Story after story, the one on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict seems to have become a spurious truth with uncertain outlines. That Volodymyr Zelensky , now dropped into his role as a leading actor, appears to have exchanged Ukraine and what remains of that today, or does not remain, for a film set, might seem, to the most critical eyes, a very sad truth that is difficult to admit. . That the onset of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict (to which our "insipid" Rainbow Government felt it had to adhere in defense of democratic principles that should be the first to undertake to recover) has favored the pathological increase in prices, already characterized by a very strong speculative pressure, it does not seem that it can be revoked in doubt. That from the first day of the conflict an " imposed uni-directional thought " has come to be, articulated according to the opposing logic of good / bad regardless, with the claim, even ridiculous in the drama of its effects, to take hold of the side of just claims, it is likewise a circumstance demonstrated by the evolution of events in the context of which the expression, even if motivated, of a different opinion, is represented as "criminal adherence" to the reasons of the person who, for no good reason, someone (perhaps too aware, on the contrary, of his own inconsistency, otherwise he would not explain himself) likes to define Tsar.

In short, the unconditional support given by "Atlantist" Westernism to Ukraine (formally a third country, like the Russian Federation, with respect to the Old Continent) on the somewhat distorting and deformed assumption that the defense of those borders represents the defense of our own borders, appears rather singular, since, and moreover, offered in the absence of any contextual intervention useful to put a concrete barrier to the speculation reconnected to it, whose devastating effects are already reverberating at the internal national level of the countries involved in various ways in military operations, irremediably affecting their respective populations, and more generally they are reverberating globally.

Just as the pre-judicial criticism of those who ask for the immediate suspension of war activities appears rather singular, almost as if to accuse pro-Putinism (which, unlike what is convenient for some to believe, is not a bad word anyway), whatever citizen, columnist, commentator, or simply a skeptic, who has the audacity to express some perplexity about the opportunity of an all-out line-up that, if we want to concede everything, qualifies us in the frightening terms of a "co-belligerent" country . Perhaps you are really afraid to admit it: but we are facing a "war of attrition" on the front line that appears far from finding its epilogue and which will be rather complex to justify when it reaches the fateful point of no return, since the he idea of being able to weaken Russia on the ground by letting the passage of time conclude a "mission impossible" that the mighty "Allies" cannot or do not want to conclude, appears in all its naive illusion. Without considering, moreover, that the only indirect but relentless process of attrition is above all that suffered by the citizens of the adhering countries, left without effective instruments of economic compensation useful for making the deployment in favor of Atlanticism and its ideals. In a nutshell: if support for Ukraine must result in the incontrovertible economic mortification of all Italians, Germans, French and Europeans, as well as Africans, then it is clear that that same support, even if ideologically motivated (although admitted and granted that it is), it cannot go on indefinitely and cannot continue to be imposed.

It is pure and simple survival instinct on the reflection of which, willy-nilly, what remains of the international order currently formally in force in the thinking of its nostalgic supporters can well "jump", but substantially compromised by the advance of oriental superpowers in all respects qualified both economically and socially.

The networks and structures by which America defended its global influence no longer seem to exist, and if they still exist, they have become ineffective to the point of forcing Washington to wage a "remote and proxy war" in the vigilant expectation of any fortuitous event capable of forcing the historical enemy to surrender.

It is also clear to the layman that the " war of sanctions " has turned out to be a failure, a mechanism that has conditioned and fragmented the European front, divided by composition, separatist and nationalist by circumstance by salvific inspiration: the very recent success of Marine Le Pen it represents the emblematic political epilogue capable of subverting not only the French internal political order but also, consequently, the international one reconnected to it. Where it was not understood, the success of Marine Le Pen is the immediate response of the French to Emmanuel Macron's trip to Ukraine in the company of Mario Draghi and Olaf Scholz. And this is only the beginning of a possible geopolitical reformism in the context of which the "World of First" proves to be completely unable to interact as a protagonist since Russia and China, tied hand in glove by a tested and silent strategic partnership, held together from the common objective of erosion of US power and of what remains of it, they have been able to promote over time, almost in general indifference, the constant advancement of autocratic systems that are completely functional to guarantee, in the era of globalization, centralization of power.

First of all, because this war, although it is hard to admit it, will bring irreversible changes to the general geopolitical conformation of Europe, to its own existentialist architecture, and, consequently, to the international system traditionally understood in its relations of power. Therefore, why reconstructing a hypothesis of dialogue with the Russian power right now appears extremely difficult since the conquest, albeit slow, of parts of Ukrainian territory by Vladimir Putin , appears to be the consecration of the principle of "sacredness" of a special military operation which, in spite of everything and everyone, is bringing its results. Finally, because the question of all the questions is one and only one: how will Vladimir Putin's Russia present itself in the eyes of the world at the outcome of this conflict that already represents a checkmate to Atlanticist Westernism and its rules?

While in Europe small but noisy secessionist movements have for some time been asserting themselves with localist and independentist inspirations that the relative economic well-being seemed to have sedated, or at least contained, in the rest of the world it seems to have established itself, in diversity, the affirmation of completely heterogeneous autocracies. willing to merge in the name of a long-awaited and long-awaited dominance. And while now, in Europe, those same localisms, precisely because animated by the widespread economic malaise, could in fact arise, causing the Union to explode from within, decompensating its political and economic order, in the rest of the Eastern world, those autocracies, which have become guarantees of strength, seem to represent the "experimental grammar" of the next centers of power.

To consider everything, at this point, it would be necessary to rethink the modus operandi used up to now to manage the conflict and which is obviously not having the desired effects. It does not seem to be able to go further.
