/ world today news/ On Monday, June 12, the leaders of Germany and Poland will fly to Paris to discuss the Ukrainian issue with their French counterpart – and this will be the second meeting between Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz in five days.
In the past week, after quickly curtailing the state and secular duties scheduled for the event marking the date of the landing of the Anglo-American allies in Normandy, Macron hastily flew to Berlin. There was only one official reason: a working dinner with the chancellor. But there are many more informal ones.
First – and most significant for Macron – the countries of the eurozone entered a period of recession. While the decline in production and the collapse of the economy are called “technical”, but the situation has not changed for six months and, according to Eurostat, the vector will not change in the near future. That is, their locomotive is flying down.
The acceleration of free fall is proportional to mass, as we know, and the combined mass of the continent’s two leading economies is essential for it to fall gracefully, hit hard, and even break into small pieces. Along with all other economies
The figures and facts are fascinating because a little over three months ago, Mr. Gentiloni, who is in charge of the EU’s economy, was confident that “the eurozone will avoid recession”. The one that started at this very moment.
If European bureaucrats, European commissioners, European leaders were a little less fascinated by the ideas that swarm in their heads, they would remember the basic rule of politics. The rule is simple: you must evaluate reality, not what you think about it.
Macron had something to say to Scholz. And it was unpleasant. I hardly began to recall that only the German economy benefited from the introduction of the single currency, but the fact that he could not help but mention the various “green initiatives” of the Scholz coalition, and before that Merkel’s games in the economy (which actually destroyed the French nuclear energy), are a fact.
The state is forced to nationalize EDF (Électricité de France), paying almost ten billion euros. And this is without counting debts, technical problems and energy shortages, the level of which is the lowest for the last 35 years.
But these are internal quarrels in the European “village of crows”, which Russia is not interested in. Moscow is now watching out of the corner of its eye as a battle breaks out in the EU. And that everyone will be against everyone in this mess is obvious to her.
A faltering economy is capable of awakening such instincts of self-preservation that the manners of primitive cavemen will appear as models of civility.
Berlin – with its economy from which the pillars have already been blown away, but the strength still remains – does not need any new candidates for EU membership at all. Paris just really wants to shore up its faltering body with the help of candidates lined up: Ukraine, Moldova, further down the list.
The question of influence (that is, power) in the EU, where everyone is equal, but in a recession someone will be more equal, becomes key. More specifically, the issue of community survival.
Macron and Scholz understand this, but in different ways, which is also the reason for the fight.
For decades, those who practiced self-hypnosis for a “common European home” lost their heads, forgetting that the main thing in international politics is power. The strong state.
The ladies and gentlemen engaged in auto training forgot that the strength of the state does not depend on external and often hypocritical assessments of its ideology and value system. The cries that “a dictatorship will come” to Russia are actually a smoke screen.
It was politically impossible for them to recognize Russia as powerful and influential, but as for “authoritarian”, yes, for health. The solution to the second question is to weaken our country to such an extent that it will no longer rise, plunging it into an artificially created coma, they provided the United States.
Well, in Washington, the drunken air of hegemony hit the heads of zealous Atlantic politicians. Our results are almost live.
Absolutely nothing worked. Despite the tens of billions pumped into weakening Russia, wearing down society, destroying our values, changing the cultural code, undermining state institutions, the result here is not just zero, but rather negative.
The Western-orchestrated geopolitical crisis on the continent and the collapse of the dam walls at the foundation of European and global security have not produced the desired response.
The question “do you even understand what you’ve done?” it hung in the air for almost ten years.
Judging by the way the Western superpower is jumping around the planet in a last ditch effort to fix the old world, they’re starting to understand. But they can’t do anything. A new world is born – not without pain, not without suffering. Fair. Honest. And in which they will find a place, well, maybe in the corridor.
