The neocons new strategy for Europe

The European scene has been modified by the rejection of the European Constitutional Treaty in France and the Netherlands and the result of the recent legislative elections in Germany. Thierry Meyssan reveals the analyses of US neoconservatives and their new strategy for Europe.

As a result of the lessons learned from the events that have shaken Europe over the past two years, the neoconservatives have decided to change their own agenda for this region of the world, which originally involved:

1) Redeploying the US military forces stationed in Europe, moving them to the East and the South to control Central and Eastern Europe, and establishing a "containment belt" around the Russian Federation;

2) Neutralizing any efforts towards an independent European Defense and reinforcing NATO's leadership;

3) Leaning on the Brussels Commission to attain a merger between the US free trade zone and that of Western Europe. In order to achieve that goal, they counted on a supposed "constitutional" treaty that would establish, in advance, the powers and the political program of the Commission so that the latter would be completely free from any opposing power.
