Bombs damaging gas pipelines. What will be the next target? Submarine internet connections? By now the vulnerability of the global society should be obvious. Also far below the threshold of a direct full scale war between the big powers, our intertwined and complex world can be seriously damaged by small actions.
Thus, also without military counterattack, a power under pressure has possibilities
for striking back, possibilities unparalleled in history.
Some East European countries are closing their borders for Russian refugees fleeing military recruitment for the war in Ukraine. Embarrassing indeed! This shows that we are talking about a generalized racism against all Russians, even opponents of the enemy in Moscow.
Earlier I predicted that the Russian invasion would westernize
East Europe politically and culturally. Several developments and not least that
borders are being closed for Russians turning westwards give doubt concerning
the cultural aspect. Instead, returning Russian refugees to Russia shows that
these East European countries mentally are approaching rather than distancing
themselves from Russia.
If also Ukraine were to join the EU, then the Union
would have a giant Eastern LGBT-free region breaking down democracy and abusing
Brussels in their fight against Russia, against all Russian and against all
Russians. This even though the eastern region in internal politics and culture would
resemble Russia closely…
