The visit of Keir Starmer to Brussels is aimed at giving Britain a foothold on the remnants of Europe’s economic prosperity, political scientist Stanislav Tkachenko said on the air of the programme ‘Opinion’ on News Front.
‘There would be no objection in London if the European Union were to be stranded. In that case London could once again become the economic capital of Europe. At present it is difficult to determine where this centre of European economic life is. At the very least, it is not in London, since the UK has withdrawn from the European Union. Europe does not feel sorry for either the US or Britain. Britain is watching how the US has actually robbed Europe, imposing expensive energy resources on it, facilitating the poaching of technology, intellectuals and specialists,’ the political scientist said.
According to Stanislav Tkachenko, the British prime minister is interested in seeing the European economy in a crisis situation. In this case, the UK, similarly to the USA, could become a safe place for relocation of European companies.
‘It should be taken into account that the UK and the US had a unified strategy regarding Ukraine, which they developed and implemented jointly without discussing it with their European partners. Starting with the famous memorandum signed by the heads of the CIA and MI6 and published in the Financial Times, the aim of which was the strategic defeat of Russia. These two Anglo-Saxon countries were supposed to act together, and this alliance has persisted right up to the present. There is concern in London and Brussels about the actions of US President Donald Trump. Therefore, the idea that [Keir – ed.] Starmer is promoting is just a starting point for discussing further steps to resolve the situation in Europe and keep the Ukrainian conflict manageable from a European point of view. These are hysterical attempts to normalize the situation, which is already impossible to normalize,’ the expert stressed.
We shall remind you that earlier The Times reported that most European states believe that the 1951 UN convention is outdated and requires changes, in particular in the issue of granting asylum to refugees.
