THE ORIGIN OF THE CRISIS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

The current Ukrainian crisis stems from the relevance of the context. To control all of Europe, the United States has been pursuing containment of Russia for decades. Certain that, if it were free to act, the Bear would undermine its dominant position by agreeing with the main Western nations. First of all with Germany. So with Italy, a historically sympathetic country towards Moscow.

THE SIGHTS OF RUSSIA

Conversely, overlooking an indefensible plain, animated by a population with an oversized conception of itself, for centuries Russia has tried to subdue neighboring nations to respond in a foreign land to a possible attack, to feed on the terror inflicted on others. If during the Cold War the Kremlin operated on the Elbe River, in the belly of Germany, today it is in an (almost) desperate condition, conflicted between Belarus and Donbass .

THE IMPERIAL WILLS

For inextricable substance and profound insecurity, empires do not care about the aspirations of others. The United States heralds democracy and human rights, but retains the right to abandon customers to their fate. Russia punctually tramples other peoples, but is sure to be the intended victim. With the nations of Eastern Europe caught between two fires, intent on staying with the Americans above all for geographical distance, less for democratic adherence.

THE TEST OF STRENGTH OF RUSSIA IN UKRAINE

In these hours, Moscow tries to force the hand of its interlocutors, taking shreds of Ukrainian territory, while negotiating a possible modus vivendi with the United States. Washington signals that it will not die for Kiev, while rejecting the logic that prescribes dividing the enemy front by playing the weakest against the strong, by refusing to remove Russia from China. With the serious risk that the situation will definitely worsen. In the name of the most coveted continent.
