The interview was published in the\u00a0English (International) and Portuguese-Brazilian editions of Sputnik and picked up by a newswire in Indonesia. The dispatch was headlined: &#8222;Europe to Sign Own &#8218;Suicide Pact&#8216; If Hosts New\u00a0U.S. Missiles \u2014 German Politician.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;Europe&#8217;s possible agreement to host U.S. intermediate and\u00a0shorter-range ballistic missiles will be tantamount to signing a &#8217;suicide pact&#8216; in light of Russia&#8217;s declared resolve to target\u00a0these potential security threats, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the leader of Germany&#8217;s Civil Rights Movement Solidarity party, told Sputnik.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;`If Europe were to accept the installation of new U.S. missiles on its territory in this strategic environment, it would sign a suicide pact,&#8216; Zepp-LaRouche said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;According to the politician, amid somewhat war-mongering\u00a0 rhetoric in the West, Putin `just reintroduced a reality principle and clarity&#8216; with his warnings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;&#8218;Despite President [Donald] Trump&#8217;s stated intention to improve relations between the U.S. and Russia, including that he may have one idea of replacing the INF treaty with a new agreement, Putin has to take into account the contrary intention of the neocons in the Trump administration and the British &#8218;minister of war,&#8216; Gavin Williamson, who threatens to use &#8218;hard power&#8216; and also claims that the &#8218;boundaries between peace and war are becoming blurred,&#8216; she clarified, making a reference to Williamson&#8217;s 2019 Munich Security Conference speech. [sic\u2014Williamson&#8217;s speech was on Feb. 11 at the Royal United Services Institute\u2014ed.]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;Meanwhile, Europe&#8217;s &#8218;fundamental self-interest,&#8216; Zepp-LaRouche believed, lay in removing sanctions on Russia and re-establishing good relations with Moscow by creating &#8218;an economic zone from the Atlantic to the Pacific on the basis of integrating the Belt and Road Initiative, the Eurasian Economic Union and the EU.&#8216;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;She went on to note that such cooperation would create &#8218;a new security architecture&#8216; that should become the basis on which Europe builds its cooperation with the United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8222;When asked to suggest ways to overcome the rifts in the global security environment between Russia and the West, Zepp-LaRouche opined that once the &#8218;real authors&#8216; of &#8218;Russiagate&#8216; \u2014 the scandal around Moscow&#8217;s alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, which Russia strongly denies \u2014 were revealed, &#8218;most of the strategic tensions would evaporate.'&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sputnik International published an interview\u00a0with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, identified as head of the Germany&#8217;s Civil Rights Movement Solidarity (B\u00fcSo) party, warning that if\u00a0Europe hosts new U.S. missiles it will sign a &#8222;suicide pact,&#8220; and that the solution to strategic tensions is to expose the real authors of Russiagate.
