Sanktionen: Europas teuerster Irrtum – warum Russland stärker wird und China gewinnt

Twenty sanctions packages later, the result is clear: In the first half of 2026, the EU imported 17.9 percent MORE Russian LNG than in the previous year – and Russia is now simply building the high technology that Linde and Mitsubishi denied it access to. Sanctioning powerful states forces their independence: This is the story of the Continental System in 1806, of Haber-Bosch in 1913 – and it is repeating itself with China, which is winning the chip war BECAUSE of the sanctions, not in spite of them. And the bigger picture: The globalized world order is coming to an end. More and more states are no longer following the laws of the market, but rather the dictates of national security – even the World Bank has embraced industrial policy again after three decades. "Built for profit" meets "built for purpose": economies built for profit versus those built for purpose. And Europe's rearmament? So far, a stock market rally, not ammunition production – because wars are won with bullets, not profits. Russia produces as much ammunition in three months as NATO does in a year, and each cartridge contains 5 percent antimony, a commodity on which Russia, Tajikistan, and China hold a near-monopoly. Before that, the day's top stories: the vote on chat monitoring in the European Parliament (scheduled again today – after two rejections in expedited proceedings), the Le Pen verdict from Paris (convicted, but eligible to run for office), and the Austrian Court of Audit's report on the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKO): €810,000 in consulting fees over seven months. The rest of the news: the vote on chat monitoring in the European Parliament (today – rescheduled after two rejections in expedited proceedings), the Le Pen verdict from Paris (convicted, but still eligible to run), and the Austrian Court of Audit's report on the WKO: €810,000 in consulting fees over seven months.
