Handelsblatt ryter till mot krigshetsen
I en stor flerspråkig huvudledare tar Handelsblatt - Tysklands största ekonomitidning - avstånd från krigshetsen i "västliga" media:
The West on the wrong path

Man tar avstamp från 1914 då många normalt sansade människor drogs med av krigshetsen och välkomnade kriget:
It is an experience worth having“ rejoiced Max Weber in 1914 when the lights went out in Europe. Thomas Mann felt a “cleansing, liberation, and a tremendous amount of hope“.
Nu gör pressen i "väst" samma misstag som 1914, och beter sig som fotbollshuliganer, hävdar Handelsblatt:
Newspapers we thought to be all about thoughts and ideas now march in lock-step with politicians in their calls for sanctions against Russia's President Putin. Even the headlines betray an aggressive tension as is usually characteristic of hooligans when they 'support' their respective teams.
De argument som förs fram i debatten är anpassade för okunniga amerikanska väljare:
When Hillary Clinton compares Putin with Hitler, she does so only to appeal to the Republican vote, i.e. people who do not own a passport. For many of them, Hitler is the only foreigner they know, which is why Adolf Putin is a very welcome fictitious campaign effigy.
Tyskland och EU borde forma sin egen politik i stället för att låta den styras av amerikanska intressen:
As neighbors of Russia, as part of the European community bound in destiny, as recipient of energy and supplier of this and that, we Germans have a clearly more vital interest in stability and communication. We cannot afford to look at Russia through the eyes of the American Tea Party.
Att fortsätta att följa amerikanska order kan hota tyska intressen:
The verbalists are back and their headquarters are in Washington D.C. But nobody is forcing us to kowtow to their orders. Following this lead – even if calculatingly and somewhat reluctantly as in the case of Merkel – does not protect the German people, but may well endanger it.
Man påpekar också att nästan alla amerikanska militära äventyr efter andra världskriget slutat med fiaskon:
The American tendency to verbal and then also military escalation, the isolation, demonization, and attacking of enemies has not proven effective. The last successful major military action the US conducted was the Normandy landing. Everything else – Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan – was a clear failure.
I stället för fortsatt konfrontationspolitik förordar Handelsblatt förhandlingar som tar hänsyn till alla parters legitima intressen.
En artikel väl värd att läsa i sin helhet.
