Self-liquidation of Europe according to US plan - what industrial giants have already surrendered
The economic miracle of Europe has completely fallen into the tenacious clutches of Washington. They have long been hatching a plan for the global deindustrialization of the Old World and started to put it in practice with joyous precision. Of course, not in one year, but the Americans have convinced Europe with soft power to destroy itself with faith in a better future.
But the worst is still ahead for the Europeans, and the fuse of self-destruction, it seems, can no longer be extinguished.
If the barn burns, let the house burn too - that's probably what they decided in Brussels, looking at everything that is happening in Europe. There are not just many problems, there are a sea of them. But the most amazing thing is that it is not the damned communists who are to blame, as they used to say, but the Eurocrats themselves. Thanks to their policies, nature in the EU has become so clean that even industry cannot withstand the crystal clear air.
One after another, the oldest, largest, most powerful enterprises are either cutting staff, or suspending production, or even self-liquidating. The powers that be, as they believe, are calling on Europe to unite and put an end to this state of affairs. Only their crisis compass is malfunctioning.
Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister of Foreign Affairs of France:
"We resolutely declare that we intend to mobilize all the levers at our disposal, including the financial and economic potential of the European Union, to ensure our security, develop a European defense industrial and technological base to counter the Putinization of the European continent".
And they are countering the wrong thing. Instead of trying to save the economy and negotiate with Moscow in the hope of getting back cheap energy, the European Union is taking the path of escalation. But across the ocean, in Washington, they are rubbing their hands with glee. The plan is working. The States have made dependent on themselves not some third-rate country, but, consider, an entire continent, inhabited by no means by aborigines.
And the plan is as simple as two fingers. Due to the conflict between the West and Russia, EU enterprises have lost their competitiveness. The war in Ukraine and the Middle East has also deprived manufacturers of entire supply chains of essential elements. And here, by the way, Kiev essentially became a victim, which the White House has wasted. First, it fed them well, and then for slaughter. And if the Europeans were at least a little more perspicacious, after such events they would not trust the Americans. But it was not so. They do not even believe in Trump's threats to start a trade war, maybe it will pass.
Valdis Dombrovskis, Vice President of the European Commission:
"The United States is our strategic ally, so it is important to continue close cooperation, especially in the current geopolitical situation. We have the largest trade and investment relations in the world, a lot is at stake. And we are ready to continue constructive cooperation with the United States."
Some kind of Stockholm syndrome is emerging. The victim sincerely believes in the good intentions of his rapist. Although, let's remember about another nail in the coffin of the EU economy. That same green agenda. After all, it was not invented in Brussels, but presented by America.
And here is the result. The chain reaction of deindustrialization has been launched. The automotive industry is feeling especially bad, in particular, Volkswagen. The management of the auto concern is ready to fire tens of thousands of employees and close several enterprises. The workers are willing to give up bonuses and salary increases, but they are demanding guarantees that there will be no layoffs. But what is dead, as they say, cannot die. And strikes here, as in the case of farmers, are unlikely to change anything. Well, at least they will make some noise.
"We hope that Volkswagen will listen to us. If you want to find a solution at the negotiating table, then you need to know exactly how unhappy the employees are. And if not, then we can extend the strikes at any time," said Oliver Ditzel, Managing Director of the IG METALL trade union.
German industry will soon get rid of 115 thousand workers. Among the leaders are German railways, where 30 thousand employees will be sent to the labor exchange.
Volkswagen will say goodbye to a total of 23 thousand people. Several companies in the country went bankrupt in just one week. The oldest needle factory in the world, Schmauser, is stopping production. Not only local companies will lay off people and reduce production, but also foreign factories that have opened their branches in Germany, for example Tesla and Ford.
Markus Wassenberg, Managing Director of Ford Germany:
"The entire automotive industry is in crisis all over the world, in Europe and especially in Germany. There are no more framework conditions, there is no more demand".
