In the present confrontation between Russia and the West over the Ukrainian crisis, the image of the Cold War inevitably comes to mind and the media are obviously fond of it. However, contrary to what it gives us to understand, its not Russia that seeks the return of an iron curtain but really the US. An iron curtain separating the old powers and emerging nations; the world before and the world afterwards; debtors and creditors. And this in the crazy hope of preserving the American way of life and the US influence over its camp in the absence of being able to impose it on the whole world. In other words, go down with as many companions as possible to give the impression of not sinking.
For the US, these are the current stakes in fact: drag along the whole Western camp with them to be able to continue dominating and trading with enough countries. So, we are witnessing a formidable operation of turning round opinion and leaders in Europe to ensure docile and understanding rulers vis-à-vis the American boss, supported by a blitzkrieg to link them permanently with the TTIP and to cut them off from what could be their lifeline, namely the BRICS, their huge markets, their vibrant future, their link with developing countries, etc. We are analyzing all these aspects in this GEAB issue, as well as the subtle use of the fear of deflation to convince Europeans to adopt US methods.
In the light of the extreme danger of these methods used by the US, it goes without saying that leaving the US ship wouldnt be an act of betrayal by Europe, but really a major step forward for the world as we have already extensively analyzed in previous GEAB issues (1).
Unfortunately, the most reasonable European leaders are completely paralyzed and the best strategy that they are still capable of currently putting into effect, in the best case scenario, seems to be simply to delay (2), certainly useful and welcome but hardly sufficient

“it goes without saying that leaving the US ship wouldnt be an act of betrayal by Europe, but really a major step forward for the world”
Hundreds of billions of TARP funds went to European banks. Also Europe realistically has no military and is almost wholly dependent upon a free ride from the USA.
Sure baby, go it alone.
Who are these idiots? If you read the article you see that they claim significant food shortages in the U.S. This is simply a bald faced lie.
Paranoids at this level are dangerous. Yes, even paranoids have enemies but whomever wrote this has been off their medications for a while.
This is what I feel too.
I wish they would go it alone.
“... its not Russia that seeks the return of an iron curtain but really the US”
Sure, it’s America’s fault that Russia is trying to rebuild the Evil Empire. ...and wouldn’t the world be just dandy if America turned their back and let them do it!
