Herland Report host, Hanne Nabintu Herland speaks to leading political economist, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts in this interview about the effects of the weakening of Europe by Washington design.
Roberts reveals that many foreign leaders appear willing to sacrifice their country’s interests for affiliation with American interests. These leaders are often rewarded financially, which presents a troubling moral and ethical dilemma regarding governance in a global context.
The current European leaders represent the interests of America: U.S. foreign aid often operates under misleading pretenses, aimed more at creating dependencies rather than fostering independence. This shows a strategy where financial leverage is used to maintain control over foreign governments, leaving them vulnerable to external manipulation.
“No European leader represent the interests of their country over the interest of Washington. All of them have enabled Washington’s wars, they are all complicit in the refugees that are overrunning Europe.”
“If there is a war, Europe is going to disappear. The Russians have already said that they will not fight another war on their territory. There are no independent governments in Europe, Washington owns them,” states Dr. Paul Craig Roberts.
“We give the leaders bags full of money, they report to us. There are no independent governments anywhere in Europe, we own them. I remember Tony Blair leaving office, one year later he was worth 50 million pounds. Where does that come from? It explains why no foreign leader represents the interests of their country over the interest of Washington. All of them have enabled Washington’s wars, they are all complicit t in the refugees that are overrunning Europe. It is the fault of Merkel, and the French president, the Spanish and the Italian and the rest for enabling these wars. They provided the cover, otherwise it was “American aggression”, now it is the “coalition of the willing.”
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts’ insights present a comprehensive critique of U.S. foreign policy and its ripple effect on global affairs, particularly regarding its relationship with NATO, European leaders, and the emerging power of Russia and China.
The intertwining of economic interests, political manipulation, and long-term human consequences is a central theme, emphasizing the critical need for more informed and ethical strategies in international relations. The discussion serves as a wake-up call regarding the implications of continued American hegemony and the resultant socio-political crises facing the world today.
Dr. Roberts is the chairman of The Institute for Political Economy, former editor of Wall Street Journal and a well-known author of many books. He is awarded the Treasury Department’s Meritorious Service Award for “his outstanding contributions to the formulation of United States economic policy. He is a regular contributor to The Herland Report.

The current European leaders represent America: In this engaging discussion with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Wall Street editor and chairman of the Institute for Political Economy, a multitude of pressing global issues is dissected, particularly concerning the intrinsic challenges facing Western powers in relation to Russia and China.
Roberts underlines the detrimental impact of American foreign policy on global stability, as he articulates a scenario where the insulation of Russia and China could lead to a seismic shift in global power dynamics, spelling potential doom for Western hegemony.
Moreover, he critiques the historical context of agreements such as NAFTA which, he claims, prioritized American banking interests over genuine economic cooperation, showcasing how these decisions have ramifications far beyond mere monetary concerns.

The current European leaders represent the interests of America: Roberts also delves into the issue of Western financial interventions in foreign nations, asserting that foreign leaders often become mere puppets due to financial incentives, thus compromising their nations’ interests for American agendas.
He emphasizes how the increasing hostilities between Europe and Russia contradict European self-interests, particularly in light of the ongoing Ukrainian crisis.
Furthermore, he connects the rise of drug culture in America to the protracted wars in Afghanistan, unveiling what he perceives as a sinister intertwining between government profit motives and global narcotics trade.
Overall, the conversation presents a critical viewpoint on how American imperialism influences world events and the resulting implications for international relations.
Dr. Roberts points out: “If Russia and China have insulated themselves, it would be an enormous rise in power of Russia in the East and the complete collapse of the Western power. It would be like a world revolution. That would be the last thing that the Central Banks in the West would want, because their main function is to expand Western financial hegemony.”
The interview boldly links the ongoing immigration crisis in Europe to American military interventions, asserting that European leaders’ complicity in these conflicts has direct consequences on their domestic politics and social cohesion.
Transitioning from a defensive stance to an aggressive alignment with American interests is seen as a dangerous paradox. This alignment raises questions about Europe’s long-term security and identity, as its strategic decisions appear increasingly dictated by U.S. confrontations with Russia.
The current European leaders represent America: Roberts critically evaluates how the drug epidemic in the U.S. is exacerbated by war efforts. The production of heroin in Afghanistan, in parallel with U.S. military actions, highlights the complex interplay between warfare, economic gain, and social degradation, raising questions about the true motivations behind prolonged military engagements.
By suggesting that the CIA may be intricately involved in managing drug trafficking, Roberts sheds light on the realities of unaccountable entities within government structures. This insinuates that money generated from illicit activities may fund further covert operations, creating a cycle of corruption and moral ambiguity.
Dr. Roberts points out: “If there is a war, Europe is going to disappear. The Russians have already said that they will not fight another war on their territory. That tells you right there. Yet, we have countries such as Norway, Sweden, countries that used to be neutral, participating in NATO exercises on Russia’s border. We have Poland and Romania allowing US to put nuclear missiles on Russia’s border.
This is like signing a death warrant for your country. All of these leaders have supported the American coup in Ukraine, which was an effort to grab the Russian naval base in Crimea, to cut them off from the Mediterranean. They supported all this. It makes no sense for these European leaders to align themselves in serving the Washington agenda.” Watch the full inteview from 2017 here. NoteGPT summary.
