Patrik Baab: Trump’s Clock Is Ticking… EU Doubles Down, Russia Unmoved

A stark warning from a German journalist on the Ukraine war’s devastating trajectory. He argues the conflict is a U.S.-led proxy war against Russia, with Europe—especially Germany—acting as a compliant vessel. The German leadership, he claims, is "transatlantically corrupted," sacrificing national interests and public will to serve U.S. geopolitical and economic goals, including deindustrializing Germany and reviving its military-industrial complex. Propaganda dominates mainstream media, while the public remains misinformed and apathetic. The war, he says, is already lost by NATO’s standards, yet leaders refuse to negotiate, ignoring Russia’s clear demands: Ukrainian neutrality, recognition of annexed territories, and regime change in Kiev. With trust destroyed and talks superficial, escalation—possibly involving NATO—is likely. The speaker sees Germany sleepwalking into a catastrophic war, with no real political opposition and rising nuclear danger. He also condemns European complicity in the Gaza genocide, warning of global moral collapse. Without mass public resistance, he foresees a Third World War, urging awareness and action before it's too late.
