The War-Crisis Nexus in Europe: Germany, Europe and the War in Ukraine

[@aleaiactaest8354]

Excellent discussion.

[@sowelie1]

Excellent conversation, one of the channels I see as existing only for me and 50 other people

[@prutzchristine5890]

And me, listening from Germany, the only one here:-)

Listening to this talk reminds me of the adage - war makes the state and the state makes war. Europe overestimates its problems and underestimates its capability. All that is missing is resolve.

[@kofferfischii]

The contrary is true.

Are there estimates available for how much the sanctions regime has affected consumer prices? Russia is a major oil and commodities producer. If Russian goods cannot go from point A to point B, but must instead be routed through additional channels (by some reports through India) with additional freight and customs, wouldn't this drive up commodity prices?

[@basanttyagi7516]

Obviously yes. Energy prices are forcing heavy industry to leave Europe to the US and China and taxing European citizens.

I have a question for your guests... How do you see a day after a war stop? Lets say Russia and Ukraine make a negotiated peace... Ukraine will lose four regions and Crimea but in return for peace will not pursue entering NATO... So far so good... Both countries satisfied... Even and Trump... Russia and Ukraine can even make normal diplomatic relations... Will Germany make peace with Russia? Will Germany return Russia hers frozen assets? Will Germany activate again Nordstream? Will Germany play again football with Russia? Personally, I don't think so... If not I think Germany is in big trouble... And the US don't give a shit about that... They plan to instigate a tariffs on German economy...
