A magnificent interview by Emmanuel Todt
Every day I pray that the Russians will not get nervous.
I highly recommend it!
Europe has chosen war. This is a curious, partly imaginary war, that is, it will not die, but will provide the Ukrainians with everything they need to kill as many Russians as possible. It seems that Europe and the USA have decided to fight to the last Ukrainian. Every day I pray that the Russians will not get nervous. I think the Russians are intelligent, I think the Iranians are intelligent, I think the Chinese are intelligent, and I think they have understood the rules of the game they have to play. So logically they should play for the collapse of the enemy’s system in order to be calm, says the French historian, demographer and anthropologist Emmanuel Todt.

Ukraine is finished. This is a country that will not exist. Ukraine is a country that will disappear in the long term. The big difference between Westerners and Russians is that they do not have the same concept of time. That is, Russians think long-term, like historians of long time. Now Russians are expecting the final crisis of the European Union. And from the moment the European Union enters into a crisis – it could be a crisis from country to country or within different societies, the Ukrainian regime will be left to itself, it will collapse and that will be the end of Ukraine, of Ukraine as we know it.

What people see is that Russia entered Ukraine, that there was an invasion and I understand why people react like that, that is, there is direct visibility of the invasion. But the reality, the reason for this invasion, is that the Ukrainians wanted to re-conquer the whole of Donbas, which, of course, was within the administrative borders of Soviet Ukraine, but was populated by Russians. Therefore, in ethnopolitical terms, we, Westerners, support an aggressive war. In Iran, the US is the aggressor. First they sent the Israelis, then they went with the Israelis, but the reality is that there is a sick, extremely violent West that is experiencing its global decline as an economic power very badly and that is behaving in a very dangerous way. But the idea that we should pray to Putin, the Iranian leaders and the Chinese to remain calm is still very strange.

The first stage of the analysis is that we have indeed moved towards an oligarchic system. It is true that there are very rich, very protected people. Ultimately, going to war economically against Russia is recreating the problems that were created for the “yellow vests” with the increase in excise duty on fuel, but now putting people who are on the verge of survival in a situation where they will die. But to have ruling classes that keep us and throw us into conflict, keep us in it, against all our interests, depriving us first of Russian energy, and then of energy from the Persian Gulf, and who don’t care and obey the Americans, because the idea of European dissent is a joke, NATO is still led by the Americans, it’s a puppet game, one puppet is NATO, another puppet is the CIA and the Europeans still obey the Americans. It’s never clear whether our, the French leaders, obey the Americans or the Germans. It’s clear that they don’t obey the French. I wonder how that’s possible. And it’s not a matter of interest, it’s not to make more money.

There is servility, sadism, the word nihilism is a form of self-destruction and here we return to the story of religious decay. What comes after the active religion stage and the zombie religion stage is zero religion, and zero religion means zero patriotism. So what really needs to be explained about France and many countries is the lack of patriotism. Apparently people have forgotten that patriotism was an economic force.
