This Is Europe’s Plan to Destroy Russia

The Jimmy Dore Show

Citing comments from Professor Richard Wolff, Jimmy Dore and his guest, Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen, discuss whether Europe’s increasingly confrontational policy toward Russia is driven by domestic economic decline and interest in gaining access to Russia’s vast natural resources. Diesen points to remarks he attributes to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and a former Polish president about breaking Russia into smaller states, interpreting them as evidence that some European leaders have considered the country’s fragmentation a strategic objective. He argues that Europe is struggling with deindustrialization, declining competitiveness, and the breakdown of its traditional economic partnership with the United States, while increasingly shifting resources toward military production and support for Ukraine. 

The conversation also raises concerns about Russian sovereign assets, loans to Ukraine, and Western resource interests, with Diesen suggesting that economic pressures may be an important factor behind the push for confrontation with Moscow.
