The New World Order's cruel debut in Alaska: Europe and NATO hold the candle to Trump and Putin.

Trump 's meeting with Putin is obviously an event. The two figures have amassed enough power on the planet for their meeting to be an event, especially at a time like this. It is also an added humiliation for the European vassals and NATO guests, relegated to holding the candle far away , to make it clear that the dominant powers can do without them in deciding the future of Europe.

The contradiction of European policy toward Russia for thirty years is unfolding before the eyes of European heads of government. Russia is a component of Europe, more so than Turkey , with whom negotiations for its EU membership should continue. European Union leaders have accepted the scenario concluded in 2008 in Budapest, which favored NATO 's annexation of Ukraine and Georgia, a veritable declaration of war on Russia. I analyzed this some time ago and raised the alarm. I wasn't the only one. So it's impossible to say we didn't know.

For their part, the United States played too complicated a game. China or Russia, they had to choose which was the true "systemic adversary ." Delays, hesitations, and back-and-forths have confused their approach. Too late now. Putin won the war because Ukraine cannot win it without a US commitment of a magnitude that is no longer on the agenda. Because of China. The United States cannot therefore walk away and pretend to be the winner. They will have to accept the drawing of a new map of Europe. But in the meantime, political Europe will have lost its skin there. It has demonstrated that it does not exist and that it has neither the will nor the means. More than ever, it will be German Europe. That is, nothingness.

Ukraine thought it could rely primarily on the United States and even the Europeans to guarantee its independence against the invasion it is facing. It knows what to do. It can no longer win. Not only for the military reasons cited, but above all because its political system is hanging by a thread. Everything contributes to its collapse: banning unions and opposition parties, keeping Zelensky in office while his presidential term is over, trying to bail out corrupt officials who are plundering the war effort, the massive desertions—all this has severed the bond that unites the Zelensky system to its people at war. Those who blathered about the NATO alliance as a guarantee of defense will eat their hats. Even the little Atlanticist gôche. Moreover, given the nature of the ties that unite the United States and Netanyahu , it is unlikely that a divorce between the Atlanticists will take place. For us more than ever, counting on no one but ourselves to defend ourselves is a naivety that will always be paid dearly. The United States, Russia, Germany, and others will each benefit from this new distribution of power. Except for France, due to a lack of realistic policy and ambition, and a lack of understanding of the times.

Ukraine's borders will therefore be discussed outside the Ukrainians' presence. Zelensky's departure is a condition of the agreement . Simply because his mandate is over, and I don't believe Russia is capable of signing anything with someone soon to be replaced by someone else who could jeopardize everything. If Trump and Putin reach an agreement, how far will Zelensky go? Will we witness a new Yalta ? Will the world-sharing agreement resemble the 1945 agreement between the United States and the USSR? Perhaps some would like it. But without China, no agreement has any lasting value. And Putin will not abandon his Chinese alliance in exchange for promises from those interested in peddling the end of the American empire and its band of confused puppets in Europe. He will be right. Such a step brings with it further storms.

For the record: Ukraine's appetites in Poland and Hungary will be rekindled. From then on, one way or another, the border issue will return stronger than ever. We proposed a border conference under the auspices of the OSCE in 2016. They stupidly accused me of wanting to change them. I argued they would have done it without us. And which was better: taking the initiative by organizing the discussion, or instead enduring the wars that this type of situation unleashes? Since then, we have seen how Scotland, Catalonia, and now Belgian Flanders have posed a problem. Again, I am merely naming what everyone knows, since those involved are making it known. But once again, let us remember that the borders of the former Soviet bloc have never been stabilized, as I just pointed out with regard to Poland and Hungary.

In short, Trump 's meeting with Putin could be a huge overstep. Only the United States is taking a risk here: that of returning without any validated decision. As for the Europeans, they have no way to capitalize... This is the true outcome of all the chatterboxes who have intoxicated us since 2005 with their pompousness, their unbearable Atlanticist arrogance, and their lukewarm refrains about the wonderful future of their plans. Their time is up, as is their project. A new government in France, a government of us who are not submissive, will have free rein to do whatever it takes, in a different way, so that France can deploy its offer of non-aligned, alter-globalist politics. A completely different Europe may be on the horizon.
