In the 1960s, when the followers of the white, anti -liberal and anti -Semitic George Lincoln Rockwell did the Nazi greeting at the Arlington, Virginia party headquarters, a stupor ran through American society.
How could there be Nazis in a country that had sacrificed almost half a million soldiers fighting that totalitarian monster? Even more incredible is that, at this point in the story, several speakers have done the Nazi greeting on the stage of an ultra -conservative forum in which the president of the United States spoke, knowing the entire world that Adolf Hitler embodied the absolute evil by industrializing the murder in concentration camps.
French ultra -right Jordan Jordan Bardella gave up talking at the Conservative Action Political Conference (CPAC) and repudiated former presidential advisor Steve Bannon, for having greeted as the fascists. But Donald Trump said nothing. Nor Vice President JD Vance or the Almighty Elon Musk.
It would have been reassuring for Argentina that its president repudiated that gesture that so many participants applauded. But Milei did not say a mu, despite his disagreed crying in the regret wall. Perhaps, in the tomb that visits so often the Lubavitch rebuild. Although for the world, the most inconceivable and disturbing is that the president of the United States leads an event in which Nazi gestures can be made without being expelled for betrayal of American history and Western democracy that Hitler crushed with his Panzer tanks.
Anyway, it was not the most serious of Trump in these gloomy weeks for liberal democracy. Jump to Putin’s trench to bomb the alliance with Europe and attack the legitimacy of Ukrainian President, placed Washington and Western democracy in a dark alley in history.
It is the chronicle of an announced dystopia. He was described by the dossier of a former British intelligence agent who investigated his businesses in Russia and his trips to Moscow. Hillary Clinton pointed out in the 2016 electoral debate. It appeared between the lines in the main American newspapers. He was even suggested by Republican leaders, from Mitt Romney and former Vice President Cheney, to the Bush clan, when John McCain prohibited from his death bed to let Trump enter his funeral. John Bolton, an old conservative hawk who was his security advisor, denounced him. And Kamala Harris warned it when, as Hillary eight years earlier, then the vice president of Biden described it on the face of Trump himself: “Is a Putin Puppet” (she is a Putin puppet).
The ultra -conservative leader himself seemed to definitely give them the reason by accusing Zelenski of being a “dictator” and having initiated the war. Trump legitimizes who, in addition to killing many critics and complainants, killing his contestants with the possibility of beating him at the polls or agglutinating majorities, such as Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalni, while delegitimizing those who came to power in authentic elections and does not persecute or murder the critics of his government.
The argument to call Zelenski dictator is the suspension of the presidential election that had to be held in 2024. What he did not say is that the Ukrainian Constitution is the suspension of the elections for the Verjovna Rada (Parliament) and the presidency of the country when the martial law that introduced the Government of Leonid Kuchma in 2000 2018. Zelenski became president in 2019. And he would have agreed to make the legislative election of 2023 because he would have expanded the official bench, but were suspended by the martial law that is inexorably applied during a war.
From Putin’s trench, Trump fired thick ammunition against Zelenski while demanding Ukraine to give a sea of mineral wealth to the United States. The image of a White House chief in the trench of a Russian autocrat was a sign of betrayal of northwestern democracy. Undressing such abjuration, Trump used a fallazing argument of Kremlin to deny the reality that is in sight of the world: he accused Zelenski of having initiated this war that the whole humanity saw the invasion of Russia to Ukraine.
According to Putin, Russia had to invade because kyiv is in Nazis who want to reissue what was the invasion ordered by Hitler in 1941. How does justify such an argument? Saying that Zelenski wants entry to NATO to install nuclear missiles and attack Russia, when the visible thing is that Ukraine began to think of NATO when, through a fraud planned in Moscow, it was imposed in the Ukrainian government to the Viktor Yanukovic Pro-Russian, demolished by line followed by the so-called Orange Revolution.
The interference was always in favor of the regions of the regions. The European leader Viktor Yushchenko, Kremlin agents poisoned him with dioxin, deforming his face forever.
The acts of aggressive interference continued until, in 2014, Russia attached the Crimean Peninsula. From then on, the Ukrainian claim to enter NATO was clearly a consequence of Russian aggressions. It was precisely the invasion ordered by Putin that brought NATO closer to Ukraine. And even if it had been incorporated, that does not imply receiving nuclear missiles that would be eight minutes from Moscow. In Türkiye there were atomic projectiles pointing towards the Soviet coast of the Black Sea. Khrushev pressed with Kennedy until NATO retired them.
In the Baltic countries there are no nuclear missiles pointing to Russia, despite there is a Russian military plan to attack them from Kalinningrad and Belarus. There is also a Russian plan for simultaneous attack on Norway from Murmansk, while a landing is produced in Finnish Lapia.
It was a geopolitical error not having approached the USSR of Mikhail Gorbachev and the Russia of Boris Yeltsin. But what should have been done and did not do with those leaders, cannot now be done with a autocrat who murders opponents and critics, while throwing expansionist wars.
