Professor Ling-chi Wang of UC Berkeley: I am glad Angela Merkel finally broke her silence on on the background leading to the Ukraine war now raging in Eastern Europe. 加州大學伯克利分校王靈智教授：我很高興前德國總理默克爾終於打破了她對烏克蘭戰爭在東歐肆虐的背景的沉默
The video is relatively long,. There is little on what Merkel said and a lot, in fact too much, commentaries a several other issues. But the essence of what Merkel is clear. Recent high-profile public blaming of Merkel for the Ukraine war by Zelensky and Western commentators have been quite nasty and inconsistent with a series of key decisions made in the past decade or so have finally prompted her to speak out. From her insiders’s point of view, the destructive war in Ukraine and current oil and gas crisis were avoidable.
Yet, the West, from Biden to NATO to the U.S. Congress, does not have the slightest interest in examining what led up to the Russian military intervention in Ukraine and the West’s rather systematic all-out attack on Russia and Putin and how the explosive war can be brought to an end. Democrats and Republicans alike have been united in intensifying the war, not just the military confrontation on the ground in Ukraine, but the worldwide financial, commercial, and political war against Russia and it ally, China. The latter war, a world war, is far more serious and ruinous than what is being fought in Ukraine. In fact, the ground war has become secondary to the other non-military war. The U.S. has been escalating this latter war everyday. Congress has been agitating and escalating everyday for more severe punitive actions and the media, liberal and conservative alike, have been doing their utmost to arouse public anger and support for more and more aggressive actions against Russia.
Where it will lead the world into is dangerously alarming, to say the least. Will it trigger a WW III? We don’t know for sure because we do not know what Biden and NATO want to get out of not just the ground war in Ukraine, but more importantly, nor do we know what he wants from the other more serious, global war. If China is Biden’s real enemy of the U.S., as he has repeatedly told the American people, the Ukraine war is just a preview of the greater world war to come.
