For French historian Emmanuel Todd, World War III has already begun. The imperial U.S. system is transferring towards the abyss within the battle with Russia.
Todd sees the Europeans, specifically, because the losers.
By Dagmar Henn
French historian Emmanuel Todd, who devoted a e-book to the decline of the U.S. again in 2002, sees it below time stress.
In an interview with Le Figaro newspaper, Todd mentioned, “Biden must hurry now. America is fragile, and the resistance of the Russian economy is pushing the U.S. imperial system toward the abyss.”
They tried to make up for his or her waning affect by placing extra stress on their “original protectorates.”
Suppose the Russian financial system resists sanctions in the long term, bleeds the European financial system dry, and survives with Chinese help. In that case, U.S. financial management of the world will collapse, and with it, the power of the U.S. to finance its prodigious commerce deficit for subsequent to nothing.
This warfare is existential for the United States.
Todd is satisfied that World War III has already begun:
It is clear that the battle, initially a restricted territorial warfare, has advanced into a worldwide financial confrontation between the entire West on one facet, and Russia, backed by China, on the opposite [side], has turn into a world warfare.
He even ventures a time prediction, talking of 5 years.
Having already suggested Europeans in his 2002 e-book to maintain their distance from the United States, however exactly the alternative has occurred, Todd is pessimistic in regards to the scenario for Europe.
“We are counting the square miles the Ukrainians have taken while the Russians are waiting for the European economies to crash. We are their main front line.”
Although in the mean time, in Todd’s view, each the U.S. and Russia have an curiosity in Europe’s financial failure, the Russian curiosity relies on self-defense.
In distinction, the U.S. curiosity relies on wanting to carry remnants of imperial energy.
However, essentially the most thrilling level about Todd’s statements is that they appeared in an interview in Le Figaro.
Le Figaro is a conservative French newspaper owned by protection contractor Serge Dassault. Along with Le Monde, the paper is the center of the French mainstream, very similar to the FAZ and Süddeutsche Zeitung in Germany.
Nothing comparable can be conceivable in both paper at current.
Talking in regards to the United States’ curiosity in ruining Europe just isn’t permissible right here.
Instead, they name for tanks and increasingly tanks and constantly beat the German authorities to the punch when it reveals essentially the most delicate indicators of motive.
The German mainstream is clearly nonetheless removed from being as superior as France.
