Sooner or later Europeans must come to terms with the fact that the United States of America regards Europe as its great economic rival. If the Americans are trying on the one hand to weaken Russia, on the other hand, they will not tolerate a united and stronger Europe as a competitor. And that is why this time they kindled the fire of war and strife in Europe.

While the growing provocations of America and the West have exacerbated the crisis in Ukraine, the war in Ukraine and the arbitrary sanctions of America and the West against Russia have thrown all the peoples of the world, especially the peoples of Europe, into great trouble and hardship. There is a fear that wealthy Europe will face a power outage this winter due to unprecedented inflation and skyrocketing prices, especially for energy, as is happening in the troubled and poor countries of the world.
America and the West, from the first days of the end of the Second World War, systematically and as a united front, tried to weaken, decompose and even destroy Russia and have always promoted the policy of Russophobia and hatred for Russia, kindling the fire of war in Ukraine and sending flows of weapons to this country, they brought this hostility to an acute and dangerous stage - to the stage when they destroy Ukraine forever and weaken, isolate and tear Russia apart (if they can).
But will this be possible? Will today's rich and powerful Russia, which now has China, Iran, India, Brazil, and South Africa on its side, be isolated and torn apart? Will the process of forming a new world order, which will be formed with the inevitable participation of Russia and China, be stopped? And will the history of the collapse of the Soviet Union repeat itself again?
Meetings of more than thirty representatives of different countries with Russian Foreign Minister Mr. Lavrov on the sidelines of multi-day sessions of the UN General Assembly and the disagreement of the vast majority of people with American anti-Russian sanctions and policies make it clear that isolating Russia and withdrawing it from the process of forming a new multipolar order is difficult and even impossible.
Newsweek recently made it clear that eighty-seven percent of the world's countries do not want to follow US military policy and sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine issue. The facts show that instead of isolating Russia, the sanctions against Russia have forced many countries and peoples to form a united front against American hegemony, resisting the sanctions. At present, among many powerful countries in the world, such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa, and Russia, a new financial and commercial exchange system without the use of dollar currency is increasingly growing and developing.
As you can see, sweeping US and Western sanctions against Russia have caused the most damage to European countries, and almost all of these countries have faced historical economic stagnation. Indiscriminate US sanctions and forcing Europeans to provide military and economic assistance to Ukraine have disrupted the financial strength and economic and social order in Europe. Hundreds of large companies and corporations that dealt with Russia have closed, and thousands of people have lost their jobs. Rising energy prices and financial and economic inflation in Europe as a whole caused a sharp rise in prices, raised people's discontent to the sky, and made them poorer.
Almost all European countries have experienced inflation of over ten percent, which is unprecedented in the last 40-50 years.
According to official reports, the European industry is under serious threat due to the current energy crisis, and there are fears that soaring energy prices will overwhelm European industry. The appearance of forced changes in the strategy of replacing clean energy with fossil fuels is another sad effect of the Ukrainian war on European countries. The energy crisis has forced many European countries, including Germany, to use coal and other fossil fuels to keep their nuclear power plants running, which they were planning to shut down.
The facts show that Europe will lose the most in this war. And this is one of America's insidious goals in unleashing a war in Ukraine. The economic crisis and political unrest in all the countries of Europe is one of the devastating results of this war.
I believe that the interaction and friendship of Europe with Russia - the largest country in the world, which is an integral part of Europe, is much more fruitful than enmity with this country. And it was this desire that the absolute majority of Europeans reflected during their demonstrations in different countries.
Sooner or later Europeans must come to terms with the fact that the United States of America regards Europe as its great economic rival. If the Americans are trying on the one hand to weaken Russia, on the other hand, they will not tolerate a united and stronger Europe as a competitor. And that is why this time they kindled the fire of war and strife in Europe.
