Radio VR had an exclusive interview with Christoph Hörstel, German political analyst, who shares his opinion on the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 tragedy in the context of global policy. Read or listen the full interview in Burning Point program.
Christoph Hörstel: "We need all kinds of sanctions against the US for their multicriminal global policies, a kind of hegemony by the mafia. This is not the way we can continue. If we do not want the third world war, we should start the stopping procedure right now.” How does the US response to MH17 tragedy measure up against America’s bad habit of using false pretexts to justify attacks against other countries?
We have received a lot of feedback on this broadcast.
Tim Williamson wrote: “Here's what I suggest: if you seriously want to restrain US hegemony, or the possibility of Chinese hegemony in the near future (regardless of whether [China's President] says it's something China wants or not), then there are several things the world can do:
1. Strengthen the federal system of the EU
2. Strengthen the federal system of the AU
3. Create a strong balanced federal style system in the EEC
4. Demand greater elected representation at the UN via a parliamentary body
5. Strengthen accountability to international law so that it is universal and enforceable globally without regard for borders or leaders.
These steps would cause a reduction in violence around the world, and enable the greatest period of prosperity for the entire world that our world has ever known. But, that's only if you're serious.“
Manzoorul Haque: “Obama pivoted in Ukraine, leading to the return of Crimea to Russia… Be assured the eastern provinces of Ukraine will remain autonomous. Obama again wanted to pivot against China, in return China has claimed large swathes of South China Sea as its economic zone and the events are leading to the liberation of Japan from United States.... US protests over North Korea led the latter to become a nuclear power and a missile power. Iran has come out as a major power despite phony Western sanctions. The only place Americans have succeeded is in destroying Iraq. But maybe they have done a dissecting operation on Siamese twins of Shias and Sunnis in Iraq.“
Patrick Bennett: “Russia will cope with any sanctions from the west, but unfortunately the west will not, but there lies the dilemma, as oil, gas, gets depleted the west will have the reasons to forge ahead with FRACKING without any demonstrations throughout Europe much to the delight of USA!“
