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.
Not analysis this time, but with sense blinded by anxiety - a sense of shame:
After the First Critical Point of the War passed and the West, like Putin, was deceived in its expectations and convinced itself that there would be no Kiev in three days, i.e. Ukraine will not capitulate in three weeks, the Second Critical Point of the War came - the stunning Ukrainian victories (Kharkiv and Kherson).
Then the West adopted a policy (with strategic dimensions) of convincing Ukraine that it could not win the War.

From one of my friends in Kharkiv:
- We are a brave city, despite the looming real danger! I'm watching a football game between kids. Children chase the ball, rejoice, hug each other when they score a goal - like all children in the world. And their mothers are on duty with smartphones on and watching for the approach of glide bombs. As soon as there is a message about such a bomb, everyone runs to the nearest shelter. At the same time, children play with the consent of their parents, no one forces them! While I was watching the matches - nearly 3 hours - we saw how two bombs smoothly fell with terrible force in the area of Alekseevka and Kholodnaya Gora.
