Addressing the German parliament on Thursday, Chancellor Angela Merkel warned of a “catastrophe” unless Russia backs down. “Ladies and gentlemen, if Russia continues on its course of the past weeks, it will not only be a catastrophe for Ukraine,” she said. “We would not only see it, also as neighbors of Russia, as a threat. And it would not only change the European Union’s relationship with Russia… No, this would also cause massive damage to Russia, economically and politically.” With staggering hypocrisy, Merkel is standing reality on its head. It is Germany and the US that are acting as the aggressors, backing and organizing a putsch led by fascist groups in Ukraine, the descendants of political forces Nazi Germany relied upon to commit horrible crimes during World War II. It doing so, it is the Western powers that are reviving the criminal methods of 20th century imperialist politics to secure their geo-strategic aims in Europe...” This will develop into greater shocks to the already fragile world economy, viz. capitalism-imperialism. Not to mention further wars, growth of fascism, and the eventual resistance to both. As Lenin said in 1915, this truly is an epoch of wars, revolutions, and the proletariat’s struggle for power. We can support neither Russian imperialism, nor the western imperialists. For it is the working class who will pay and who can put an end to this. wsws.org/en/articles/2014/03/14/ukra-m14.html
