THE FAILURE OF GERMAN LEADERSHIP, Paul Craig Roberts

Merkel Whores For Washington

Washington, enabled by its compliant but stupid NATO 
puppets, is pushing the Ukrainian situation closer to war.
German Chancellor Merkel has failed her country, Europe, 

and world peace. Germany is the strength of the EU and NATO. 

Had Merkel said “No” to sanctions on Russia, that would have 

been the end of the crisis that Washington is brewing, a crisis 

unlikely to be ended short of war.
But Merkel has signed away the sovereignty of the German 
nation and assigned the fate of Germany to a province in the American Empire. Thus has Merkel and the weak
German leadership consigned the world to war. Already 
blamed for World War 1 and World War 2, now Germany 
will be blamed for World War 3. 

Washington’s mismanaged Ukrainian coup has cost 

Washington Crimea, which Washington wanted most of 

all in order to deprive Russia of its warm water naval base 

on the Black Sea. In addition, the mismanaged overthrow 

of an elected government in Ukraine is threatening to also 

lose the Russian cities of eastern Ukraine. Like Crimea, 

eastern Ukraine is more Russian than Ukrainian.

In what is clearly a fruitless and pointless effort to 

get Crimea back, Washington is demanding that Russia 

interfere in Crimea and prevent Crimea from seceding from 

Ukraine. If the Russian government refuses to follow 

Washington’s orders, Washington has announced that it 

will inflict “damaging sanctions” on Russia. Initially, EU 

countries expressed an unwillingness to go along with 

Washington, but with bribes and threats, Washington has 

conquered Merkel and has its European puppets lined up 

following orders.

Washington understands that economic sanctions are a far 

less threat to Russia than the loss of its Black Sea naval base. 

Washington also understands that Putin cannot possibly 

abandon the millions of Russians in eastern and southern 

Ukraine to the mercy of the anti-Russian and unelected 

government imposed by Washington in Kiev. As Washington 

knows that its threat of sanctions is empty, why did 

Washington make it?

The answer is in order to drive the crisis to war. Washington’s 

neoconservative nazis have been agitating for war with Russia 

for a long time. They want to remove one of the three remaining 

restraints (Russia, China, Iran) on Washington’s world hegemony. 

Washington wants to break up the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, 

China, South Africa) before these countries form a separate 

currency bloc and avoid the use of the US dollar.

Russia will respond in kind to Washington’s sanctions. 

European peoples and Western banks and corporations 

will suffer losses. It would be at least two or three years 

before Washington has in place means of delivering US 

natural gas achieved by fracking and contamination of US 

water supplies to Europe to take the place of Russia’s cutoff 

of energy to Europe.

The Western presstitute media will dramatize the Russian 

response to sanctions and demonize Russia, while ignoring 

who started the fight, thereby helping Washington prepare 

Americans for war. As neither side can afford to lose the 

war, nuclear weapons will be used. There will be no winners.

All of this is perfectly clear, just as was the obvious 

conclusion of the march of events leading up to World 

War 1. Now, like then, the people who see the outcome 

are powerless to stop it. Delusion rules. Arrogance and 

hubris overflow. Statements and actions become ever more 

reckless, and then there is hell to pay.

Americans and Europeans, if they had any awareness at all, 

would be in the streets violently protesting the coming war

toward which the insane criminals in Washington are driving 

the world.

Instead, the German chancellor, the French president, the 

British prime minister and the Western presstitute media 

continue to lie: It was legitimate for the West to steal 

Kosovo from Serbia and to steal the Ukrainian government, 

but it is not legitimate for the Russian population of Crimea 

to exercise self-determination and return to Russia. 

Washington and its EU puppets even have the audacity to 

declare falsely, after overthrowing an elected government 

in Ukraine and installing an unelected one, that Crimean 

self-determination violates the Ukrainian constitution, 

which no longer exists because Washington destroyed it.

The criminally insane government in Washington has pushed 

the Russian bear into a corner. The bear is not going to surrender.
