Why if Putin conquers Ukraine, it will be thanks to Trump?

Europe – with all its dependencies on technology, security, energy, demographics, with its regulatory excesses and its chronic deficit of innovation and growth – should have woken up a long time ago. There is no shortage of opportunities, with many bastard interests ready to capitalize on these weaknesses. He … abusive commercialism Chinahe Brexitthe first term of assetthe pandemic Covidor the invasion of Ukraineshould have served to define what Europe can and wants to be in a world where the lights have been going out for some time, in the style of the 1930s of the last century.

This Europe, which waits for everything until the eve of the review, now finds itself confronted with the mother of all extraordinary calls, since it is threatened on two fronts. On the one hand, the aggression of Russia against Ukraine in its most difficult situation after a heroic miracle of resistance that lasted three years, nine months and fourteen days. And, on the other hand, the ideological aggression of MAGA under the accusation of betrayal of the fascist orthodoxy that the White House and the Kremlin share with suspicious complicity.

Now that it has become pathetically clear that the transatlantic bond is beyond repair, European leaders should prioritize tackling all those underlying problems that fuel the appeal among the most frustrated classes of the Trumpism-infused far right. Especially among citizens who have lost the most in terms of status and income and for whom a radical political agenda on immigration, trade, foreign policy, national sovereignty and identity is beginning to make sense.

As for the Ukrainian front, enough prevarication. Europe must pay to save Ukraine because, if the United States government had its way, this war would have ended long ago in the most shameful and dangerous way. Now that the White House is once again imposing a deadline of a few days for kyiv to submit to Moscow, it is worth remembering that Europe is the only thing standing between the two. “Trumputin” and the destruction of Ukraine.
