Patrick Lawrence: Europe’s Self Destruction

October 22, 2022

Despite the economically disastrous impact the Nord Stream pipeline
sabotage will have on Europe, Western media still holds its tongue about
it.

Absolutely remarkable, Western media’s determination to ignore the recent Baltic Sea detonations, which knocked out the Nord Stream I and II gas pipelines. A major piece of Europe’s energy infrastructure, the joint property of Germany and Russia, has been destroyed. Any chance that
Russian gas transmissions westward will be resumed is off the table. The Continent is now sent on a desperate search for new sources of natural
gas, inevitably at higher prices. I cannot think of many stories that are
more significant.

…

“We are risking a massive deindustrialization of the European continent,” Belgium’s prime minister, Alexander De Croo, told the Financial Times recently.

…

The last generation of European leaders with any experience of acting independently of the U.S.—Churchill, Anthony Eden, de Gaulle, et al. —passed into history during the early part of the Cold War, Anderson
astutely pointed out. No generation since has any experience other than
as dependents sheltering under the American security umbrella. They know nothing else. They have never spoken in voices of their own.
