content:
<p>My Mother once told me the story of an emaciated woman in the Warsaw Ghetto who would wail from her window sill that all the Jews in the ghetto would be killed. She came to be called Cassandra, after the prophetess of doom in Greek mythology. Everyone just assumed that she was mad. My Mother speculated in retrospect that somehow she had become privy to the truth: Jews weren’t being “relocated” in the East; they were being transported to their deaths.</p><p>I have hesitated thus far to sound the alarm. But at the risk of being thought mad, it must, as an act of political responsibility, be said out loud: Israel is hurling toward the precipice and dragging the rest of the world with it.</p><p>A rational analysis of the current predicament must begin with this bedrock fact: Israel is a crazy state. Not a “bad actor.” Not a “rogue” regime. A crazy state. The full range of Israeli elite opinion, itself reflective of Israeli society at large (which overwhelmingly supports the genocidal war in Gaza; only a handful of Israelis have refused to serve), spans a mere flea’s hop:</p><p>AT ONE POLE stand “crackpot realists,” of whom sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote in the American context: “they have come to believe that there ... is no other solution but war, even when they sense that war can be a solution to nothing ... they still believe that ‘winning’ means something, although they never tell us what.” (1) Professor Benny Morris is cut squarely from this mold. He is urbane, educated, secular—and a crackpot. He once even “proved” that Israeli Jews couldn’t coexist with barbarian Palestinians by inter alia mustering stats on how many more road accidents Palestinians got into! (2) Morris exhorts the US to join in an attack on Iran and then rattles the threat that if Washington doesn’t rise to the occasion, Israel will go it alone by nuking Iran. He must be cognizant as he breezily proffers such counsel that an attack would not only incinerate tens of millions of Iranians—he reckons they have it coming—but also trigger a terminal retaliation. Hezbollah alone is alleged to possess 150,000 missiles. It’s a circuitous auto-da-fé. That prospect, however, doesn’t appear to faze Morris one bit.</p><p>AT THE OTHER POLE stand full-blown crazies—or those just one step short of this threshold. “The greatest danger facing Israel right now,” Noam Chomsky presciently observed already four decades ago, “is the ‘collective version’ of Samson’s revenge against the Philistines—‘Let me perish with the Philistines’—as he brought down the Temple in ruins.” The Samson clones ensconced in Jerusalem have either already gone mad—“we shall kill and bury the Gentiles around us while we ourselves shall die with them”—or pretend to “go crazy” so as to terrify enemies and allies alike into submission. Feigned lunacy, be it noted, easily transmutes into the real thing as the imaginary phantoms one repeatedly conjures seep into the psyche’s inner chambers. The upshot is that this madness, real or contrived, “renders rational calculations ... questionable” as Israel “may behave in the manner of what have sometimes been called ‘crazy states.’” (3) A report in yesterday’s paper fleshes out in real time this Israeli propensity to unhinged outbursts: when one senior Israeli official counseled caution, if only in the immediate term, after Iran’s symbolic retaliation, a far-right cabinet minister demanded on the contrary that Israel go “crazy.” (4)</p><p>*</p><p>The April 14 speech at the Security Council emergency session by Israel’s representative, Gilad Erdan, brought home just how lunatic Israel has become. Presenting a master class in—if nothing else—proximate projection, Erdan was seemingly persuaded to the bone of his being that “the Islamic regime of today is ... no different than Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.... Just like the Nazi regime, the Ayatollah regime sows death and destruction everywhere.... For years, the world has watched the rise of this Shite Islamist Reich, yet just like during the rise of Nazism, the world has been silent”; that “Iran’s hegemonic ambitions of global domination must be stopped before it drives the world to a point of no return, to a regional war that can escalate to a world war”; that Iran was “barreling towards nuclear capabilities ... its breakout time to produce an arsenal of nuclear weapons is now weeks, mere weeks.” If the world didn’t rein in Iran, then Israel had no recourse except to bear this crushing burden on its own of stopping Hitler’s Third Reich: “We are being fired upon from all fronts, from every border. We are surrounded by Iran’s terror proxies.... All of the terror groups attacking Israel are tentacles of the same Shiite octopus, the Iranian octopus. So, I ask you, and be honest with yourselves, what would you do? What would you do if you were in Israel’s shoes? How would you react if your existence was threatened every single day? Israel cannot settle for inaction. We will defend our future.” Holding up his iPad to display an image of Israel allegedly intercepting an Iranian drone over al-Aqsa mosque, Erdan even claimed for Israel the mantle of the true guardian of Islam’s holy sites—“look at this video that shows how Israel intercepts Iranian drones above the Temple Mount and al-Aqsa mosque”—against the defilers of them in Teheran. The tonal register of his rhetorical delivery was as if a defiant accusation, Who dares doubt me?! “In every speech and in countless letters,” Erdan further recalled, “I rang the warning bell regarding Iran.” He got right that the bell must be sounded; but he got wrong from whence the madness emanates. Medice, cura te ipsum. If Erdan represents even half of the Israeli state and society—the fraction is arguably much higher—a catastrophe looms. True, Israeli leaders have in the past uttered certifiable lunacies. It is sufficient to recall Prime Minister Netanyahu holding up a Loony Tunes-like cartoon of the Iranian bomb at the UN and his pronouncement that it was not Hitler but the Palestinian Mufti of Jerusalem who masterminded the Final Solution. Indeed, already as far back as the 1978 Camp David negotiations, President Carter mused about Israel’s head of state, “It’s becoming clearer that the rationality of [Menachem] Begin is in doubt.” (5) All the same, a civilizational leap backwards separates the Israel that once was from what it has become. Israel’s UN representative at the time of the 1967 (“Six-Day”) war, Abba Eban, could serially prevaricate—albeit with consummate eloquence, as befitted the triple-first graduate of Cambridge—without batting an eyelash. But still, it was possible to rationally parse his propositions (as I once endeavored) to prove them wrong. (6) It is no more possible to parse Erdan’s speech than a psychopath’s rant.</p><p>*</p><p>It might be urged upon Iran to tread lightly so as not to agitate the lunatic in the room. But alas, that is not, in my opinion, a viable option. The documentary record demonstrates that, once Israel has fixed a country in its crosshairs, nothing short of abject submission will bring it to desist. If the “enemy” power resists initial provocation, Israel will keep escalating with another and another provocation until it proves politically untenable for the targeted entity to passively absorb further blows. That’s what happened when Israel targeted Egypt’s Gamel Abdel Nasser in the early 1950s. (7) (It was feared by Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion that the “radical nationalist” Egyptian president might one day preside over a modern state able to check Israel’s regional ambitions.) That’s what happened when Israel targeted the Palestine Liberation Organization in Lebanon in the early 1980s. (8) (It was feared by Israeli Prime Minister Begin that the PLO’s “peace offensive”—the Palestinians supported but Israelis opposed a two-state settlement—would bring international pressure on Israel to withdraw from the West Bank.) That’s what happened in 2002 during the second intifada when Israel carried out targeted assassinations of Palestinian leaders. (9) (It was feared by Prime Minister Sharon that the Palestinians would stop armed attacks in exchange for a negotiated ceasefire.) That’s what happened in 2008 when Israel broke a ceasefire with Hamas in order to launch Operation Cast Lead. (10) (It was feared by Israeli Prime Minister Olmert that Hamas would gain international legitimacy as it moderated its political program.) The lamentable truth is that, short of national suicide, Iran cannot exercise the option of inaction: Israel will almost certainly keep ratcheting up the provocations until Teheran has no choice but to respond. It wouldn’t surprise were Israel to assassinate Ayatollah Khamenei then (wink, wink) deny it.</p><p>*</p><p>The Israeli government has ever been on the alert to exploit opportunities in order to implement its preconceived plans. In 1989, during the Tiananmen Square massacre, Benjamin Netanyahu urged his government to exploit this media distraction by carrying out a mass expulsion of Palestinians in the West Bank. On November 4, 2008, when the United States elected its first Black president, Prime Minister Olmert exploited this media distraction by breaking the ceasefire with Hamas. On July 17, 2014, when a Malaysian airliner flying over Ukraine was downed, Prime Minister Netanyahu exploited this media distraction by launching the murderous ground invasion of Gaza in Operation Protective Edge. The pretexts of October 7 and now Iran’s “retaliation” present the lunatics in Jerusalem with an unprecedented opportunity to rid Israel of the triple challenge to its regional domination: by destroying Gaza, Hezbollah, and Iran; the “fog” of such an explosion would also enable Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. If it is hoped that a sane cabal among the Israeli leadership will crystallize to stop this headlong lurch over the precipice, then it must be said that the odds are against it. Hitler’s biographer, Ian Kershaw, observed that, if it took so long for coup plans to hatch against the Fuhrer, it was because of “a deep sense of obedience to authority and service to the state,” the belief that it was “not merely wrong, but despicable and treacherous to undermine one’s own country in war,” and “even as the military disasters mounted and ultimate catastrophe beckoned, the fanatical backing for Hitler had by no means evaporated and continued, if as a minority taste, to show remarkable resilience and strength.”(11) It’s hard not to notice cognate factors at play in elite Israeli circles. On the last point, whereas Netanyahu’s critics have been writing his political obituary for years, he too keeps bouncing back notwithstanding his missteps. Why? Because Israelis see their reflection in him. Indeed, Netanyahu IS Israel: an obnoxious, narcissistic Jewish supremacist for whom only Jews reckon in God’s grand design. It must, finally, be acknowledged that not all Israeli fears are unfounded—the wish is by now widespread that Israel vanish from the map while its capacity has diminished to terrorize its neighbors into submission. But, for the most part, it is a corner that Israel has boxed itself into. Before October 7 Hamas had gestured toward a two-state settlement while Iran consistently voted with the UN General Assembly majority in support of the two-state consensus. Israel rebuffed it.</p><p>Will Prime Minister Netanyahu resist the irresistible temptation to cut the Gordian regional knot or, like Samson, will he bring down the Temple—the rest of us—with him?

title: Benny Morris: They Had It Coming

hash: � l-K���2���"��
content:
<p>In a new article, Israeli historian-turned-state-propagandist Benny Morris chastises the hypocrisy of Recep Tayyip Erdogan: the Turkish president deplores Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza yet denies the atrocities that Muslim Turks committed against Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians, and Kurds circa the early 20th century. (He also takes note of Erdogan’s current “cultural repression” of Turkish Kurds and the bloody war he has been waging against Kurdish armed forces in neighboring countries.) (“<a href="https://quillette.com/2024/04/22/erdogan-the-hypocrite-turkey-israel-armenian-genocide/%E2%80%A6">Erdogan’s Hypocrisy,” 22 April 2024</a>) No doubt, such rank hypocrisy deserves condemnation. It is no less true, however, that a public personality’s denial of a past genocide pales in moral culpability beside denial in the face of an ongoing genocide, when openly expressing outrage at an infamy in progress can literally be a matter of life and death for the victims. Consider this case in point. Mouin Rabbani and I recently participated in a <a href="https://lexfridman.com/israel-palestine-debate-transcript/#chapter6_hope_for_the_future">debate </a>during which Professor Morris cavalierly denied the imminence of mass famine in Gaza and Israel’s hand in engineering it. Here’s the official transcript: Benny Morris—There’s no genocide. Norman Finkelstein— … half of whom are children… Yeah, according to the most current UN reports, as of today- Benny Morris—There’s no genocide. Norman Finkelstein—… one quarter of the population of Gaza- Benny Morris—Is starving. Norman Finkelstein— That means 500,000 children- Benny Morris—Are starving, Norman Finkelstein— … are on the verge of famine. Benny Morris—They keep saying on the verge of. Steven Bonnell: On the verge of. Didn’t you quote that they said it was unlivable? Benny Morris—I have not seen one Palestinian die of starvation in these last four months. Not one. Mouin Rabbani—There have been documented cases. Benny Morris—They are always on the verge. They’re on the verge. Mouin Rabbani—have been documented cases. Benny Morris—I haven’t seen any. Steven Bonnell—Yesterday Al Jazeera said six, and the day before that they said two, so those are the two. Benny Morris—That number probably dies in Israel of starvation also. Mouin Rabbani—I don’t think there’s famine in Israel. Norman Finkelstein—You’re so laid back, so blasé. Benny Morris—There isn’t. There isn’t in the Gaza Strip either. It’s something which is produced for the Western- Norman Finkelstein—“I haven’t seen any starving children yet.” Mouin Rabbani— There are infants dying due to a engineered lack of access to food and nutrition. Benny Morris—I don’t think it’s engineered, I think that if the Hamas stopped shooting perhaps, or- Norman Finkelstein—Unfortunately, most- Mouin Rabbani—As I said, engineered. Norman Finkelstein—I think Human Rights Watch called it using starvation as a weapon. That’s called engineering. Today, B’Tselem (Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) issued a report, “Manufacturing Famine: Israel is Committing the War Crime of Starvation in the Gaza Strip,” that confirms what has already been widely documented. It finds that “for months, Israel has been committing the crime of starvation under international law in the Gaza Strip.” It further finds that, under the terms of the Rome Statute, Israel is culpable of the “war crime” of “starvation,” as it has intentionally (mens rea) engineered a famine (actus reus) in Gaza: “[F]or many months, Israel has prevented the required scope of humanitarian relief, including food and medicines, from entering the Gaza Strip and particularly northern Gaza. The destruction that Israel sowed during the fighting has all but obliterated the ability to locally grow food or source it for production. Given these circumstances, the population’s diet relies almost entirely on outside aid, which is controlled by Israel. ... Israel is failing to meet its obligations ... by not allowing sufficient aid to enter the Gaza Strip and by failing to guarantee the safe arrival of the aid to its destination, even in areas it says are under its control.” “Israel’s intent to use starvation in order to gain a military advantage is reflected in statements made by senior politicians and military commanders, that denying residents food and water is part of Israel’s methods of warfare in the Gaza Strip. For example, Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, a member of the war cabinet, which is the highest forum directing Israel’s policy in its war in Gaza, explicitly stated that denying food and water is part of the fighting: ‘We are imposing a full siege on Gaza City. There is no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting beasts and we are acting accordingly.’ Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir tied efforts to release the Israeli hostages to preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza: ‘As long as Hamas refuses to release the hostages it is holding, the only thing that should enter Gaza is hundreds of tons of Air Force explosives, and not a gram of humanitarian relief.’ Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said: ‘For years, we’ve given Gaza electricity, water and fuel. Instead of thanking us, they sent thousands of beasts to butcher, rape and kidnap babies, women and elderly people. That is why we decided to stop the supply of water, electricity and fuel, and now their local power plant has collapsed and there’s no electricity in Gaza. We will continue to tighten the siege until the threat that Hamas poses to Israel and to the world is removed. The past will not be the future.’” It should finally be noted that decriers of the South African genocide application to the International Court of Justice have alleged that the case mounted by South Africa was defective as it didn’t prove criminal intent to commit genocide. For example, it’s purported that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s allusions to “Amalek” were distorted. Thus Morris: “The prime minister didn’t say genocide.” Here, however, is B’Tselem’s gloss: “‘The current war against the Hamas murderers is another chapter in the story of our national resilience through the generations. Remember what Amalek did to you.’ That is what Binyamin Netanyahu wrote in a message to Israeli soldiers on 3 November 2023, in a dog whistle that anyone who has gone through Israel’s education system will recognize as meaning a response to an attack in a way that would obliterate any memory of that nation, women and children included. When the fight against Hamas is compared to the war against Amalek, the conclusion is clear: The order is to wipe out Gaza.” In other words, “the conclusion is clear” that Netanyahu’s Amalek allusion evidences criminal intent to commit genocide. But according to Morris, even if Netanyahu did target Gaza’s civilian population for annihilation, that wouldn’t quite constitute genocide as these noncombatants aren’t innocent: “Gaza’s civilian population ... is largely sympathetic to Hamas’s actions and goals, which include the destruction of Israel. In going after the Hamas units, the IDF inevitably killed many non-combatants. They died in a war initiated by Hamas.” That is, standing not just before but also behind Hamas, Gazan civilians have it coming if they’re wiped out. Doesn’t only a flea’s hop separate Morris’s palliation of Israeli genocide from a full-blown apologia for it? If Erdogan is a genocide denier, then Morris is his doppelganger. </p><p></p><p></p>

Indeed, I stated in the very last sentence of my book that Israel was bringing “to bear every squalid and sordid instrument in its arsenal” against the ICC. It was also obvious that extra-legal pressures were exerted on Richard Goldstone to recant his milestone report on Israeli crimes in Gaza, even as “Goldstone’s secret will perhaps never be revealed” (from my book Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom). It is also my considered opinion that ICC Judge Peter Kovacs was subject to extra-legal pressures or enticements and current ICJ Vice-President Julia Sebutinde has been subject to extra-legal pressures or enticements by Israel. At the very least, Israel has assisted their whitewashing endeavors. (The flagrant, shameful and shameless lie that former ICJ president Joan Donaghue uttered on BBC last month—she purported that the ICJ did not find that Israel was “plausibly” committing genocide in Gaza--was morally debased but almost certainly traced back to careerism and opportunism, not Israeli dirty tricks.) One of the redemptive aspects of the current horrible moment is that a lot of the dirt is finally coming out. It was, for example, always assumed, but couldn’t be proven, that a class of Jewish supremacist billionaires acting at Israel’s behest were exerting financial pressures on academia. The machinations of the Ackmans, Krafts, Sternlichts et al. have now been exposed. If the Harvard Corporation wouldn’t let the 13 anti-genocide students attend graduation, was it not because “he who pays the piper calls the tune”?</p>

<p>Israel is ever attuned to the US news cycle. It has predictably escalated its genocide in Gaza as the Kamala Harris candidacy replaced Gaza as the top news story. The past few weeks have been particularly gruesome: another day, another massacre of innocents. The New York Times plays its assigned role. Desperate to appease its reader base of billionaire Jewish supremacists on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, the Times keeps churning out the Israeli propaganda. Here’s one of its wretched headlines today (10 September 2024):</p><p><strong>“Unwilling to Be Militants’ Human Shields, Some Gazans Turn Gunmen Away From Shelters”</strong></p><p>Midway into this harrowing article on Hamas perfidy, the reader who gets this far comes across this line: “It was not possible to confirm whether armed or unarmed militants stay in the school shelters.” In other words, the whole thing is fabricated out of whole cloth. The authors of this article are identified as Bilal Shbair and Matthew Mpoke Bigg. Let there be no mistake: these two “persons of color” are complicit in genocide.</p>

<p>I was invited to participate in a debate at the Oxford Union on November 28, 2024 that included Israeli professor Benny Morris. I was subsequently informed by the Union that, after agreeing to attend, Professor Morris stipulated that he would only participate in the debate if former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was also invited. The Union then approached Mr. Olmert but, according to the Union, Olmert “firmly declined to participate if you [i.e., Norman Finkelstein] were part of the debate. Despite multiple discussions, his position remained unchanged, which subsequently led to Benny Morris withdrawing as well.” It does give pause just how pusillanimous Israel’s chief historian and former Prime Minister are—and how powerful is the weapon of Truth. The Opposition to the motion no longer included a qualified scholar (the Union replaced Morris with a certifiable psychopath) so I withdrew from the debate. I suppose things could have turned out worse: Morris and Olmert might have booby-trapped my pager.</p><p>P.S. Morris is now complaining that the decision to cancel a lecture by him in Germany on account of his deranged anti-Palestinian statements was “sheer cowardice.” I wonder how he would describe his decision not to publicly debate me at Oxford unless Olmert was there to protect him?</p>

content:
<p><strong>On Thursday this week, I was due to speak at an event titled “Is Ireland Safe?” – a straightforward and necessary discussion on the reality of crime in modern Ireland.</strong></p>
<p>Not migrant crime specifically, mind you – that is, of course, a legitimate issue which came up during the discussion, but it was not the particular focus of the event. This was merely an event to discuss crime, full-stop, including organised gang feuds, sentencing, prison spaces, policing priorities, and so on.</p>
<p>It was organised by Breaking Point, a new group seeking to revive political debate on important issues in Ireland. The venue was set for UCD.</p>
<p>Yet, in an irony so perfect it deserves a chef’s kiss, despite the event being planned weeks in advance, UCD cancelled at the eleventh hour the day before it was set to take place, citing concerns about potential disturbances on campus during the exam period.</p>
<p>In other words, an event titled “Is Ireland Safe?” appears to have been cancelled because the university apparently deemed it unsafe to host, believing it would lead to dramatic disruption for students.</p>
<p>If this is the case, one does have to wonder the wisdom of giving in to the heckler’s veto and handing control of free speech to fringe saboteurs whose sole mission in life appears to be ensuring they never hear a view they disagree with.</p>
<p>Enter stage left (pardon the pun), People Before Profit, whose UCD branch eagerly took credit for the cancellation. They celebrated the news on Instagram, announcing, “BREAKING POINT EVENT CANCELLED! Thank you to everyone who signed the letter on behalf of their society and emailed UCD! Only when standing together can we keep UCD an anti-racist campus” – punctuated with a triumphant raised-fist emoji.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://gript.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/signal-2025-05-09-172356_002-245x480.jpeg" alt width="245" height="480" data-sanitized-class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-330372"></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Nothing remotely racist was on the agenda, of course – this was, as we have all come to expect in modern Ireland, merely the go-to insipid smokescreen deployed by self-righteous activists with too much time on their hands who are desperate to muzzle opponents.</p>
<p>But despite this craven attempt at censorship, a new venue was quickly found (to the credit of the organisers), and the event proceeded as planned at a Dublin hotel. It unsurprisingly sold out with a packed room.</p>
<p>Far from the chaos and disorder predicted by critics, the discussion went ahead without a hitch. If anything, the event benefited from the controversy.</p>
<p>But it’s telling that for all the talk about the threat posed by so-called “far-right” radicals, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the real threat to freedom of assembly and press freedom in this country comes from the quarter of the Soviet-style Left. We see time and time again that we have self-appointed ideological commissars who represent nobody but themselves, acting like they have a divine right to police public discourse, and yet who manage to somehow claim victimhood at the same time when you offer the slightest pushback to their infantile behaviour.</p>
<p>Despite their feverish attempts to end discussions they dislike, radical authoritarians failed this week. They failed to shut down this event, and they will continue to fail. People in Ireland are increasingly fed up with sanctimonious “crybullies,” whose political methods amount to little more than spittle-flecked ranting and dirty tricks to end conversations they find uncomfortable, all wrapped in the guise of faux-moral superiority.</p>
<p>The truth is, if freedom in Ireland is threatened by some shadowy force, it’s not by ordinary citizens or people with reasonable dissenting views outside the Overton window. It’s by those who are intolerant of differing opinions and who cynically weaponise notions of “safety” as a flimsy pretext for blatant censorship, because they know they have no real argument and would be flattened in open debate.</p>
<p>As Thursday demonstrated, the conversation will continue – whether they like it or not.</p>

Calley was trained forst by Edleman and then at Mercury by Susie Wiles folks.  He was a former food lobbyist.  They crafted a narrative and sold it by putting them Carlson and rogan who both are grifters for Susie's bosses and then Klaus Schwab used his agent to get them the book deal.  The book was also part of the psy op they knew they need to get DJT eelcted after the trainwreck that was Operation Warp Speed.  Susie is fabulous at her job.  I'd write her glowing recommendation because she got DJT back in against steep odds.  Bobby and Nicole becames a means to end for Susie.  Susie cut out Nicole quick after the merger and then she put a plan in place to surround Bobby with both Means siblings until I dropped that bomb in Decemeber.  Everyone in DC was reading my tweets then and listening to my podcasts because i had them both dead to rights.  Susie never named Casey back then and put in placecard holder Janette who was a good RNC soldier because she knew what was going on.  But speaking as a doctor this Wiles woman is a deadly for your life because she protects her BigHarma clients by helping them subtact time from the public's bank account because she works for them for decades. She is a staple in the RICO case that HHS should bring but Susie outsmarted the smart.  You have to know how they breed swamp people.<br><br><a href="https://x.com/DrJackKruse/status/1920990366750105919" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://x.com/DrJackKruse/status/1920990366750105919</a></div><br><br><span>(Feed generated with <a href="https://fetchrss.com/feedLink?w=67e85ccd68d9b987fd0b48f3" target="_blank">FetchRSS</a>)</span>

<p><strong><em>Quando l’incompetenza indossa il tailleur: anatomia di un potere educato, elegante e pericolosamente vuoto.</em></strong></p>

<p>C’è, oggi, un’estetica particolare nel potere europeo: l’eleganza dell’inconsistenza. Una classe dirigente che, pur senza scandali clamorosi né sfoghi populisti, riesce nell’impresa di sembrare ogni giorno più lontana dalla storia e più vicina al marketing. Si veste bene, comunica meglio, governa poco. Ma soprattutto: pensa meno. E questa, nel nostro tempo, non è più una colpa, bensì un merito.</p>
<p>Al vertice di questa geometria dell’inefficacia svetta la figura di Ursula von der Leyen, presidente della Commissione europea per designazione celeste e conferma procedurale, protetta da uno scudo di parole alte e risultati modesti. Tedesca di nascita, tecnocrate per vocazione, ha attraversato la sua carriera politica come una danzatrice sul filo: mai un vero inciampo certo, ma anche mai un vero salto. Alla Difesa tedesca lasciò dietro di sé una scia di consulenze costose e una Bundeswehr ancora in cerca d’identità. In Europa ha perfezionato la coreografia: parole vuote in confezioni prestigiose, gesti solenni privi di sostanza, decisioni coraggiose quanto un algoritmo. È la personificazione di un’Europa che ha smesso di interrogarsi, e ha iniziato a recitare.</p>
<p>Accanto a lei ora si affaccia sulla scena la nuova plenipotenziaria della politica estera europea, Kaja Kallas, già primo ministro estone, recentemente promossa a simbolo del rigore russofobo di Bruxelles. La sua visione geopolitica pare provenire da un manuale della Guerra Fredda illustrato per bambini: i buoni da una parte, i cattivi dall’altra, e in mezzo solo sanzioni, armi, e parole roboanti sul destino dell’Occidente. Il fatto che l’Europa, nel frattempo, si stia impoverendo, disunendo e disorientando, è un dettaglio secondario. Ciò che conta è mantenere la postura morale, anche a costo di perdere il senso della realtà.</p>
<p>Ma qui non siamo solo di fronte a due nomi: von der Leyen e Kallas sono il sintomo di una più ampia e allarmante mutazione della governance europea. Una metamorfosi gentile, indolore, eppure irreversibile: dal governo alla gestione, dalla politica alla comunicazione, dal pensiero alla replica. In altre epoche, la mediocrità al potere produceva tragedie. Oggi produce conferenze stampa.</p>
<p>La nuova élite europea educata, anglofona, inclusiva e transatlantica, ha imparato tutto ciò che serve per non sbagliare mai, ma ha dimenticato tutto ciò che serve per decidere davvero. Si affida alla simulazione del dibattito, alla liturgia del consenso, alla burocrazia come alibi e al moralismo come scudo. Ha sostituito la visione con la procedura, la complessità con la semplificazione etica, la memoria con l’hashtag.</p>
<p>Questa classe politica non è né cinica né corrotta nel senso classico: è convinta, sincera, persino devota. Ma proprio per questo è pericolosa. Perché crede profondamente nella bontà delle sue formule, nella nobiltà delle sue intenzioni, nella superiorità del suo vocabolario. E mentre l’Europa brucia, nei suoi margini geopolitici, nelle sue economie in crisi, nelle sue tensioni sociali, essa continua a raccontarsi favole sul futuro verde e digitale, sul soft power, sulla “resilienza”.</p>
<p>Intanto i cittadini europei, quelli reali, concreti, che non vivono nelle infografiche, vedono solo il vuoto mascherato da governance. Vedono i costi dell’energia salire, il lavoro precario cronicizzarsi, la sicurezza internazionale sgretolarsi sotto i proclami. E capiscono, lentamente, che l’Europa non è in buone mani. È in mani ferme, certo: ferme come l’inazione, come l’arroganza placida dell’ignoranza istituzionalizzata. Mani tragicamente scollegate dalla realtà.</p>
<p>Non è necessario evocare l’apocalisse né invocare sovranismi per comprendere la gravità della situazione. Basta osservare il volto sempre più affilato del potere europeo: un volto che non ha più rughe, ma nemmeno più espressioni. Nessun conflitto interno, nessun dissenso visibile. Solo armonia artificiale e perfezione formale. È l’epoca della “leadership dermatologica”: liscia, rassicurante, anestetizzata. Peccato che nel frattempo la storia, fuori dai palazzi di vetro, si stia facendo di nuovo feroce.</p>
<p>Ci si interroga allora se questa élite davvero non veda il precipizio che si sta aprendo davanti a sé. Forse sì, ma non può permettersi di rallentare. Forse no, perché accecata dal riflesso dorato della propria immagine. O più tragicamente forse se ne accorge e ride, come chi balla sull’orlo dell’abisso convinto che sia solo un palcoscenico.</p>
<p>Non resta che concludere con un pensiero adatto a questi tempi che si credono razionali e invece sono solo meccanici: non saranno i barbari a distruggere l’Europa. Saranno i suoi amministratori. I suoi zelanti tecnocrati, i suoi funzionari irreprensibili, i suoi moralisti inamidati. Saranno loro, proprio loro, a smontarla pezzo per pezzo, senza neppure rendersi conto che chiamano “governare” ciò che in realtà è solo l’arte raffinata del declino.</p>

<p>Journalist Kit Klarenberg declared that the announcement by Donald Trump that he was ending the assault on Yemen was, in fact, a defeat of the Anglo-American Empire. Under the title: “Collapsing Empire: AnsarAllah Defeats U.S. Again,” Klarenberg writes: “A vast, multi-billion naval and air campaign (that) officials in Washington had pledged would last ‘indefinitely’ has abruptly ended, in return for AnsarAllah [the Houthis] pledging not to attack American shipping in the Red Sea. While the President has bragged that the Resistance group ‘capitulated’ to his administration’s renewed, much-intensified belligerence and ‘don’t want to fight any more,’ the reality is that God’s Partisans have once again defeated the Empire.”</p>

<p>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is traveling to Switzerland today for three or four days of meetings. He will consult with He Lifeng, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, who is also the Vice Premier of the State Council, according to Xinhua. <em>Global Times</em>, under the title “<a href="https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202505/1333632.shtml">China Will Not Sacrifice Principle To Reach Deal with U.S.: MOFCOM</a>,” reports that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman said: “If the U.S. says one thing but does another, or even attempts to continue to coerce and blackmail under the guise of tariff talks, China will never agree, nor will it seek to reach any agreement by sacrificing its principle and position as well as international fairness and justice.”</p>
<p><em>Global Times</em> notes that President Trump said: “China initiated upcoming senior-level trade talks between the two countries and said he was not willing to cut U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods to get Beijing to the negotiating table, Reuters reported.” But, <em>Global Times</em> adds, “China decided to agree to hold discussions, and the talks are being held at the request of the U.S. side.”</p>

He particularly believes that China could help bring Moscow and Kiev’s positions on the conflict settlement closer together to make the peace talks possible. “It is a natural thing to ask,” the President said, when asked by a journalist whether he could ask China to help bridge the gap between Russia and Ukraine. “I think so, yes,” he replied.</p>

<p>It appears that the <em>quid pro quo</em> in the trade deal between the United States and the Great Britain was on cars and beef: the U.S. will continue importing almost as many cars from Britain, while Britain will import more beef from the U.S., reported London’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/08/cars-steel-and-hormone-fed-beef-the-key-points-of-the-ukus-trade-deal"><em>The Guardian</em></a>:</p>
<p>It looks like the U.S. is the winner. In 2022, U.S. agricultural exports to the U.K. were valued at approximately $1.78 billion, whereas the new deal sees exports go up to $5 billion. The U.K. will enjoy a lower tariff on car exports (10%), but only up to a maximum of 100,000 cars (less than the 120,000 it exported last year).</p>
<p>One wonders why did London accept such a disadvantageous deal. Assuming that they want to reach a political goal, i.e. re-establishing preferential relations, is probably not far from the truth.</p>

<p>Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, “requesting a pause on all intelligence sharing with Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the BvF [sic], that could be used to target political opponents,” <a href="https://www.cotton.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/dni_letter.pdf">Cotton’s website</a> and X account report, referring to the German domestic intelligence, Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV). The statement explains that the letter “comes after the BvF’s recent classification of German opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a ‘proven right-wing extremist organization.'</p>
<p>Senator Cotton’s further wrote:</p>
<p>“I understand that liberal elites on both sides of the Atlantic loathe the AfD, but AfD’s platform has resonated with many Germans. Unsurprisingly so, since an agenda of strong borders, energy independence, and economic growth has appealed to our own electorate and may other Western democracies. Rather than trying to undermine the AfD using the tools of authoritarian states, Germany’s incoming government might be better advised to consider why the AfD continues to gain electoral ground and how German’s government can address the reasonable concerns of its citizens.”</p>

<p>In what adds ridicule to sensation, the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, BfV) backtracked and announced a standstill in the verdict on the “proven anti-democratic” character of the Alternative for Germany party (AfD), pending the AfD legal challenge. This means that the BfV will not repeat that definition, and instead go back to “suspect of being anti-democratic,” until the court will issue a response to the emergency challenge filed by the AfD. According to the AfD’s attorney AfD, quoted by <em>Berliner Zeitung</em>, the BfV wants to avoid a defeat in court.</p>
<p>Fact is, that while the German government is labeling as “extreme rightwing” the largest political party in the country, it has backed with money and weapons bona fide Nazis in Kiev. And the paradox is that the AfD is exposing that fact.</p>
<p>On March 31, the AfD Parliamentary faction, led by party heads Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, filed a query to the Federal government, demanding explanation of a recruiting operation led by the Azov Brigade on German territory. The query says: “In February 2025 the international battalion of the 12th special forces ‘Azov’ brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces apparently conducted a recruiting event in the vicinity of Berlin. In an interview on site by <em>Bild</em> journalist Julian Röpcke, an alleged German member of this battalion confirmed that it was an event aiming at recruiting voluntaries. An additional purpose declared by the Ukrainian unit was to gain support for purchasing vehicles and other military equipment (www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dHNgDTuECg).”</p>

His speech in full:</p>
<p>Veterans, guests, Comrade soldiers and sailors, sergeants and sergeant majors, midshipmen and warrant officers, Comrade officers, generals and admirals, I congratulate you on the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War!</p>
<p>Today, we are all united by the feelings of joy and grief, pride and gratitude, and admiration for the generation that crushed Nazism and won freedom and peace for all humanity at the cost of millions of lives. We faithfully preserve the memory of those historic, glorious events. As the heirs of the victors, today we celebrate Victory Day as the most important holiday for the country, which the entire nation, each family, each of us holds dear. Our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers saved the Fatherland. And they bequeathed us to defend the Motherland, to stay united and firmly defend our national interests, our thousand-year history, culture and traditional values—everything that is dear to us, that is sacred to us.</p>
<p>We remember the lessons of World War II and will never agree with the distortion of those events or attempts to justify the murderers and slander the true victors. Our duty is to defend the honour of the Red Army soldiers and commanders, and the heroism of fighters of different ethnic backgrounds who will forever remain Russian soldiers in world history.</p>
<p>Russia has been and will continue to be an indestructible obstacle to Nazism, Russophobia and anti-Semitism, and will stand in the way of the violence perpetrated by the champions of these aggressive and destructive ideas. Truth and justice are on our side. The whole of Russia, our society and all people support the participants in the special military operation. We are proud of their courage and spirit, and their steely determination that has always brought us victory.</p>
<p>Friends, The Soviet Union bore the brunt of the enemy’s most savage and relentless assaults. Millions of people, once devoted solely to peaceful labour, took up arms and stood firm to the death on every hill, bridgehead, and defensive line. The outcome of the Second World War was determined by decisive victories in major battles of Moscow and Stalingrad, on the Kursk Bulge and the Dnieper River, by the courage of the defenders of Belarus, who were the first to face the invader, by staunch resistance at the Brest Fortress and in Mogilev, Odessa, Sevastopol, Murmansk, Tula and Smolensk, by the heroism of the residents of besieged Leningrad, by the bravery of all those who fought on the front lines, in partisan units, and in the underground resistance, as well as by the selfless efforts of those who evacuated plants and factories under enemy fire, and who worked on the home front, giving everything they had, working to the limits of their ability.</p>

<p>BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: A PROCLAMATION</p>
<p>Today, our Nation proudly commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Allied Powers’ triumph over national socialism and fascism, and the end of World War II in Europe—one of the most epic victories for forces of freedom in the history of the world. On this Victory Day for World War II, we celebrate the unmatched might, strength, and power of the American Armed Forces, and we commit to protecting our sacred birthright of liberty against all threats, foreign and domestic.</p>
<p>In the wake of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States righteously entered the fray of what would become the apex of the eternal battle between good and evil. After nearly 4 years of the darkest and bloodiest chapters ever recorded in human history, more than 250,000 Americans lost their lives in the fight against the Nazi regime. Today and every day, we pay tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their Nation, their liberty, and the survival of Western civilization. Without the sacrifice of our American soldiers, this war would not have been won, and our world today would look drastically different.</p>

<p>In the last months, major advances have moved the 6,800km natural gas pipeline—designed to carry African gas to Europe—off the design table and to the point of actual construction. Announced on May 5 by Morocco’s Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Leila Benali, was the news that the UAE had joined four other organizations in the financing for the project, expected to cost $25 billion. Other groups already involved include the OPEC Fund, the European Investment Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. ECOWAS has already given their support.</p>
<p>Announced in December 2024 was that both the feasibility study and Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) aspects of the project, now officially known as the African-Atlantic Gas Pipeline, had been completed. Nigeria’s National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and Morocco’s Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM)—the two major protagonists in the project—have set up a joint venture to manage its construction and operation. China’s Jingye Steel Group has been chosen to supply pipes for the construction. Land acquisition and resettlement operations have reportedly already begun.</p>

Notably, American veterans were also present there, from various conflicts, including the decorated Vietnam combat veteran Oliver Stone and Ray McGovern, a co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which also issued a “<a href="https://consortiumnews.com/2025/05/08/vips-memo-arms-control-toward-lasting-peace/">VIPS MEMO: Arms Control—Toward Lasting Peace</a>” published in <em>Consortium News</em> on May 8, which the VIPS Steering Group had asked colleague Scott Ritter to write upon the occasion. President Trump said, in his May 8 statement, “my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker.”</p>
<p>He will most certainly get the chance to prove that, as he now visits Southwest Asia. Reports indicate a rift between Trump and Netanyahu, and certainly the U.S.-Yemen agreement to “stop fighting” seems to have both caught the Israelis by surprise, and to also have potentially positioned the Trump Administration to discuss, both with Iran directly, and also with Iran’s close ally Russia, a non-military, and possibly even physical-economic solution to the four and a half decades of conflict there. Trump has also indicated that the assistance of China may be very helpful in resolving the Russia-Ukraine negotiation impasse. It should also be noted in passing that Zelensky’s attacking Russia at this moment, sending drones to attack Moscow airports exactly when over a score of heads of state were flying in, could not have endeared him to them, including Xi Jinping.</p>
<p>A higher-order dialogue of civilizations and cultures must be initiated immediately, and a new security and development architecture must emerge. The <a href="https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2025/03/01/conference-invitation/">Schiller Institute’s May 24-25 conference</a>, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!” can successfully catalyze that process worldwide, if it is conceived of, not as a “one-off,” but as a series of conferences; another conference is already being scheduled for Europe. As was the case for the 15th-century diplomat and inventor of modern science and scientific investigation, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, our wielding “the most profound conceptions respecting man and nature” even to resolve what may appear to be “small” conflicts, is the only efficient approach to preventing the human race from going over the cliff to thermonuclear war in the short term.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RepMTGreene/posts/all-the-narratives-are-wearing-offvietnam-was-a-pointless-war-and-we-lostthere-w/1184052897065432/">Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene</a> pointed out on May 6: “Vietnam was a pointless war and we lost. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Afghanistan was a waste. And we gained nothing from any of those wars.” But to end the wars, worldwide, we must reject the hedonistic, pagan culture of money. There is no such thing, for example, as an “amoral” economy. The economic practices of the City of London and Wall Street are in fact no different, in their moral and physical implications for humanity, than the military policies underway in Gaza. Cutthroat monetarism, and its correlate “victimless crimes,” like epidemic drug use, addictive computer use, etc., have, through its Malthusian “cultural freedom” effects, already substantially depopulated Europe and the West more generally.</p>
<p>The just-concluded election of a Pope from the United States may, however, position that institution, as well as the American people, through a new social dialogue, to reverse this. The fact that the just-elected Pope Leo XIV chose that name has caused those unfamiliar with his predecessor, Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) to revisit that Pope’s work and legacy. Economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche called attention to the work of Leo XIII already 35 years ago.</p>
<p>LaRouche’s 1991 book-length philosophical essay <a href="https://store.larouchepub.com/product-p/schbk-1991-003-00-000-std.htm"><em>The Science of Christian Economy</em></a> begins with a preface, “<a href="https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1991/eirv18n20-19910524/eirv18n20-19910524_028-on_the_100th_anniversary_of_reru-lar.pdf">On the 100th Anniversary of <em>Rerum Novarum</em></a>,” referring to Pope Leo XIII’s famous encyclical, “<a href="https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_15051891_rerum-novarum.html">{Rerum Novarum: Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII On Capital and Labor</a>.”</p>
<p>Compare Section 19 of <em>Rerum Novarum</em>, with a critical passage from the writings of American System economist Henry Charles Carey. First, Pope Leo XIII: “The great mistake made … is to take up with the notion that class is naturally hostile to class, and that the wealthy and the working men are intended by nature to live in mutual conflict. So irrational and so false is this view that the direct contrary is the truth Just as the symmetry of the human frame is the result of the suitable arrangement of the different parts of the body, so in a State is it ordained by nature that these two classes should dwell in harmony and agreement, so as to maintain the balance of the body politic. Each needs the other: Capital cannot do without labor, nor labor without capital.“</p>
<p>Next, Henry C. Carey, from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Harmony-Interests-Agricultural-Manufacturing-Commercial/dp/1015454291/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_w=OhvYB&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.0fb2cce1-1ca4-439a-844b-8ad0b1fb77f7&amp;pf_rd_p=0fb2cce1-1ca4-439a-844b-8ad0b1fb77f7&amp;pf_rd_r=143-9462246-9092765&amp;pd_rd_wg=482mi&amp;pd_rd_r=e082bea1-d50d-48a5-86dc-5f8b7cc420ae&amp;ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk"><em>The Harmony of Interests: Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial</em></a>: “To substitute true Christianity for the detestable system known as the Malthusian, it is needed that we prove to the world that it is population that makes the food come from the rich soils, and that food tends to increase more rapidly than population, thus vindicating the policy of God to man … to approve that among the people of the world, whether agriculturalists, manufacturers, or merchants, there is perfect harmony of interests, and that the happiness of individuals, as well as the grandeur of nations, is to be promoted by perfect obedience to that greatest of all commands, ‘Do unto others as ye would that others should do under you,‘—is the object and will be the result of that mission.”</p>
<p>This is the true basis of American economy, and American foreign and domestic policy. It is not the colonial policies of Adam Smith, or the neo-colonial policies of Milton Friedman. It is the policy of a national bank, directed credit, application of advanced high-density energy technologies, and the limiting of speculative banking practices, that always characterized the revolution that was the American System, “the only one that was ever devised, the tendency of which was that of <em>elevating</em> while <em>equalizing</em> the condition of man throughout the world.” This must be the approach to Gaza immediately. No more killing or starvation, but justice and peace through development. The {Schiller Institute Oasis Plan](<a href="https://schillerinstitute.com/the-oasis-plan-the-larouche-solution-for-southwest-asia/">https://schillerinstitute.com/the-oasis-plan-the-larouche-solution-for-southwest-asia/</a>) for Gaza, and the campaign to bring that to the United Nations discussions on Gaza planned for the beginning of June are a central feature of the May 24-25 conference, which all should attend and build.</p>

<p>U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East negotiator Steve Witkoff has reportedly said the U.S. is pressuring Israel to reach a truce with Hamas ahead of Trump’s visit to the Middle East. According to unnamed sources cited by <em>Haaretz</em>, if Israel doesn’t move along with the U.S. toward such an agreement, Israel will be “left alone.” The report adds, without citing a source, that Steve Witkoff is the anonymous senior U.S. official cited by Channel 12 as criticizing Israel’s conduct in a meeting with families of hostages.</p>
<p>“If until today, the hostages paid the price for not ending the war, then today the price will be much heavier for Israel, and not only the hostages,” the official was quoted as saying. He added that Israel has failed to take advantage of the emerging U.S. nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, which Trump is reportedly no longer conditioning on Riyadh normalizing ties with the <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/report-us-heavily-pressuring-israel-to-reach-deal-with-hamas-witkoff-asked-for-criticism-of-jerusalem-to-be-leaked/">Jewish state</a>, reported <em>Times of Israel</em>.</p>
<p>“If Israel doesn’t come to its senses, the price of missing out will be higher than ever before,” Witkoff reportedly added. <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-05-09/ty-article/.premium/u-s-administration-pressuring-israel-to-sign-gaza-truce-ahead-of-trumps-mideast-trip/00000196-b3ed-dbb0-af9f-bbff8a380000"><em>Haaretz</em></a> goes so far as to say that Witkoff himself requested for this to be leaked to the media, although Witkoff’s office is denying that the administration is pressuring Israel to reach a deal.</p>

<p>It is a simple statement of fact that if you are looking for diversity of thought in the Irish media, you will struggle to find it.

<p>We reject Government funding, because, in our view, that would be the end of our independence.

<p>But there’s a bargain to be struck here: If you value our independence, then you must support it. If you want us to be answerable to you, then you must take a stake in our work.</p>
<p>What we try to do here is to be open, honest, and brave. That does not mean that you will always agree with us. It does mean that there will be times when we will annoy you, and publish things you disagree with: That’s part of the deal. We are independent, not servants of one cause, or another.</p>
<p>That is what media is supposed to be, but too often in Ireland no longer is. We are trying to change that, and we need your help. I am, therefore, asking for it, and would deeply appreciate a subscription at the level you can afford.</p>

title: Eriugena: The great Irish scholar who held back the darkness as European culture came under siege
author: ;Dr Matt Treacy
hash: ��rÑD-��S2ow���
attributes: {"enclosures":[]}
content:
<p><strong>One of the most intriguing and enigmatic of great Irish people is a man only known to us as Iohannis Scotti, or Eriugena.</strong> Both names merely signify that he was Irish, his real name or what part of Ireland he was born in, are a mystery.</p>
<p>He was born here sometime between 800 and 825AD and his Irish nationality is confirmed not just by the name by which he was known, but the fact that he used Gaelic script in his glosses on his manuscripts.</p>
<p>He may, given that the 9th century was a time of Viking raids and settlements around the coast, have fled to Europe as a consequence, but there is no evidence of that. What we do know is that he was one of a succession of Irish people to have become part of the rich Christian culture that helped to sustain European culture at a time of great trauma.</p>
<p>The ahistorical term ‘Dark Ages’ is still applied to the time of Eriugena, but it has no veracity in terms of the pejorative manner it came to be used in later times. As one of the foremost Eriugena scholars, Deirdre Carbine has stated, the Carolingian era was “a bright period in the history of Western philosophy and culture”.</p>
<p>Even Bertrand Russell in <em>A History of Western Philosophy</em>, while lazily referring to the dark ages having “descended on Europe,” notes the part played by Eriugena and other Irish missionaries in preserving the culture for several hundred years. It is generally recognised now that the foundations of science and learning were maintained and strengthened during the Early Middle Ages, rather than Christianity having been some sort of impediment to “progress.”</p>
<p>What darkness did befall Europe was a consequence of the encroachments of more primitive peoples which threatened the survival of a literate culture based on values that are once again under threat. The invading tribal peoples, while sometimes romanticised as prelapsarian eco socialists, were by and large illiterate and governed by rapacious brutality.</p>
<p>It was the resilience of western Christian literate culture, and indeed in the east of Buddhist and Hindu monasticism and social mores, that eventually subdued the barbarians, although the Mongols, Vikings and Huns destroyed monasteries and libraries. It is no accident that contemporary barbarianism as manifested in actual totalitarian power, or in the nihilism of the aspirant totalitarian left in the west, likewise targets all manifestations of the great world cultures.</p>
<p>Eriugena was particularly valued as one of the foremost western experts on Greek philosophy which through Platonism had a major influence on Christian thinking. Eriugena’s erudition earned him the place of tutor to the court of Charles the Bald, the grandson of Charlemagne. Even though he may not have received Holy Orders, he was a key influence on the hierarchy and regarded as the preeminent intellectual of his time.</p>
<p>For that reason he was chosen to put the case for free will in a controversy with a Saxon monk Gottschalk who was inclined to what would later become the austere Calvinist position on predestination. Eriugena stated that evil was of a person’s own making and that no-one was pre-ordained as part of an Elect or a Damned.</p>
<p>In his <em>Treatise on Divine Predestination</em>, Eriugena made the fundamental point that still distinguishes the doctrine of freedom from all philosophical schools that place humans as the subjects of material forces beyond their control: “Where there is inevitability, there is no (free) will … No cause constrains man to lead a good or a bad life.”</p>

<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://gript.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Eriugena1.jpg" alt width="960" height="500" data-sanitized-class="alignnone size-full wp-image-234288"></p>

<p>That remains a central issue in all human thought, regardless of whether the denial of free will is couched in religious or in materialist terms. The Yugoslav Communist dissident Milovan Djilas compared the stifling consequences of that found in Calvin’s Geneva to the control of the intellect in the socialist states.</p>
<p>Both were characterised by “dogmatic exclusiveness” which the Serbian poet Jovan Ducic claimed “made paralytics forever incapable of joy.” In contrast, Mary Brennan wrote of the “extraordinarily optimistic” view of human possibility found in Eriugena, based on the concept of Fallen humanity using its reason and capacity to overcome its own flaws, and to restore its own true nature.</p>
<p>To what extent Eriugena brought that from his upbringing in Irish Christianity and learning must remain speculative. Unfortunately much of the written legacy of that time was lost through the succeeding centuries of invasion and cultural assault. Ironically, some of the most valuable artefacts only survived by having been brought to Europe by the missionaries.</p>
<p>It is tempting to see the peregrinations of the Irish into Europe up to and after Eriugena’s time as akin to those of the Zen monks who seem to have held a similar view of the Cosmos and our place in it. As Christopher Bamford said of Columbanus and of the others, “Thus the Celtic traditions of individuality, holiness and learning became part of the European inheritance.”</p>
<p>In his <em>Homily of the Prologue to the Gospel of St. John</em>, Eriguena posited a view of creation that in later times would cast suspicion on him as a heretic. He was accused of pantheism by some. What he was proposing was that all of creation is part of the Creator. All things were present in the Creation, and inseparable from it. “Contemplate how an infinite number of lines may subsist in a single point”.</p>
<p>Far from that speaking of some abstract mysticism, it serves as an analogy for what we now believe we know of the act of creation, in the singularity popularly termed the Big Bang. As indeed was recognised from his study of astronomical observations in 1927 by the Belgian Jesuit Fr. Georges Lemaitre who formulated the theory.</p>
<p>(Not only did this prove to be a massive shock to materialist cosmology, but where atheistic materialism was in power in the Soviet Union, Stalin’s cultural enforcer Andrei Zhdanov denounced Big Bang, as well as quantum physics, as a “reactionary fairy tale” Those same reds who still become lachrymose over Galileo who was physically unharmed, blithely ignore the thousands of scientists murdered and sent to the camps by the socialist obscurantists.)</p>
<p>Eriugena’s greatest work was his <em>Periphyseon – On the Division of Nature.</em> It is an epic work, one of the great books not only of Christian but of medieval philosophy. It is an extraordinary achievement, and earned Eriugena the ultimate tribute from the Irish state of having his image placed on the old £5 note.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://gript.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/5punt.jpg" alt width="961" height="521" data-sanitized-class="alignnone size-full wp-image-234294"></p>

<p>For centuries, <em>Periphyseon</em> was forgotten, and for a time placed on the index of prohibited books. The Sheldon-Williams translation into English was expensive and difficult to obtain. The library in Trinity College had a copy, and since 2020 it is now available in paperback published by <a href="https://www.doaks.org/newsletter/back-in-print-eriugenas-periphyseon">Dumbarton Oaks</a>. It is one of those books that can be justly described as making the reader look at the Universe in a totally different way.</p>
<p>In the book, Eriugena through a dialogue between the Nutritor and Alumnus cites a vast array of scriptural and philosophical sources in support of his depiction of Creation. It is too big an enterprise to do justice to here, but its most impressive aspect is the depiction of Creation as a process of Exit and Return; All things have the same origin or cause, and all things will have the same end.</p>
<p>Contrary to those simplistic atheists who ask profound questions like “How did God create everything in one week,” Eriugena in common with other Christian philosophers stresses the allegorical nature of scripture. The Bible describes the act of creation in ways that were meant to be comprehensible, but as Eriugena said, are beyond understanding, because we cannot know the mind of the Creator. Creation is the “manifestation of the hidden.”</p>

<p><img decoding="async" src="https://gript.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Eriugena2.jpg" alt width="960" height="500" data-sanitized-class="alignnone size-full wp-image-234290"></p>
<p>That is why crude materialism rebelled against the scientific evidence of what seems to have been the origin of the Universe. It has attempted to adjust itself to what science seems to know of that origin, which involves an act of creation of some sort no matter how it is dressed up. What Roger Scruton said of crude Biblical creationists is equally true of crude materialism. Each constitutes a “formula for translating the unexplained into the inexplicable.” The American psychedelic Terence McKenna once posed the dilemma of materialist science as “Give us one free miracle and we’ll explain the rest.”</p>
<p>Eriugena explores the nature of the Fall, and humanity and indeed all of Creation’s path of return through reason and understanding to its origin. Again, something that gels with theories of how not only the Universe came into being, but how it might end in another single event. There is also the hint that all of this takes place in some sort of dimension beyond time in which our material existence is illusory. It is not difficult to see why James Joyce was fascinated by Eriugena.</p>
<p>To return to the older culture from which Eriugena came, it is noteworthy that the early Christian accounts describe a society that was far from being the primitive communist paradise sometimes still mythologised by those following Connolly’s and other’s depiction of Celtic society. St. Brigid, for example, was born into slavery and her life illustrates how Christianity enhanced rather than suppressed the life affirming qualities of our people. As it did in replacing the barbarities of earlier cultures in Europe and elsewhere.</p>
<p>That is important in rejecting the cult of primitivism which goes back to Rousseau’s notion that pre-Christian, pre-civilized man was some sort of innocent unblemished by the taint of social order. The logic of that of course, as put into practise by the Jacobins inspired by Rousseau and all subsequent totalitarians, was that this “noble savagery” could be recreated “on a higher level” through egalitarianism.</p>
<p>Instead, as Eriugena and others have shown, human nature as it is in its fallen state is flawed. As such it is incapable on its own of creating an ideal society. Rather, the Return as described in <em>Periphyseon</em>, involves the use of human reason to create an order that will facilitate that Return to the Creator from which it originated.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://gript.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Eriugena3.jpg" alt width="960" height="500" data-sanitized-class="alignnone size-full wp-image-234295"></p>

<p>Whether a person is religious or not, or what spiritual understanding they have of our place in the Universe, <em>Periphyseon</em> addresses fundamental questions of existence. Christian existentialism as it were. It certainly stands as one of the greatest contributions of Ireland to world thought, and stands the test of time in a way that few works of such vintage do.</p>
<p>Perhaps though, the most endearing relic of Eriugena’s time is the poem <em>Pangur Bán</em> written by another Irish Christian scholar at the Benedictine monastery of Reichenau while Eriugena was buried in his manuscripts several hundred miles to the west.</p>
<blockquote readability="21">
<p><em>Cía beimmi amin nach ré,</em><br><em>ní·derban cách ar chéle.</em><br><em>Maith la cechtar nár a dán,</em><br><em>subaigthius a óenurán.</em></p>
<p><em>Hé fesin as choimsid dáu</em><br><em>in muid du·n-gní cach óenláu;</em><br><em>du thabairt doraid du glé</em><br><em>for mu mud céin am messe.</em></p>
<p><em>So in peace our task we ply,</em><br><em>Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;</em><br><em>In our arts we find our bliss,</em><br><em>I have mine and he has his.</em></p>
<p><em>Practice every day has made</em><br><em>Pangur perfect in his trade;</em><br><em>I get wisdom day and night</em><br><em>Turning darkness into light.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>We may be proud of Eriugena and the poet, perhaps one Sedulius Scottus, who held back the darkness. Especially at a time when darkness may be falling once more.</p>

<p>But there’s a bargain to be struck here: If you value our independence, then you must support it. If you want us to be answerable to you, then you must take a stake in our work.</p>
<p>What we try to do here is to be open, honest, and brave. That does not mean that you will always agree with us. It does mean that there will be times when we will annoy you, and publish things you disagree with: That’s part of the deal. We are independent, not servants of one cause, or another.</p>
<p>That is what media is supposed to be, but too often in Ireland no longer is. We are trying to change that, and we need your help. I am, therefore, asking for it, and would deeply appreciate a subscription at the level you can afford.</p>
<p>With gratitude,</p>
<p><strong>John</strong></p>

<p>Eighty years after the defeat of Nazi Germany, this week the world witnessed a spectacular, solemn and joyous event to commemorate that historic achievement. The victory parade in Moscow’s Red Square was a glorious pageant incomparable to anywhere else.</p>
<p>Rightly so, because the defeat of Nazi Germany on May 9, 1945, was largely the result of heroic sacrifices of the Soviet and Russian people.</p>
<p>The annual commemoration remains as poignant and proud to Russians as ever.</p>
<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin was accompanied by many international dignitaries this year to observe the parade. Significantly, with honorable exceptions, Western leaders were absent, prohibited by their toxic Russophobic propaganda and historical contradictions.</p>
<p>China’s President, Xi Jinping, was prominent in the Red Square tribune. Again, rightly so.</p>
<p>The Russian and Chinese nations suffered the most in the Second World War. The worst military conflagration in human history is estimated at a death toll of around 80 million. More than half of all those victims were among the Soviet and Chinese people.</p>
<p>Victory Day on May 9 is usually commemorated as signifying the end of World War II. But Nazi Germany’s Axis partner Imperial Japan was not defeated until August 1945. Imperial Japan’s war in China was conducted with the same genocidal barbarity as Nazi Germany’s in the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>It is profoundly revealing that the end of World War II is largely now a muted event in the Western nations of the United States, Britain, and the rest of Europe. It is eerie that such a world-shattering episode has become an increasingly non-descriptive date in the official Western calendar. By contrast, in Russia, the anniversary of the Great Patriotic War’s victory is more relevant and revered than ever.</p>
<p>The difference is explicable. The so-called “Allied victory” over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan was always something of a charade. Eighty years on, the charade is exposed more than ever to the point where it has become untenable and embarrassing for the Western states.</p>
<p>The Soviet Red Army and the Russian people won the war against the Nazi Third Reich with great human sacrifice. The defeat of Japan was brought about by the United States in a cowardly and despicable act of genocide when it dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.</p>
<p>The United States and Britain, the Soviet Union’s nominal allies during World War II, made a marginal contribution to defeating Nazi Germany. The indisputable facts that the Nazi Wehrmacht lost 80 per cent of its total casualties fighting against the Soviet Union, and the raising of the Hammer and Sickle over Hitler’s Berlin bunker are testaments to who were the pivotal victors.</p>
<p>No sooner had the Nazi regime been vanquished than the Western powers began their acts of treachery against the Soviet Union. World War II immediately transitioned into the Cold War with the United States and Britain rehabilitating remnants of the Nazi regime. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan was not so much about crushing the Japanese enemy as committing a calculated act of terror to intimidate the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>As author Ron Ridenour recounts in his book, <em>The Russian Peace Threat, </em>the Americans and British had covert, diabolical plans to attack the Soviet Union with atomic weapons in the aftermath of World War II. However, the subsequent development of the bomb in 1949 by the Soviets prevented the Western powers from carrying out their annihilation of Russia.</p>
<p>The treachery of the West was in parallel with the foundation of the United Nations following WWII. There was, of course, lip service to the respect for international law and the sovereignty of nations. But it was all deception.</p>
<p>Lamentably, the war to end all wars and the creation of international peace were an illusion.</p>
<p>To understand the deception and contradiction, one has to understand that the rise of fascism during the 1930s, leading up to WWII, was a product of capitalist imperialism. Hitler’s Germany and Imperialist Japan were certainly distinctive in their barbarity and genocidal propensity. But they were qualitatively no different from Western imperialist states like Britain and the U.S. Both of these regimes routinely conducted genocidal wars in their colonialist domains during the 19th century and the early 20th century.</p>
<p>The Nazi Reich was a bastard child of Western imperialism. American and British capitalist rulers sponsored the German regime and other European fascists for the primary purpose of inflicting a strategic defeat on the Soviet Union, seen as a bastion against Western domination.</p>
<p>Today, Russia may not be the Soviet Union, but it still constitutes an obstacle to Western imperialist designs for global domination, as does the People’s Republic of China.</p>
<p>In the eight decades since the end of World War Two, the world has witnessed scores of wars and conflicts on every continent, most of which have been instigated by the United States and its Western “allies” under various guises and false pretexts, including most laughably the “defense of the free world against Soviet invasion” or “protection of human rights and democracy.” How wickedly absurd. But afforded cover by the Western media propaganda lie machine that hides the crimes by regurgitating and giving credence to the false pretexts. The combined death toll and destruction from those neocolonial or neoimperialist wars over the past eight decades are on a scale comparable to WWII.</p>
<p>We often hear American people and some politicians complaining about the phenomenon of “endless wars”. Rarely do we hear the simple question of why the U.S. is such a relentless warmongering state.</p>
<p>The victory against Nazi Germany in 1945 by the courageous Soviet Red Army was a hugely momentous one. It liberated Europe from a heinous regime. But the more profound fact is that the war did not destroy fascism. Fascism was deftly redeployed by its root sponsors in the Western capitalist system and manifested in the Cold War and countless neoimperialist wars across the planet.</p>
<p>The war system continues unabated and, indeed, with even more vigor and grotesque incarnation. The so-called Jewish State of Israel that supposedly was created in reparation for the Nazi Holocaust is today waging a genocidal extermination of Palestinians, whose land the Western-backed Zionist colonial project stole in 1948. The deliberate starving and bombing of Palestinian babies is carried out with American and European weapons and political support, as the Western propaganda machine known as the news media, damningly, turns a blind eye to the horror. Distorting, minimizing, obscuring, and whitewashing as usual.</p>
<p>This week, at its pale imitation of a “victory parade” in London, the British royals, politicians and military were joined by Ukrainian NeoNazi forces waving their odious Wolf Hook flags. In essence, the four-year proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, fully instigated and weaponized by the Western powers, is but a continuation of World War Two. This time, however, there is no pretense about whose side the Western powers are on.</p>
<p>In the West, history is dead because it is used to bury crimes past and present.</p>
<p>For Russia and other people who seek the truth and genuine international peace, history is very much alive and worth fighting for.</p>

In occasione della Giornata della Vittoria, il Vietnam intensifica i legami con la Russia e le altre ex repubbliche sovietiche

<p><strong><em>Il Vietnam si prepara a rinsaldare i legami con gli ex Stati sovietici: l’evento culmine è rappresentato dalla presenza di una delegazione militare vietnamita alla parata della Giornata della Vittoria a Mosca e dalla visita del Segretario Generale Tô Lâm che in questi giorni sta visitando anche Kazakistan, Azerbaigian e Bielorussia. Inoltre, un nuovo volo collegherà Taškent e Đà Nẵng.</em></strong></p>

<p>In queste settimane, il Vietnam sta intensificando in modo significativo la propria cooperazione con gli ex Stati dell’Unione Sovietica, rafforzando i legami storici e avviando nuove iniziative in ambito politico, militare, economico e culturale. Al centro di questo slancio si pone la partecipazione di una delegazione del Vietnam alla parata della Giornata della Vittoria (9 maggio) a Mosca, in occasione degli 80 anni dalla sconfitta del nazi-fascismo, e una serie di visite ufficiali che il Segretario Generale del Partito Comunista, Tô Lâm, sta compiendo in questi giorni in Kazakistan, Azerbaigian e Bielorussia. A completare il quadro, si prevede l’inaugurazione di un volo charter settimanale tra Taškent, capitale dell’Uzbekistan, e Đà Nẵng, città costiera del Vietnam, aprendo un nuovo capitolo nelle relazioni con l’Asia centrale.</p>
<p>La sfilata del contingente vietnamita sulla Piazza Rossa di Mosca ha segnato la prima volta in cui l’Esercito Popolare del Vietnam ha preso parte a una parata militare all’estero. Gli 80 militari, tra cui 68 cadetti dell’Accademia militare, sono giunti a Mosca dopo un lungo viaggio e si sono sottoposti a un addestramento intensivo per adattarsi al rigido clima primaverile russo e al ritmo di marcia di 120 passi al minuto. Il generale di divisione Nguyễn Văn Thanh, capo delegazione, ha affermato che questa preparazione è stata “meticolosa e simbolica”, volta a onorare i sacrifici dell’Armata Rossa nella sconfitta del nazifascismo e a consolidare il “legame di solidarietà e stima reciproca” tra i due eserciti. L’ambasciatore vietnamita in Russia, Đặng Minh Khôi, ha fatto visita al contingente durante gli allenamenti, sottolineando come questa partecipazione ha riaffermato “l’amicizia storica” con Mosca e il ruolo del Vietnam nel promuovere la pace internazionale. Alla parata ha assistito anche il Segretario Generale del Partito Comunista del Vietnam, Tô Lâm, che ha approfittato dell’evento per effettuare una visita ufficiale in Russia.</p>
<p>Il Segretario Generale Tô Lâm ha invero svolto un tour diplomatico che lo ha portato anche in altre tre ex repubbliche sovietiche, il Kazakistan, l’Azerbaigian e la Bielorussia. In Kazakistan, Paese che per primo ha avviato relazioni diplomatiche con il Vietnam subito dopo l’indipendenza kazaka nel 1992, il leader vietnamita ha incontrato il Presidente Qasym-Jomart Toqaev, rafforzando un partenariato strategico che già vede crescenti scambi commerciali. Durante i colloqui, Lê Thị Thu Hằng, Vice Ministro degli Esteri, ha evidenziato come il traffico bilaterale sia raddoppiato negli ultimi cinque anni, raggiungendo 800 milioni di dollari nel 2024, e ha invitato le imprese kazake a sfruttare il corridoio ferroviario “Middle Corridor” che collega il Vietnam all’Unione Economica Eurasiatica, facilitando l’accesso ai mercati europei.</p>
<p>In Azerbaigian, Tô Lâm ha proseguito la tradizione di cooperazione politico-militare avviata durante la guerra d’indipendenza vietnamita, incontrando il Presidente Ilham Aliyev. I colloqui si sono concentrati sul rafforzamento della collaborazione nell’energia – con riferimento alle tecnologie per lo sfruttamento del gas naturale – e sulla cooperazione culturale, nelle infrastrutture e nell’istruzione. Aliyev ha ribadito l’apprezzamento per il sostegno vietnamita alla risoluzione pacifica del conflitto del Nagorno-Karabakh e ha invitato Hà Nội a intensificare gli scambi accademici tra università.</p>
<p>A Minsk, la capitale bielorussa, Tô Lâm ha terminato il suo giro incontrando il Presidente Aljaksandr Lukašėnka, con il quale ha discusso progetti di agricoltura di precisione e l’uso congiunto di droni per il monitoraggio delle colture, oltre a visitare impianti di produzione di macchinari pesanti di interesse per il Vietnam. In tutte e tre le tappe, il Segretario Generale ha sottolineato l’importanza di “<em>sostenere lo sviluppo indipendente e la diversificazione delle relazioni internazionali</em>”, ribadendo come il Vietnam guardi alle ex repubbliche sovietiche non solo come fornitori di risorse energetiche e macchinari, ma anche come partner strategici in un contesto di complessità geopolitica globale.</p>
<p>Parallelamente ai vertici politici, l’apertura – lunedì 29 aprile – di una rotta charter settimanale tra Taškent e Đà Nẵng ha ulteriormente concretizzato l’avvicinamento con l’Uzbekistan. L’iniziativa, operata da Centrium-Air Airways in partnership con Prestige DMC Vietnam e VFS Uzbekistan, ha visto i primi turisti uzbeki atterrare sulla costa centrale del Vietnam. L’incremento dei voli da uno a due settimanali nel periodo estivo renderà Đà Nẵng un ponte strategico per i visitatori dell’Asia centrale, in una regione, quella del Sud-Est asiatico, che punta a raddoppiare gli arrivi internazionali entro fine anno. Le autorità turistiche vietnamite contano di accogliere oltre 10.000 visitatori da Kazakistan e Uzbekistan nel solo periodo giugno–ottobre, grazie anche alla liberalizzazione dei visti e alla promozione congiunta delle offerte culturali.</p>
<p>Il nuovo assetto delle relazioni si inserisce in una visione più ampia di Hà Nội, che mira a rafforzare la propria “autonomia strategica” nel contesto della competizione tra grandi potenze. La partecipazione alla parata del 9 maggio ha avuto un impatto simbolico di grande rilievo: il Vietnam si è presentato non più come Paese in via di sviluppo dipendente unicamente dal sostegno esterno, ma come attore protagonista di alleanze flessibili, in grado di onorare la memoria storica e al contempo di guardare al futuro con pragmatismo.</p>
<p>I risultati concreti di questa strategia sono già visibili. Il raddoppio degli scambi commerciali con il Kazakistan, il consolidamento dei protocolli d’intesa sull’energia nucleare siglati con il Giappone (che testimoniano la volontà di diversificare le fonti di approvvigionamento), e l’apertura di nuove rotte aeree dal cuore dell’Asia centrale fino al Mar Cinese Meridionale, disegnano una rete di interconnessioni che trasforma il Vietnam in un crocevia logistico e diplomatico fra Est e Ovest.</p>
<p>Al di là dei numeri, ciò che emerge è una nuova fiducia reciproca: Paesi un tempo uniti dalla medesima eredità sovietica riconoscono oggi nel Vietnam un partner affidabile, disposto a condividere tecnologie e know-how, ma anche a sostenere l’integrazione regionale attraverso progetti che spaziano dalle infrastrutture ferroviarie transcontinentali alla formazione di quadri specializzati. La stretta di mano tra Hà Nội e Astana, Baku, Minsk e Taškent conferma come le relazioni tra il Vietnam e l’area post-sovietica non siano un ripiego strategico, bensì una scelta ambiziosa per proiettarsi con autorevolezza sulla scena internazionale, mantenendo saldi i valori della cooperazione multipolare e del rispetto delle sovranità.</p>
<p>In definitiva, il trittico di Mosca, Astana, Baku e Minsk, unito al volo diretto con Taškent, rappresenta una testimonianza plastica del nuovo corso vietnamita: un Vietnam che, pur continuando a coltivare i rapporti storici con le potenze tradizionali, innova e amplia i suoi orizzonti verso l’Asia centrale, dove risorse, mercati e sfide geopolitiche offrono opportunità inedite. È un Vietnam che, passo dopo passo, dimostra di sapersi muovere con equilibrio tra continuità rivoluzionaria e pragmatismo diplomatico, convinto che il futuro della sua sicurezza e prosperità passi anche attraverso la riaffermazione di legami costruiti nella cooperazione e nella memoria condivisa.</p>

<p>Western media reporting of Victory Day in Moscow invariably lacks historical context and is usually offensive. Whatever the state of our relations today, Britain and the Soviet Union were allies during the World War II / The Great Patriotic War. Dismissing the solemnity of the occasion is absurd. Despite the obvious conflict between our nations today, we should avoid the risk of airbrushing history.</p>
<p>If you visit the British Ambassador’s Residence in Moscow, directly across the river from the Grand Kremlin Palace, you might get a chance to see ‘Churchill’s bathroom’. Just off the main reception rooms on the first floor, it was specially fitted out for the Prime Minister’s two visits to Moscow during the war, in August 1942 and October 1944. There he’d sit, in a large bathtub, smoking his cigars and drinking whiskey, staring out the window and contemplating what to discuss with Josef Stalin.</p>
<p>Of the Prime Minister’s relations with Stalin, the American Churchill museum notes: ‘They never fully trusted each other. They had acrimonious differences. And, as a life-long anti-Bolshevik, Churchill harboured few illusions about Soviet post-war intentions. Nevertheless.. Churchill’s relationship with Stalin had the marks of respect. Churchill was fond of Stalin and enjoyed their interplay.’</p>
<p>Sir Alec Cadogan, Permanent Secretary at the UK Foreign Office, who accompanied Churchill on the visit, recalled their visits in vivid detail, including the amusing tale of a drunken banquet at the Kremlin involving Stalin, Churchill and Molotov. In terms of the substance, he said ‘I think the two great men really made contact and got on terms, Certainly, Winston was impressed, and I think that feeling was reciprocated…. Anyhow, conditions have been established in which messages exchanged between the two will mean twice as much, or more, than they did before’.</p>
<p>Despite huge differences, both leaders recognised the need to work together to defeat Hitler, and their meetings undoubtedly solidified and improved that partnership. Churchill wasn’t the first senior British politician the visit Moscow during the war. That accolade goes to Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden who travelled in January of 1942, having first visited Russia in 1935. Of his wartime visit he said:</p>
<p>‘I believe then, as I believe now, that there was no real conflict of interest between this country and the Soviet Union. I believed then as I believe now, that despite the many obvious differences, our overriding purpose was the same.’</p>
<p>Shortly before Eden’s visit, America had finally entered the war. But until that time, Britain and the Soviet Union had faced Nazi Germany, to the west and to the east, together, and practically alone.</p>
<p>When operation Barbarossa started, France was already out of the war, Britain was still licking its wounds from Dunkirk and being pushed out of North Africa by Rommel’s Afrika Corps. The Soviet Union held back the full force of Nazi Germany on the eastern front. US ground troops wouldn’t step foot on mainland Europe until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, having helped Britain push Rommel out of north Africa.</p>
<p>By then, Soviet forces had turned the tide against the Nazi advance at Stalingrad and were routing the Germans in the largest tank battle in history at Kursk, involving 2 million troops and around 6000 tanks. That’s an order of magnitude far greater than any battle waged by the British and Americans.</p>
<p>Most German troops who died during the war did so at the hand of the Soviet Army, not the British or American. I say this not to belittle British efforts, of which I am immensely proud.</p>
<p>I say it merely to encourage the many western commentators who criticise Victory Day commemorations in Moscow to have some perspective on why May 9 is important to Russian people. Not least because of huge differences of stance over the war in Ukraine, attempting to airbrush Russian history to demonstrate British and American exceptionalism is not only absurd it’s also deeply offensive.</p>
<p>Twenty seven million Soviet citizens died, around half from Russia, with very large numbers in Ukraine and Belarus. The Nazis were defeated, but at a huge cost. That is why Russia, and other former Soviet States commemorate Victory Day with such pride and solemnity. This has nothing to do with glorifying events happening in the present day in Ukraine or anywhere else. It was, as we would say in Britain, to remember those who, ‘for our tomorrow they gave their today’.</p>
<p>Yes, I understand and am aware of the excesses of the Stalin regime within the Soviet Union itself, something Russophobe critics like to point out at every turn. But, to go back to Churchill, Britain and the Soviet Union were allies in an existential fight against Hitler’s Germany. If you ever have a chance to visit Victory Park in Moscow, in Moscow, you may happen upon a bronze statue of a Soviet, American, British and French soldier. This alliance was, and still is, very symbolic to Russian people.</p>
<p>Britain delivered tens of thousands of items of military materiel to the Soviet Union during the war, including over 15000 trucks, plus tanks and fighter aircraft. The Arctic Convoys suffered terrible losses delivering this aid and that sacrifice is still remembered in Russia today.</p>
<p>But in fact, that was a drop in the ocean compared to the huge industrial shift that took place within Russia. In the teeth of the Nazi advance, around 1000 separate industrial enterprises were relocated from Belarus, Ukraine and Russia to the rear areas including to the Urals, where much of Russia’s military industrial complex remains today. In just two years, the Soviet Union became a military manufacturing juggernaut, for example, producing almost 60,000 T-34 tanks throughout the wartime period.</p>
<p>Stalingrad in particular drove military innovations, for example in the use of aircraft in ground support, the development of the Katyusha rocket system, an improvements in sniper rifle technology and tactics, made famous by Vasily Zaitsev.</p>
<p>The Soviet Union’s prized cultural heritage was shifted too, whole orchestras, opera and ballet companies moved to the Urals and Siberia. Visit Novosibirsk and you’ll find the impressive State Opera and Ballet theatre which opened just three days after the war ended, on 12 May 1945. The Leningrad Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra had been moved to Siberia just after the war started.</p>
<p>Eighty years after the war ended, it is these and other achievements that people throughout Russia remember on May 9, the Victory Day. At this time of remembrance, I pay tribute to all the forces of the Soviet Union for their magnificent struggle to defeat Nazi Germany, to those who died, to those who survived, and to all who still mourn the fallen. С днём Великой Победы!</p>

<p>I was in Volgograd on April 21, 2022. The streets were empty, even though it was already time for everyone to be rushing to work. After a walk along the Volga River, I crossed the city, passing by a statue of Lenin in the center, and arrived at the hill where the most beautiful monument dedicated to heroism and the exaltation of life in the entire world stands: Mamayev Kurgan.</p>
<p>I took the reverse of the traditional route and started from the end—the top of the hill. What stood before my eyes was almost surreal: an 85-meter-tall colossus, the tallest statue in the world for nearly a quarter of a century. “The Motherland Calls” is a representation of Nike, the Greek goddess of Victory, visible from almost every point in Volgograd. The city entered history when it still bore another name and, at the height of the Great Patriotic War, became the stage for the bloodiest and most epic battle in all of history: the Battle of Stalingrad. From July 1942 to February 2, 1943, when it was liberated, Stalingrad witnessed epic scenes, particularly from November onward, when the Red Army launched its counteroffensive. Amid the rubble, Soviet soldiers who had lost their rifles used knives or even their bare fists to strike the Germans. A heroic savagery that granted these men the status of martyrs, demigods. Sons of Nike. Sons of Victory.</p>
<p>Even before reaching the feet of the statue, one becomes acutely aware of their own insignificance as an individual. She appears as the Goddess herself, in her magnanimity, inspired by the martyrs who gave their lives here for the motherland. No—for humanity!</p>
<p>Her sword, raised as if touching the heavens, connecting those men to the gods, measures 33 meters. It is held by her right arm, while the left stretches to the side, where the face of the Goddess, the Mother, the Motherland, also turns—fierce, fearless, summoning her children to martyrdom, just as God summoned Christ to redeem all of humanity from its sins. The wind presses her tunic against her body. Barefoot, with her left foot forward, she leads the march to free her people from Nazi barbarity. Emilia! The greatest wonder I have ever laid eyes upon, yet one my hands could never touch.</p>
<p>From her feet, the entire city is visible, the Volga stretching ahead. I descend the hill and along the way see the tombstones of many heroes of that war on the grass. Here lie 35,000 unidentified soldiers, their bodies resting on this sacred hill. A ten-meter-tall sculpture marks the end of this section of the complex—a mother cradling the body of her son in her arms, just as Mary held Jesus after the Passion, his life given to the motherland for the liberation of Stalingrad.</p>
<p>We enter the enormous hall housing the Eternal Flame to the Unknown Soldier, an eight-meter-tall torch held by a hand at the center of the dome, guarded by perfectly still soldiers. The floor is marble, and the bronzed walls are covered with tapestries inscribed with the names of each of the one million soldiers and officers who fell defending the city. The dome’s ceiling displays the heroes’ medals and a St. George’s ribbon encircling it. We descend the ramp, circling the dome from within. In the background, a serene, hymn-like chant confirms to visitors that they stand in a truly sacred place—holier than any temple.</p>
<p>How can one not be moved remembering that in this country, 27 million lives were sacrificed due to the Nazi invasion? Children, women, the elderly, entire families. I confess I wept. The erasure of generations. A genocide that makes the Holocaust seem like child’s play. But why is this genocide not spoken of? Because while the Holocaust serves as a smokescreen to hide the fact that World War II was an inter-imperialist war—meaning the U.S. and Britain were also criminals, as were the crimes of the State of Israel—Russia is the land of communism, and imperialism could never portray communists as victims, least of all as <em>their</em> victims. More than that: Russia has always been a target for conquest, and thus must never be depicted as a victim but always, whenever possible, as the aggressor. What happened here was unimaginable suffering and a story of overcoming truly legendary in scale. I have no doubt: if there is a people in this world who yearn for peace, it is the Russians. A people battered and punished for refusing to submit to the worst criminals who ever lived. To this day, every Russian carries the scars of that great trauma in their hearts.</p>
<p>I emerge purified from the dome and see, just below it, a few steps down, the Square of Heroes, where six statues depict the different groups of men who fought in that war. The following steps are flanked by walls that are, in fact, a mosaic carved from the ruins of buildings bombed by the Germans—soldiers hurling grenades, holding flags and swords, marching with rifles. At the end stands the statue of a bare-chested soldier, as fierce as the Motherland, gazing at the horizon with a rifle in one hand and a grenade in the other, ready to give his life in that battle.</p>
<p>On the final steps of the complex (or rather, the first ones, at the bottom), the inscription:</p>
<p>“ЗА НАШУ СОВЕТСКУЮ РОДИНУ! СССР!”<br>
(For our Soviet Motherland! USSR!)</p>
<p>Beyond it, more figures and plaques honoring each Hero City of the Soviet Union. There are 200 steps in total, representing the 200 days of the Battle of Stalingrad.</p>

<p>Emmanuel Macron’s <a href="https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news-corner/president-macron-hosts-syrian-president-amid-controversy/">reception</a> of the new Syrian president in Paris has sparked a wave of outrage across the country. The French president hopes that the relationship thus established will provide guarantees for Syria’s future—a questionable strategy that has never proven successful in the past.</p>
<p>This was <a href="https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/le-president-syrien-accueilli-par-emmanuel-macron-a-l-elysee-lors-de-sa-premiere-visite-polemique-en-occident-20250507" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the first visit</a> to the West by interim Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa since his supporters came to power, leading to the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. After shaking hands, Macron and al-Sharaa gave a joint press conference.</p>
<p>The handshake between the two men on the steps of the Elysée Palace was met with fierce criticism from the right. “Stupor and dismay,” was Marine Le Pen’s reaction. “We do not receive leaders who are former terrorists and members of organisations that want to attack France,” added Laurent Wauquiez, leader of the Les Républicains MPs.</p>
<p>The diplomatic rapprochement with al-Sharaa is not going down well in the country of the Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan attacks. One of the founders of the al-Nusra Front, he welcomed the massacres in the French capital in November 2015. “We are pleased to see that a deviant sect has been able to carry out a successful operation against the kufars (infidels),” he said after the attacks that killed 130 people. The <a href="https://fr.timesofisrael.com/la-visite-controversee-du-president-syrien-a-paris/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Times of Israel</em></a> reveals that, given al-Sharaa’s background, France had to negotiate an exemption with the UN, as the new Syrian leader is on a list of individuals considered terrorists, which should prevent him from travelling abroad.</p>
<p>For the sovereigntist Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Macron deserves to be removed from office for such a gesture.</p>
<blockquote data-sanitized-class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="fr">Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, président de Debout la France, s’indigne sur la polémique autour d’Emmanuel Macron qui reçoit le président syrien : «Emmanuel Macron mérite la destitution», dans la <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GrandeInterview?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GrandeInterview</a> <a href="https://t.co/9N553Ef3a2">pic.twitter.com/9N553Ef3a2</a></p>

<p>Macron justified his meeting with the terrorist by saying he wanted to talk: he said he planned to ask the Syrian president to punish those responsible for the violence that happened when the regime changed in Damascus, which killed 1,700 people, including Christians and Alawites, members of the Muslim sect that Bashar al-Assad belongs to.</p>
<p>Faced with intense criticism, Macron sought to defend himself by arguing that these were “political posturing” intended to “appeal to the electorate.” He emphasised that al-Sharaa’s rise to power had been accompanied by “positive” gestures and rejected any suggestion of “naivety” on his part. During the press conference, he assured that he was aware of the “past” of certain Syrian leaders. The head of state must ask his host “to ensure that the fight against impunity becomes a reality” and that “those responsible for abuses against civilians” are “brought to justice,” the president’s entourage told the press. “Our demand is for the protection of all civilians, regardless of their origin or religion.”</p>
<p>Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot justified the president’s choice by saying that France did not want to leave the field open to Daesh. “The fight against terrorism, the control of migration flows, the control of drug trafficking,” as well as the future of neighbouring Lebanon, “all of this is being played out in Syria,” he explained.</p>
<p>The possibility of such a move yielding concrete results is slim, given that France, under President Macron, has virtually no international credibility and no means of exerting pressure.</p>
<p>Several dozen members of Syrian religious minorities persecuted since the fall of Assad—Alawites, Druze, Christians, but also Sunnis—demonstrated in Paris on Wednesday, May 7th, shouting “Jolani get out! Get out of France, get out of Syria!,” using the former <em>nom de guerre</em> of Ahmad al-Sharaa.</p>
<p>France is campaigning for <a href="https://www.tf1info.fr/international/syrie-emmanuel-macron-ahmad-al-chareh-le-president-francais-pret-a-une-levee-progressive-des-sanctions-mais-demande-de-proteger-tous-les-syriens-2369469.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the lifting of certain European sanctions</a> that have been in place against Syria since Assad and criticises the restrictions imposed by the United States, which it says are preventing reconstruction and investment in Syria.</p>

<p><strong>Nel buio e freddo luogo della dimenticanza</strong></p>
<p>L’indagine sulla tragedia di Ustica del 1980 è stata archiviata.</p>
<p>Le autorità giudiziarie italiane hanno deciso di archiviare tutti i procedimenti relativi al disastro avvenuto il 27 giugno 1980 sul Mar Tirreno.</p>
<p>Dopo oltre quarant’anni di indagini giudiziarie, rogatorie internazionali e testimonianze spesso parziali o discordanti, la strage di Ustica rischia di rimanere senza colpevoli. Nell’aprile 2025, la Procura di Roma ha ufficialmente chiuso tutte le indagini sul disastro del DC-9 della compagnia aerea ITAVIA. Il disastro causò la morte di 81 persone. Le autorità francesi, israeliane e statunitensi hanno rifiutato di collaborare con le autorità italiane (e capiremo come mai). L’ipotesi di un ordigno esploso a bordo è stata definitivamente esclusa, mentre resta valida quella di un combattimento aereo, che però non ha portato all’identificazione di alcun responsabile.</p>
<p>Durante tutte le indagini non sono mai stati ottenuti dati sul funzionamento dei radar della portaerei americana SARATOGA e dell’aereo DLRO E-3. La versione dei media italiani sulla responsabilità dell’incidente dell’aereo da combattimento americano della 37ª squadriglia con base sulla USS SARATOGA (nei rottami sono stati trovati frammenti di un serbatoio di carburante sospeso con la livrea degli aerei da combattimento) è rimasta solo una versione. La verità e le prove sono state nascoste per compiacere la solidarietà euro-atlantica. I responsabili non sono stati puniti. I risarcimenti ai parenti delle vittime sono stati irrisori e sono stati versati solo nel 2023, in seguito alla sentenza della Corte d’Appello di Roma.</p>
<p>Nel 2007 la Corte di Cassazione stabilì che il DC-9 era stato abbattuto da un missile, probabilmente in uno scenario di guerra. Nel 2013 si comincia a parlare di risarcimenti. Nessuno è stato formalmente condannato per l’abbattimento dell’aereo. Ci sono state ben 20 sentenze, ma in nessuna si è pronunciato il nome di un qualche “colpevole”. Itavia ebbe pure <a href="https://www.tgcom24.mediaset.it/cronaca/ustica-sottratti-risarcimenti-itavia-sequestro-gdf-130-milioni_81894066-202402k.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">il tempo di truffare</a> il fisco italiano e le famiglie delle vittime, restando poi condannata da parte della magistratura, con sequestri da parte delle autorità. I funzionari ebbero modo di d<a href="https://www.open.online/2023/09/15/strage-di-ustica-giuseppe-dioguardi-documenti-sismi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">istruggere documenti</a> su Ustica per evitate che trapelasse la verità.</p>
<p>Adesso viene fuori l’archiviazione, che è il metodo classico per collocare nell’oblio della dimenticanza un fatto storico la cui verità NON deve essere conosciuta.</p>
<p>Ma andiamo per ordine, perché le indagini e i depistaggi, di pari passo con gli sviluppi giudiziari, continuano ad avere qualcosa di incredibile. Di sicuro in questo momento storico è indispensabile per Israele tutelarsi, per l’Unione Europea (dunque politicamente per la Francia) mantenersi uniti ed evitare che scandali internazionali possano peggiorare le relazioni tra questi Paesi.</p>
<p>Ah, un elemento interessante: il giudice Paolo Borsellino, ucciso in un attentato della Mafia, <a href="https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2024/03/05/ustica-augias-a-la-confessione-rai3-di-gomez-dopo-la-telefonata-dellaviere-a-telefono-giallo-borsellino-mi-chiamo-e-riapri-linchiesta/7469072/">volle riaprire il caso </a>Ustica. Sarà un caso che ad essere ucciso sia stato proprio lui, poco tempo dopo?</p>
<p><strong>Cosa accadde veramente, solo pochi lo sanno</strong></p>
<p>Nel 1980, le tensioni con Israele erano palpabili, e la figura di Gheddafi cominciava a imporsi con forza sulla scena internazionale. Il leader libico desiderava un ruolo più rilevante, ma non gli veniva concesso. Deluso e insoddisfatto, iniziò a muoversi per recuperare quella credibilità che, da dittatore, si era costruito tenendo unite le tribù libiche – un compito tutt’altro che semplice senza un uomo forte al comando. Questo, forse, è qualcosa che tutti dovrebbero comprendere.</p>
<p>Gheddafi ottenne visibilità internazionale, soprattutto grazie ai suoi rapporti con l’Italia. Un giorno del 1980, si stava dirigendo a Belgrado per una riunione. Giulio Andreotti, notoriamente ben informato su tutto e tutti, venne a sapere di un possibile attentato contro il presidente libico durante il viaggio. All’altezza di Malta, Andreotti – tramite l’ambasciata – avvisò Gheddafi del pericolo. A quel punto, però, lui aveva già cambiato rotta ed evitato l’attentato.</p>
<p>Lo sapevano tutti: su quell’aereo Gheddafi non c’era più.</p>
<p>Quel giorno, un DC-9 dell’Itavia decollò da Bologna diretto a Palermo, con un ritardo di un’ora e 35 minuti – un dettaglio mai spiegato chiaramente. Due aerei militari partirono da una base vicino Varese e si misero in scia al DC-9. Da lì in poi, la vicenda si complica.</p>
<p>Se avessimo letto correttamente i segnali fin dall’inizio, forse avremmo potuto evitare altre 15 vittime negli anni successivi. Quegli aerei non potevano arrivare fino in Libia: non avrebbero avuto carburante sufficiente. Al massimo, potevano raggiungere Palermo. Ma a fare cosa? Su quel volo, Gheddafi non c’era. Era una manovra d’intelligence, una delle più raffinate mai attuate.</p>
<p>Nel Mediterraneo, area iper-controllata dai radar e dalle basi militari – da Napoli, ad esempio – erano presenti aerei italiani, americani, francesi, e persino un sommergibile inglese. Pensiamo a casi analoghi, come quello della funivia in Friuli, tranciata da aerei americani: lì, si ammise la colpa e tutto finì in fretta. Invece, per Ustica, si è preferito parlare di “cedimenti strutturali” e altre spiegazioni poco credibili.</p>
<p>Cosa accadde davvero? Si sa che dalla base di Solenzara, in Corsica, decollarono quattro caccia. Solo tre fecero ritorno. Nell’area vi fu un combattimento aereo. Non si trattò di una bomba, ma di un abbattimento. Secondo alcune fonti, i jet erano israeliani. E tutto torna, se consideriamo che Gheddafi non era a bordo del DC-9, ma c’era probabilmente qualcosa di molto più prezioso nella stiva.</p>
<p>Materiale nucleare? Uranio? Plutonio? Forse. Secondo alcuni, quel carico era destinato a Gheddafi o all’Iran. O a entrambi.</p>
<p>E c’è un altro fatto inquietante: tra i corpi recuperati, alcuni passeggeri erano vestiti con giubbotti salvagente, senza scarpe, con i piedi anneriti. Questo dettaglio è importante: il contatto tra certi materiali radioattivi e l’acqua può causare annerimento della pelle. È un indizio. E fa pensare che ci fosse qualcosa di estremamente pericoloso e segreto nella stiva dell’aereo.</p>
<p>Se l’aereo fu colpito, come si dice, i passeggeri non avrebbero avuto il tempo materiale per indossare i giubbotti e togliersi le scarpe. Allora cosa accadde veramente? Ci sono persino testimonianze che parlano di un ammaraggio dell’areo, che però ufficialmente risulta abbattuto.</p>
<p>Ora, si tenga presente che Gheddafi era un uomo che conosceva bene i meccanismi del potere. Per mantenere la sua posizione, sapeva quanto fosse importante coltivare contatti strategici. In diversi hanno affermato che aveva scoperto un vasto lago sotterraneo nel deserto libico: una risorsa immensa, potenzialmente rivoluzionaria. Aveva anche accumulato ingenti riserve auree, come ben noto. Se avesse potuto iniziare già allora a liberarsi del franco francese e utilizzare la sua moneta, o almeno il capitale a disposizione, avrebbe potuto finanziare l’estrazione dell’acqua e trasformare il deserto in una sorta di “kibbutz” su scala nazionale. Sarebbe diventato uno Stato autarchico, indipendente dalle potenze occidentali. Ma c’era un ostacolo troppo grande: Israele. Già all’epoca, negli anni ’80, faceva paura. Si sapeva che possedeva l’arma nucleare. E Gheddafi, da solo, era troppo debole per opporsi a una tale forza.</p>
<p>Non dobbiamo dimenticare un altro fatto cruciale: nel 1972, durante le Olimpiadi di Monaco, un attentato colpì la delegazione israeliana. Morì un atleta, e la reazione fu spietata. La premier israeliana Golda Meir stilò la famigerata “lista X” e incaricò alcuni agenti del Mossad, ai quali fu data una nuova identità, di rintracciare e uccidere i responsabili dell’attacco. Dieci su undici furono eliminati. Solo uno sopravvisse a un attentato e non fu più perseguito.</p>
<p>Questo dimostra che, quando Israele percepisce una minaccia alla propria sicurezza nazionale, reagisce in modo diretto, preciso e segreto. Basta una percezione: il bersaglio viene individuato e colpito.</p>
<p>E qui torniamo all’Italia. Dopo il disastro del DC-9 Itavia, i francesi furono incaricati di recuperare i resti dell’aereo. Recuperarono oggetti minuscoli: portafogli, documenti d’identità, perfino effetti personali. Ma qualcosa di ben più grande, come il timone di coda – un pezzo enorme e fondamentale – non fu mai trovato. Com’è possibile?</p>
<p>Affidare il recupero del relitto a chi, quella notte, potrebbe essere stato coinvolto negli eventi, è sembrato, francamente, assurdo. Come chiedere all’oste se il vino è buono. Possibile che l’Italia non avesse i mezzi per occuparsene? O, almeno, che non si potesse coinvolgere un altro paese, accompagnato da personale militare italiano?</p>
<p>Il 25 giugno 2024, <a href="https://t.me/VQBChannel/147568" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alla trasmissione televisiva</a> serale di Giletti, un ex militare francese ha affermato che ricevette l’ordine di dire agli italiani che il radar era in manutenzione. <a href="https://www.quotidiano.net/cronaca/strage-di-ustica-francia-tracciati-58810de7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vennero negati i tracciati</a>, venne depistato tutto, ancora una volta. La Francia, ancella dell’asse Londra-Tel Aviv, non doveva sporcarsi la mani.</p>
<p>E così, mentre ritrovano oggetti minuscoli, il timone scompare. Proprio quello che poteva contenere le prove più rilevanti. Una “giungla ministeriale”, direbbe Salgari. Ma qui non si tratta di romanzi d’avventura.</p>
<p>Nel frattempo, ci hanno raccontato tutto. A pezzi. Versioni contrastanti, depistaggi, mezze verità. Ma poi, quando arrivano le sentenze, dicono tutt’altro.</p>
<p>Alla fine, 96 persone hanno perso la vita. Non solo chi sapeva troppo. Tutti hanno avuto lo stesso tragico destino. Il vero scandalo è che, ancora oggi, questo segreto rimane custodito, lontano dalla conoscenza del popolo italiano. Che ancora si cela di dire quale è stato il ruolo di USA, Israele e Francia e quanto l’Italia fosse partecipe di tutto ciò.</p>
<p>E allora, come possiamo davvero dire di stare bene, se verità così gravi vengono ancora taciute?</p>

<p>The recent opinion piece <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f5fd6f8d-06a7-4d1f-b842-752e3aca9272" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from the Financial Times</a> which, in a nutshell, argues that the West should be ashamed by its silence on Gaza is poignant in many ways. Not least for the fact that its author is a British Lebanese editor-in-chief, nor for that matter that it chooses not to point the finger directly at Brussels (there is no greater English language media outlet which is a bigger supporter of the project) but more for its <em>timing</em>. Certainly, the pathetic platitudes like this have come very late and now offer no real substance to helping the Palestinians with their immediate needs – to eat and to stop Israeli wiping them out. But they could arguably be seen as a signal to the western world at precisely the moment Trump arrives in the Middle East to do his dancing with the Saudis and their swords. It took an ‘Arab’ of sorts to see the moment.</p>
<p>Trump will meet Saudi Arabia’s polemic Crown Prince ‘MbS’ in mid-May and then fly onto Qatar to meet the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim al-Thani. On May 15, he’ll visit Abu Dhabi and meet Emirati President Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ).</p>
<p>In other words, he starts with those who believe they are running the Middle East, then goes to those who have the cash to do it, but aren’t sure about how to go about it and ends with the leading Arab figure who most analysts agree <em>really</em> is in charge of the whole shooting match.</p>
<p>The main reason for the stunt is to secure big business deals and, perhaps in the vestibules of power discuss geopolitics and conflict as if he can tap into the infinite wisdom of MbZ in Abu Dhabi, then that would be considered a cherry on top of the gateau. The UAE has influence in the entire region that its neighbours do not and could be very useful to Trump with resolving the Yemen threat, tensions in Lebanon, a new Iran nuclear deal and even defusing Pakistan-Indian conflict.</p>
<p>What is interesting about the Middle East visit is that it doesn’t include an Israel stop.</p>
<p>The FT opinion piece gives us a clue as to why. The article claims that Israel is now implementing Trump’s plan to relocate Palestinians outside of Gaza but in reality even the FT can’t admit the truth and assists the West with their fake news ruse. The truth is that Netanyahu’s plan now is to simply wipe out by any means as many Palestinians as possible by the most gruesome ethnic cleansing and starvation at his disposal. What are the numbers of Palestinian children dying through malnutrition? Or those killed by the Israeli attacks? Strangely the FT is unable to help us here.</p>
<p>The article, which caused quite a stir on social media given that it was the first time that a western media giant pointed the finger at western elites (without being too specific) over Gaza, might be a relief mechanism for western guilt however. Indeed, while it fails to point out the events leading up to the October the 7<sup>th</sup> attacks, it does at least point out that there is an opportunity for Arab elites to stand up to Trump and tell him to restrain Netanyahu.</p>
<p>“Trump will put the onus on Hamas when speaking to his Gulf hosts” it reads. “The group’s murderous October 7 attack is what triggered the Israeli offensive. Gulf states agree that its continued stranglehold on Gaza is a factor prolonging the war. But they must stand up to Trump and convince him to pressure Netanyahu to end the killing, lift the siege and return to talks”.</p>
<p>What is interesting is how deceitful western media has become, even the revered pink pages that were once the bastion of erudite and responsible journalism. The piece does what the EU itself cannot do which is at least indicate where the moral compass should be on Israel and Palestine – even if it is part of the conspiracy to feed western readers with lies and half-truths. Even the FT has become nuance-free, remarkably. Is the FT, which has such a sycophantic relationship with the EU – the European Commission in particular – now taking the lead, on the behest of national EU member states, telling the Commission that it also needs to tighten the reins a bit on Bibi? Can the tail wag the dog in Brussels?</p>

<p>Germany has a new government. Friedrich Merz was just confirmed as the country’s 10th postwar chancellor – though only narrowly. The confirmation followed an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/06/chaos-in-the-german-bundestag-whats-next-for-friedrich-merz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embarrassing first-round failure</a> in the Bundestag; nearly 20 coalition MPs withheld their votes in a secret ballot. Merz – a former lobbyist and the CDU’s right-wing counterpoint to Angela Merkel’s open-border legacy – barely scraped through on the second attempt, securing 325 votes (just nine above the needed minimum).</p>
<p>This wasn’t just a procedural hiccup. It exposed the fragility of this new CDU/SPD coalition, hastily formed after <a href="https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/germany-after-the-election-rightward" target="_blank" rel="noopener">February’s snap election</a> produced no clear mandate. The Social Democrats, relegated to junior status after their worst result in over a century, enter this government weakened, without a clear sense of direction.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the far-right AfD cemented its status as the largest opposition force. The bigger surprise, though, came from Die Linke, which <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/03/afd-berlin-new-young-left-election-germany-die-linke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outperformed expectations</a> back in Febuary. Their strategy? Steering clear of immigrant scapegoating and refusing to throw minorities under the bus (as did all other established parties). Instead, they focused on bread and butter issues like rent, heating costs, and wages – it worked.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Merz now takes office not as a unifier, but as a chancellor wedged somewhere between rebellion and restoration. “Thank you for the trust,” he told Bundestag President Julia Klöckner after the vote. It sounded less like a victory speech – more like a sigh of relief.</p>
<p>While pundits fixated on the parliamentary drama, the deeper story of this new government lies in the cabinet. This isn’t just a fragile coalition – it marks the opening chapter of an ideological project. Germany’s direction is clear: a shift away from the pretense of self-reflection, toward a colder and more militarized vision of the German state and identity. This government signals conservative realignment, both cultural and geopolitical.</p>
<p>One of Merz’s telling appointments, though often overlooked in the international coverage, is Germany’s new culture minister, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_Weimer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wolfram Weimer</a>. Publisher of the right-wing magazine <em>Cicero</em>, polemicist by trade, and architect of a ‘conservative renaissance,’ Weimer spent years preparing the ideological groundwork for this role. His 2018 <em>Conservative Manifesto</em> reads like a compendium of right-wing clichés: Eurocentric supremacy, Christian identity politics, and biological essentialism – in other words, racism and transphobia – veiled as civilizational self-confidence.</p>

<p>Snapshot from Wolfram Weimer’s <em>Conservative Manifesto</em>, polemicizing against “gender ideology” as a supposedly corrosive force</p>
<p>In his manifesto, Weimer laments: “For millennia, each generation has viewed the continuation of their family, bloodline, kin, tribe, nation, culture, and civilization as a sacred moment of life. Today, this consciousness shatters into pieces.” He also rails against what he calls “gender ideology” – a now-standard far-right trope echoed by both MAGA and the AfD – casting it as a corrosive threat to family and marriage. “The biological difference between man and woman,” he writes, “is not a matter of individual freedom of choice for the conservative. It is sheer reality.”</p>

<div data-sanitized-class="container-IpPqBD">

<div data-sanitized-class="sideBySideWrap-vGXrwP">
<p>If Merz now performs the part of Germany’s sober manager, Weimer is scripting the ideological subplot: reclaiming German identity from what the CDU derides as “woke influence.” Under Weimer, expect <em>Kulturkampf</em>, not <em>Kulturpolitik</em> – culture wielded not as soft power, but as an instrument of ideological enforcement. And for what it’s worth: Merz and Weimer are also golf buddies.</p>
</div>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Foreign policy is shifting as well. Just a day after the election results in February, Merz <a href="https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/the-price-of-hypocrisy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced his plan</a> to invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Germany, despite the active ICC arrest warrant. The move openly defies international law and undermines any pretense of global accountability. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier is set to meet Netanyahu in Israel on May 13th. All of this unfolds against the backdrop of the <a href="https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/why-germany-wont-call-it-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza</a>, which Germany continues to support both militarily and rhetorically.</p>
<p>Germany’s new Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, is a veteran CDU lawmaker and NATO hawk. His language centers on “strategic sovereignty” – the subtext is clear: in his view, Germany has been too soft, too self-critical, too constrained. It marks a break from the rhetoric of Annalena Baerbock’s so-called “feminist” foreign policy – a doctrine that, for all its progressive gloss, <a href="https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/why-germany-wont-call-it-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">helped enable Israel’s genocide in Gaza</a> and kept the arms flowing to regimes like Turkey and Saudi Arabia.</p>

<div data-sanitized-id="error-container">Wadephul is unlikely to hit the brakes on any of this. What he <em>will</em> do, though, is drop the feel-good language. Under his watch, expect less talk of “values” – more of “interests.”</div>

<p>Last November, <a href="https://x.com/JoWadephul/status/1861857596128325925" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a post on X</a>, Wadephul declared it “unthinkable” that a democratically elected Israeli leader (speaking of Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu) would be arrested on German soil, mocking the very notion of international law, revealing his own glaring double standard.</p>

<p>Germany’s new foreign minister declaring it “unthinkable” that Netanyahu could be arrested in Germany – defying the authority of the ICC.</p>
<p>What we’re witnessing with this new government is a project of right-wing restoration, mirroring similar shifts in other Western countries, and in many ways echoing the realignment in the U.S.: a reassertion of ethno-identity politics, wrapped in a language of political pragmatism – and “normalcy.”</p>
<p>In this context, the real success of the AfD – recently designated a right-wing extremist party by Germany’s constitutional protection services, and now facing renewed calls for its ban – may not only lie in its electoral gains. It’s in how far both conservative and liberal parties have shifted their platforms in response to its rise.</p>
<p>Another notable post: The senior editor of one of Germany’s leading liberal newspapers, <em>Süddeutsche Zeitung</em>, Stefan Kornelius, will now serve as the government’s spokesperson, further eroding the credibility of legacy media in Germany. This comes at a time when that credibility has already been seriously compromised, especially in light of <a href="https://www.972mag.com/bild-german-media-netanyahu-bibileaks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the media’s handling of Gaza</a>. Trust in traditional outlets sharply declined. Kornelius’ appointment signals a media establishment aligned with the state, rather than acting as an independent check on power.</p>
<p>I learned that predicting the future is one of the lowest forms of journalism, and I’m reluctant to indulge in that too much. But one thing seems clear: this is a pivot point. The question isn’t whether Germany is shifting to the right – it’s how far, and how fast.</p>
<p>As this happens, we can also expect a further erosion of civil liberties – a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/03/germany-deporting-pro-palestine-eu-citizens-chilling-new-step" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trend that clearly worsended</a> under the last liberal administration. Cloaked in the language of national security, the government is likely to tighten its grip on free speech, assembly, and protest. Expect this crackdown to target pro-Palestinian activists and climate protesters first. In a climate of rising nationalism and militarism, the state’s increasing grip on public discourse and its growing intolerance of criticism are the clearest signs of this shift.</p>

<p><strong>Conferencia en Budapest el 8 de abril de 2025</strong></p>
<p><em>Abro este diario con la transcripción de una conferencia pronunciada ante <strong>Várkert Bazár </strong>en Budapest, Hungría, a principios de abril, en el marco <strong>de la Conferencia Eötvös </strong>organizada por <strong>el Institut du XXIe Siècle</strong>. Como este viaje no pasó desapercibido, he querido hacerlo lo más público posible, para que cada cual pueda formarse su propia opinión. En una época en la que es fácil enfrentarse a calumnias y fantasías, creo que es importante garantizar que la información pueda circular libremente y con transparencia en Europa.</em></p>
<p><em>Emmanuel Todd, 29 de abril de 2025.</em></p>
<p>La transcripción completa (la versión inglesa seguirá en un próximo post):</p>
<p><strong>Mi deuda con Hungría</strong></p>
<p>Gracias por esta presentación tan amable y halagadora. Debo confesar de entrada que estoy muy emocionado de estar en Budapest para hablar de la derrota, de la dislocación del mundo occidental, porque mi carrera como autor comenzó tras un viaje a Hungría.</p>
<p>Tenía 25 años, fui allí en 1975, entré en contacto con estudiantes húngaros, hablamos y me di cuenta de que el comunismo había muerto en la mente de la gente. Tuve una visión intuitiva del fin del comunismo en Budapest en 1975.</p>
<p>Después regresé a París y, un poco por casualidad, en las estadísticas del Instituto Nacional de Estudios Demográficos encontré datos sobre el aumento de la tasa de mortalidad infantil en Rusia y Ucrania, en la parte central de la URSS, y tuve intuición del inminente colapso del sistema soviético.</p>
<p>Acaba de ver la portada de mi primer libro (La chute finale: Essai sur la décomposition de la sphère soviétique). Todo empezó en Budapest y siento que tengo una deuda de gratitud Hungría. Es conmovedor e impresionante estar en esta hermosa sala, después de haber conocido ayer a su Primer Ministro, y dar una conferencia cuando, hace medio siglo, llegué aquí en tren, al albergue juvenil, como un miserable estudiante que no sabía lo que encontraría en Budapest.</p>
<p><strong>La humildad necesaria</strong></p>
<p>La experiencia de este primer libro y el colapso del comunismo me hicieron ser prudente. Por supuesto, mi predicción era correcta, estaba muy seguro: <strong><em>el aumento de la mortalidad infantil es un indicador muy, muy seguro</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Pero unos 15 años más tarde, cuando el sistema soviético se derrumbó, debo admitir humildemente que no comprendía del todo lo que estaba ocurriendo. Nunca hubiera podido imaginar los efectos de esta desintegración en el conjunto de la esfera soviética. La fácil adaptación de las antiguas democracias populares no me sorprendió tanto. En mi libro, La caída final, señalé las enormes diferencias de dinamismo que existían entre Hungría, Polonia y Checoslovaquia, por ejemplo, y la propia Unión Soviética.</p>
<p>Pero el colapso de Rusia en la década de 1990 fue algo que nunca hubiera podido prever. La razón fundamental de mi incapacidad para comprender o prever el colapso de la propia Rusia es que no me di cuenta de que el comunismo no era sólo una organización económica para Rusia, sino también una especie de religión. <em>Era el credo que permitía la existencia del sistema y, por supuesto, su disolución representaba algo al menos tan grave como la quiebra del sistema económico.</em></p>
<p>Todo esto tiene que ver con el presente. En mi discurso hablaré de <strong><em>dos cosas</em></strong>. <strong><em>Voy a hablar de la derrota de Occidente</em></strong>, que es una cuestión bastante técnica, no muy difícil y que no me sorprendió, que predije y que ya está ocurriendo en cierta medida en Ucrania. Pero ahora <strong><em>estamos en la siguiente fase</em></strong>, que es <strong><em>la dislocación de Occidente</em></strong>, y tengo que decir que, al igual que con la dislocación del comunismo, del sistema soviético, no puedo entender en absoluto lo que está ocurriendo.</p>
<p>La actitud fundamental que debemos tener ahora es la de, yo diría, humildad. Todo lo que está ocurriendo, sobre todo tras la elección de Donald Trump, me sorprende.</p>
<p><em>La violencia con la que Donald Trump ha arremetido contra sus aliados y súbditos ucranianos y europeos me sorprende</em>. <em>La determinación de los europeos de continuar o reanudar la guerra</em> (cuando Europa es sin duda la región del mundo que más se beneficiaría de la paz) <em>también me sorprende enormemente</em>. Debemos partir de estas sorpresas para reflexionar sobre lo que está ocurriendo.</p>
<p>Empezaré explicando hasta qué punto la derrota de Occidente nunca ha sido un problema para mí, y después intentaré expresar mis dudas y plantear algunas hipótesis. Pero les ruego que <em>disculpen mi falta de certeza en esta fase</em>. Presentarse como seguro de lo que ocurrirá sería, sencillamente, un signo de locura megalómana.</p>
<p>Me llamaron investigador (en la presentación), y me gustaría decir qué tipo de persona soy intelectualmente: no soy un ideólogo. Tengo ideas políticas, soy liberal de izquierdas, no importa, esa no es la cuestión. Estoy aquí como historiador, como futurista, como alguien que intenta comprender lo que está pasando.</p>
<p><strong>Creo que soy capaz, o</strong> <strong>intento serlo, de detectar las tendencias históricas aunque no me gusten</strong>. <strong>Intento estar «fuera» de la historia, nunca es del todo posible, pero es lo que intento hacer.</strong></p>
<p>En <strong><em>primer lugar</em></strong>, repasaré brevemente las tesis de mi libro que, debo confesar, me proporcionó el placer de hacer una predicción a velocidad de vértigo. Tuve que esperar otros 15 años para que mi predicción sobre el colapso del sistema soviético se hiciera realidad. <strong><em>En el caso de la derrota militar y económica de Estados Unidos, Europa y Ucrania a manos de Rusia, sólo tuve que esperar un año.</em></strong></p>
<p>Recuerdo muy bien que escribí mi libro en el verano de 2023, en un momento en que, en todas las cadenas de televisión francesas y sin duda occidentales, los periodistas se devanaban los sesos sobre la inteligencia de la contraofensiva ucraniana organizada por el Pentágono estadounidense.</p>
<p><em>En aquel momento, no me molestaba en absoluto escribir, con absoluta tranquilidad, que la derrota de Occidente era segura</em>.</p>
<p><strong>¿Por qué estaba tan seguro? Porque trabajaba con un modelo histórico completo de la situación.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Estabilidad rusa</strong></p>
<p>Sabía que Rusia era una potencia estabilizada. Era consciente de las enormes penurias y sufrimientos del pueblo ruso en la década de 1990, pero en el periodo 2000-2020, mientras todo el mundo decía que Vladimir Putin era un monstruo, mientras la gente decía que los rusos eran sumisos o estúpidos, vi cómo se desarrollaban o <em>aparecían datos que demostraban que Rusia se estaba estabilizando</em>.</p>
<p>Se publicó en Francia un excelente libro de <strong>David Teurtrie<em>, Russie: le retour de la puissance</em></strong>, en el que Teurtrie (que acaba de aparecer brevemente en pantalla, en una discusión que he mantenido con él) mostraba la estabilización de la economía rusa, la autonomización del sistema bancario ruso, la forma en que los rusos conseguían protegerse de las represalias en el ámbito de la electrónica y la informática, de todas las sanciones que los europeos podían imponer.</p>
<p>Su libro describía el retorno de la eficiencia rusa en la producción agrícola, así como en la producción y exportación de centrales nucleares.</p>
<p>Tenía una visión razonable de Rusia. Tenía mis indicadores. Todavía controlo la mortalidad infantil, el indicador que me permitió predecir el colapso del sistema soviético. Pero la <em>mortalidad infantil está disminuyendo rápidamente en Rusia</em>.</p>
<p>En 2022, y esto sigue siendo cierto<em>, la mortalidad infantil rusa había caído por debajo de la estadounidense.</em> Me da un poco de pena decirlo, pero creo que este año (tengo que comprobarlo) <em>la mortalidad infantil rusa ha caído por debajo de la de Francia</em>.</p>
<p>También se produjo <em>un descenso de la tasa de suicidios en Rusia y un descenso de la tasa de asesinatos</em>. Así que tenía todos los indicadores necesarios para ver que Rusia se estabilizaba. Y también tenía mi trabajo como antropólogo.</p>
<p>Mi verdadera especialidad es el análisis de los sistemas familiares, que eran muy diferentes en el pasado campesino, y la relación de estos sistemas familiares con las estructuras sociales y la forma de las naciones. El sistema familiar ruso era un sistema comunitario.</p>
<p>En la familia campesina rusa estaban el padre, sus hijos, los valores autoridad e igualdad, algo que alimentaba un sentimiento colectivo y nacional muy fuerte. Y si no fui capaz de anticipar el sufrimiento ruso de los años 90, gracias a este análisis de un sistema familiar ruso específico, <strong><em>sí pude anticipar el resurgimiento de una Rusia estable y sólida que no sería una democracia occidental</em></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Su sistema aceptaría las reglas del mercado, pero el Estado seguiría siendo fuerte, al igual que el deseo de soberanía nacional. No tenía ninguna duda sobre la solidez de Rusia.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Occidente: un colapso a largo plazo</strong></p>
<p>También veía a Occidente de una forma inusual. Había trabajado sobre Estados Unidos durante mucho tiempo y sabía de antemano que <em>la expansión estadounidense en Europa del Este, la expansión de la OTAN en Europa del Este, se había producido por el colapso del comunismo y la caída temporal de Rusia, pero que no correspondía a una dinámica estadounidense real</em>.</p>
<p>Desde 1965, <strong><em>los niveles de educación han descendido en EEUU</em></strong> y, por supuesto, a partir de los años setenta y ochenta. <strong><em>Desde principios de la década de 2000, el libre comercio elegido por EEUU y Occidente condujo a la destrucción de gran parte del aparato industrial estadounidense</em></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Por tanto, partí de la visión de un sistema occidental en expansión, pero que implosionaba en su núcleo. Pude predecir que la industria estadounidense no bastaría para producir suficientes armas para que los ucranianos alimentaran su guerra contra los rusos.</strong></p>
<p>Pero más allá de eso, me había topado con un indicador muy importante que <em>describía las capacidades respectivas de Rusia y Estados Unidos</em> <em>para producir y formar ingenieros</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Me di cuenta de que Rusia, a pesar de tener una población dos veces y media menor que la de Estados Unidos, era capaz de producir más ingenieros y, sin duda, más técnicos y trabajadores cualificados que Estados Unidos.</strong></p>
<p>Sencillamente porque en Estados Unidos el 7% de los alumnos estudian ingeniería, mientras que en Rusia el porcentaje debe rondar el 25%. Incluso más allá de esto, había llegado a comprender la profundidad de la crisis estadounidense: <em>detrás de la incapacidad para formar ingenieros, o antes de esta incapacidad, detrás de la caída del nivel educativo, estaba el colapso de lo que había hecho fuerte a Estados Unidos, <strong>la tradición educativa protestante</strong>.</em></p>
<p>Max Weber vio en el auge de Occidente (y no sólo Max Weber) el auge del mundo protestante. El mundo protestante era muy fuerte en términos de educación. El protestantismo exigía que los fieles tuvieran acceso a las Sagradas Escrituras.</p>
<p>El éxito de los países protestantes en la revolución industrial, el éxito de Inglaterra, el éxito de Alemania, que era protestante en dos tercios, y por supuesto el éxito de Estados Unidos fue el auge de los países protestantes.</p>
<p>En este y otros libros, he analizado la evolución de la religión, desde la etapa de una <strong>religión activa</strong>, con poblaciones creyentes que practican los valores sociales de su religión, a una etapa que denomino <strong><em>religión zombi</em></strong><em>,</em> en la que la creencia ha desaparecido pero los valores sociales -y morales- permanecen, hasta una <strong>etapa cero de la religión, </strong>en la que <em>no sólo ha desaparecido la creencia, sino también los valores sociales y morales, el potencial de liderazgo, la educación…</em></p>
<p>En el caso de Estados Unidos, para aceptar la hipótesis de <strong><em>una religión cero</em></strong>, hay que comprender que las nuevas religiones estadounidenses, el evangelicalismo en particular, ya no son la religión que eran, han dejado de ser constrictivas y se han convertido en otra cosa.</p>
<p>Yo tenía esta visión de Occidente. No me gusta hablar de decadencia, pero los escritores estadounidenses han hablado de decadencia. Tenía toda esta secuencia, así que estaba muy seguro.</p>
<p>En La derrota de Occidente, también hablé de <strong><em>la violencia estadounidense, de la preferencia estadounidense por la guerra y de las interminables guerras estadounidenses</em></strong>. Explicaba esta preferencia por un <strong><em>vacío religioso que alimenta la angustia y conduce a una deificación del vacío</em></strong>. Utilizo la palabra nihilismo varias veces en mi libro.</p>
<p><strong>¿Qué es el nihilismo?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Surge de un vacío moral, de la aspiración a destruir cosas, a destruir individuos y a destruir la realidad.</strong></p>
<p>Detrás de las ideologías un tanto insensatas que han aparecido en Estados Unidos y en partes del resto de Occidente -pienso en particular en <em>las ideologías transgénero, en el cambio de sexo como posibilidad- he visto una expresión</em> (no necesariamente la más grave) <em>pero sin embargo una expresión de nihilismo, un impulso de destruir la realidad</em>.</p>
<p>No tuve ningún problema en predecir la derrota estadounidense. Llegó un poco más rápido de lo que esperaba. Y la guerra no ha terminado. Yo plantearía la posibilidad de una reactivación de la guerra, pero está claro que en la administración Trump esta conciencia de la derrota es bastante aguda.</p>
<p><strong>Derrota militar y revolución</strong></p>
<p>Y aquí les invito a intentar ver las cosas un poco al revés. No puedo demostrarlo, pero esto es lo que creo profundamente: <strong><em>la victoria electoral de Donald Trump debe entenderse como una consecuencia de la derrota militar.</em></strong></p>
<p>Estamos en lo que pronto se llamará, o ya se está llamando, una revolución de Trump, una revolución del trumpismo. <em>Pero una revolución tras una derrota militar es un fenómeno histórico clásico. </em>Esto no significa que la revolución no tuviera causas sociales internas.</p>
<p><strong>Pero la derrota militar produjo una <em>deslegitimación de las clases altas</em> que allanó el camino para las revueltas políticas.</strong></p>
<p>Los ejemplos históricos son numerosos. <em>El más sencillo y evidente es el de las revoluciones rusas. La revolución rusa de 1905 siguió a la derrota de Japón.</em> La revolución rusa de 1917 siguió a la derrota de Alemania. La revolución alemana de 1918 siguió a la derrota de Alemania en la guerra de 1914-1918.</p>
<p>Incluso una revolución como la francesa, que parece haber tenido causas más endógenas, siguió en pocos años a la importantísima derrota del Antiguo Régimen francés en la Guerra de los Siete Años, al final de la cual Francia perdió gran parte de su imperio colonial.</p>
<p>Tampoco merece la pena ir tan lejos.</p>
<p><strong><em>La caída del comunismo fue sin duda producto de la evolución interna y del estancamiento de la economía soviética, pero se produjo al final de una derrota en la carrera armamentística y de una derrota militar en Afganistán</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Nos encontramos en una situación así. Es una suposición que hago, pero si se quiere entender la violencia, el derrocamiento, la multiplicidad de acciones más o menos contradictorias del gobierno de Trump, hay que <em>ver la victoria de Trump como el resultado de una derrota.</em></p>
<p>Estoy convencido de que si la guerra la hubiera ganado Estados Unidos y su ejército ucraniano, los demócratas habrían ganado las elecciones y estaríamos en un periodo histórico diferente.</p>
<p>Podemos divertirnos haciendo otros paralelismos. La guerra no ha terminado. El dilema de Trump se parece al del gobierno revolucionario ruso en 1917. Se podría decir que Trump tiene una <em>opción menchevique y una opción bolchevique</em>.</p>
<p><em>La opción menchevique</em>: intentar continuar la guerra de todos modos con los aliados de Europa Occidental. <em>La opción bolchevique</em>: dedicarse a la revolución interna y abandonar la guerra internacional lo antes posible.</p>
<p>Si quisiera ser irónico, diría que la opción fundamental para la administración Trump es: <strong><em>¿preferimos la guerra internacional o la guerra civil?</em></strong> La idea de que una derrota militar allana el camino a la revolución ya nos permite comprender <em>la brecha que existe entre estadounidenses y europeos.</em></p>
<p><strong>Los estadounidenses han comprendido su derrota. El Pentágono informa de que han comprendido esta derrota. El vicepresidente estadounidense, J.D. Vance, en sus conversaciones con dirigentes políticos, occidentales y de otros países, admite esta derrota.</strong></p>
<p>Es normal, Estados Unidos está en el centro de la guerra. Fueron el sistema de inteligencia y el armamento estadounidenses los que alimentaron la guerra en Ucrania.</p>
<p><strong>Los europeos no están en este nivel de conciencia porque, aunque participaron en la guerra a través de sanciones económicas, no fueron agentes autónomos.</strong> <strong>No tomaron las decisiones, y como no tomaron las decisiones y no comprendieron plenamente lo que ocurría de un extremo a otro, son incapaces de entender el alcance de la derrota.</strong></p>
<p>Por eso nos encontramos <em>en la absurda situación de que los gobiernos europeos -pienso en los británicos y los franceses- que no pudieron ganar la guerra con los estadounidenses, se imaginan que pueden ganarla sin los estadounidenses</em>.</p>
<p>Hay un elemento de absurdo. Pero creo que en sus mentes los gobiernos europeos siguen <strong>esperando la </strong>derrota<strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>También creo que sienten que admitir la derrota producirá en Europa, como en Estados Unidos, una deslegitimación de las clases altas</em></strong>, una deslegitimación de lo que yo llamo las oligarquías occidentales<strong>,</strong> y que <strong>la derrota podría, en Europa, como en Estados Unidos, abrir el camino a un cierto tipo de proceso revolucionario</strong>. El tipo de crisis revolucionaria de la que hablo será el resultado de una contradicción que existe en todas partes.</p>
<p><strong>Crisis de la democracia: elitismo y populismo</strong></p>
<p>En todo el mundo occidental asistimos (cientos de autores han escrito sobre el tema) al <em>debilitamiento de la democracia, a su desaparición, a una oposición estructural entre las élites y el pueblo</em>.</p>
<p>Tengo una explicación sencilla para este fenómeno. La era de la democracia era una época en la que toda la población sabía leer y escribir, había fase de alfabetización masiva, pero muy pocas personas estudios superiores.</p>
<p>Las élites, que eran muy pocas, tenían que dirigirse a toda la población para poder existir social y políticamente en un sistema de sufragio universal.</p>
<p><strong>Lo que surgió en todo el mundo desarrollado después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue un desarrollo educación superior que condujo a una restratificación de las sociedades avanzadas</strong>.</p>
<p>Hemos visto aparecer por todas partes <strong><em>masas de personas con estudios superiores</em></strong>; en las generaciones más jóvenes, <strong>en los países avanzados, habrá un</strong> <strong>30%, un 40%, a veces un 50% de personas con estudios superiores.</strong></p>
<p>El problema no es sólo que esta masa de personas altamente educadas haya llegado a creer que son realmente superiores (aunque el nivel de educación superior tiende a disminuir en casi todas partes).</p>
<p>El verdadero problema es que los muy instruidos, ahora muy numerosos, son capaces de vivir entre ellos y creen que pueden separarse del resto de la población. Con la idea añadida de que, en todo el mundo desarrollado, la gente de las clases altas -en EE.UU., Inglaterra, Francia, Alemania, Hungría, sin duda- se siente más cercana entre sí que a su propio pueblo.</p>
<p><strong>Lo que intento evocar es la globalización, no en términos económicos, sino como un sueño cultural.</strong> Personalmente, este sueño siempre me ha parecido absurdo. Como sabe, cursé parte de mi formación universitaria en Cambridge. Siempre he pensado que las élites de los distintos países no se parecen en nada.</p>
<p>Es una farsa, esta idea de que las personas altamente educadas de todos los países se parecen. Pero es un mito colectivo. Es cierto que cuando analizamos el proceso de fragmentación de las sociedades avanzadas y las amenazas a la democracia, los encuestadores siempre encuentran lo mismo.</p>
<p>Miden una separación entre los grupos más instruidos y las personas que sólo han cursado estudios primarios o secundarios. Así, en el electorado de Donald Trump, veremos a los menos educados. Si nos fijamos en el electorado de Rassemblement National en Francia, la mejor forma de definirlo es el de los menos educados.</p>
<p>Lo mismo se aplica a los británicos, o mejor dicho, a los británicos que votaron a favor del Brexit. Veremos el mismo tipo de estructuración para la AfD en Alemania. Veremos lo mismo para la base electoral de los Demócratas Suecos (lo siento, estoy dando el nombre en inglés, no lo tengo en francés o sueco), <em>Hay algo universal en esta tensión interna dentro de las democracias.</em></p>
<p><strong>Choque de realidad</strong></p>
<p>Es un momento muy especial. <strong><em>La derrota manos de Rusia es un choque con la realidad</em></strong>. En la omnipotencia de la ideología globalizada, había una enorme dimensión de fantasía: las cifras del producto interior bruto eran ficciones que no revelaban las capacidades reales de producción de los distintos países. He aquí cómo terminamos en esta increíble situación donde<strong> <em>Rusia, cuyo producto interno bruto equivalía al 3% del de todo Occidente, terminó produciendo más equipamiento militar que todo el mundo occidental junto.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>La derrota es un choque de realidad que produce un colapso, no sólo económico, sino un colapso general de la creencia de superioridad de Occidente. Por eso se derrumban al mismo tiempo las ideologías sexuales más avanzadas, la creencia en el libre comercio y todo tipo de creencias. El concepto adecuado para entender lo que está ocurriendo es el de dislocación.</strong></p>
<p><strong>La divergencia de los populismos</strong></p>
<p>Cuando se produce una revolución, cuando se rompe un sistema unificado, surgen todo tipo de cosas, y es muy difícil decir cuáles serán las más importantes. Sin embargo, de lo que estoy seguro es de que <strong><em>la aparente solidaridad actual de los populistas</em> <em>que desafían el orden globalizado es un fenómeno transitorio.</em></strong></p>
<p>Por supuesto, la gente que desafía a las élites en Francia, que desafía a las élites en Alemania, que desafía a las élites en Suecia, simpatizará con el experimento de Trump.</p>
<p>Pero se trata de un fenómeno temporal, relacionado con la dislocación del sistema globalizado. <strong><em>La ideología globalizada en su versión estadounidense, como en la de Unión Europea, nos dijo que los pueblos ya no existen, que las naciones ya no existen.</em></strong></p>
<p>Lo que está reapareciendo son naciones y pueblos, pero todos estos pueblos son diferentes, todos estos pueblos tienen intereses nacionales diferentes. Lo que está surgiendo es <em>un mundo que no es sólo el mundo multipolar de Vladimir Putin, que comprende sólo unos pocos polos estratégicos importantes, <strong>sino un mundo multipolar de naciones</strong></em>, cada una con su propia historia, sus propias tradiciones familiares, sus propias tradiciones religiosas, o lo que queda de ellas, y todas diferentes entre sí. <strong>Por tanto, sólo estamos al principio de la dislocación.</strong></p>
<p><strong>La primera dislocación, que podríamos llamar transatlántica, es la que se produce entre Estados Unidos y Europa. Pero ante nosotros tenemos la ruptura de la Unión Europea y el resurgimiento en todos los países europeos de tradiciones nacionales muy diferentes, un resurgimiento de naciones.</strong></p>
<p>Sería absurdo tomar todas las naciones europeas, una tras otra, y empezar a decir: ‘Bueno, en tal o cual país, siento que aparecerá tal o cual cosa’. En un momento dado, estuve tentado de oponer una nueva polaridad.</p>
<p>En geopolítica, se percibe una sensibilidad compartida entre los países católicos del sur de Europa. Se puede decir que a los italianos, españoles y portugueses no les interesa la guerra de Ucrania. Yo había intuido en <em>La derrota de Occidente</em> la emergencia de un eje protestante o posprotestante que se extiende desde América hasta Estonia y Letonia, los dos países bálticos protestantes, pasando por Gran Bretaña y Escandinavia, al que, sin embargo, habría que añadir por razones específicas la Polonia y la Lituania católicas.</p>
<p>Pero mi tiempo es limitado. Estamos en una situación de cambio constante. La preparación de esta conferencia, lo admito, ha sido una pesadilla para mí. Con mucha regularidad concedo entrevistas a la prensa japonesa. Doy conferencias en Francia. Cada conferencia es diferente de la anterior porque cada día aporta nuevos elementos.</p>
<p>Trump, el corazón de la revolución, es una sorpresa constante. Me temo que también es una sorpresa permanente para sí mismo. Lo que digo hoy es algo, digamos, mínimo. Para intentar hacerme una idea del futuro, me centraré en los tres países, las tres naciones que me parecen más importantes para el futuro.</p>
<p>Hablaré de Rusia, Alemania y Estados Unidos e intentaré comprender hacia dónde se dirigen estos países.</p>
<p><strong>Rusia como punto final</strong></p>
<p>En cuanto a Rusia, todo sigue igual. De acuerdo, soy francés, no hablo ruso y sólo visité Rusia dos veces en los años noventa, pero es el único país que me parece completamente predecible. Hay momentos en los que, en un arrebato de megalomanía geopolítica, siento que puedo leer la mente de Putin o Lavrov, porque la política rusa me parece fundamentalmente racional, coherente y limitada.</p>
<p>En Rusia, la soberanía nacional es un imperativo. Rusia se ha sentido amenazada por el avance de la OTAN. El problema de Rusia es que ya no puede negociar con Occidente -ni con los europeos ni con los estadounidenses- porque los considera completamente poco fiables cuando se trata de negociar acuerdos o tratados.</p>
<p>Trump es más prorruso. Está motivado por tantas fobias y resentimientos, contra los europeos, contra los negros, etc., que está claro que la rusofobia no es su motivación fundamental.</p>
<p><strong>Pero sus incesantes cambios de actitud significan que es intrínsecamente una caricatura poco fiable de Estados Unidos para los rusos.</strong></p>
<p>Así que la única opción práctica para los rusos es lograr sus objetivos militares sobre el terreno, tomar el territorio que necesitan en Ucrania para estar seguros y luego detenerse.</p>
<p>No es cierto que quieran o puedan adentrarse más en Europa. Entonces dejarán que las cosas se calmen y volverán a la paz sin mucha negociación.</p>
<p>Por supuesto, la política de Vladimir Putin hacia Trump es extremadamente elegante. No intenta provocar. Participa en las negociaciones. Pero esto es lo que creo que son los objetivos rusos. Es mi opinión personal, no está en los textos, pero empieza a aparecer en las discusiones.</p>
<p>Creo que los rusos no pueden detenerse en los oblasts que controlan actualmente en Ucrania. Los ataques navales con drones desde Odesa han demostrado que la flota rusa no está segura en Sebastopol. Creo que entre los objetivos rusos se encuentra Odessa.</p>
<p><strong>No tengo información personal, esto es puramente lógico y especulativo, pero para mí los rusos detendrán la guerra cuando hayan tomado el oblast de Odessa. Esta es mi predicción, tal vez me equivoque, tal vez no. Ya lo veremos. Ya veremos.</strong></p>
<p>Lo que me aterra en la vida no es tener opiniones ideológicas equivocadas. Lo que me aterra es equivocarme como futurólogo. Así que aquí asumo un riesgo. Pero un riesgo pequeño. Es obvio que todas las habladurías Rusia atacando a Europa son ridículas. Rusia, con 145 millones de habitantes y 17 millones de kilómetros cuadrados, no es expansionista. Se alegra de no tener que lidiar más con los polacos.</p>
<p>Personalmente (y esto es una preferencia), espero que Vladimir Putin tenga la sutileza de no tocar siquiera los países bálticos para demostrar a los europeos lo absurda que es su idea de que Rusia es una potencia amenazadora.</p>
<p><strong>¿Buena o mala elección para Alemania?</strong></p>
<p>Pasemos ahora a Alemania, que para mí es la mayor incógnita en el sistema internacional, en el sistema geopolítico y con respecto resultado de la guerra.</p>
<p>Hablando de Alemania, me salgo de la mitología europea, porque cuando hablamos del neobelicismo europeo, hablamos de toda una Europa que quiere unirse y organizarse para continuar la guerra contra los rusos.</p>
<p><strong>Pero los británicos ya no tienen ejército, los franceses tienen un ejército muy pequeño, y ni los franceses ni los británicos tienen una industria potente. Las capacidades bélicas francesas o británicas son cuantitativamente ridículas.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sólo una nación, sólo un país puede hacer algo, cuya movilización industrial podría introducir un nuevo elemento en la guerra. Y ése, por supuesto, es Alemania con su industria</strong>.</p>
<p>Y la industria alemana no es sólo Alemania, es Alemania más la industria integrada de Austria y la Suiza germanófona. Es también la reorganización industria alemana en todas las antiguas democracias populares.</p>
<p>Creo que hay algo muy amenazador. No creo que Alemania sea belicista en absoluto. Los alemanes se han deshecho de su ejército. Por supuesto, sigue existiendo un deseo de poder económico en Alemania, alimentado por una inmigración extremadamente elevada, a veces más allá de lo razonable.</p>
<p>Pero yo diría que Alemania ha encontrado su nueva identidad de posguerra en la eficiencia económica, como una especie de sociedad-máquina cuyo único objetivo sería la eficiencia económica.</p>
<p>Llegar a fin de mes, ser eficiente económicamente, proporcionar un buen nivel de vida a la población, exportar, funcionar bien. Estos han sido los principios rectores de la historia alemana desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Europa y la economía alemana están sufriendo ahora enormemente por estas sanciones, que se suponía iban a destruir a Rusia.</p>
<p><strong>Ahora</strong> <strong>veo surgir en Alemania la idea de que el rearme, una economía de guerra, sería una solución técnica para la industria alemana. Ésa es la amenaza.</strong></p>
<p>Soy perfectamente capaz de imaginar el rearme de Alemania para resolver un problema económico, no para una agresión real. Pero el problema es que, si la industria militar estadounidense ya no es una amenaza para los rusos, <strong><em>una movilización de la industria armamentística alemana sería un grave problema para los rusos</em>. Esta amenaza para la industria militar alemana, si surgiera, podría llevar a los rusos a aplicar su nueva doctrina militar.</strong></p>
<p>Rusia siempre ha sido muy clara, y espero que nuestros dirigentes sean conscientes de ello: <strong><em>los rusos saben que son menos poderosos que Occidente, que la OTAN, debido a su pequeña población. Por eso advirtieron que, si el Estado ruso se viera amenazado, se reservarían el derecho a utilizar ataques nucleares tácticos para eliminar la amenaza. Repito esto, porque el irrealismo europeo en esta cuestión es un riesgo.</em></strong></p>
<p>En Francia, a los periodistas les gusta hablar de estas palabras rusas como amenazas jactanciosas y vacías. Pero <strong><em>una de las características de los rusos es que hacen lo que dicen que harán. Repito:</em></strong> <strong><em>si Alemania se convirtiera en un actor importante en la esfera industrial-militar, Europa correría el riesgo de descarrilar de forma dramática y completa.</em></strong></p>
<p>Este es el mayor elemento de incertidumbre en la situación actual. Yo añadiría una preocupación personal. Alemania tiene que elegir entre la paz y la guerra, entre una buena elección y una mala elección<em>. Como historiador, no recuerdo que Alemania haya hecho nunca la elección correcta.</em></p>
<p>Pero esto es un comentario personal. Paso ahora a lo que para mí sigue siendo el tema más importante, la experiencia. Trump.</p>
<p><strong>Estados Unidos: ¿el pozo sin fondo?</strong></p>
<p>La experiencia de Trump es fascinante, y me gustaría dejar claro que no soy una de esas élites occidentales que desprecian a Trump, que pensaban en 2016 que Trump no podía ser elegido. En aquel momento daba una conferencia y dije que Trump tenía una visión correcta del sufrimiento en  corazón de Estados Unidos, en las devastadas regiones industriales, con crecientes tasas de suicidio y de consumo de opioides, en esta América destruida por el sueño imperial. (Al final del sistema soviético, incluso Rusia tenía más problemas en el centro que en la periferia). Siempre me pareció que había un diagnóstico y elementos razonables en el trumpismo.</p>
<p>Permítame recordarle las principales. <strong>El proteccionismo</strong>, idea de proteger la industria estadounidense o de reconstruirla, es una buena idea. Tuve la oportunidad, hace cuatro años, de escribir una reseña muy favorable de un libro de un intelectual estadounidense llamado <strong>Oren Cass,</strong> <strong><em>The Once and Future Worker</em></strong>, que describí como la versión civilizada y elegante del trumpismo y el proteccionismo. Es un hombre cuyo nombre se ve cada vez más estos días. Es una persona muy estimable e interesante, mucho más estimable e interesante que muchos intelectuales o políticos franceses.</p>
<p>También creo que el <strong><em>control de la inmigración</em></strong> que quiere Trump, <strong>aunque lo exprese con demasiada violencia, es legítimo.</strong></p>
<p>Y para terminar con una nota alegre (sin juego de palabras), diré la idea de Trump de que sólo hay dos sexos en la raza humana, hombres y mujeres, me parece perfectamente razonable, y de hecho compartida por toda la humanidad desde sus orígenes, con la reciente excepción de ciertos segmentos culturales del mundo occidental.</p>
<p>Esto está en el lado positivo, pero ahora intentaré decir rápidamente por qué no creo que el experimento Trump pueda tener éxito.</p>
<p>El experimento Trump combina dimensiones razonables con elementos de nihilismo que ya había percibido en la administración Biden. No serán los mismos elementos de nihilismo, pero serán otras tendencias, impulsos de autodestrucción, sin propósito, que encuentran su fuente en un desorden muy profundo de la sociedad estadounidense.</p>
<p><strong><em>No creo que la política proteccionista de Trump esté bien pensada.</em></strong> No me escandaliza la idea de subir bruscamente los aranceles un 25%. (Hemos subido mucho más desde el inicio de esta conferencia) Se podría llamar terapia de choque. Si queremos salir del mundo globalizado, tenemos que hacerlo con violencia.</p>
<p><strong>Pero no se ha reflexionado, no se ha pensado en los sectores afectados, y a veces me pregunto si esta subida de <em>aranceles </em>es un proyecto positivo o un deseo de destruirlo todo, lo que sería nihilista.</strong></p>
<p>He estado trabajando sobre el proteccionismo. He hecho reeditar en Francia la obra clásica sobre el proteccionismo, El sistema nacional de economía política, de Friedrich List, el gran autor alemán de la primera mitad del siglo XIX.</p>
<p>Una política proteccionista debe dar al Estado un papel en la ayuda al desarrollo de las industrias que queremos lanzar o reactivar. <strong><em>Pero en la política de Trump hay un ataque al Estado federal, un ataque a la inversión federal</em></strong>. Todo esto va en contra de la idea de un proteccionismo eficaz o inteligente.</p>
<p>Además, cuando los republicanos hablan de luchar contra el Estado federal, cuando veo a Elon Musk queriendo purgar el Estado federal, no veo cosas que sean fundamentalmente económicas.</p>
<p>Cuando se piensa en Estados Unidos, en las pasiones estadounidenses, cuando no se entiende lo que ocurre en Estados Unidos, siempre hay que pensar en la cuestión racial, en la obsesión por los negros.</p>
<p>La lucha contra el Estado federal en Estados Unidos no es una política económica, es una lucha contra las llamadas políticas DIE, «diversidad, inclusión, igualdad». Es una lucha contra los negros: despedir a agentes federales significa despedir proporcionalmente a más negros. El Estado federal protegía a los negros y les garantizaba puestos de trabajo. El trumpismo de Musk es también un intento de destruir la clase media negra.</p>
<p>Más allá de esto, uno de los problemas del proteccionismo de Trump y de su intento de volver a centrarse en la nación es la ausencia en EEUU de una nación en el sentido europeo.</p>
<p>Este es un tema del que es muy fácil hablar en Budapest. Si alguien sabe lo que es una nación, son los húngaros. El sentimiento nacional húngaro es el más claro e inequívoco que he visto en Europa, y se puede percibir hoy en día en la política tan independiente del gobierno húngaro hacia la Unión Europea.</p>
<p>Pero incluso los franceses, con sus élites que se consideran globales e incorpóreas, son fundamentalmente una nación étnica. Existe una forma de ser francés que se remonta a cientos o miles de años.</p>
<p>Es lo mismo para los alemanes, es lo mismo para cada una de las naciones escandinavas. Las naciones europeas tienen una profundidad histórica y moral que las convierte en naciones capaces de resurgir.</p>
<p><strong>América es diferente. Estados Unidos era una nación cívica. Había un núcleo dirigente central que le daba coherencia, que era el núcleo de los WASP, los protestantes anglosajones blancos, que, incluso cuando ya no eran mayoría, dirigían el país. Pero una de las características de los últimos 30 ó 40 años ha sido la desaparición de este núcleo y la transformación Estados Unidos en una sociedad muy fragmentada.</strong></p>
<p>Me describo como un patriota pacífico, nada agresivo. Un patriotismo arraigado en la historia es un recurso económico para una sociedad en apuros. Es algo a lo que obviamente tienen acceso los húngaros, los alemanes, los franceses, pero no estoy seguro de que Estados Unidos disponga de este recurso.</p>
<p>Concluyo este examen pesimista de las posibilidades de Trump con algo menos metafísico, menos antropológico: la capacidad productiva.</p>
<p>Si se quiere reconstruir una industria tras barreras arancelarias, hay que ser capaz de construir máquinas-herramienta. Las máquinas herramienta son la industria de la industria.</p>
<p>Hoy hablaríamos menos de máquinas-herramienta y más de robots industriales. Pero para Estados Unidos ya es demasiado tarde. En 2018, el 25% de las máquinas herramienta procedían de China, el 21% del mundo germanoparlante en general, es decir, Alemania, la Suiza germanoparlante y Austria, y el 26% bloque de Asia Oriental, es decir, Japón, Corea y Taiwán.</p>
<p>Estados Unidos, con un 7%, se situó a la altura de Italia. No quiero ser antiamericano, pero Francia está aún más abajo. No puedo decir cuál será el destino de Francia a este respecto.</p>
<p><strong>Creo que es un poco tarde y si tuviera que apostar por el experimento Trump, diría que fracasará.</strong></p>
<p>Así que podemos imaginar a unos Estados Unidos perdidos volviendo a la guerra porque Alemania parece dispuesta a desempeñar su papel en la producción de bienes militares y porque los rusos parecen demasiado intratables.</p>
<p>Creo que el deseo de Trump de salir de la guerra es sincero. Creo que Trump preferiría una guerra civil a una guerra internacional si fuera su elección. Pero Estados Unidos no tiene los recursos para volver a ser una potencia industrial normal.</p>
<p>Estados Unidos era un imperio y toda la producción industrial importante está en la periferia del imperio, en Asia Oriental, Alemania y Europa del Este.</p>
<p><strong>El corazón industrial de Estados Unidos está vacío y no creo que con los pocos ingenieros que produce, con las pocas máquinas-herramienta que fabrica, América pueda recuperarse.</strong></p>
<p>Veo que he sobrepasado mis 25 segundos, pero me gustaría decir una última palabra que es muy importante para mí y que expresa una angustia personal. Algo que no puedo justificar, pero que me preocupa, que me atormenta.</p>
<p>América era la parte más avanzada del mundo. Soy muy consciente de ello. La familia de mi madre estaba refugiada en Estados Unidos durante la guerra. Estados Unidos fue un refugio seguro para mi familia, ya que parte de ella era de origen judío. El padre de mi padre se hizo ciudadano estadounidense: era un judío vienés de Budapest.</p>
<p>Estados Unidos era la cúspide de la civilización y veo que esta cúspide de la civilización se derrumba. Veo que produce fenómenos de una brutalidad y una vulgaridad que a mí mismo, hijo de la burguesía parisina de , me cuesta aceptar. Pienso en el abominable espectáculo de Trump frente a Zelinski… Veo una caída moral.</p>
<p>Pero es la segunda vez en la historia que el mundo occidental asiste a la caída moral de su país más avanzado.</p>
<p>A principios del siglo XX, Alemania era el país más avanzado del mundo occidental. Las universidades alemanas estaban a la vanguardia de la investigación. Y vimos cómo Alemania se hundía en el nazismo.</p>
<p>Y una de las razones por las que no pudimos evitar el nazismo fue que resultaba inimaginable que el país más avanzado de Occidente produjera semejante abominación.</p>
<p>Mi verdadero temor en este momento, más allá de todos los elementos racionales (y admito que no tengo pruebas, hoy he dicho que debemos ser humildes ante la historia, que todo lo que estoy diciendo podría estar equivocado en dos meses, en una semana), <strong>mi verdadero temor en este momento es que Estados Unidos esté a punto de producir cosas inimaginables para nosotros, amenazas terribles, que serán abominables porque ni siquiera podemos imaginarlas.</strong></p>

<p>Moscou e Kiev têm competido entre si para obter o favor do novo governo dos EUA. Quando a diplomacia russa parecia estar superando Kiev, as coisas mudaram drasticamente em 30 de abril com a assinatura do chamado <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yg456mzn8o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acordo de minerais entre os EUA e a Ucrânia </a>em Washington.</p>
<p>Semanas de tensas negociações precederam a conclusão do acordo, que, em um determinado momento, interrompeu temporariamente a ajuda dos EUA à Ucrânia, mas o país demonstrou extraordinária coragem, tenacidade e tato para se manter firme e, por fim, extraiu do governo Trump o que o presidente Vladimir Zelensky chamou de um acordo “verdadeiramente igualitário”. Esse deve ser o melhor momento do nacionalismo ucraniano e ressalta que o país está longe de ser descartado no tabuleiro de xadrez geopolítico.</p>
<p>Sem dúvida, o presidente Volodymyr Zelensky surgiu como um estadista de peso, tendo consolidado sua posição no poderoso campo nacionalista, o que pode acabar com qualquer especulação de uma mudança de regime em Kiev. Até mesmo Moscou parece perceber essa realidade inquietante, que terá consequências profundas para um acordo de paz na Ucrânia, dada a evolução da animosidade da Ucrânia contra a Rússia e, mais importante, a integração da Ucrânia à aliança ocidental.</p>
<p>O simbolismo do convite feito pelo Vaticano a Zelensky para o funeral do Papa Francisco e a transformação da Capela Sistina no local de uma reunião crucial entre ele e Trump é evidente. Claramente, o Grande Cisma de 1054, a ruptura da comunhão entre a Igreja Católica e a Igreja Ortodoxa Oriental, está sofrendo mutação. Isso é uma coisa.</p>
<p>Se a tendência for reforçada, isso facilitará o trabalho da Grã-Bretanha, da França e da Alemanha – os bastiões da Igreja Anglicana, do Catolicismo e do Protestantismo, respectivamente – para levar adiante sua determinação de navegar pela futura identidade da Ucrânia como guarda pretoriana da segurança europeia com, de longe, o exército mais poderoso (e também mais resistente) do continente.</p>
<p>Portanto, é possível argumentar que o acordo de minerais reinicia o sistema de aliança ocidental. Seu impacto será sentido em três modelos principais – a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/30/us-ukraine-minerals-deal-russia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">natureza e o conteúdo da presença dos EUA na Ucrânia</a>; a trajetória da guerra; e as geoestratégias russas.</p>
<p>É discutível se Trump mostrou ou não suas mãos quanto à viabilidade de um acordo de investimento de tal magnitude bem na porta da Rússia sem algum tipo de apoio militar. A preferência do próprio Trump pode ser seguir os passos da China na África, mas seus sucessores no Salão Oval teriam outras ideias.</p>
<p>Mas isso pressupõe que os russos não ultrapassem os limites – nesse caso, Trump (ou seus sucessores) não hesitará em colocar as botas no chão. Não se engane, o acordo sobre os minerais faz parte do Primeiro Círculo do dossiê MAGA de Trump.</p>
<p>O acordo sobre os minerais mudará significativamente o local da guerra na Ucrânia. Existe um mito popular de que a Rússia controla a maior parte da riqueza mineral da Ucrânia, enquanto a realidade é que os recursos minerais da Ucrânia estão apenas perifericamente na região de Donbass, anexada pela Rússia. O gráfico em um artigo bem documentado intitulado <a href="https://www.enseccoe.org/publications/ukraines-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Ukraine’s resources. Critical raw materials</em></a>, do Centro de Excelência em Segurança Energética da OTAN, mostra a vasta extensão dos recursos minerais da Ucrânia, grande parte deles no lado oeste do rio Dneipr. .</p>
<p>A grande questão é sobre as intenções russas para o futuro. Em outras palavras, a Rússia está satisfeita com as quatro regiões da Novorossiya e da Crimeia que anexou até agora? A questão é que há motivos suficientes para especular que, com uma presença ocidental de longo prazo, incluindo a presença americana, pairando sobre a Ucrânia, Moscou pode decidir proteger a costa do Mar Negro e criar uma zona de amortecimento na Ucrânia no lado leste do rio Dneipr. As regiões de Odessa, Mykolayiv, Sumy e Kharkov podem ser arrastadas para o conflito. É claro que as principais autoridades russas expressaram publicamente até mesmo opiniões revanchistas que também podem ter ressonância em seu país extenso, com 11 fusos horários.</p>
<p>Até mesmo Kiev pode cair na mira da Rússia em determinadas circunstâncias terríveis, como o colapso da estratégia do presidente Vladimir Putin de “desnazificação” e “desmilitarização” da Ucrânia. A Rússia prevê que os EUA (e os aliados europeus) continuarão a apoiar a capacidade militar do regime ucraniano (hostil) e não tem dúvidas sobre as afinidades do regime de Kiev com a ideologia nazista. Basta dizer que o acordo de minerais destrói o sonho russo de uma Ucrânia neutra.</p>
<p>Em outras palavras, a Rússia pode ter que aprender a conviver com um regime hostil na Ucrânia, que está sob a proteção do Ocidente. Será que Moscou aceitará esse resultado da guerra, que equivale a um fracasso colossal em atingir qualquer um dos principais objetivos das operações militares especiais? Da mesma forma, as chances de as sanções ocidentais serem suspensas são praticamente nulas em um futuro previsível. Mesmo que Trump queira suspender as sanções, o Congresso dos EUA pode não permitir, nem os aliados europeus dos EUA. Mesmo que Trump tenha dado algum entendimento secreto a Putin de que os EUA bloquearão a adesão da Ucrânia à OTAN, isso é apenas uma linha na areia.</p>
<p>O ponto principal é que, embora o acordo sobre os minerais seja de grande importância para a Europa e a Ucrânia, a trajetória futura da guerra dependerá em grande parte da Rússia e dos EUA. A parte boa é que tanto a Rússia quanto os EUA querem que a guerra termine e nenhum deles quer um confronto. No entanto, permanece uma contradição intratável na medida em que Trump terá muita pressa para congelar o conflito o mais rápido possível para que a anexação do território ucraniano pela Rússia se limite às linhas de frente atuais e, em segundo lugar, os dividendos da paz se tornem disponíveis para serem obtidos por Wall Street durante sua presidência, apesar da derrota na guerra nas mãos da Rússia.</p>
<p>A grande cenoura que Trump está segurando (verbalmente) é sua disposição de reconhecer a Crimeia como parte da Rússia. Mas isso significa que a Rússia desistirá dos objetivos de ter o controle dos territórios de Donbass e Novorossiya de acordo com as fronteiras originais das regiões, algo que Putin havia delineado em seu discurso de 14 de junho do ano passado no Ministério das Relações Exteriores da Rússia, enquanto exigia uma retirada unilateral das forças ucranianas como pré-condição para negociações com Kiev. Enquanto isso, Zelensky, que recentemente começou a <a href="https://kyivindependent.com/justice-inevitably-comes-zelensky-on-deaths-of-high-ranking-russian-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reivindicar abertamente a responsabilidade pelo assassinato de generais russos </a>em Moscou, está fervilhando de noções revanchistas. Tudo isso será uma pílula amarga para a Rússia engolir.</p>
<p>Considerando o crescente espectro de que a guerra duramente travada pode levar apenas a uma paz inconclusiva e inerentemente frágil, o Kremlin pode muito bem decidir acelerar suas operações militares para obter uma vitória militar definitiva na Ucrânia e ditar seus termos de paz que atendam a seus objetivos estratégicos em uma perspectiva de longo prazo, muito além da presidência de Trump.</p>
<p>Há uma forte possibilidade de que a lua de mel de Trump com o líder do Kremlin possa estar acabando. De fato, a própria abordagem de Trump à questão da Ucrânia tem uma história que remonta ao seu primeiro mandato, que, infelizmente, raramente é explorada e permanece um enigma envolto em um mistério dentro de um enigma.</p>
<p>Dito isso, também é preciso levar em conta que, historicamente, os objetivos da política externa da Rússia nunca foram a conquista territorial ou a glória, mas sim a realização de objetivos. Como Timofey Bordachev, diretor de programas do Valdai Club (ligado ao Kremlin), <a href="https://www.rt.com/russia/616668-from-mongols-to-nato/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">escreveu esta semana para a RT</a></p>
<blockquote data-sanitized-class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>“Muitas vezes, isso (atingir objetivos) significa exaurir os adversários em vez de esmagá-los completamente… Essa mentalidade explica a disposição da Rússia de negociar em todos os estágios: a política sempre supera as preocupações militares. As políticas externa e interna são inseparáveis, e todo empreendimento externo é também uma tentativa de fortalecer a coesão interna, assim como os príncipes medievais de Moscou usaram ameaças externas para unir as terras russas…</em></p>
<p><em>“A geopolítica clássica ensina que o foco principal deve permanecer onde está a principal ameaça. A Europa Ocidental pode não ser mais o centro da política global, mas continua sendo a fronteira crucial, a linha divisória entre a Rússia e o poder americano.”  </em></p></blockquote>
