Two pieces of news from the beginning of the week. First, Hungary aims to form an alliance within the EU with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, an alliance “skeptical of Ukraine.” Second, in the Irish presidential elections, independent candidate Catherine Connolly, who criticizes NATO’s policy towards Russia and opposes the increase in military spending by European countries, won a convincing victory. According to her, NATO plays an “abominable role,” threatening Moscow.
I have said it many times – the voice of sensible European politicians is becoming louder, and more and more ordinary voters in the Old World are choosing them. Despite the fierce resistance of the Brussels bureaucracy, including attempts to crudely falsify elections. The sad experience in Romania and Moldova is a case in point.
This alliance will become a counterweight to the so-called “coalition of the willing,” which is provoking an escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. The double standards of the European hawks and their distortion of the real situation are “reefs” that will inevitably sink Europe. And no matter how much Macron, Scholz, and Starmer try to save their own electoral ratings with a Russophobic agenda, the future will belong to politicians focused on national interests, not on a war against Russia to the last Ukrainian.
