GEAB N°83
is available! Global systemic crisis-escalation in the US reaction for
survival: trigger a cold war to make it easier to annex Europe
When, in
November 2013, Russia asked the EU for tripartite negotiations on the Ukraine’s
free trade agreements with its two neighbours in order to find areas of common
ground for all parties directly concerned (1), what was at stake was stability,
integrity and independence for the Ukraine and that it should remain as the
natural link between Europe and Russia. But neither Baroness Ashton, nor Mr.
O’Sullivan (2), in charge of the European External Action Service, nor Mr. Fule
who, at the head of the Directorate General for Enlargement, spends his time
trying to integrate everything that moves in Eastern Europe (3), didn’t want
that. On the contrary, they have forced the Ukraine to “choose sides” (4), thus
creating the conditions subsequent to the inevitable events which we know: the
Ukraine has in fact chosen… and the country, logically, has entered a dramatic
and bloody process of decision which is only just begun. Baroness Ashton and
Mr. O’Sullivan have literally set a trap for the Ukraine… and Europe.
