Guy Mettan discusses the deep thousand year history of Russophobia which informs the current Ukraine crisis. Europe had divided in two parts along religious lines which can still be seen in Ukraine today. He traces Russophobia from medieval Germany to France to Britain and back again to Germany and today the U.S. and EU. Brzezinski outlined the importance of conquering Ukraine because it's the pivotal power of Europe. Ukraine is the first battle of the Third World War. It won't be a total war, it will be a global unlimited war, unlimited in space and time where everybody will be affected. He agrees that there is a neo-totalitarian trend in the West and that democracy is a false flag. He's pessimistic regarding the future development of our world as the U.S. and EU develop into a totalitarian new empire. But he's optimistic that the light of the truth can't be extinguished.

TRANSCRIPT
Geopolitics & Empire:
The Geopolitics & Empire is joined by Guy Mettan who is a journalist and Swiss politician, former Director and Editor-in-Chief of the main Geneva Newspaper Tribune de Geneve. Executive Director of the Geneva Press Club and columnist for various Swiss newspapers since 2001.
He's been a member of the Geneva Parliament, was a Speaker of the Parliament in 2010, and is author of several books. Two from Clarity Press, which we'll be discussing today. Creating Russophobia: From the Great Religious Schism to Anti-Putin Hysteria, and Europe's Existential Dilemma: To Be or Not to Be an American Vassal. Hello and welcome, Mr. Mettan.
Guy Mettan:
Hello. Good to see you. I'm happy to talk with you to today.
Geopolitics & Empire:
Yeah. Thank you for taking the time. I wanted to talk about both of your books and themes of what's going on in Ukraine and the new cold war on Russia, as well as the EU project itself. And both are very important right now and interlinked.
You've said the West has engaged in more or less violent hostilities for 1,000 years against Russia. And this is something no one seems to talk about today. People are forgetting. The media doesn't talk about this. From Napoleon and Hitler to the US, EU, and NATO today, it's clear much of the aggression, much of the time has come from the West against Russia. So, could you kind of help us understand the current conflict and what's going on with Ukraine, the conflict, this war, and why Russia is so hated?
Guy Mettan:
Yeah. So, thank you for the question. It's a very long story. As you said, it's in my view, 1,000 years old story, because I think the roots of this conflict we can see now in Ukraine are very deeply rooted in history in Europe. In my view, everything has started with 1,200 years ago when a new emperor came into power here in Europe. The name of this emperor was Charlemagne, Charles the Great. And he was the first one, who was a German, and he was the first one to restore ... He wanted to restore the old Roman Empire, which collapsed at the fifth century after Jesus Christ.
This guy was a conqueror. He was a blood maker, if I can say, because he killed a lot of people to conquer his new stage in Germany. It was in South Germany and north of France, whose capital was Aix-la-Chapelle, Aachen now in Germany. This guy wanted to change the religion, because it was the Orthodox, religious at the time. Everybody was Orthodox in Europe or in the East, in Jerusalem, Turkey and so on, and Constantinople.
This guy wanted to change the composition of the Trinity. You have the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. He wanted to change a little bit the thing. It's ideological fight for him in order to have a common ideology, new religious ideology for his states, but he could not succeed. He succeeded to become an emperor because the Pope ... He had the Pope to reconquer the holy city in Rome. He could become emperor, but he could not change the religion.
This change came one century, 50 years later, in the 10th century, when a new German prince called Otto was able also to gather European states and to create a new empire. It was the Holy Roman German Empire. And he wanted also to change the Holy German. He could not succeed at first. His successor was able to do it 50 years later, and it was the religious schism. We have told just a few minutes, which happened in the 11th century.
Why this remembering of the history? Because this religious schism between Catholic, people who became Catholic, it was in the Western Europe and the Orthodox in the Eastern part of Europe. In Greece and Byzantine Empire was the first divide of Europe, of the Christian world, let's say, in two parts. And now, we can still see that in Ukraine.
For instance, in Ukraine, you have also the same division between the Uniates in Ukraine, in West Ukraine. These people are from Orthodox right, but they're submitted to Catholic Pope in Rome. They depend on the Pope. And the Eastern part of Ukraine is still remain the state, pure Orthodox. You have this divide, this gap just in the middle of Ukraine. So, it's a very 1,000 year history. We can see always today, until today, the importance of this topic even now in the modern Ukraine.
I just mentioned that to remember how deep is this divide. Because after the collapse of the Greek Christianity, of the Eastern Christianity, the collapse of Constantinopolis, with Ottoman, with the Turks at the 15th century, the heritage of the Orthodox Christianity and the heritage of the Byzantine Empire was transferred to Moscow, because it was Moscow who take into account as the heritage. All this religious and political was the follow-up, if I can say.
And the hate between Catholic and Orthodox was also transferred to the Russian after the collapse of the Byzantine. So, we can see how the hate of the Eastern, or the Orthodox has migrated during centuries.

Guy Mettan:
It's interesting also to notice, but in the modern times, in the late 18th century, it was the French king, Louis XV who rediscover, if I can say, the Russophobia, because he married a Polish princess. So, he take the Polish view of the world very anti-Russian in his mind. And this guy has heard a fake document called the fake testament of Peter the Great. Saw Peter the Great. It was completely fake, but for this fake paper, he was saying that the mission of the Tsar, of the heirs of Peter the Great was to conquer Europe, France, Germany, Italy and so on.
Completely fake, but Napoleon, because Napoleon was angry with the Tsar. They were friends, but after the divide, the conflict. Napoleon rediscovered this fake document and he published it in 1812, because he wanted to make a war against the Tsar, Alexander I and has to justify to find the reason or to invent a reason.
So, he published this fake testament saying, "Oh, look, the mission, the historical missions of the Tsar is to conquer Germany, France, and all Europe. So, we have to make, as a French power, to make a preemptive war against Russia in order to stop them, to conquer them. We have to attack Russia at first before they will attack us and conquer us." And it was the Napoleon expedition in Russia. Unfortunately, for Napoleon, he was beaten. He was defeated and he has to surrender.
That's the emerging of the modern Russophobia through the French King and after the French Emperor, Napoleon. Maybe I am too long, but this forged document,...
