 I accuse the Europeans of defeat on December 9th and the illegitimacy of their leadership in the face of the continuation of the war

Nicolò Machiavelli

Trump stated it today: "The Europeans have a weak leadership that doesn't know what to do, and their puppet Zelensky is determined to continue the war to avoid the vote." In short, Trump, one might say, has finally understood something as clear as day: he must distance himself from the extremist and warmongering position advanced by the leaders of France, Germany, and, at their head, the United Kingdom, and company of countries dragged into their wretched and failed war effort. He understood it late, but this stance is welcome, even though I remain of the opinion that the US bears broad responsibility with the Europeans for the past interference and meddling that led to the 2014 coup d'état and the subsequent war against the Russian-speaking minorities in the Dombas, in an attempt to control the country. Today, Russia is demanding an investigation be opened and those responsible for those actions brought to trial. Persecution that lasted from 2014 to 2022, the year of the Russian Federation's intervention in the internal Ukrainian conflict. Although the causes of that intervention, alongside the populations of Dombas, were not widely understood in the West, due to propaganda that silenced the genocide and emphasized the sole inviolability of Ukrainian sovereignty, the war, or special operation, as the Russians like to call it, shattered the plans and dreams of those who, like the British, dreamed of making Russia what the former Yugoslavia was after the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall: a mosaic of belligerent and weak states, incapable of understanding each other and fragile in the face of any foreign penetration of their territories. This entire strategy, pursued for years by Western, NATO, and European Union strategists, has proven a total failure after three bloody years of conflict. The war against Russia, financed with American and european.taxpayer money, AND NOT ONLY, are invincible, and the absurdity, and I would even say the stupidity and lack of political realism, of those who want to pursue it in the European arena thunders like an insult to the intelligence and against the European people themselves, represented by this vile and arrogant group of leaders, now disheartened and delegitimized in their own fiefdoms, and without, as the American president himself reiterated, the desire to submit these same choices, which impact both their respective economies and peace itself, to a popular vote. Putting questions that concern oligarchies and secret power hubs to popular consultation is not on the agenda of European governments. Launching an electoral campaign to let the European people decide whether or not they want a war with Russia would also be appropriate, since a global conflict with Moscow would cost us all our lives. So why should a Macron, delegitimized in his own country, or a German Chancellor, decide when the rearmament of Germany itself is a question that concerns peace among Europeans and in the world, or even a British Prime Minister, how well we know that the English are completely wrong and that they are only defending what remains of their tottering empire. In this dramatic context, Zelensky's visit to Rome is another commedia dell'arte. Meloni, whose party received 13% of the overall vote, cannot squander our money on a war that not even the Americans, her masters, want to continue. The visit of the failed hero coincides with the holding of his party's ridiculous event, named after the character Atreu from the great saga, The Lord of the Rings. How would Zelensky compare to Atreu? A 100% dollar question, the bookies would say. Surely a dwarf who wages war with other people's weapons, Prince Machiavelli would say. He won't win, and even if he did, his victory is ephemeral and not lasting. In The Prince, Machiavelli says: "Auxiliary weapons, which are the other useless weapons, are when you call upon a powerful man, who with his own weapons may he come to help and defend you, as Pope Julius did in recent times, who, having seen in the Ferrara enterprise the sad test of his mercenary arms, turned to auxiliaries, and agreed with Ferdinand, King of Spain, that he should help him with his men and armies. These arms may be useful and good in themselves, but they are always harmful to those who call them harmful; ..." They are harmful weapons for him and for us, so be it!
