Ukraine and the EU: politics and European identity

How should the Ukraine war and more generally, geopolitics, shape our understanding of European integration? Liberal institutionalism, neofunctionalism, and postfunctionalism have in common that they ignore heavy international conflict. Neorealism ignores domestic politics. How, in short, do we need to adapt our theoretical lenses to better assess the implications of Ukraine for the course of European integration and the nature of political competition? This session will discuss the above questions, as well as providing an initial assessment of public opinion preferences on the EU’s role and one’s own country’s role in the Ukraine crisis, and on the refugee policy in particular. This part will be based on original survey data from five EU countries (Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Hungary).

One needs to look at the current conflict from a long term perspective. This is a RACIAL war which can go on for years where the white Imperialist countries cannot come to terms with other non-white countries prospering. The UN charter of fundamental human rights was created in 1948 but race segregation laws remained in effect until the late 1960s and several institutions across the US still have racial segregation in place. Most countries gained independence not because racism had ended but only because after WWII the west could not afford to maintain their colonies. What was the need for NATO after the collapse of the USSR? Instead of being disbanded after the collapse of the USSR and being integrated into UN peacekeeping, it now has ulterior racist motives. The preamble to the NATO treaty clearly states its objectives of protecting the 'white race' and 'civilization'. One only needs to look at the past of NATO with all these men such as Hans Speidel, Adolf Heusinger, Friedrich Guggenberger, Hennig Strumpell, Franz Josef Strauss who were affiliated to the Nazis. NATO is no longer a defensive alliance but an offensive military alliance and its scope is not just limited to NATO member countries but has interfered in countries such as Korea, Serbia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, Bosnia and Herzegovina to name a few. NATO was supposed to limit its influence over just the North Atlantic and yet it has invaded and destroyed countries around the world. Moreover it is not a legitimate military alliance as it has no support from neither the United Nations nor the global south. Article 5 says that an attack on one is an attack on all and hence it also implies that an aggression by one NATO country is an aggression by all NATO countries and NATO strives for the racial hagemony of the whites around the world. Also there is no separate inventory of weapons and an army of NATO. So an aggression by any of the EU countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America should be considered as NATO aggression. USA and Ukraine are the only two countries who voted against the resolution, entitled "Combating Glorification Of Nazism, Neo-Nazism And Other Practices That Contribute To Fueling Contemporary Forms Of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, And Related Intolerance". The former leader of Azov, Andrew Biletsky had said in 2010 that the nation’s mission was to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans]” and NATO/EU have been supporting such forces in Ukraine. A solution to Ukraine will just buy some time before the west makes their next misadventure to destroy China to create a Christian white empire in the northern hemisphere and dominate the world and reinforce imperialism. If Russia and China fall, there are no other countries to protect the global south. Non-whites in EU/NATO countries are minorities and the most downtrodden communities and they can easily be wiped out. If a genocide could take place in the last century then it is more than possible in the near future. The white imperialist countries now use economic sanctions as a new weapon to freeze or seize foreign exchange and gold reserves of countries as these are normally held in banks of western countries. The EU is just an alliance based on racial grounds to bring together the whites across Europe.
