Russia holds the key to German sovereignty — Pepe Escobar

Summary:
Pepe Escobar emphasizes correctly power (soveriegnty) but de-emphasizes money. The adage is to follow the power and the money. European business in particular those of "old Europe" (France and Germany) are very much committed to not loosing the Eurasian and Asian markets. Through economic warfare, chiefly sanctions, the US is presenting the choice as "us or them." While the EU and NATO bureaucracies are chiefly interested in power and are committed Atlanticists, the money is looking both east and west. The Russian and Chinese leadership know this, of course.This presents a more complex picture than Pepe Escobar paints in this post.The Vineyard of the SakerRussia holds the key to German sovereigntyPepe Escobar
