17/2/25 – The king is naked. Trump arrives, and finally, everyone realizes it: Europe may seem like an economic giant, but it remains a political dwarf. After three years of absurd war hysteria following the orders of Joe Biden’s American administration regarding Ukraine—determined to humiliate Russia, the world’s leading nuclear superpower, at all costs Donald Trump’s return to the White House should have brought European leaders back to reality. But that’s not guaranteed. Logically, the American president immediately reestablished dialogue with Vladimir Putin—stupidly marginalized and demonized by the West under Biden—cutting out the Europeans and Ukrainian President Zelensky from negotiations. A negotiation that must put an end to the most absurd war of the century. A war that would never have started if Trump had been in power and if Europe and the U.S. had kept the promises made to Moscow at the time of the dissolution of the former USSR: preventing NATO missile launchers from ever reaching Russia’s borders. A red line. Three years ago, Putin demanded that these commitments be respected: Ukraine’s neutrality and a guarantee that it would never join NATO. Mocked by the U.S., the EU, and NATO, he opted to take justice into his own hands and defend Russia’s strategic interests.
In these three years, what has the EU done? An institution born from the ashes of Nazi Germany, with its founding fathers pledging that “never again” would war return to Europe? Has it pushed for a negotiated solution? Tried to put out the fire with an arms embargo? No. On the contrary, by aligning with Biden, it threw fuel on the flames, fueling a stupid and bloody war with weapons, massive propaganda (making people believe that Putin wanted to set the entire continent on fire), and billions of euros taken from taxpayers’ pockets. A war that has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of young Russians and Ukrainians. And for what? It was pointless. Worse, a boomerang. Russia could not lose it. On the contrary, Moscow decided to reclaim the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine bordering Russia. Only Hungary, with Orbán, and later Slovakia, tried to stop Europe’s hysteria, led by the little Napoleon of the Élysée, Macron.
Now it’s time for a reckoning. Trump has stopped the collective madness. He spoke with Putin—the latest ‘villain’ stoned by Europe’s militarized press—ignoring the near-unanimous support of the Russian people for the campaign in Ukraine. Are they all fascist warmongers? A form of collective anti-Russian racism, a Cold War hangover. Insults and verbal attacks were abundant. The latest came from Italian President Mattarella, who dared to compare Russia to the Nazi Third Reich, provoking outrage in Moscow. A disgraceful comparison, considering that Russia paid the highest price among the Allies with 25 million dead for the liberation of Europe. Without this immense human sacrifice, today we would be goose-stepping in the European Fourth Reich. But now everything is changing. At the expense of incompetent European leaders. Who never asked their voters if they agreed to gift hundreds of billions to the corrupt Ukrainian regime, giving up hospitals, schools, infrastructure, and decent pensions while also risking a terrifying nuclear World War III. Trump and Putin are moving toward a new Yalta. A summit between the two will soon take place in Saudi Arabia, preceded by a meeting of foreign ministers. Without European representatives. And without Zelensky, who for three years has been the ‘useful idiot’ in Biden’s hands. The peace agreement they will likely impose will largely recognize Russia’s reasons. And will mark the beginning of a new détente among the great powers, who share a strategic vision of the world—more authoritarian and less mired in political correctness. Above all, focused on defending the vital interests of the three superpowers. China will likely be part of this new Yalta.
Russia will regain its strategic buffer zones on its borders with Ukraine, which will not join NATO. And perhaps, as Trump suggests, one day it will return to Russia, of which it was the national and religious cradle. Similarly, the American president envisions expanding U.S. influence with the possible absorption of Greenland, regaining influence over the Panama Canal and (former?) Gulf of Mexico, or even the (very hypothetical) accession of Canada as the 51st state of the Union. China could move closer to reclaiming Taiwan. Meanwhile, Israel and Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman Turkey will establish themselves as major regional powers at Europe’s doorstep. All this in a world undergoing a rapid revolution, driven by Artificial Intelligence, and becoming increasingly tripolar at the expense of the EU. Marginalized more than ever. Europe stands at the threshold of irrelevance, having sacrificed its strategic interests in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America to the benefit of Russia, China, and Turkey. Only by getting rid of Macron, Schulz, or Sánchez—who is increasingly threatened by corruption scandals and the blackmail of Catalonia’s little Napoleon, Puigdemont—and replacing them with real statesmen, might Europe have a chance to recover.
