Strategy Synergy Security

Since I am a bit farther from our beloved Homeland, I decided to take a quick look at Facebook first.
It had a depressing effect on me.

We are overwhelmed by hysteria and panic, shock and horror. Uncertainty and indeterminacy, vagueness and insecurity. Stress and fear are palpable. This way, we set each other up for pessimism and despair.

Yes, it is understandable. The world, the familiar world, is collapsing, going insane. Every day brings something new and destructive. A psychopath in the Kremlin and a sociopath in the White House are playing heartlessly and brutally with the fate of us all—together and separately.

Some of my Jewish Facebook friends have unfairly attacked me in recent weeks.
Unfairly – considering that I have close Jewish friends in real life, not just on Facebook.
Unfairly – considering that I have read at least 30 fundamental studies on the Holocaust, with a bleeding heart.
Unfairly – considering that I have always admired this unique and remarkable people.
Unfairly – considering that in the mid-1970s, when we, as students, were sending off our Soviet Jewish friends from Kharkiv who were emigrating, I was the only one among my fellow students who went to see them off—without a care (ah, the naïve and innocent youth!) for the lurking KGB agents.

The great illusion of the 1990s was that the institutions of the Cold War would serve the post-Cold War era. But there is no way to effectively manage new processes with unchanged structures from a bygone time!

Now we are at a second turning point.
The previous one brought down the Iron Curtain between the West and the East. This one has raised an Iron Curtain within the West—between the two shores of the Atlantic.

I recently wrote that Europe must create a European Alliance for Security and Defense because Trump will destroy NATO.
Some Atlanticists jumped nervously.
But I wasn’t criticizing NATO at all.
After all, as I jokingly wrote here before, it wasn’t my fellow student Moni, but I who was the first Bulgarian to enter NATO!
Because as the head of the Bulgarian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I was the one handed the membership document for this organization! :)

For almost a month now, I’ve been writing here:
Trump has only "carrots" for Putin and only "sticks" for Zelensky!

A prominent Ukrainian analyst is actually speaking about yet another huge "carrot":
- Trump is on his way to bowing even lower before Putin and attending Red Square on May 9, exactly 80 years and 1 day after the end of World War II military actions on European territory. And the next day will be the cherry on top, the fulfillment of Putin’s childhood dream, the triumph of this dictator – Trump, Xi, and Putin will sit together, like in a new Yalta, to divide the world.
