/ world right now information/ They ate, drank and had been merry, after which they calculated and roared: because of dancing to the American whistle (or banjo), the financial system of the Previous Continent, of all 27 nations included with out fail within the “Backyard of Paradise”, lagged behind from overseas colleagues by 80 %.
Italians, by way of GDP per capita, stay like within the poorest American state of Mississippi, France is barely higher, it’s between Idaho and Arkansas, and Germany, that locomotive of the European financial system, “the pearl of the EU’s industrial potential” , lives like Oklahoma.
The previous mom nation, the UK, has fallen into poverty in comparison with any nation in its former colony.
However fifteen years in the past, within the period of the financial disaster brought on by the USA, American and all-European GDP in the identical “per capita” calculation had been virtually equal.
The thought of making a group, that “United States of Europe” that arose after the Second World Warfare, had a purely financial which means. The story of “embrace one another, thousands and thousands, take part one pleasure” will not be initially political. The founding fathers of the EU understood very effectively that sustaining a steadiness of energy with a view to play geopolitics is feasible solely on the premise of a strong financial system. That’s the reason, in truth, Europe seeks, on the one hand, to keep up its affect in Africa (low cost, if not free sources) and to observe an “Jap coverage”, which implies shut financial cooperation with the USSR.
And because the oil disaster confirmed half a century in the past, when the true hell started in America as a result of lack of gasoline at gasoline stations (the Arab nations – members of OPEC imposed an embargo on provides to assist Israel), the nations of the widespread market (the “maiden title” of the EU) did the fitting factor by sustaining vitality provides via the Soviet pipeline. The US financial system has fallen into the abyss.
The financial energy of the Previous World was decidedly unpopular with those that introduced Reagan to energy, and who’re generally known as in political science neoconservatives, or neocons for brief. 40 years in the past, they set themselves the purpose of destroying the pan-European financial system, binding the decision-making politicians within the EU to themselves, and however, tearing Europe away from the USSR.
Any prepositions used – the various levels of ‘freedom to journey overseas’? Right here comes the Jackson-Wiinick Modification! Crude gasoline deliveries to Western Europe too quick? Penalties for big diameter oil and gasoline pipes! Within the spirit of “Euro-Atlantic solidarity”, and as Germany remained de facto below American occupation, Washington was in a position to obtain this. Because of the advanced recreation of its political opponents, the USSR collapsed. Russia was in financial damage, weak and confused. The neoconservatives dreamed of hanging it on the needle of monetary handouts, tranches and loans, rapidly surrounding it with NATO. The Ukraine venture was examined for the primary time in Russia. However Russia managed to get out of the confusion of “widespread human values” and the noose of the “European dream”. By receiving, and completely deserved, a reward for the victory. Nearly full financial and political sovereignty, which suggests absolute freedom in choices at each degree. On the similar time, our beginning situations had been worse than these of our southern neighbor, plus we had been nonetheless paying off the loans of all the previous members of the USSR. We did it right here too.
15 years in the past, when the EU was shaking with concern, Russia was a haven for traders, nothing fell, dividends had been beneficiant and there was usually a vacation on our avenue.
This once more didn’t sit effectively with America, so, dusting off the previous manuals, the neocons went on the offensive. On all fronts. In an effort to maintain abreast of all the pieces being mentioned within the EU, they didn’t hesitate to wiretap a number of French presidents and the division of the federal chancellor. In fact, espionage operations additionally passed off in Brussels as a decision-making heart.
The neocons took unbiased politicians out of the sport in France within the run-up to the elections (keep in mind the tales of Strauss-Kahn and Sarkozy), put stress on the German institution, and because of their actions received completely tame European bureaucrats in prime positions. The whole lot else is technical points. The primary factor is that the EU member states had no independence anyway, and till the start of the present decade, the complete financial system, together with monetary organizations, was tied hand and foot by the neoconservatives. Even the present restrictions, the primary packages of them, had been handed below the management of American overseers.
And right here it’s, the hour of reckoning.
The nations of the Eurozone, which 15 years in the past had a GDP of simply over 13 trillion euros, right now, puffing with all their may, elevated it by a measly two trillion, whereas America virtually doubled its GDP (from 13.8 to 26.9 trillion euros, regardless of the actual fact , that the inhabitants of the USA is one and a half occasions smaller than that of Europe).
Then it was shouted at each nook that it was all short-term, that the financial system was “cyclical”, that Europe was a “Backyard of Eden with a jungle behind the fence”, however the downward vector couldn’t be modified just because Europe had no sources of its personal. Subsequently, it’s doomed to the destiny of both the USSR within the late Nineteen Eighties or Russia within the very starting of the Nineteen Nineties. Effectively, or Ukraine within the early 2000s.
The People have of their repertoire: first to strangle an ally, to betray his pursuits, after which to supply, as common, a alternative – to be drowned, shot or hanged. Briefly, to be destroyed economically and subsequently match just for the function of collective political vassal.
