Intermarium and Ukraine against the emerging right
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
The way in which the peace negotiations are creating a scenario favourable to Russia and detrimental to Eastern Europe, particularly Ukraine, marks a change of era and aggravates the crisis of liberal democracy in the world. It is not necessary to specifically point out who says what in relation to Ukraine and NATO, but the truth is that the United States government headed by Republican Donald Trump is including Russia in the Western sphere to the detriment of Europe. How much difference is there compared to the nineties of the last century? The song “God Old Boys” seems to replace the “Winds of change” of that time. Russia can be a hope for the West if Europe embraces the alternative radical right.
Trump, Vance or Rubio seem to justify Vladimir Putin's competitive authoritarianism against the liberal excesses of Western democracy, the fear of the Americans regarding China seems more than real and, therefore, the need for geopolitical regrouping with Russia becomes indispensable, even if it is with the minimum common denominators.
Ukraine is being excluded from the peace process and, apparently, will be fragmented to contain Russian nationalism. The geopolitical advances against Russia led by the American Democratic Party and the Zbigniew Brzezinski model have been contrasted by the Chinese reality; they were not a mistake but something worse.
The right wing is expanding and has, increasingly, greater resources and positions, NATO and the European capitalist countries are vulnerable to the nationalist state capitalism promoted by Russia and the United States. The discourse of liberal democratic globalization has been cancelled and now other globalizations are being seen, perhaps more regional where conservative personalist leaders are receiving the main electoral support.
The countries that intended to marginalize Russia under the geopolitical scheme of the Intermarium or the Three Seas Initiative, have found themselves in adverse scenarios where globalist neoliberalism seems to be the true Chinese conspiracy.
The West will have to subordinate itself to Russia and adopt competitive conservatism in order to find the means to resist the economic and geopolitical onslaught of the Asian giant. In the end, it is the civilisational war that has been the hidden element of any geopolitical essence.
