La ceguera del Imperio y la falta de
pensamiento propio por parte de la dirigencia europea en lo que respecta a
cuestiones estratégicas alcanzan ya niveles de escándalo. Al respecto, acá va
una interesante nota de Sergey Glazyev (foto) para Russia Insider aparecida
ayer, en donde analiza la posición de Rusia frente a las sanciones impulsadas
por los EEUU, así como también la pasividad del resto de Occidente. Glazyev,
economista de profesión, es asesor del presidente ruso Vladimir Putin. A ver si

Título: Russia's
gameplan against the Empire of Chaos
Subtítulo: Is
there any reason to expect the lifting of American sanctions?
Texto: The
sanctions are an element of the hybrid war that the US is waging against us.
They are doing this not because they do not like Russia's 'annexation' of the
Crimea, but because of the objective and subjective interests of the American
establishment.
The US is losing
its hegemony: it is already producing fewer products and exporting fewer
technologies than China. China is also catching up with America in the number
of scientists and engineers, and many innovative Chinese technologies are
capturing world markets. China's development rate is five times that of the US.
The international system of economic entities recently set up in China
exemplify the new world economic order.
The economic
entities that dominate in the US, serving a financial oligarchy, have
destabilized the American monetary and financial system, which defaults about
twice a year. The causes of the global financial crisis of 2008 have not
disappeared and the American debt bubble — financial pyramids composed of
derivatives and the national debt —are still growing.
According to
systems theory, this process cannot continue indefinitely. The American
oligarchy is desperate to get rid of its debt burden, which is why it is
conducting a hybrid war, not only against Russia, but against Europe and the
Middle East.
As always happens
in a changing world economic order, the country that is losing its leadership
tries to unleash a world war for control over the periphery. Since Americans
consider the former Soviet space to be their financial and economic periphery,
they are trying to gain control over it.
The American
political establishment has been brought up on the chimeras of nineteenth
century geopoliticians. American students study basic English and German
geopolitical ideas of that time in political science classes. The main question
back then was how to ruin the Russian Empire, and they still look at the world
through the eyes of the XIX century 'hawks', when Great Britain tried to save
its hegemony by starting the First World War, then lost their colonial empire
after the Second World War.
This is what
American geopoliticians study in the State Department and the White House,
continuing to look at the world through the prism of both the Cold War and
British confrontations with Russia and Germany in the nineteenth century, and
now the US is unleashing another world war.
The combination
of the objective problems of the American financial oligarchy, and the strange
mindset of American geopoliticians threatens a world conflict. This has nothing
to do with the Crimea. Any reason will do.
We need to act in
terms of the contradictions leading the US to an aggressive stance fraught with
the risk of a hybrid war with the whole world. They have chosen Russia as their
main objective, and the Ukraine, occupied by them, as their main means of
destruction.
To survive under
these conditions, maintain our sovereignty and develop our economy, we need to
build a broad anti-military coalition, pursue our priority development
strategy, recover our financial and economic sovereignty and pursue Eurasian
integration. To prevent war, we need to realize the president's goal of a
common development area from Lisbon to Vladivostok. It is very important to
convince our European partners as well as our partners in the Far East and in
the South that we need to cooperate, not by blackmailing or threatening them,
but through mutually beneficial projects, joining our economic potential while
respecting the sovereignty of each state.
Can we mend
relations with the EU and how
To mend
cooperation with the European Union, we need to restore its sovereignty. The
sight of European politicians among the crowd of Nazis at Euromaidan showed how
much European political culture has degraded. The EU leaders are not
independent; they are US puppets.
American media
dominates Europe's political space, embedding anti-Russian chimeras into
people' consciousness, intimidating them with a so-called Russian threat. Their
politicians are forced to go with the media line provided by Washington in
order to win votes. This has lead to the catastrophe we are watching today in
Brussels and other European cities, which are gripped with fear as governments
fail to provide security.
Unfortunately,
the sovereignty of Europe cannot be restored just by booting up social
consciousness. The problems did not appear out of the blue; they are the result
of the European political class abandoning its national interest. Europe is
facing a very difficult period of transition, during which it is not yet a
partner, but Washington's shadow.
Europeans have
lost their sense of direction. They live in a mosaic, a fragmentary world that
has no shared relationships. But life will force them back to reality, and I
believe that eventually European democratic traditions and humanism will
prevail.
