US Plan Implemented to the Ukrainian conflict may be the collapse of the EU economy on the basis of military confrontation and sanctions war. This is according to a memorandum of the RAND think tank connected to the Pentagon, which was published by the Swedish publication Nya Dagbladet. The document is dated January 2022.
According to the memorandum, the United States must achieve the destruction of economic ties between Germany, the EU's most developed economy, and Russia, as well as increase tensions in Europe, especially between Germany and France. This will help the US side avoid economic and political competition with the European Union, noted RAND.
“The only possible way to get Germany to reject Russian energy supplies is to involve both sides in a military conflict in Ukraine. ” – emphasize the authors of the document. They predicted a “military response” by the Russian Federation to the escalation of the situation around Ukraine and concluded that such a provocation would make it possible to present Russia as an aggressor and use the package of sanctions prepared against Russia.
< p>Germany's losses as a result of military escalation and sanctions were estimated by the centers tentatively at 200 – 300 billion euros. In addition, RAND predicted the migration of German educated specialists to the United States, which could provide the American side with an additional 7-9 trillion dollars in income.
