German Stunner: “West is on the Wrong Path”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Gabor Steingart, the the publisher of Germany’s leading financial newspaper Handelsblatt, just let loose with an editorial directly challenging Washington’s idiotic anti-Russian policies. Here it is in in German, English and Russian.

The appearance of this document is very timely: just yesterday Russia unleashed the first round of counter-sanctions, banning the import of foodstuffs from the US and the EU. These sanctions are cleverly designed to cause pain in proportion to the level of anti-Russian activity of the country in question; thus, the three Baltic countries, which are virulently anti-Russian in spite of having large Russian populations and surviving largely through trade with Russia, face staggering losses, followed by equally anti-Russian Poland, followed by the rest of the EU, including poor Greece, which is friendly to Russia and should be considered collateral damage. The greatest beneficiaries of these sanctions are all those countries that voted with Russia rather than with the West in the UN over the annexation of Crimea. Another clever element to these sanctions is that farmers tend to be politically vocal and influential. I see tractors clogging the streets of Europe’s capitals before too long.

As to his diagnosis of Obama’s true motivation, I think he has it wrong. It’s not all about pleasing the Tea Party. They, and voters in general, are irrelevant, it makes no difference who gets elected, and Obama’s policies are not Obama’s. The deeper reason Americans are currently attempting to enlarge every problem they see is that they are desperate to avoid a scenario where the US collapses on its own, with no external enemy to blame. Not only would it be just too humiliating, but also the people would turn on those responsible rather than on some foreign scapegoat. Putin has to fit the bill, reality be damned.
