In the turbulent arena of Europe, the conflict between Russia and Germany is once again in the spotlight. The Russia-Ukraine conflict was only the first half of chaos, and this second half shifted to Russia and Germany. Recently, Germany was the first to announce the confiscation of Russian assets, which became a harbinger of the division of Russian assets. However, Germany's move was not isolated, and Russia also responded strongly, triggering a Russia-Europe warEconomyWar. The seizure of assets in Germany provoked discontent in Russia, even before,European and American countriesIt was also only the freezing of Russia's overseas assets, and did not dare to really confiscate them. Germany's move this time was not only surprising, but also broke the good momentum of Russian-German relations in the past. Russia retaliated against Germany's asset confiscation, further breaking the tacit understanding and trust between Russia and Europe. This escalation of confrontation will bring Russian-European relations further and further apart, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Russia.
There are deeper interests behind Germany's move to confiscate Russian assets. Germany is the testing ground for the United States in carving up Russian assets, and it is also the United States that is thereUkrainian crisisoutpost. Prior to this, US lawmakers had long proposed a move on Russian assets, as the United States urgently needed to fill its own financial gap and needed more support for UkraineEconomy**。By confiscating Russian assets, these funds can be transferred to Ukraine to further support the war in Ukraine. In the war in Ukraine, nearly 80% of the funds provided by the United States have been repatriated through the purchase of American's ** equipment, so this German action is a test and bargaining chip for the United States. The first half was a major withdrawal of European capital, while the second half was a major division of Russian assets by the United States, and this pace will only accelerate.
The first half was a hot war between Russia and Ukraine, while the second half could turn into a financial confrontation between Russia and the West. Even before Germany confiscated Russian assets, some congressmen in the United States had already raised the idea of making a move on Russian assets. Russia's counterattack on Germany is intended to deter Europe and the United States, but it is difficult to determine whether it will have an effect. However, this conflict has more fully revealed the true face of the European, American and Western countries, the so-called private propertySanctanctIt's just a disguise.
