Germany and the EU Abandon Reason
Germany and the EU Abandon Reason
Michael von der Schulenburg, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
We had a discussion with Michael von der Schulenburg - a German top diplomat with the OSCE and 34 years in the United Nations. The topic of discussion was the transformation of Germany and the war in Ukraine. Michael von der Schulenburg argues the EU must change course on Ukraine or risk tearing itself apart.
Michael von der Schulenburg and Harald Kujat (the former head of the German Bundeswehr and former chairman of the NATO Military Committee) criticised NATO for provoking the war and sabotaging the peace agreement to use Ukrainians to fight and weaken a strategic rival. Germany is now de-industrialising, the political elites have rediscovered enthusiasm for war, the US and Ukraine attacked Germany’s critical energy infrastructure which EU partners consider to be legitimate, society is growing more pessimistic, freedom of speech is undermined, there are signs of political violence, and new political alternatives are emerging that are not acceptable to the government. Michael von der Schulenburg argues the EU no longer behaves as a rational actor. Where did it all go wrong?
Judging by the fact that this war evolves from bad to worse and there is no intention to stop it, this war is a war of the anglo-saxons against Russia, Ukraine and Europa. It is the only logical explanation. I don't understand why Germany and France are allowing this (especially Germany, the big loser).
Fully agree. Good to see there still is intelligent decent people instead of all those corrupt warmongering EU politicians and NATO leaders It’s miserable that Europe since 1945 still are a vasal state of USA and their useful idiot in their never ending illegal loser wars Russia are not EUs enemy and they will never attack EU countries Why should they ? Russia are the world’s biggest country They don’t need EU. Instead of go to war with Russia EU should cooperate with them They have all the resources EU need to a cheap price EU don’t have a independent foreigner or defense politics They just do what USA and NATO order them to do. Even if it heard them selves and destroy their economy EU should be a guaranteed for peace Now it’s a active war union and support killing of many 100.000 innocent people in Ukraine Like they also supported it in Iraq Syria Somalia Afghanistan. There are absolute no reason for doing that and they win nothing they only lose and people die Waste of life and money USA are always at war. They see enemies everywhere so they can justify their more than 800 military bases around the world 1000 of miles from their homeland. They are in conflict with Iran Russia China and several other countries But why do EU follow them ? Iran Russia China have never done them anything They want to cooperate and create a win win situation USA always creates lose lose situations Their goal is to keep their military industry running no matter the cost 💲 But EU should not participate Dissolve NATO and built their own defense forces to protect EU Not to interfere and attack other countries 1000 of miles away We want peace stability and harmony Not endless wars
