Wie reagiert die EU auf die US-Sanktionen gegen T. Breton und europäische Internet-Aktivisten? Dazu hat mich die Anadolu Agency (AA) befragt – und einige Zitate veröffentlicht.
Hier meine Einschätzung:
Eric Bonse, a German journalist based in Brussels, said the EU itself has imposed sanctions on German, French and Swiss citizens without drawing meaningful criticism.
“Nobody cares. Hypocrites,” Bonse said.
He also noted that those now complaining about US sanctions were being „forgetful,“ recalling that when the US sanctioned the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, targeting its operator and related entities in late 2019 and again in February 2022 with the aim of halting the pipeline due to European energy dependence on Russia, half of Europe cheered.
„They had secondary sanctions on Iran, and Germany and France found no remedy,“ Bonse said. „Recently, they sanctioned lawyers at the ICC in The Hague, and the EU did not even complain.“
