Berlin, Germany (Weltexpress). Much is being written by wage slaves of the gap-filling and lying media about the meeting between delegations led by Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, and Donald Trump, President of the United States. Less is being written about the history that led to it.
One of the few intelligent articles is the editorial in the China Daily newspaper (16 August 2025). Here’s a quote from it: “The Ukraine crisis is the result of decades of geopolitical tensions and numerous claims related to the five phases of NATO’s eastward expansion, the deep-rooted confrontation between the US and Russia, and the growing geopolitical rivalry that has led to the complete destruction of the security architecture in Europe. The presence of US and NATO weapons on the battlefield has further exacerbated the problem. What the world is seeing today is not an isolated event, but the culmination of a series of conflicts that have been building up for years. It would therefore be wrong to expect that the ice that has formed in Europe over many years could melt in Alaska in a single day.”
The root cause of the so-called Ukraine war is the greed of the capitalists. It is greed coupled with the power and domination of the Yankee imperialists in general and the Yankee financial imperialists in particular. They demanded and promoted the root cause: The advance of US troops with the UK in tow, along with their vassal troops from the vassal states in the Atlantic Pact war alliance, on Russia.
Capitalists and their agents in the state of the Federal Republic of Germany were also to blame for this. Those primarily responsible are individuals in the state and capital with departments of science and research (appointed officials), politics (cartel parties) and the press (main media outlets). The guilty parties therefore include Christians, socialists, olive greens and high earners from the usual unity parties in Germany
It comes as no surprise that the warmongers are also the repopulators and destroyers of nation states, peoples and families, because capital knows neither skin colour nor gender.
