The self-hating West feeds the imperialist appetites of China and Russia

Not even the progressive slaughter, not even the massacre of journalists can hold back the enthusiasm of Putin's groupies . Then they say the single thought. But here, more than thought, it is a question of removal, supported by false historians and authentic lies: NATO expansionism is underlined, with plenty of circumstances, which however does not move a destiny on the tragedy of Ukraine, but expansionism. Russian, which is given by Peter the Great and reaches as far as Putin, that does not disturb, it is enough to smuggle it for self-defense, for the liberation of countries that have slipped into NATO, yes, but by free choice.

The ethical concept of democracy is also artfully confused with the technical one: we all agree on the fact that liberal democracy is not heaven on earth, power tends by its nature to feed itself and does so in the most unscrupulous way; but to equalize the "false American democracy" with the Russian or Chinese progressive democracies, to consider the bombs on Kiev irrelevant with respect to the obligation of the hateful Green Pass , is something that cannot be heard: in the United States, as in Europe, there are certainly manipulated but essentially free elections, there is an alternation of presidents, not an autocrat for life; a dialogue survives, a right of criticism, journalists are not made to disappear and treated with polonium, whoever pronounces the word "war" is still not canceled, abuses and errors are detected and made to weigh; an at least formal division of powers is maintained and not the concentration in a Politburo or a Committee that responds to and to which a clique of mafia members responds. Is there the Deep State ? Sure, everywhere, deep power is what determines choices, but in the infamous West the black swan is always possible, the maddened variable that blows up the alleged omnipotence of the Great Reset sooner or later arrives. Today the Great Reset is fashionable to call it Born, to say an entity that determines everything, pollutes everything and against which everything is lawful. To the veiled aid of the Putins, the Xi, adventurers with a reputation as independent reporters rush, since the accredited journalists, whom Grillo calls "newsagents", are constitutionally cowards and deserve to be killed.

But let's get to the point: is there or isn't there an invasion of a sovereign state, carried out by a dictator at the impulse of an even greater dictator? There is, and then it does not remain, as Daniele Capezzone says, to make a choice of field: either with freedom or with the invader. All the rest is speculation, it is “neither-nor” hypocritical, as was once said neither with the state nor with the RB, but a little more with the latter. The Putinians "to the rescue of freedom" do not realize that they are repeating the reasons for the Chinese propaganda slavishly and if they realize it is fine with them. But the Chinese propaganda is immense, since China entered the WTO, which was set to become the first trading power in the world, billions and billions have been used to guide Western information, educate it, pay for it. It is a secret of Pulcinella that involves intellectuals, media, political parties. The result is the hairy game of going back up the branches of history, to violated pacts, to American imperialism (bitterly contested in the 1960s by America and the whole West), to Cuban missiles, Vietnam and to Korea, to Hiroshima, to General Custer. All right: so what? To say that everything can be put into this game, up to Cyrus the Great, and then honesty requires us to also remember Putin's "betrayals", expansionism in Crimea and Chechnya, interventionist brutality in Syria, the Great Mother Russia from replenish at any price. Not to mention that America is criminal when it exports democracy, and it can be there, but also when, with Trump, it announces steps backwards in military influence, leaving derelict peoples to their fate. Another opening of credit to the madness of the tsar.

The veteranostalinists like Camphor, the veteronostalgics like Cardini, the philosophers of the obvious like this De Cesare omit the real problems, for them the theocratic Islam of the ayatollahs or of the Saddam-like tyrants is better than Western dictatorships and the masochistic habit of complete self-tailing the painting. When Biden timidly raises the issue of human rights in China, China replies: think of you, who kill African Americans and have Black Lives Matter to testify. A blatant, unsustainable bad faith, but encouraged by a fanatical West in being ashamed of itself. Suicidal tendency in which now also the right is falling. The more the Islamist, Chinese, post-Soviet regimes rage against the corrupt, effeminate, soft, fascist West, the more the West agrees with them, the more the West gives them support to the verge of madness. The consequence is that there has never been an indifference, even a cynicism so disconcerting for the fate of millions of people massacred.

Nothing escapes the disgust of oneself anymore, everything has to be demolished, to be whitened, from language to culture, from cathedrals to education, from the philosophical tradition that led to the long journey towards civil rights, secularism, the protection of minorities, up to to the religious legacy that confronts philosophy; not to mention music, arts, literature: even Dumbo and Popeye are no longer saved. With arguments worse than idiotic, but that's what China and Russia want to hear. Every time a radiant concrete head places reserves, re-evaluates "Putin's reasons", puts a wedge, a crack in the Italian, European, Western spirit which is already exhausted. Why did Putin, who has been beating Ukraine for 25 years, moved right now? But they say it, they don't hide it: the Tsar and the Xi see, they know that America has an irrelevant president, that the European Union is an abstraction that plays their game, while he invaded the country Brussels was in "green week ”After exhausting parliamentary work on hermit crabs and enamels for infants.

They say that the Red Army is in trouble, but Putin is advancing and the sanctions do not seem to stop him, the sanctions only destroy the poor people to whom the propaganda of the Western newspapers, inspired by Beijing, replies: if Europe has made suicidal choices, entrusting them to a petulant testimonial, if we find ourselves addicted as toxic to Russian gas, if we no longer have the money to buy it, if everything is missing, the solution is not groped for energy independence but return to the Middle Ages of famines, wash little and with water it freezes. As Milena Gabanelli says. It is on this surrender that the Sino-Russian imperialist cravings grow and Federico Rampini is right when he explains that Ukraine is a test, it serves to test the level of porosity of the West as a function of other invasions. Taiwan will become Chinese again, says Xi, at any cost and in Taiwan semiconductors are made, the microchips that power the totality of the world's technology park. An even worse blackmail than the energetic one and that in any case is welded to this.

In the last two years the "imperialist and fascist" West, especially our country, has suffered an impressive amount of concentric attacks: financial, commercial, economic (Italy is in fact sold out), human with the trafficking of migrants , cultural, media, energetic, viral, pharmaceutical, with the triumph of the psychosis of masks and vaccines, lockdowns and passes that perfectly replicate the Chinese trend. A repressive and rewarding post-democracy that one has no desire to overcome, in the complicity of almost all the political forces, of Colle, of the government. We are the only country that behaves as at the beginning of the pandemic while the pandemic is no longer there, but the obscure minister Speranza manages to tick the perenniality of the Green Pass and his adviser Ricciardi blows the fire of life-long immunizations. Now they have burned D'Alema, after the last story between Colombia and Puglia. And they burned it in conjunction with the Russian invasion. Is it a revenge of the Piddino Politburo, worried about his return to the parent company? And perhaps Draghi does not mind: removed from D'Alema, Beijing's intermediary and great protector of Speranza, the latter's immovability falls. Break the strong link and the weak ones will yield on their own.

It was time, but now we will see if this country, dependent on everyone in everything, will be able to free itself at least from the shame of being the only concentrationary state under the pretext of health security that has proved more lethal than the virus. Especially since now the citizens are sick of being called every two months to have their shoulder pierced, they have other and more urgent things to think about, how to fill the reservoir, how to fill the trolley, knowing that they will not succeed.
