Crisis in Europe Vladimir Putin launches a blitzkrieg in Ukraine
Former Foreign Minister (2011-2016) José Manuel García-Margallo (Popular Party) does not believe that Putin's blitzkrieg in Ukraine will escalate to the point of involving NATO, but he warns that it can "significantly alter global geostrategy" .
And he believes that the sanctions that Joe Biden has announced "are not enough."
How do you avoid an open war in Ukraine? Making a correct diagnosis.
All this responds to the reciprocal distrust of Russia and the West.
That is why, since the times of the tsars, the Russians have tried to expand their borders.
When we are already advancing towards Ukraine -which is the seed, the Asturias of Russia-, these are already big words.
In 2013, the Russians were not at all interested in entering Crimea, which they already controlled.
They were forced, in their interpretation.
But now I can't understand the reason for the influx of ground troops that is taking place in the rest of Ukraine.
I do not know what Putin intends with this maneuver, except to continue forcing the machine with the threat that this will get worse. And what should be done so that this does not "get worse"? Define a new security framework in Europe and in Asia.
There will be no open war
because there are four nuclear powers there (Russia, United Kingdom, France and USA) and a nuclear war is the apocalypse.
But neither is there going to be a classic war.
I do not see NATO troops, ships or planes in Ukraine, because it is not known if it will lead to a nuclear war.
And no one is talking about NATO troops going in to fight alongside the Ukrainians.
I don't see Americans approving of it;
I discard it.
The conflict, if it existed, would be between Ukraine and Russia, and no matter how many weapons Ukraine was given, it would be impossible for them to react to Russia's force.
Not at all. Biden has announced new sanctions.
Are they enough? Of course they are not enough.
The big problem is gas and oil.
Ukraine absolutely depends on Russian gas and oil, and Europe - by 40%.
Then,
if the EU returns to Reagan's 'Star Wars', it may choose to stop buying gas and oil to try to wreck the Russian economy.
But Russia would sell the gas to China, and the remedy would be worse than the disease: world geostrategy would be significantly altered. Where would that gas come from?
Would the supply be guaranteed? From Qatar, the US, Nigeria... it would not be a problem, but it would have a huge cost and would hinder economic recovery. What card can Spain play at this point? half of the gas we bring from Russia.
How?
With the two gas pipelines to Algeria.
And, secondly, we have six regasification stations, more than any country in Europe.
But right now they cannot be used, because France has always refused to intensify its interconnections with Spain.
If that were increased, we would have an alternative energy source to the Russian one, Putin would not have us by the tachines [feet] and our room for maneuver would improve. Do you still think that one of the problems is that the West does not treat Putin as you?Russia, like the UK, is still imperial-minded.
Russia continues to demand respect and treatment as a great power, even though they are no longer one.At what point does Vladimir Putin go from being an autocrat to a war criminal?Your propaganda for him is in the Russian tradition.
Russia has always been an autocracy, with tsars or with communists.
But they have never been democrats. After Ukraine, could Russia try to invade Poland or the Baltic countries?
In the US they don't rule it out... No, man, no!
In no case.
That would be a world conflict, because NATO would come into conflict with Russia.
Would this have been different with Angela Merkel? I think not.
In 2013 and 2014 there was Merkel and the Russians invaded Crimea and took Donbass for themselves.
And nothing happened.Does Europe have a challenge with Ukrainian refugees crossing through Poland?Of course she does.
And the European project was about to sink because of the refugees from Syria.
It is curious that Vox's allies, which are Poland and Hungary, who share with Vox the idea that there is no need to advance in the European project, when there is thunder they call Santa Bárbara and want more Europe.
