We are in war. We should be assuming it even if our authorities are reluctant to declare it openly. The measures they take, however, show it. And even if no troops are sent and only some weapons and ammunition for the self-defense of the Ukrainians, the downward corrections that are being made to the economic forecasts and the measures that are being taken to mitigate the butterfly effects of what happens four thousand kilometers they indicate that uncertainty has found another ally. The pandemic virus has passed the baton to Putin’s tanks. At the end of the faucet that it controls, the European risks due to its energy dependence. And to round it off, a month and a half after the invasion and after the Western propaganda of the previous week telling us about the withdrawal of the Russian army and the Kremlin’s difficulties in gaining victory, the Secretary General of NATO makes it loud and clear that the confrontation it can last for years. Stability loses integers. To the war on the battlefield we must add the war on the economic front. And this is global and removes our pockets.
from Kyiv, Volodymyr Oleksandrovich Zelensky (KrivóiRog, Ukraine, January 25, 1978) from inside it cries out for resistance and from outside for help. And he does it through speeches to friendly parliaments that he adapts to the specific public of each country that invites him. He already had a few when this Tuesday he addressed the Congress of Deputies. And if the Israelites were reminded of the Holocaust, the Germans of the Berlin Wall and the Americans of 9/11, the Spaniards were quoted Guernica. He took advantage of the anniversary and more than remembering the anniversary, he added salt to a wound that continues to sting. The fact that 85 years have passed has not prevented the traditional positions found between the irredentist right and the frontist left from opening the trunk of their respective memories. Some to criticize, others to reproach, all for not applauding. and so too the apparent consensus on Zelensky cracked, the conventionally good leader in contrast to the terribly bad Putin.

This does not dirty the seasoned politician or the iconic first soldier but it stains the actor and producer who reproaches others for doing business with his enemy. Yes indeed, military dress to better internalize the role of his life.
