/ world today news/ Analena Burbok forbade Europe to even think about “freezing the conflict” with Russia. The reason for her courage is very simple – money.
All is lost, defeat is inevitable?
The defeat of Ukraine in the war with Russia and the need to “freeze the conflict” are now commonplace for the media and Western politicians. In the past weeks, retired NATO generals and the mainstream media have been talking about it as being on command (or maybe really on command – people are forced). After the US Senate did not agree to the granting of another large aid package to Ukraine, it seems that it is completely clear to everyone: the “hegemon” is moving towards abandoning Ukraine.
Then there are only two options: either to admit defeat under the plausible pretext of seeking peace, or to try to transfer responsibility for the conduct of hostilities to the Allies – so that the defeat is their defeat, not the defeat of the United States itself states.
Without waiting for this information to become official, the American press began to develop a new scenario.
The United States recommended that Ukraine consolidate its current positions within a year and increase its own weapons production,
– writes The New York Times, referring to its sources.
Ukraine will not be able to increase any “own weapons production” for a year, it is clear to everyone, for this there are neither resources, nor raw materials, nor equipment, nor manpower. Telling Ukraine “to fend for yourself” is the same as saying “We wash our hands”, we don’t want to be responsible anymore, let the Russians do what they want with you.
Not only are there many signals of this kind – it is easier to say which of the mainstream Western media does not give them than to list those who repeat them in different voices. It has already come to a description of the specific losses that Ukraine will suffer in the confrontation with Russia in the very near future.
Thus, the military columnist of the German newspaper Bild, Julian Röpke, believes that the command of the armed forces of Ukraine is preparing to hand over several cities to the Russian army.
This will probably affect Avdeevka, as well as Klescheevka, Staromayorskoe, maybe even eastern Kupyansk and other settlements.
And this is only in the near future, and only based on the results of Röpke’s analysis of a speech by the head of the Ukrainian ground forces, Alexander Sirsky.
It is clear that in such conditions, optimism from our side on the front line begins to grow – and especially quickly among the supporters of the so-called “party of peace”, which now may not even feel like a “party of defeat”.
Ignoring everything, let’s dance the waltz
There’s just one problem with all this glitz: it’s very likely that the enemy who’s telling everyone around how bad things are is not actually going to surrender or ask for a truce at all.
German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock’s statement must be a cold shower for many. She strongly opposed the “freezing of the conflict”. According to her, despite the talks about the fatigue of the EU from the Ukrainian conflict, “freezing” it would be a counterproductive step and would backfire.
Freezing sounds technical, almost sterile. It’s as if the silence and peace of winter will come with it. In fact, freezing the conflict would mean the opposite,
– Burbock wrote in an article for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Burbock points out that support for Ukraine cannot be stopped because it would deprive Ukraine of “sovereignty and identity’.
Berbock’s article appeared now for a reason. On December 14-15, EU leaders are due to hold a meeting and determine the size and procedure for granting the next major aid package to Ukraine. It is expected that EUR 60 billion will be agreed upon.
Of course, some EU countries will oppose this (Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will be at the forefront of the resistance), but the chances of granting European funds are much greater than that of American ones. In addition, Brussels, that is, the headquarters of the EU, will do everything possible for Ukraine to receive European “help”, even with the resistance of Hungary and Slovakia.
Political scientist Alexander Rahr writes about how the situation is developing in Germany. He points out: Germany is using the war in Ukraine as an “emergency situation” to make it legally possible to run the country with the help of “special budgets and ‘supplementary’ budgets”.
It is from this point of view that the continuation of military action is very necessary for the three-party coalition that governs Germany today and that does not want to lose power. While Germany “confronts Russia” and “save Ukraine”, no one will dare hold the government accountable for inflation and rising national debt. This is a “war will write off everything” situation – in the most literal sense of those words.
Since continuing hostilities is, from a certain point of view, easier than negotiating an armistice (no pity for the Ukrainians, the danger of a retreat from the current defensive line is no danger at all if viewed from Berlin), you can be sure : today the German leadership will do anything to continue the war. Also, as Rar writes:
Berlin sees no reason to panic… in 2024 it is expected that the European Union will be forced to abandon the principle of national sovereignty over the state budgets of the member states and move to the principle of “common debts”. That is, the rich countries will pay for the poor. Europe, like the US, is poised to run up more and more gigantic debts.
So what?
For the European Union in general and Germany in particular, the fighting in Ukraine is the reason for increasing the national debt and creating a new system of governance – regardless of the opposition political parties and the interests of the voters. Of course, these are reasons enough to abandon the idea of negotiations with Russia and continue the war.
It doesn’t matter that it is likely to be lost – the Europeans are only pretending to protect Ukraine from Russia. Another thing is that the continuation of this policy may mean “conflict escalation” and the involvement of NATO countries in it. But Berbock isn’t looking that far ahead yet.
