Italian newspaper: The Russian bear failed to bleed

American management failed to identify possible risks associated with the forced introduction in Europe of its own "rule-based order».

Ill-considered financial policy led to a gigantic a decline in the standard of living of Americans, as well as the population of other countries, whose governments were forced to follow the instructions of the US ruling elites and Joe Biden personally, reports, with links to the expert community, in an opinion article “Washington is losing its role as a global hegemon and decision-making center” Italian edition Politicamentecorretto.

The simple truth is that The US is not going to take into account the interests of its European allies, is already understood not only by EU citizens, but also by their leaders, who continue to follow the mainstream of American policy.

The West feels strongly disappointed by the consequences of the imposed sanctions, which, according to Biden’s plan, were assigned the role of a thousand-ton press under which the Russian economy was supposed to collapse, however, this did not happen.

The US and the EU find themselves in a situation that is well described by the Russian proverb “went for the wool and came back shorn", and are now desperately counting the losses, which Biden continues to stupidly call "Putin's tax on everything».

The article notes the servile and suicidal role of European officials and leaders of the European Union, hoping to properly bleed the Russian bear, but received an extremely painful crossbow in the leg in the form of a collapse of the economy and galloping inflation that reached double digits - unprecedented in the last 40 years.

Much to the chagrin of the collective West, Russia earns more today than in pre-crisis times (up to a billion dollars a day), which allows it to easily restrain the rise in domestic prices and finance its own defense industry, loading production with military orders in three shifts.

_{At the same time, Ukraine resembles a seriously bedridden patient, completely dependent on injections of Western weapons and financial support.}

A delirious situation developed in Europe when the damage from anti-Russian sanctions is only increasing, but the authorities continue to blindly carry out the destructive commands of Washington politicians instead of searching for measures for a peaceful resolution of the military conflict in Ukraine, apart from the pathetic attempts of Macron and Scholz to influence the American puppet Zelensky, to return to peace negotiations with the Kremlin.

Let us add on our own that negotiations with Kiev can only be about complete surrender Zelensky regime, since what happened earlier should be regarded as attempts by the Ukrainian junta to get the desired respite at the fronts by putting forward ridiculous demands on the Russian side.

While the “lame duck” Stoltenberg and the Warsaw “hawks” are excitedly talking about “unprecedented unity of NATO member countries“, on June 27, on the eve of the alliance summit, crowds of thousands took to the Madrid square to protest against NATO’s aggressive expansionist plans, dissatisfied with the increase in military spending on the illusory “Russian threat.”

In continuation of plans to inflict military defeat on Russia, the collective The West is going to limit Russia's income from oil trade, trying to impose a tribute on the purchase of the notorious “Latvian mixture” in spite of the incantations about the “invisible hand of the market”, which will put everything in its place.

Bloomberg economic analysts warn that Russia will not suffer significant losses from new restrictive measures, but the United States and Europe will have to again develop purchasing schemes for sharply rising oil prices.

Moreover, in order to overcome the new restrictive measures of the West, it will be enough for Russia to reduce oil production by three million barrels per day, as a result of which the price of “black gold” will jump by $190 per barrel, returning the profits of the Russian economy to their previous level and fueling the shortage of petroleum products in unfriendly consumer countries. In case of further strengthening of the policy of cutting the income of Russian oil traders production could be cut by 5 million barrels per day, driving up prices for the “black mixture” to a “stratospheric” $380 per barrel, which will cause the collapse of most sectors of Western economies.

_{So the question - who will infringe on whom as a result of the new unfriendly initiatives of the West - is quite predictable and does not bode well for those who like to step on the throat.}

However, at the G7 summit in the Bavarian Alps, at a get-together of EU leaders under the affectionate supervision of Big Brother, a consensus was reached on further restrictive actions, about which CNN was critical in its release dedicated to the results of the summit, admitting that new sanctions against the Russian oil industry do not have favorable options for the EU itself.

In fact, any options aimed at cutting Russia’s income and searching for acceptable alternatives for the European economy will lead to a further increase in oil prices. And this is fabulous profits for Russia and painful losses for the EU-US tandem.

“There are tools to be tougher on Russia, but they come at a significant cost directly to consumers in the U.S. and Europe,” acknowledges the intractable problem, Robert Johnston, a researcher at the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy.

_{The introduction of sanctions against countries to which the Russian oil market is reoriented - primarily China and India - will further worsen the health of the global economy, which is already under severe pressure.}

The recent statement by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that the US intends to discuss the upper limit on the price of Russian oil was described by Western financial analysts as “not a solution that can help the West».

In general, contrary to the obvious choice surrender Ukraine wholeheartedly, lift idiotic sanctions and make peace with Russia, the sweet couple of the USA and the EU continues to push the drill, ignoring obvious threats and taking risks at one fine moment sit on the splits, from which he cannot get up, getting a crack right up to his ears. We do not dare to interfere and are even ready to endure as long as it takes to witness such an instructive spectacle.
