“It is quite clear that Russia cannot accept being hit on its territory with Western weapons without planning increasingly heavy retaliation”
“A prospect that not only leads to catastrophe but that further divides Europe, already at the end of its tether”. The judgement of the philosopher and former mayor of Venice is merciless Maximum Hunter – interviewed by Affaritaliani.it – on the words of the High Representative for Foreign Policy of the European Union Josep Borrellwho called on the 27 EU countries to withdraw the restrictions on Ukraine’s attacks against Russian territory. “Fortunately, this line is also opposed in the same Europefor example by the Italian government but not only. It is quite evident that a part of the US establishment is moving against European interests”.
In the US, those most convinced to supply weapons to Kiev and Zelensky are the Democrats, the left, and not the Republicans… “Absolutely yes, true. A disastrous decision by the US leadership that knows nothing else but to arm Ukraine as if it could win the war against Russia. When Putin decided to invade Ukraine, an equally disastrous decision, there were two possibilities: pick up the phone and call the head of the Kremlin to stop him and return to the Minsk negotiations or arm Ukraine. Unfortunately, the second option was chosen and it is quite clear that the Russia cannot accept that it is hit on its own territory with Western weapons without planning increasingly heavy retaliations. And this leads to very high risks of military escalation”.
What would change with Trump in the White House? “A negotiating table would open on Ukraine, but on the other hot area, the Middle East, Trump would give Netanyahu a free hand, something that Biden and Harris have not done and would never do”, concludes Cacciari.
