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.

I keep thinking more and more about the following:

The inner circle around Putin considers him to be a ruthless, brutal, brazen, merciless, insecure, and cynical individual—someone who is extremely beneficial to them, allowing them to become ultra-rich, monstrous oligarchs, looters of enormous wealth and property, kleptomaniacs of the highest order. Their attitude toward Putin is purely pragmatic, selfish, opportunistic, and greedy. They have no illusions about what kind of ruler he is—just the most cunning, the most ruthless, the most bloodthirsty, and the most vile among them all. He outplayed them, seized power, took absolute control, and now they are entirely dependent on him, trembling before him. End of story.
