To, kar Pulitzerjev nagrajenec Seymour Hersh piše za ameriške vodilne demokrate, velja v enaki meri za evropsko politično elito: ujeli so se v narativo vojne in miselnost hladne vojne v svojem iracionalnem strahu pred ruskim predsednikom Vladimirjem Putinom, iz katere ne najdejo poti. Ker ne iščejo racionalnih rešitev, ampak so ujeti v svoje frustracije in strahove. Takšnim ljudem, ki niso sposobni poiskati racionalnih rešitev, lahko pomaga samo psihoterapevtska pomoč. Hudič je, kadar so takšni ljudje, ki jim lahko pomaga samo psihoterapevtska pomoč, na oblasti. In kadar vodijo ne polmilijonske nacije, ampak Evropsko unijo s 450 milijonov ljudmi.
Hladna vojna se ni končala zaradi zmage na bojišču, ampak z diplomacijo. In tudi ta vojna v Ukrajini se bo končala z diplomatskimi metodami. Prej, ko se napsihirana evropska politična elita tega zave, prej bo konec prelivanja krvi v Ukrajini, prej se bo Ukrajina lahko postavila na noge in prej se bo končala evropska stagnacija in prej se bo Evropa lahko začela ukvarjati z realnimi problemi, ne pa z orožarsko histerijo.
Toda treba se je pripraviti na realistično možnost, da Trump in Putin sicer lahko končata vojno v Ukrajini, medtem ko bo evropska politična elita še naprej ostala v mentaliteti hladne vojne in orožarske histerije in še naprej v svoji psihozi zanemarjala realne probleme Evrope.

In Washington, the Democratic Party leadership, having spent years ignoring the impairment of President Joe Biden, is now ignoring the increasing evidence that Russia has won the war in Ukraine. Leading Democrats in Congress have returned to the mentality of the Cold War in their contempt for and fear of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
I can report that some of those involved in the on-and-off secret talks between Ukraine and Russia are convinced that the long stalemated war will soon be ended by a closely calculated division of territory that has been lost by each side in a war that Putin chose to initiate in February of 2022.
There is still a widespread belief in the Democratic Party that President Donald Trump’s chronic complaints about the leaders of the nations that make up NATO are not paying their way are, as one international scholar told me, “a ruse.” Trump is really interested, the scholar said, “in weakening democratic, liberal Europe and its collective institutions in order to make it easier for his new ally, Putin, to throw his weight around.” The scholar quoted a recent essay by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, the world economy editor of the Telegraph, who compared Trump’s actions to the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between the Soviet Union and Germany that barred the countries from attacking each other. and left Germany to focus on Western Europe, drawing the UK into the war.
