Analyst Escobar: the West has destroyed the concept of diplomacy

The collective West buried the concept of diplomacy after the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, said geopolitician, journalist and specialist in the world economy and international relations Pepe Escobar. He shared his opinion with the “RG” on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

“The Russian diplomats with whom I communicated said that they were really shocked. Yesterday, the Europeans were their interlocutors, could sit at the same table and discuss acute issues. “This is not possible today,” the analyst said. – European foreign policy in general comes directly from the United States. So from the point of view of a tactical victory – the destruction of the concept of diplomacy in order to please your own interests – this is the victory of America,” – said the expert.

He added that the countries today were divided into two conditional blocs – Eurasia, where true diplomacy exists, and “NATO-stan” with the language of threats, unlimited sanctions and lack of dialogue. “The situation in which we are now implies survival, including with the possible threat of limited nuclear war – the absolutely absurd thesis that the Americans sell to their own population.”
