According to recent figures, Russia became the second largest exporter of iron and steel to Europe in March. This is in the middle of the war and during the European sanctions regime against Russia, which still has too many loopholes despite Germany's successful deindustrialization. Brussels must act!

Entrepreneurs, investors and employees in the industrial sector in Germany can count themselves lucky these days: they are not only fighting the abysmal evil of this world (the Russians) but also (man-made) climate change. With their sanctions regime against Russia, the strategists from Brussels have succeeded in drastically increasing the costs of energy imports for Europeans. The relabeling and redistribution of oil and gas via India et al can therefore also be interpreted as a kind of voluntary CO2 tax, which puts German industry in a good moral light. In addition to this important act to save the world through its own renunciation, it also succeeds in decisively reducing the margins of Russian traders. Let this be a lesson to you, Russia!

Clouds are gathering But dark clouds are gathering on the shimmering morale-green horizon. As it turns out, there are still remnants of German industry and they still insist (sic!) on working with raw materials. Iron, steel or aluminum which, and here once again the cynicism of the gods is revealed, can be found in abundance in the Russian soil and can be provided in abundant form by the nearly dead (U vdL) Russian basic materials industry. And now our strategists from Brussels come into play, who have brought the Russian regime to its knees economically in over a dozen rounds of sanctions, while the European continent is flourishing economically thanks to these political efforts and, thanks to intelligent energy policy from Germany, has managed to emerge in the happy position of a seemingly heavenly self-sufficiency.

Never change a winning team Why not apply what has worked so well in the past to these materials? There is a need for urgency, as imports of iron and steel from Russia to the EU rose by 1.7% in March compared to the previous month to a value of over 328 million euros. Anyone who does not now recognize the double danger that threatens us is beyond help. Russia could find back on its feet again and a European industry could fuel its own growth by exploiting these raw materials, which would lead to an increase in emissions and make a mockery of all the successful efforts to de-industrialize. As a European community of values, we have a duty to prevent this at all costs at precisely this turning point in history. With the Supply Chain Act and the most comprehensive ESG control regimes the world has ever seen, we have done pioneering work here and are miles ahead of the world. This will create new jobs and prosperity and miraculously resolve the demographically complicated situation in most countries of the European Union into nothingness.

Use the wealth of experience So if we extrapolate from the achievements of the past to the future, we can assume that these raw materials will also find their way to Europe through complex distribution channels, but then burdened with a quasi special tax that puts us in the morally acceptable position of relocating further industrial investments to locations outside our sphere of influence. To this day, no economic theory has been able to prove that it takes a high level of value added and complex economic chains to make a nation happy. Hard stoic philosophy, prepared for a morally superior people and an ethic of abstinence can have a favorable effect at this point. Europe is on the right track here if it succeeds in crossing the intellectual abyss. Communism only failed in the past because the broad masses of people were not intellectually prepared for it. The signs are good that things will turn out differently this time. Let's hope for the best. Viva la revolution!
