“A mediocre comedian” and “a dictator never elected”. This is how Trump, considering himself an excellent comedian and a democratically elected dictator, defined Zelensky for having stubbornly defended the Ukrainian cause and led the armed resistance of the people and the army of Kiev, for over 2 years, against the expansionist designs and the desire for political-military occupation of one of the bloodiest dictators in contemporary history. The Ukrainian prime minister simply replied politely that the American president lives “in a bubble of Russian disinformation” and so Trump’s deputy felt compelled to admonish him by ordering him “to stop it”, provoking the reaction of Macron and Schulz who immediately sympathized with Zelensky.

Now, in these two years of the Russian-Ukrainian war we have heard all sorts of things in Italy: from left to right and vice versa we have witnessed an inter-party, journalistic-cultural and ecclesiastical festival of crudely pacifist declarations based on cowardice and ignorance. And it is to be believed that great minds like those of Cacciari or Montanari, Marco Travaglio, Michele Santoro or Vittorio Feltri, just to name a few names at random from the Italian intelligentsia, can now consider themselves satisfied for having finally found a world leader not only of proven democratic faith but also capable of correctly interpreting and promoting the cause of peace and justice in the world.

In reality, Trump is doing nothing more than putting American military power at the service of his personal economic and financial interests and, indirectly, of that very large part of the American people who, caught between the blackmail of a galloping recession weighed down by a growing migratory phenomenon and the political blindness of a democratic political class especially in matters of civil rights, have deemed it necessary to place their remaining hopes in a filthy rich popular leader who, with the strategic plan of weakening Europe in mind, thinks he can effectively pursue his hegemonic goals by giving a new lease of life to Putin’s severely tested Russia in order to let the latter, in exchange for his “friendship”, remain for a long period of time to act as an annoying thorn in the side of Central-Western Europe. We thus discover that the 21st century also has, after that of Hitler during the 20th century, a new criminal mind: that of Donald Trump, who this time, however, unlike the Führer, in changed historical-political conditions, allies himself with the Jews led by another bloodthirsty dictator regularly elected as Netanyahu.

At the moment, we do not know what the usually far-sighted Giorgia Meloni is thinking of doing, to whom the most balanced and honest Italian citizens, for the undoubted abilities demonstrated so far especially in foreign policy, can only hope to play her cards well, detaching herself skillfully from Trump and without denying in fact the truthful and unequivocal words of condemnation recently pronounced by President Mattarella against Putin’s unreliable, warmongering and criminal Russia. In this particularly painful and dramatic moment for all humanity, the most advanced and sensitive ethical-civil world cannot but stand in defense of the dignity of the Ukrainian people and its current and courageous leader and invite Americans like Trump and Vance, if they really do not feel like working for the peace of the peoples, to pursue their unconfessed goals of political and financial power in the lands across the Atlantic: many of us seemed to have heard Trump say, before he was elected dictator of the United States of America, that he would dedicate himself to building the greatness of the latter and to nothing else.

Here, think about things at home, if you do not believe that the USA can support Western democracies any longer, without interfering in the affairs of others and in European ones in particular. If America must be left to the Americans, according to the ancient Monroe Doctrine, it would seem right to leave Europe to the Europeans.
