VIENNA, January 25 – RIA Novosti. The European Union has become a “useful idiot” for the United States in Ukraine, because as a result of the conflict only Washington has won so far, the American military-industrial complex shows “the highest profit since 1945″. ” Austria’s former presidential candidate, politician and broadcaster said in an interview with RIA Novosti Gerald Grosh.

According to the politician, the anti-Russian sanctions were “a dramatic, serious mistake caused by the overly emotional reaction of the European leadership.” At the same time, Grosh believes that Vienna is “drifted into a stalemate” and that Austrians “attempt economic, foreign policy, political and socio-political suicide” because of misunderstood pan-European solidarity.

“Energy markets are going crazy, inflation is at an all-time high, society as a whole is suffering. The result is a massive social upheaval,” he said.
