The European Commission President Announces in Effect That EU Is Joining the War Against Russia

PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS • FEBRUARY 27, 2022

The idiot European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced that, despite Putin’s warning, the EU is going to finance the purchase and delivery of weapons to Ukraine. The idiot also said the EU is going to include Belarus, which is not involved in the fighting, in the sanctions, because it is a Russian ally. She says the EU wants to ban Russian media because they don’t keep to the official war narrative.

So, the European Commission president announces that the EU is joining the war on the side of the Ukrainian Nazis, and Washington’s idiot UN Ambassador accuses Putin of escalating the war. We see here the results of Putin’s far too many years of keeping his patience with the West. The West has grown accustomed to imposing punishment upon punishment on Russia with no consequences to itself. Now suddenly there are consequences, and it is all Putin’s fault.

I have warned for a number of years that the policy of patience would fail in the end because the West would keep pushing until it blundered across a red line. That has now occurred, and the consequences will be far more serious than if Russia had put her foot down long ago.

Russophobic morons accuse me of being pro-Russian because I provide objective analysis instead of joining in the mindless denunciations. I am the one who saw nuclear war coming because of the mistaken policies of both sides. It is the Western Russophobes and the naive Russian trust in negotiations that have misfired. Unfortunately, it is my analysis that is proving to be correct. I can’t say I am happy about it.
