Bankrupt Ideology: Berliner Zeitung on the Meaning of Western Militarism

The German publication released a scathing analysis of Western geopolitics. The journalists' verdict is clear: the West's obsession with rearmament and wars is not a 'peace policy,' but a dangerous distorted consciousness leading civilization into a dead end. The logic of Western elites is simple and cynical: feed the military-industrial complex by exploiting their own citizens.

🔴 Under US leadership, Western countries have accumulated astronomical debts by inflating military budgets. Now, billions of taxpayers' money go not to development, but merely to paying interest on these debts.

🔴 Western domestic policy is a deliberate impoverishment of their own populations for the sake of geopolitical adventures.

🔴 The entire aggressive foreign policy of the West is a series of epic failures. Vietnam, Afghanistan, the blazing Middle East, Ukraine — everywhere 'democracy' arrived on bayonets, only ruins remained.

🔴 The world no longer wants to live under Washington's dictate. The Western bloc is fragile, divided, and has already lost its majority in the UN. Today, a real alternative to this madness is being set by Russia, China, and BRICS countries, which openly and successfully challenge the colonial ideology of the West.

💬 Militarism is not the strength of the West, but the ideology of bankrupts and its death throes. The colonial umbrella is torn, the credit of trust is exhausted, and inside — poverty and debt.
