The Italian debate is shaken by the resignation of Minister Sangiuliano, a well-known admirer of Edgardo Sogno and therefore presumably also of Pinochet, and by the actions of Mrs. Boccia who perhaps some already see as the next leader of the center-left. We allow ourselves a small digression, bringing the war back to the center of the debate. This week there have been some statements by the Russian President that have gone unnoticed. Putin has stated that the attacks on Russian soil that the United States and the United Kingdom want to authorize risk causing a dangerous escalation of the conflict. The Russian President has recalled that Ukraine is not able to launch and guide missiles onto targets, so some Western countries would not limit themselves to supplying weapons but would have to send experts to use them. This leads to a clearly expressed consideration: ‘it is a question of deciding whether NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not’. Regardless of the West’s statements, what matters is the interpretation that Russia will give to this choice, which can lead to dangerous consequences.
After two years of war faced with the risk of an escalation that does not exclude the use of nuclear weapons, a ruling class worthy of the name should make a minimum assessment of its actions, the various Draghi and Letta who predicted a collapse of Russia, which in their goodness they would not have humiliated, are today still considered points of reference in Europe. Unfortunately, reality tells us that these are the people who continue to play for us on the bridge of the Titanic. After hundreds of thousands of deaths, not only do we not have peace but we find ourselves in a very difficult economic period. In Germany, Volkswagen could close two factories, it is the sign of a crisis that is hitting the country hard, the vote in two eastern Länder represented a harsher criticism of the government’s policies, Sara Wagenknecht, immediately accused of brown-redism, has focused her campaign on three points: immigration, the no to the green deal and peace with Russia. These are three points in stark contrast with the government’s policies: Again in Germany, the Scholz government, faced with an attack on a strategic infrastructure for its economy, the North Stream, only stammered and did not have the courage to say what Oskar Lafontaine once said and which everyone knows, the attack bears the signature of the United States.
The USA has hit the German economy and with it is putting the Franco-German axis that has supported the European Union until yesterday into crisis. It is no coincidence that the two great sick people of Europe are these two States, the German locomotive has stopped and France is no longer France… However, not all of Europe is crying, Poland is strengthening its position, the European balance is moving east. As written by Francesco Galofaro and Maria Morigi, Poland has dusted off Piłsudski’s ideas of the Intermarium through the Forum Trimarium. The Intermarium in its original conception was not only aimed against Russia but also against Germany, on this the axis between the United States and Poland was welded, which represents the heart of Northern NATO, the most extremist part of the alliance that led us to war.
This war is fought not only against Russia but also against Europe or rather against a part of Europe. In this context, hearing Draghi with his reform proposals brings to mind Hitler who, in Berlin besieged by the Red Army, dreamed of a great Germany in front of the architectural projects of Albert Speer. Draghi asks for 7-800 billion in investments but at the same time foresees a break with Russia, which will continue in the future and on this clashes he wants to build the new Europe. Now the question is whether there is a future for the EU, not what future it will have. The signals coming from Germany are those of a people who are no longer willing to bear the costs of war and even in Italy the malaise is growing.
