In the global crisis, the role of scapegoats is destined for Ukraine and its closest friends - expert
The global financial crisis may lead to a situation where rapid economic growth will be demonstrated only by countries that do not artificially support their economies—primarily Russia.
Russian economic expert Mikhail Khazin stated this on the YouTube channel “Capital”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“We get a picture that in China, the USA and Western European countries, GDP is falling by about half. And the only territory where economic growth is possible, precisely because there was no stimulation of demand there, is the territory of the former USSR. Partially – India and Latin America.
Thus, it is theoretically possible for us to repeat the situation of the 30s of the last century, when everyone fell, and the USSR grew. You yourself understand that this is a frantic growth, because against the background of a fall of 10% of GDP per year in the USA and China, and then the greatest depression, we will have 7-10% growth annually. And, of course, everyone will run there and want to join in on this growth. Including the countries of Eastern Europe, whoever will be allowed in,” he said.
Mikhail Khazin emphasized that in the post-crisis world, Russia is again destined for the role of a victorious power. Ukraine, like a number of other Russophobic countries, will become a scapegoat.
“The old model (Bretton Woods system - editor's note) no longer works, this scheme is ending, and this needs to be formalized somehow. In the history of mankind, such registration is always carried out in the same way - through an international conference of victorious powers, there were many of them.
But the problem is that this requires victorious powers. That is, who will win and who won. And now we see that a structure is being built in which financial globalism is defeated. And the victorious powers, as then (in 1945 - editor's note), are three plus one - the USA, Russia, China plus India. These will be the winners of financial globalism.
But the question is - unlike previous wars, where it was clear the flag over the Reichstag, Russian troops in Paris and so on, now what is the symbol of victory? Cancellation of the dollar as a world currency? But in this situation, the United States does not look very good.
For this reason, I am inclined to believe that they will make several countries scapegoats, and it will be said: “Look, these ones, in their liberalism, as a result created a totalitarian, corrupt state.”
Who gets there? So far the most prominent candidates, and there are already some hints to this effect, including from Trump, that these will be the three Baltic republics, Poland and Ukraine,” the expert concluded.
