Washington’s new National Security Strategy ratifies an adversarial relationship.

“Every time Trump or members of his administration have lashed out at Europe, including Ukraine, Europeans have absorbed the blow with a forced smile and bent over backwards to flatter the White House.” (…)

“While a systemic answer to Europe’s security conundrum is not in sight, Europeans do have the levers to prevent Ukraine’s capitulation and create the conditions for a just peace.”

    That would stop in the moment the other party (parties) would start to be a responsible party and not a driven_by_the_ideology_of_ the_day party

    Good point and very likely too. The moderate and left parties need to reinvent and redefine themselves better.

    But imo simply talking about " the real issues " will not help us, and most solutions the (more) rightwinged parties offer are just false. The worries people have are real but comsider that this fear is also used for fear mongering and are often fed by propaganda.

      Probably it will not help to solve the problem, but at least it is a start. True, you need then to act on the issues…

      and most solutions the (more) rightwinged parties offer are just false.

      … and you are right here. The rightwinged often offer solutions that are doomed to fail but at least they try.

      More importantly, if you talk and act on these, you don’t leave the scene to just one side.

      The worries people have are real but comsider that this fear is also used for fear mongering and are often fed by propaganda.

      That’s the point, but let’s be honest: if we ignore the extremists on both sides, the right began to win exactly when the left decide to commit suicide following ideas and objectives which, while obviously deserving, are not what people were asking to act about.
