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.

We are witnessing a coup in the United States,
carried out brazenly and arrogantly by the top 0.1%
of the American elite, through two presidents—
one de jure, the other de facto—Trump and Musk.
Today, they act “only” through political, economic, financial, social, and disinformation tools,
but tomorrow—through police forces,
and the day after—if necessary, through military means.

Do not forget that Hitler dealt the first devastating blows to German democracy through the parliament,
even without holding an absolute majority there!

As I wrote well before the U.S. elections, the scales were dramatically tipping in Trump's favor because four powerful lobbies were firmly backing him:
— The mega-billionaire lobby;
— The lobby profiting from strategic resources (primarily oil, but also gas, uranium, and non-ferrous and ferrous metals);
— The populist-politician lobby (ultra-right demagogues);
— The Jewish lobby.

The last lobby personally disturbed me the most—first, because I have had loyal Jewish friends for half a century; second, because Trump was driving a wedge between Ukraine, which hoped he wouldn’t win, and Israel, which strongly desired his victory.
