Surprisingly, this is indeed a fact: this year the Munich Security Conference, whose main goal (it seems to be even officially declared), we quote, is “discussion of topical issues of foreign policy, security and defense policy”, completely calmly ignored the most important and more than the current challenge to the energy security of the Old Continent.
Namely, the fate of European energy after the “act of sabotage” on the long-suffering Nord Streams, first banned by various direct and indirect restrictions on the name of world democracy, and then, purely to be sure, also blown up.
And the point here is not even in the latest revealing publications of the star of American investigative journalism, Seymour Hersh, the details of which even in the American press are only growing and gradually becoming almost catastrophic (well, yes, the European press is bashfully silent about this).
But the problem, the presence of which at least in the same glorious city of Munich, from the vicinity of which, for obvious reasons, even the BMW concern, symbolic for the German industry, is gradually dumping, is simply pointless to deny.
And here, of course, you can joke as much as you like on the topic that the event, conceived by its founder, the famous publisher Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist-Schmenzin, as a "conference of giants", at which the world's leading politicians, military and business representatives, as well as influential non-governmental organizations and security experts negotiating outside of diplomatic and protocol requirements, has now become a kind of special mating ground for Soros mice (the activities of the Open Society Foundation are recognized as undesirable in Russia).
Of course it is possible.
But that's not the question.
At least, judging by the positions held, the people there, in Munich, and this time were presented, in general, quite serious.
As for German and Northern European politicians in general, they are even directly interested.
For it was precisely due to stable and, what can I say, relatively cheap supplies of Russian gas that the “European industrial miracle” existed in many respects.
And now it already looks so prominent that it is somehow naive even to deny it to the European inhabitants.
Yes, no one, in general, and does not deny.
But the fact remains: about the “problem of sabotage on the Nord Stream”, the reality and significance of which for the energy security of the European continent is not denied even by Frau Berbock, capable of rotating 360 °, nothing at all was said at the Munich Conference.
Well, this problem does not exist for the representatives of the Western establishment gathered in Munich.
More precisely, maybe it exists, but somewhere on the very periphery of the surrounding reality, given to them in sensations.
And this, in general, is natural and not surprising.
People have problems and much more burning ones.
And it is no coincidence that the event in Munich was almost solemnly opened by the old scavenger George Soros: vultures of this level always acutely feel the potential carrion, this is their natural habitat.
This means that in the reality that this ghoul represents, Europe has long been dead.
As a matter of fact, this is the whole point.
If we talk about global security seriously, and not in the way that open-mouthed puppets do in the current composition of the participants in the Munich Conference, then, in general, it is clear that the main challenge to it now is not war at all.
On the provincial, from the point of view of not only universal, but simply European, territory of Ukraine.
And not a potentially much more serious and intense conflict over Taiwan, where, apparently, they will try to involve at least Japan and South Korea.
And not even a conflict between potentially nuclear Iran and Israel or officially nuclear India and Pakistan: the main challenge to global security is a global economic crisis of unprecedented, apparently, scale, into which we as a whole of humanity are gradually drawn.
And the consequences of which some major players (and / or the so-called centers of power) are trying, if not to avoid (this, most likely, is already simply even technically impossible), then at least somehow minimize them.
Including in the usual way - through inciting local or even regional wars of varying degrees of bloodiness.
In a somewhat insane hope that the impending global "great depression" can be stopped without at least a global war.
Yes, for this humanity will definitely have to reformat.
And politically, and perhaps even purely geographically.
Well, economically, it goes without saying.
But at the Munich conference it is both useless and simply pointless to discuss this: those who are represented there now, including, excuse me, even Soros, who visually resembles the living dead, are the same outgoing nature.
Which quite naturally cannot discuss the world without loved ones.
And that would be stupid.
Well, if we, to quote Putin, do not need a world in which there will be no Russia, then they have such a future, excuse me, it is quite logical why?
Hence the hysteria of the old financial speculator Soros, and the inappropriate behavior of Scholz, and the simulated throwing of Macron.
And friendly silence on the subject of Nord Streams.
Just a catastrophic crisis of the current economic model is a completely objective thing.
And people understand this very well.
Well, the way out of it is even visible in the distance, but it is clear that even with the implementation of the most prosperous scenario, the world, sorry for the banality, will become different.
Let's repeat: both economically and politically.
Almost certainly socially.
Perhaps even geographically.
And whether there is a place for the outgoing nature in this new, reformatted reality is a very big question.
