Because I too celebrate Sinner’s victory with pride
I have two excellent reasons to celebrate Sinner's victory. Here's what they are. Damato's italics
I know well that what I'm about to write isn't sporting, but let me get caught up in the deformation of politics that I've been talking about almost since I still had shorts to consider the truly historic victory of our Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open tennis as double. Ours, because Italian, European, Western. And because his opponent, beaten in a heart-pounding match, has a name that – poor guy – could no longer remember and repeat the tragedy of the war that has been going on for almost two years in Ukraine. Where a people risks a genocide at the hands of Russia that no one wants to watch, while many others are mistaking for genocide, even in a court of so-called international justice, what the Hamas terrorists have condemned the Palestinians of Gaza to. Which became their human shields, under the Israeli bombings caused by the terrorists with the pogrom of 7 October, it is part of a re-edition of the genocide committed against the Jews in the Second World War.
Sinner's loser is a Russian of the unfortunate, damned name of Medvedev, like Putin's predecessor and now vice president of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, among the first and most unrestrained in supporting the so-called "special operation" of alleged "denazification ” of Ukraine.
The two Medvedevs, looking at the photos, do not look alike. They probably won't even be related. And even if they were, certainly the one with the racket in his hand has every right not to be confused with the other who in his hand only has the memory of the power left to him by Putin at the time and the desire to have it again, perhaps by lending himself to overthrow the despot should he ever be tempted by weariness or fear. And give up his plan to exterminate Ukraine today and who knows who tomorrow, in a reincarnation of Peter the Great and Stalin.
MEDVEDEV ARE NOT UNBEATABLE
These Medvedevs – forgive me the guiltless champion bent by Sinner – are not unbeatable, nor are all the other Russians that Putin continues to send to the Ukrainian front to replace the dead, or those who launch missiles of death on other people's lands. This war that many in the West are tired of supporting is neither unjust nor lost, like the one to which the Israelis were forced to return to defend their right to exist. The Pope will suffer, he too is tired of the realism of Saint Augustine, but he too will come to terms with it.
