This time, Trump has unleashed his delirium directly on Europe. There is no time to lose, he wants to make the world his own. And he seems to have believed it. Every day he announces another stage of his project to remodel (or destroy) the planet in the image and interest of the techno-caste that has it at the service of its interests and that is now the beneficiary of the administrative reform measures, with direct effects on the pocketbook of Musk – this childish character who shamelessly exhibits a child of his in the halls of power. It is the time of uncontrolled egos: Musk needs not to go unnoticed in each of Trump's displays. And yet, pretending to do everything and at the same time is a delusional behavior that human experience teaches can only end in two ways: with frustration or with the overflow of a power incapable of even controlling itself (and there are only two paths, unleashed authoritarianism or a stampede).
Every day a new solemn announcement, without giving time to move from words to actions: as God, Trump, "said it" and "so it was." We know the ways and means: showing contempt for the other and displaying a tone of imperial power that appeals to surrender. But there is a lot of talk about things. And miracles do not exist. The manias are evident: Europe is at the forefront of Trumpist obsessions. He wants it surrendered and, in reality, it is already quite so, as we can see in the attitudes of the right and certain economic powers. But it is not enough for him. What he wants is to humiliate it, because he does not want it as a partner but as a subject of his whims. And what better way to corner Europe than to be accompanied by Putin, so that he sets the conditions to end the war in Ukraine, which he will make operational. Obviously, without consulting Brussels.
The cards are clear: there has been an invader and, therefore, a part of the country occupied. The war is at a standstill. And Trump has decided that it is the attacker who must determine his exit. Ukraine, with water up to its neck due to human, economic, political and moral exhaustion, has little room for manoeuvre. Among other things because Putin will demand that it not be granted any recognition, not even the right to NATO protection. European leaders, for the most part, put on a resigned face. And the words of Minister Albares – "An unjust war cannot end an unjust peace" – sadly make one laugh. The political and moral shrinking of Europe is one of the alarming symptoms of a moment in which we are witnessing the end of Russia's transition, which, led by Putin, in twenty years has gone from the remains of Soviet totalitarianism to forming part of the extreme right of international capitalism.
