European protestors demand an end to anti-Russia sanctions to alleviate cost-of-living crisis.
Written by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher
With winter approaching, Europeans are thinking about how their livelihoods will be affected. Rallies, strikes, demonstrations and protests are gaining momentum as the cost-of-living becomes unbearable. Although European media tried to hide this, even paid local propagandists cannot ignore the growing anger amongst Europeans.
Protests have occurred in Prague, Lisbon, London and many other cities, with people belonging to a wide variety of ideologies, including left and right-wing, and even libertarians and anarchists. Although labelled by the media as Putin’s stooges, name-calling is not having the desired effect, especially as people are united by the fear of winter woes, regardless of political affiliation.
Though attempts are being made to blame the continent’s declining economic situation on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Europeans are no longer accepting this excuse. Europeans are realising that anti-Russian sanctions hit them much harder than the Russians.
Forty percent of Austria’s population does not support anti-Russian sanctions, 51 percent of Italians are against them, and 80 percent of Germans believe that Berlin should not send weapons to Ukraine and instead seek a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine. With these ideas, Europeans are rallying across the continent, with people not being deterred despite being accused of serving Putin.
However, it is the US ruining Europe, something which Moscow itself does not want as it would rather see an independent and prosperous continent. None-the-less, the European elite made an unconditional surrender of their countries and peoples to serve the interests of Washington instead.
It is evident that European protestors are completely devoid of common leadership and clear common goals and strategies. These protests are not an organised mass led by a charismatic leader, but small groups of people, and as already mentioned, from varying political ideologies.
Their potential success remains questionable though since citizens cannot change their leaders until the next election cycle. Germans, for example, were outraged when Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock openly said that she will defend Ukraine’s interests, even against the will of voters. To make matters worse, she made the statement in English, an obvious signalling to Washington. Despite their outrage, Germans cannot remove Baerbock from her post and replace her with another politician until the next election.
Baerbock is hardly alone though when it comes to powerful politicians dismissing the opinion of the people, with only very few exceptions existing in Europe. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of the few exceptions as he prioritises the welfare of his citizens rather than capitulation to American pressure.
In neighbouring Austria, state leaders are now putting pressure on Vienna and are asking federal authorities to negotiate with Moscow. State leaders have a negative attitude towards sanctions, with Upper Austria Governor Thomas Stelzer saying that “nothing is set in stone”. Austria’s approach to sanctions will have to be changed as “they will cause great damage to our lives”, added Stelzer.
Much will also depend on the results of the Italian elections. It appears that most Italians support Russia-friendly parties. There is a serious chance that at the end of September they will win the election and a coalition of Russia-friendly politicians will appear in the Italian Parliament. Giorgia Meloni of “Brothers of Italy” supported Putin’s re-election as president in 2018, Matteo Salvini of “League” became famous for being photographed in Moscow’s Red Square wearing a t-shirt with an image of Putin, and Silvio Berlusconi is introducing himself as the man to improve European-Russian ties.
More importantly, Europeans are beginning to understand that Washington is not a protector, but a dangerous and unscrupulous state that is prioritising its own interests, not Europe’s. Russia at war, whilst Europe cripples itself by arming Ukraine and imposing anti-Russia sanctions, is an ideal scenario for Washington. In this way, not only is one of Washington’s main adversaries bogged down in the conflict with Ukraine and NATO, but it deepens Europe’s status as nothing more than a submissive protectorate
With frustrations and worries reaching boiling point, and the harsh winter only some weeks away, European leaders need to quickly reach a compromise with Moscow to help alleviate the cost-of-living crisis or else citizens will face a suffering, at least at an economic level, not experienced since World War II.
The West are abject cowards and base servants of the USA they are willing to destroy their economy and their citizens in the subservience towards the USA their Master- Caesar- Emperor – time to say NO !!!
Check how they played Dominique Strauss-Kahn. This is how the deep state controls all these minions. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-19803899.amp

They are not leaders they are minions of WEF selected through programs like Young Global Leaders, they are all registered as criminals of some sort, drug addicts, child rapists etc and at the slightest sign of disobedience they would be exposed and prosecuted. Populations are human livestock hold captive by human farms called “states” or countries.
Giorgia Meloni is an Atlanticist and has declared that she wants to ship more weapons to Ukraine. If she will win the election then the Italians will be ruled by another United Snakes puppet like Sanna Manin, Maia Sandu, etc. Have you noticed that Americans have recently been placing women in all government of critical Western countries?
Far right parties in Italy support the fascists of Ukraine. Who wrote the article is not familiar with the Italian political situation. The only anti-NATO/ant-EU party is “Italia Sovrana e Popolare”.
Yes the disciples of Mussolini are never far away in Italy,but the left were always strong thats why the Americans interferred in Italian politics after WW2 until now,its quite possible the Red Brigades were a CIA Gladio operation,or at the very least they were infiltrated by the CIA,
Actually the guillotine does remove leaders from their positions.
The little people of Western Slavelandia are easier to manipulate then a flock of sheep: stay inside! Take the vaxcine! Donate to Ukraine! Go to work! Have children to keep Slavelandia burrying itself into the shithole of WEF! And they just keep going as directed…
Can’t cockroaches live for weeks without their heads?
Prices in the shops here in the UK are going up sometimes twice a week now. My electricity company sent me a letter saying our bill will go up 56% from October 1st.same as the household gas. Food prices for tea red meat and fish all up cooking oil up again and even milk. The western politicians are only interested in their own carrier’s not the welfare of the British people or European people as in the Brussels political elite. They use their police and think that beating people off the streets who protest will keep the Western governments in power. They have a big surprise coming like bonito and his mistress hung from a street lamppost and set alight justice will find these rats in Brussels and the rest of the Western puppets
Yes but the bastards get away with it,i am British and all we hear on the tv its Putins fault,many of the cattle are too thick and pig ignorant to find out what the hells going on,just put on any tv show or radio station like five live or LBC its constant anti Russian bullshit 24/7,its bloody Orwellian.
You may be surprised at just how many people are aware of the msm government media propaganda most people now after the 9/11 Iraq and Afghanistan wars are sick of this non stop war and lies. Along with the covid scam. The riots and major civil disorder will come sooner than they think. They the Western governments don’t have the numbers to contain it And they know it. Food riots looting and a winter of serious discontent
Same here . Yet they send OUR tax money to some corrupted scum and terrorists in fracking Ukraine??
Look to the British media outlets who are using their positions to lie to the British people the BBC tabloid press the guardian newspaper the London telegraph media outlets like this along with their owners and senior editors need to targeted and held to account for their war mongering
I want a refund. I want to send it to the victims of banderite scumbag terrorists. Will they jail me for that? Fuck’em then, I say.
PS: NATO servers have been hosting the Mirotvorets kill list for 8 years now.
Fuck’em indeed.
One can only hope and pray that somehow “we, the people” in the UK, will wake up and get rid of the main political parties in the UK and replace them with a more people oriented government. Sadly, the sheeples are so strongly brainwashed by the sick MSM and devious entrenched government, it is highly unlikely that the status quo will ever be changed. I have written to my local MP about the sickness and hopelessness of providing military support to Ukraine but the response, without any rational logic, has been that he supports the supply and “support” of the Ukrainian government. No word on me pointing out that the Ukraine military and government is filled with Nazi’s, against whom our fathers and forefathers (my father included) fought in WWII. We in Britain are going to suffer increasingly more from these crazy sanctions. We can only hope that the sheeples will wake up sooner rather than later. I for one, am so sick of the lies and deceit from the UK and USA governments, as well as the EU.
Write back to the MP in question and tell him that you and your family will not be voting for him come the next election. Also tell him that you will be asking others in the community not to vote for him or his party.
Fuck the european herds of modern moron slaves… We deserve to freeze along with the terrorists and scoundrels in office and their Handlers!
Unfortunately the scoundrels in office will not freeze or go hungry they are the Rothchild family puppets
It is bankers interest to submit Russian and destroy western middle class
This war is being handled masterfully by Putin. I’m surprised by how many people still think it has anything to do with a battlefield in a 3rd world country though. How’s Putins popularity doing these days? Up last I heard. How’s Boris Johnson(UK)doing? His ruling coalition collapsed. How’s Mario Draghi(Italy) doing? His ruling coalition collapsed. How’s Shinzo Abe(Japan) doing? He was assassinated. All since February and the beginning of the SMO. How is German industry doing? Food prices in the US just recorded the highest year over year inflation since 1979. Gas prices? Electric Prices? McDonalds willingly left their restaurants to a Russian entrepreneur. There is no easier money to be made than selling crap food to Morons and they gave away their corporate franchises. How about Credit Card companies? They charge a transaction fee to the merchant of 2-5% of the sales price for doing nothing. Well not for Visa and Mastercard anymore because they left Russia and gave that racket up to the Russian Mir payment system. Oil and Gas revenue are looking pretty good on Russias income statement. The Wests economic strategy is so piss poor against Russia I half suspect that Zelensky is a double agent. I really like the part where the West cut off mechanical support to Russian airplanes just to impose Visa restrictions on Russians making air travel meaningless anyway. And now Europe is in store for a cold winter. That was always in the cards for them and there was no doubt Russia was going to stop sending gas but now it actually looks like it was the Europeans fault and they brought it on themselves. But hey, 50,000 Ukrainian troops just retook some land completely un-fought having marched off to the winter battlefields against Russian in summer uniforms(OD green) as the power supply behind them providing their logistics is going down. So there’s that.
Dump sob…go to the Family’s of russian soldiers that sacrificed blood and sweat to conquer these areas to begin with and see, how they react to a stupid, civilian assclown pissing on their loved ones sacrifices.
Was empty,not important to begin with…to hell with u.
Shitfront is truely a wasteland and it is shocking that a German ex soldier like me,has more respect for the sacrifices of russian soldiers,than the putler fan boys
Dipshit you’re not German and you are not an ex-soldier haha. You’re 5 years old wannabe Nazi little fag bitch from Romania and total piece of shit troll.
Horrido johoo, daran drauf drüber…dont sing it,bring it.
Dumbass, apart from the huns/ mongols noone fucked up Ivan flatheads worse than us germans…millions of flatheads slaughtered,starved and all of Western soviet bolshivik Union turned into rubel, same during world war 1+ us sending ivans worst wmd ever, Lenin and his bolshivik.
gAnus strap-on you retarded gay whore with multiple personality disorder, Germans were Hunnish slaves you dumb little cocksucker, even Brits call them Huns. Clueless and brainless moron lol
I know you’re frustrated coz your grandma was fucked by 10000 Soviet dogs for 50 long years, pity they didn’t improve your defected DNK (probably Soviet dogs from Ukraine, you’re a retard like them). but you’re not a German or Romanian, you’re just a worthless cocksucker owned by Yanks. So sissy bitch back on your knees and keep drinking their semen for 70 more years instead of farting here from your shithole mouth.
Lol yeah whatever bitch .
Annalena doesn’t give two shits for what you think, or how you vote for that matter. Yours is but to do and die. LOL
The French people majority is happy with this situation. Many many want more of this.
They want more stop of Vladolfs gas price terrorism? Why?
The majority wants more USA power, more Macron, more people in France and more poverty.
EUnuch bureaucrats serve their masters in Washington, not citizens of EU.
🇺🇸 🗽⚡️Wall Street the worst day since June 2020 as inflation reading is hotter than expected. It is reported the Dow dropped more than 1,250 points. Nasdaq drops 632 points.
No to Vladolfs gas price terrorism.
Eat cake, fart a lot. Find a nice warm vent to park your cot.
UK is a joke:
Jimmy Saville’s best mate is now King Another air head blonde with alley cat morals is PM Deputy PM & Health Minister is a cigar smoking obese human slug
A nuclear strike on London by Russia would be a good thing at this point in time!
US economy is in bad shape, to recover they must destroy allies economies first. If europe is in bad shape many many capitals will fly to $$$ US $$$. US can survive only by capital gains to support their tremendous deficit and debit.. They will destroy EU economy but also provoking a China / Taiwan invasion they will put sanctions also there so to destroy Japan and west asia pacific economies.. All the capital will fly to US again and they will survive killing the rest of the world.
EU must die, NATO must be dismantled, Biden and the deep state get sucked into Satan’s anus and Europeans must be governed by honest brokers who passionately care and empathise and place above everything else, the interest and welfare of it’s own citizens.
The US government doesn’t PRIORITIZE IT’S CITIZENS WELL-BEING?
The EU leaders are chatting about it. We have many many problems, refugee problems, travel problems, energy problems. We need to talk about it and talk it over.
