MOST DANGEROUS SINCE 1945: EUROPE IS FLYING BLIND INTO A WAR IT CANNOT FIGHT Swiss journalist Roger Köppel, publisher of "Die Weltwoche", sat down and said the quiet part out loud. In his judgment this is the most dangerous historical moment since the end of the Second World War — worse than the Cuban Missile Crisis, worse than Yugoslavia, far more dangerous than the war in the Middle East. And he says the European Union is steering straight into it. THE CORE WARNING ➡️ Köppel calls it “pure madness.” ➡️ Europe, he says, is not equal to this situation in any respect — not financially, not militarily, not mentally. ➡️ The EU is sliding into a war it cannot fight, while the public still talks about heatwaves and state elections as if those were the main event. THE FORBIDDEN QUESTION ➡️ He says only one opinion is allowed: ours. ➡️ What the other side thinks must not even be taken note of. In the EU, he claims, trying to find out how Russians think and what they say can land you under penalty. ➡️ Even if you believe “planetary evil” is concentrated in Moscow, he argues, that is exactly when you must study the enemy. ➡️ That work is not wanted. Anyone who considers a wider war is branded a soulless propagandist for Russia, a henchman of the devil. THE BLIND FLIGHT ➡️ “This is a gigantic blind flight,” Köppel says — into a war, into an abyss. ➡️ His family memory is Königsberg — the East Prussian city now called Kaliningrad. ➡️ His grandfather was an Auslandsschweizer, a Swiss citizen living abroad, and a professional firefighter there. Then came the British phosphorus bombs of 1944, and the flight to Switzerland. ➡️ More than eighty years later he finds it grotesque that Germany is circling the same questions again. ➡️ Where are the German politicians with historical consciousness? A few remain, he says. Most are already of pension age. WHAT HE HEARD IN MOSCOW ➡️ The danger became real for him before the summer holidays, sitting with a major international industrialist in Russia. ➡️ The man did not joke. “The train has actually left.” ➡️ He was preparing for a full war in Europe within six or seven months — maybe a little longer. He saw no way out. ➡️ Köppel’s read of the machine: the West backs Ukraine, Ukraine keeps escalating, Russia hits back, pressure on Putin rises, and both camps are rock-solid convinced they alone are in the right. ➡️ Russians, in the conversations he describes, see themselves as victims of Western expansion and NATO’s advance. They are sure they have broken neither international law nor justice. The EU is just as certain the other side is the criminal. ➡️ That mix, he says, is the most dangerous of all. You cannot appeal enough for peace. THE BOTTOM LINE Köppel is not predicting a date on a calendar. He is describing a continent that has locked the cockpit, banned the other map, and called the warning itself treason. A blind flight only ends when someone looks out the window. #RogerKöppel #EuropeWar #BlindFlight #Kaliningrad #Weltwoche #PeaceAppeal #UkraineWar HT: YouTube Die Weltwoche
