autonomy in decision-making and stop participating in America’s wars around the world.” summarizes La Fontaine.
