“We need a Berlin!” The reaction to this phrase is a great marker, so I will repeat it again and again. Tactics of the Kremlin towards Europe is simple and clear to anyone who has mastered the history of the XX century. Now we see a third(!) try to use continental Europe as a battering RAM against Russia, and Washington hopes to once again conduct a simple trick, the essence of which is that Russian needs to die, and the maximum number of points from (supposedly) intra-European conflict to the Americans, who this time successfully after serving overseas, and then they make movies about how they all won. Those who are satisfied with this scheme, you can safely burn or idiots or in a list of mercenaries of the state Department. Fortunately, in the Kremlin, it does not suit anyone. The consistent policy pursued by the Russian leadership, despite the displeasure of situationof”, brings visible results that a significant part of the audience simply prefers not to notice, as they do not fit into her picture of the world or feel about things that are esoteric for her.
The results of the self-part of the European elite, which I do not like the prospect of fixing the colonial status of Europe and the Americans using it as a battering RAM against Russia, primarily manifest in the most important economic plane. It is worth Recalling that the main geopolitical conflict today is not Syria, not Ukraine, and the conflict surrounding the Treaty on the transatlantic partnership (TTIP), which the United States imposed the European Union. This partnership includes literally thousands of items describing the economic, technical and even legal interactions between the United States and the European Union, and it is presented to the audience as a kind of enhanced version of the free trade zone, however, is actually a key element of the supposed agreement is the complete elimination of European sovereignty. Under the pretext of protecting the interests of American corporate investors are invited to submit the private arbitration courts the right to block laws passed by European parliaments, in case if they will threaten the interests of U.S. companies, and their interests are always interpreted very widely. In fact, after the signing of the TTIP in its current form, the EU will become a colony of the United States with rights less than those of Costa Rica. It is obvious that the Americans used all methods of influence in order to achieve the signing of the agreement as soon as possible.
And here fans of the theory that Europe is a spineless colony of the United States suffered a rupture of the thinking pattern, because the EU represented by Germany and France for two years successfully evades from signing of this agreement, and all attempts to pull it through the European Parliament in fact came to nothing, as well as direct negotiations under the US — EU. For two years, with remarkable regularity, the believers in the omnipotence of U.S. experts and “opinion leaders” in social networks report that TTIP is inevitable, and once Obama requires him to sign, his sign, and nowhere is Europe is not going anywhere, and hoping for independence influential part of the European elite to entertain unrealistic dreams. However, TTIP is not only signed, but moribund, especially since Washington has publicly acknowledged the existence of a deadline — the contract must be signed before the end of Obama’s term, or his signing will be for objective political reasons, postponed indefinitely.
The chances of the Americans began to fall after the European Parliament adopted a set of requirements for the TTIP, among which is featured the elimination of the supranational courts and the subordination of American companies, European law and judicial system, but now an independent part of the European elite http://politrussia.com/go.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fvz.ru%2Fnews%2F2016%2F6%2F26%2F818100.html” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>decided to put the ambitions of the US another blow. The Prime Minister of France Manuel Valls said that the conclusion of an agreement on Transatlantic trade and investment partnership between the European Union and the United States is impossible if it does not take into account the interests of the EU.
“From now on no free trade agreement should not be signed if it does not comply with the interests of the European Union. Europe must be firm. France will watch over this. And I tell you frankly that agreements on the transatlantic trade can not be. This agreement goes in the wrong direction.” Manuel Valls
American media is sad to say that a British exit from the EU will further undermine the chances of signing of the agreement, as London was one of the main supporters of TTIP within the EU.
It is significant that against this background, Angela Merkel decided to return in the information field the idea of a common economic space from Vladivostok to Lisbon, and despite the skepticism of Russian commentators, this gesture should be taken very seriously, at least as a step in a well-known political strategists, which is to gradually accustom the society (and even some elites) the most incredible scenarios for the future.
This canvas fit the decision of the regional parliaments of Italy on the recognition of the Crimea (it is significant that the decisions taken in the regions, where concentrated assets and political influence of the old European aristocracy and Venetian-Lombard bankers), the statements of foreign Minister Steinmeier, who spoke out against the NATO exercises in the Baltic States and the visit of the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker at the SPIEF despite protests the US state Department.
In this context fits perfectly with the joint work of the presidents of Russia and China who are trying to offer the Europeans (and not only them) an alternative image of the future does not imply a universal subordination of the United States. Attempt to tear Europe from the United States, but rather an attempt to help an independent part of the European economic elite to break away from the United States — is a joint Russian-Chinese project, which is equally necessary and Moscow and Beijing. Do not forget that the main geopolitical project of China — ‘the Economic belt of the silk road” — absolutely meaningless, unless it involved Europe, and the rules of the game on the European continent of the United States set. It is easy to understand why this scheme needs Russia. The Kremlin on the one hand can act as the guarantor of European security, and on the other hand as a Manager for the logistics bridge between Europe and China, which can not be cut off any carrier battle group. Judging by recent events, the chances of successful isolation of Europe from the United States increase, and if all goes well, the next era of American hegemony will have to spend in forced isolation on the largest continent. For the sake of this scenario it is worth to try.
