Vorwort für die slowenische Ausgabe von Emmanuel Todds "The Defeat of the West":
Zitat Less than two years after the French publication of La Défaite de l’Occident (The Defeat of the West) in January 2024, the book’s main predictions have come true. Russia has weathered the storm militarily and economically. The American military industry is exhausted. European economies and societies are on the verge of implosion. The Ukrainian army has not yet collapsed, but the stage of the West’s disintegration has already been reached.
I have always been hostile to the Russophobic policies of the United States and Europe, but as a Westerner committed to liberal democracy, a Frenchman trained in research in England, the child of a mother who was a refugee in the United States during the Second World War, I am devastated by the consequences for us Westerners of the war waged without intelligence against Russia.
We are only at the beginning of the catastrophe. A tipping point is approaching, beyond which the ultimate consequences of defeat will unfold. [...]
