Feb. 25, 2025 (EIRNS)—In the last 48 hours sparks are flying from the backfire of NATO narratives, in the circles of the Group of Seven, European Union and trans-Atlantic alignments. Though the future is still undefined, and dangers and suffering remain, the way is clearly opening for a new paradigm of security and economic benefit for all.
On Feb. 24, the stage was set by these NATO circles to beat the drum for more militarization of the economy, more sanctions, more warfare and bloodshed, done in the name of defending Ukraine, because yesterday was the occasion of the third anniversary of Russia’s special military operation. The core NATO narrative lie is “Russia wants to take over Europe,” and President Putin is a demonic autocrat. But instead of conveying this lie, or any such message, the day saw frenzy and foot-stomping, with more to come all week.
Twelve trans-Atlantic government leaders went in person to Kiev yesterday to grandstand, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, who hosted a meeting of the Group of Seven (in video and in person) which, however, could not come up with a joint statement, even by this morning. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a ferocious speech, announcing the largest set of British sanctions against Russia ever. On Thursday, Feb. 27, is Starmer’s scheduled meeting in Washington with President Donald Trump.
In Brussels, the same frenzy took place yesterday at the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting, where a briefing was given by Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, on “Russian Aggression.” The 16th set of EU sanctions against Russia was announced. What could the meeting offer otherwise? Only the date for another meeting. On March 6, a meeting of the European Council is to convene in Brussels, on “enhancing military support” for Ukraine.
Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, announced at the Brussels meeting that she would depart for Washington the next day, for mid-week meetings with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other officials, to set them straight. When asked about President Trump being in a “disinformation bubble,” when it comes to Russia, Kallas agreed, “If [we] look at the messages that come from the United States, then it is clear that the Russian narrative is there, very strongly represented.”
Thus, Kallas adds to the European pilgrimage to Washington this week, beginning with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House yesterday, pushing against the U.S. and Russia conferring for the purpose of ending the Ukraine strife.
In dramatic opposition to the European war-making madness, Russian and Chinese diplomats at the United Nations spoke out in favor of initiatives to settle Ukraine, however preliminary they may be. After the UN Security Council passed a U.S.-sponsored resolution yesterday calling for a resolution of the Ukraine-Russia conflict (with France and the U.K. abstaining), Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said, “The text adopted now is not ideal, but it is, in fact, the first attempt to adopt a constructive and future-oriented product of the Council—talking about the path to peace—rather than escalating the conflict….” He termed the text “a starting point,” and called for “constructive cooperation” to make it succeed.
Chinese Ambassador to the UN Fu Cong, explained why China supported the U.S. resolution. He said, “China supports the U.S.-Russia agreement to start peace talks. China expects all parties and stakeholders to participate in the peace talks at an appropriate time….” He called out Europe, saying, “As the fighting is taking place on European soil, Europe ought to play its part for peace, to jointly address the root causes of the crisis….” It is notable that Fu said China has been asked to help. “China stands ready to continue to play a constructive role in the political settlement of the crisis at the request of the parties concerned, taking into consideration the concerns of the international community, especially those of the Global South.” Yesterday, President Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping had a discussion by phone.
A special contribution to widen this “path toward peace,” comes in the United States today, with the release of The LaRouche Organization’s new broadside, titled, “For America’s 250th Birthday: Celebrate American Independence! End the U.S.-British Special Relationship!” There will be a rally distribution of it tomorrow, Wednesday, in Washington, D.C., the day before Prime Minister “Sir” Keir Starmer arrives at the White House.
