POWER, PROFIT, REVENGE

01-03-2025

Something has gone very wrong in America, when its President and Vice-President carefully prepare and broadcast a TV show in the very oval office of the White House in which they publicly humiliate the Jewish President of Ukraine for defending his country against unprovoked aggression. The whole world could watch it.

Motives?

On assuming office, Donald Trump had made quite clear that his primary purpose is to take revenge against everyone and everything connected with the Biden Administration and in a wider sense with  American policy since the end of the First World War. In Vladimir Putin he found his ally in revenge. Putin announced and began revenge against the "geopolitcal catastrophy of the collapse" of the Soviet Union in 2000.

The Illusions of Detente

Footprints of the 20th Century - Third Edition

Description

Since 1989, we refer to the whole post-war period as the “Cold War Era”. Such was not the case in 1968. At the time, the Cold War – in our perception – was behind us. We no longer felt to be in the midst of it. Europeans on the Western side of the Iron Curtain0 felt relatively at ease with Europe’s division. The era of Détente as we called it, was0 considered to be a fairly stable and long-lasting political condition, even after Soviet tanks crushed Dubcek’s socialism with a human face in Pragu
