No sería raro que Estados Unidos quiera torcer la voluntad europea: ya lo hizo con el cambio de gobierno en Ucrania en el 2014 y con el famoso "Fuck you" a los europeos de la encargada de la diplomacia de Estados Unidos en Europa, Victoria Nuland. De aquí la importancia de la columna de Der Spiegel que se reproduce a continuación y que firma "el staff de Der Spiegel". Es una acusación contra el General de Estados Unidos Breedlove (¡Qué apellido!), Comandante de las fuerzas de la OTÁN, un halcón que según Der Spiegel se ha encargado de propalar noticias falsas sobre el curso de los acontecimientos en Ucrania, en el ánimo de inducir a una acción más dura de Occidente en contra de Rusia.
Con este artículo de Der Spiegel, Alemania parece decir ¡Basta! y establece un curso diferente al de Estados Unidos. No podía ser de otro modo: los intereses de Europa son radicalmente diferentes a los de Estados Unidos en el conflicto de Ucrania la grave crisis que hoy amenaza la paz mundial y que si no se controla adecuadamente puede llevar a un enfrentamiento entre Rusia y Estados Unidos de consecuencias funestas para la Humanidad.
Breedlove's Bellicosity: Berlin
Alarmed by Aggressive NATO
Stance on Ukraine

Top NATO commander General Philip Breedlove has raised hackles in Germany with his public statements about the Ukraine crisis. |
US President Obama supports Chancellor Merkel's efforts at finding a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis. But hawks in Washington seem determined to torpedo Berlin's approach. And NATO's top commander in Europe hasn't been helping either.
It was quiet in eastern Ukraine last Wednesday. Indeed, it was another quiet day in an extended stretch of relative calm. The battles between the Ukrainian army and the pro-Russian separatists had largely stopped and heavy weaponry was being withdrawn. The Minsk cease-fire wasn't holding perfectly, but it was holding.
On that same day, General Philip Breedlove, the top NATO commander in Europe, stepped before the press in Washington. Putin, the 59-year-old said, had once again "upped the ante" in eastern Ukraine -- with "well over a thousand combat vehicles, Russian combat forces, some of their most sophisticated air defense, battalions of artillery" having been sent to the Donbass. "What is clear," Breedlove said, "is that right now, it is not getting better. It is getting worse every day."German leaders in Berlin were stunned. They didn't understand what Breedlove was talking about. And it wasn't the first time. Once again, the German government, supported by intelligence gathered by the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's foreign intelligence agency, did not share the view of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR).
