Strategy Synergy Security

A major feature of the current strategic situation is the increasing pressure on Russia and Ukraine, most of all, naturally, on Putin and Zelensky, to put some roughly acceptable, relatively legitimate end to the War.
This is the strong desire of both China and the West (Europe and the USA – partly together, generally separately).
One of the reasons (but only one of the reasons, not The Reason!) is the increasingly real danger of another Trump coming to power.

For several days I was in the very heart of Europe.
Everything (or almost everything) there was connected with football. On the surface of the impressions, it was as if there was no trace of the War, although in fact it was raging very close by.
In Europe, too often the illusion is created that everything is going well and nothing terrible is happening, everything is going on as it always has.
After all, Europe once organized the Olympics in the very lair of Evil, thereby demonstrating that everything went on as before. And the fact that something strange was happening and suddenly Jewish neighbors and colleagues began to disappear - it was most convenient to simply not notice. Europe is not a good place for faint-hearted people...

After yesterday's elections, Bulgaria is simply dumbfounded!
Let us, however, raise our heads and not look only at our Bulgarian provincial reality!
Bulgaria is mercilessly clear - here once again the Status Quo retained victory, and the Status Quo won the way it wanted. Bulgaria is a hopeless, sullen patch on the Western blanket.

The problem is much more serious, more terrible, more apocalyptic, more catastrophic!

While my friends in Kharkiv are under constant fire and live in constant transition from one circle of Hell to another;
while Kharkiv has no means of air defense (and such means are sitting in the dust in the Western arsenals);
while Ukraine resists and daily loses people, infrastructure, forces, public unity, trust in its leaders;
while all sorts of forums and sub-forums overflow from empty words, producing words, only words...
the attitude of the West towards the War is undergoing an evolution.
I would call it de-evolution.

Regarding some criticisms, a personal explanation:

I realize how important the West is for Bulgaria and for Ukraine.
I realize that this is our West, we don't have any other West…
I realize that the West is no longer what it used to be and is still not what it should be.
I realize that there are many dark forces and even more forces of Evil that are against the leadership of the West and that the South is less eager to cure its problems and more indulges in anti-Western emotions and complexes.
I realize how difficult it is today for the West to be the West, when hundreds of millions, if not several billions of people hate the West not even for what it does, but for what it is.
