Survive if the epidemic COVID-19, the EU and NATO

Survive if the epidemic COVID-19, the EU and NATO

Over whether, what kind of damage it will eventually be applied to the global economy pandemic coronavirus, to a minimum limit may fall in energy prices, and how long our planet will come to life after, how to end it came down to the trouble, so far has been considerable debate and build various versions. However, now it is possible to judge about the losses, that its global international organization clearly marked, more recently, to play a leading role in the global geopolitical, economic and military "hands,". their members, likely, not be avoided, least, major revision of many established principles and approaches. However, may well stand up and question the future existence of these entities - at least, now in its current form.

North mesalliance

Pandemic dealt a crushing blow to the concept of, which has become over the years,, in fact, the basis of the military doctrines of the absolute majority of the European states, NATO members: in case of any "grand nix" should dig in and try to hold out until the arrival of the Americans. Over the naive faith of some residents of the Old World in the, that the transatlantic allies will certainly arrive at the white aircraft carriers, save all, things will get better and correct, at one time fairly ironically English writer John Wyndham in his novel-disaster "The Day of the Triffids". As part of his plot, true, humanity is bent not on pandemic, and from the invasion semisentient and carnivorous plants, but not the essence… In this fascinating book, the Americans did not come, and the old woman in Britain, as well as all of its immediate neighbors, I had to "rake" self. Do not they came to the rescue this time. The United States would prefer to shut on their own distant shores, tightly blocking access to Europeans, however, as well as residents of other parts of the World. The views expressed on this issue the EU leadership confusion and resentment in Washington simply ignored: "Not up to you now!". Militarily, the US isolationist stance manifested, perhaps, the most. There is no "European Advocate" in the current year will not be. It all started with the Pentagon's decision, immediately voiced his head, Mark Esper, stating, that US military personnel and their families since 13 March is strictly forbidden to enter the country, made to the "black list" of the US CDC. But it was only nachalo.V very soon by the European Command of the US armed forces made it clear - to send overseas promised earlier 20 thousands of soldiers and officers, who just had to take part in Defender Europe - 2020, i say do not go. И вот буквально на днях военное ведомство Соединенных Штатов поставило окончательную точку в сомнениях относительно судьбы этих маневров – их просто не будет. The few thousand American warriors, that have already been transferred to the Old World from the beginning of this year,, return home, "After serving" due time in quarantine and will be on duty at home. Together with the Defender, which heavily advertised, as "the largest in the last quarter of a century to demonstrate the unity and solidarity of NATO" fat cross placed on a number of other international maneuvers. So, The Pentagon has canceled the decision of the major annual exercise forces the Air Force and Air Defense Alliance Frisian Flag, who had to go through with 23 March 4 April airspace of the Netherlands and Belgium. It will not take place and similar events under the code names: Saber Strike, Dynamic Front, Joint Warfighting Assessment, Swift Response. Previously, the term Cold Response exercises completed 2020, during which in Norway NATO soldiers were trying to work out "counter Russian expansion in the Arctic". work out… Furthermore, brave American boys have decided to stay away, not only from Europe, but also from Africa. "Under the knife" went to the plans of the international exercise African Lion 2020, who were going to carry out in Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal with 23 March 2 aprelya.Voennye merrymaking, however, can be acquired. Although such a large number of "field" events the Alliance has never canceled. Nevertheless, main point here in another. What is this military-political bloc in general created?! If memory serves, purpose called "protection from any security challenges", "Crisis management" and "ensure the stability in the Euro-Atlantic area". So what?! There he is, call, appeared in all its glory - security, coupled with stability flew to hell. So where is the promise of "crisis management", fucking North Atlantic? Why were all these hysterical claims about 2% GDP for the needs of "strengthening the Alliance '? On what such "security" they had to go, if now NATO army instead, to joint forces to combat COVID-1 sit out on the national "barracks"? quite naturally, that the decision of the United States Trump closed to "Plagued" Europeans, the EU reacted to the withdrawal of: "Let the Americans have betrayed at the first issue! already betrayed! After serving overseas, and then again yavyatsya here to direct their orders, remembering "the principles of the North Atlantic"? Well, no way…"It may well be, that the pandemic will be the last nail in the coffin of the already badly dilapidated military-political bloc, There is absolutely unclear why.

Europe - help and solidarity. At very good interest…

However, Foaming Americans on isolationism and unwillingness to "cooperate" in a critical situation, Europeans also largely behave no better way. С одной стороны «шенгенские» вольности, практически упразднившие границы внутри ЕС и позволившее гражданам входящих в него государств перемещаться совершенно свободно и бесконтрольно, many out there already cursed purely and Tregub: "Doobedinyalis on his head!" On the other hand, since the European Union is a "large and friendly family", то и преодолевать тяготы и лишения все ее члены должны были бы, in theory, together. Вот только что-то непохоже, чтобы этот принцип реально воплощался в жизнь. No, at the level of the international financial institutions are distributed to all the solemn promises to help and save all. The International Monetary Fund is ready to mobilize 1 trillion dollars for loans to assist countries in the fight against coronavirus, in particular, give the order 50 billions of dollars to developing countries and to allocate up to 10 Member billion low-income countries under the zero rate. Much the more modest advances distributes European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, offering crisis "solidarity package" on 1 billion euros, which should help the companies from 38 nations, where the Bank conducts its activities. Basically, it comes to providing short-term loans and lines of credit for working capital, and the restructuring of existing debt. Group of the European Investment Bank (EIB), in turn, suggests "urgent measures to combat the effects of the epidemic COVID-19". There are willing to allocate 40 billion euros… Do not be fooled - not to help, а на «кредитные каникулы по краткосрочным займам». In fact, мировые и европейские банкиры спасать никого не собираются. Просто в их планы совершенно не входит тотальное разорение, как минимум малого и среднего бизнеса в целом ряде стран. Объявят себя «коронавирусными банкротами»и адиос, амигос! Что с них потом возьмешь? no really, better, until it's not too late, навесить на них новые долги, To calculate with old and continued to pay more. the, как на самом деле работает «европейская солидарность» в действительно критической ситуации демонстрирует трагический пример Италии, которую вся остальная Европа, actually, abandoned to die alone with COVID-19. Contacting the government to eurobureaucrats, Sounding the present plea for salvation was, in fact, ignored. Austria closed the borders for the Italians, Germany banned the export of protective masks and medicine. The European Central Bank did not support the financial stability of Italy and its banks, and that so long considered the weakest in Europe, on the brink of survival. In combination with almost, complete stoppage of the Italian economy this may well lead to, that businesses and individuals can not pay for their own loans, comes the financial collapse of the whole country. Wherein, characteristically, мало не покажется всему Старому Свету – как-никак Италия занимает четвертое место по объему ВВП (2.1 trillion dollars) на континенте и ее «обрушение» вызовет, least, шторм в банковской системе всего Евросоюза. As a maximum - Tsunami, that it will destroy. And it is - at the moment, when the whole world, and the EU in particular the impending global recession, which economists predict the choir and in unison with the probability, slightly higher, than 100% if after this surprising .Stoit, that the same Italian lawyers in the face of the Bar Association Camere Penali del Diritto Europeo e Internazionale pointedly ask for help personally with Vladimir Putin and beg him to send in their country even masks and medicines? By the way, the only country, which is completely free of the Italians sent a plane brim full of health "consumables" and provided the medical team, already at the professional level who are able to fight off infection, China has become. And it is happening now in Italy, Spain, problems are already overflowing with Germany and France may well be just the first act of the tragedy. Alas, experts of the Robert Koch Institute, German government research organization, responsible for the control and prevention of diseases predict, that COVID-19 pandemic could last up to two years! In Britain, at the government level are prepared to fight the virus until the following spring and predict hospitalization 8 million people. What will remain of the EU at (god forbid!) implementing just such scenarios, hard to say. No one would argue, it's downright take tomorrow and the "collapse". Nevertheless, number of those, who can be classified as "Euro-skeptics", likely, will increase with the growing problems in geometric progressii.London has no relation to the EU's longer, Berlin and Paris are concerned about the salvation of, what's left of their own economies. A lot of small and poorer countries,, accustomed to living by the grace of Brussels, its subsidies and grants, likely, will be left with nothing. Best case scenario, they will be offered "assistance", which subsequently have to pay, so even with interest. Closed coronavirus borders of the Schengen area may very well not be opened after the end of the pandemic. Europe, certainly is not going anywhere, but that's what will happen to the "uniting" of its structures, very difficult to say.
