There seems to be no end to the escalation of violence on Ukrainian territory. Vladimir Putin carries on his plan with cold conviction, weaves his own network of "conquest" with severe and decisive determination to want to demonstrate that, despite the passing of decades, the USSR has never "passed away", but has continued to exist in a condition of programmed latency that seems to have reached its cynical "clinical manifestation". Today, on the border between Ukraine and Belarus, however, the announced "conversation" between Putin and Zelensky seems to be expected, who, indeed, does not hide his doubts about the success of the same. Let's be clear: on the fact that Ukraine, for the Vladimir Kremlin, is only a satellite "statelet", a pure and simple "pre-condition of access" to the European continent, I do not think there can be any doubts, also in consideration of the persistent weakness of the Union, subjugated "aborigine" by its non-existence on the internal political and international geo-political level.
What happened to the so-called "Western" political decision makers? Admitted and not granted that, in our day, in the era of globalization, it still has a sense, any sense, to continue wanting to relive a distinction, even if only verbal, as anachronistic as it is misleading, between "East" and "West" that it would risk reflecting on our realities on the not exactly edifying level of the historical "vice versa" and in the severe terms of an ideological "retaliation" of circumstance. Joe Biden's "paresis" (embarrassing) of the Old Continent and America begins to cause concern, especially when their respective political representatives demonstrate, day after day, that they are unable to go beyond repetitive and banal "speeches" of "contingency": that is the "non-existent political" that does not seem to want to miss the opportunity to become a "verb" only to mask the total absence of strategy.
In the meantime, because all the issues relating to foreign policy (including those relating to identity conflicts) have been gradually declassified and placed in the variegated and complex cauldron of marginalization, as if the surrounding world were an empty frame to be filled at will when we would have (and if we ever had) desire and inspiration. Therefore, because by operating in this way, and certainly not because of the pandemic emergency which occurred only when the degenerative circumstances of national and European political management had reached their peak, it has culpably failed to consider the discomfort of those, at the border with Europe, they continued, in a more or less intense way, to live "in perfect solitude" the usual conflicts of (re-) territorial affirmation, extemporaneous in the context of a world that wants to be called globalized, but fully subsistent and reasonably conditioning in the "middle" territories still bound by the concept of the "limit" which seemed (but evidently not so) definitively fallen back in 1989. Finally, because every political decision appears strongly influenced by the new energy emergency, with reference to which, and so much to change, it is not currently possible to identify strong unitary positions with any pejorative consequence on the level of short term that the conflict with Russia will only exacerbate.
