Publisher's Synopsis
The eastward expansion of NATO, the bloody Maidan riots in the Ukrainian capital in 2014, the construction of a missile defence shield in Eastern Europe, the annexation of Crimea, the Ukraine war that began on 24th of February 2022 and finally the "mysterious" blowing up of the Nord Stream pipelines on 26th of September 2022 are all events of irresponsible geopolitics, of which we have become reluctant witnesses. This book explores the question of the connection between the protagonists and the extras and who is directing them, i.e. who is actually responsible for this policy. Empirically and factually, the author sheds light on the background and connections in Eastern Europe and explains who are the beneficiaries and the biggest losers in these processes of geopolitical upheaval. All of us who have been forced to become witnesses of this "dance on the volcano" have the moral and civilisational duty not to accept this dangerous development as "natural", but to investigate numerous questions that concern us all. Such as what dangers these geopolitical events conceal, what influences it exerts on our lives, whose signature this threatening geopolitics bears and whether morality and geopolitics must ultimately be mutually exclusive. This book provides explanations, theses and answers.
