While most of the world breathed a sigh of relief following the fruitful discussions between the United States and Russia in Riyadh, mouthpiece for the British financial empire Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has lost his mind and compares it to the 1939 non-aggression agreement between the Nazis and the Soviet Union: the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
The prospect of peace breaking out strikes terror into the hearts of the Anglo-American elites. Their response now is coherent with their warnings during Trump’s first term that a second Trump term would spell the end of the “special relationship” between the U.S. and U.K.
Evans-Pritchard complains that Europe is indulging in “pacifist illusions” while spending too little on military buildup, and this “a full 17 years after Vladimir Putin declared political war on liberal civilization and all its works at the Munich Security Conference in 2007.” Putin’s goal is “restoring the tsarist empire to the borders of Catherine the Great” he says. He praises some European nations for “rising to the challenge": Denmark, Poland, and Lithuania are expanding their military spending.
He frets that Trump will “swallow the bait” of good relations with Russia, and reasons that “Britain and Europe are now the real enemies for this new Washington.” (If Britain and the EU oppose peace, then they are the enemies of mankind as a whole!)
“Worse yet if Trump does this [sets tariffs on the U.K.] while reaching a cosy commodity deal with Putin along with a grand bargain with Xi Jinping to protect Elon Musk’s interests in China,” he fulminates, while suggesting that there aren’t a million good reasons to have great relations with China.
Europe has lost the United States, he concludes, and now “finds itself utterly naked.”
“To watch an ally of 80 years turn on us with ferocity and blithely team up with our declared enemy really is the end of days.”
