Trumpist Gatillazo | Opinion | The country

Once again, Trump threatens and does not give. When whoever has in front is stronger, of course. If it is weaker, then it is breastfeeding and grows. It is enough to compare the most deferentized treatment towards Putin at the Achorage summit with the shameful and humiliating enclosure he organized for Zelensky in the White House. Red carpet, air parade, applause and smiles, a seat shared in the presidential armored limousine and not a single reproach for the dictator on which an international arrest warrant for war crimes weighs and that has once again rejected the essential high fire prior to a balanced peace negotiation.

Before the democratic president, who chose to resist the invader instead of flight and exile, on the other hand, everything has been demands of Leonine contracts to exploit mineral resources, restrictions on the supply of weapons and negative to any serious security guarantee after the high unconditional fire that has already been accepted.

Trump was going to impose it in 24 hours. Seven months have passed since the promise, also directed to Israel, and Putin continues to laugh at his beards. Like Netanyahu. It always ends up wrinkling, as the slogan of his adversaries, which exasperates him: “Trump Always Chickn Out.”

The summit will go down in history, certainly, but not as expected by the White House Trumpist. It will be registered in the annals such as the wreck of the amateur diplomacy that Trump’s corrupt friends has installed in the government, after destroying the best institutions and the brightest professionals with whom he has had a democratic country to manage his foreign relations.

He had another excellent, disciplined and effective institution, set in the professionalism of Soviet Secret and Military Services and the Stalinist Agitprop, which knows how to exploit the vanity, greed and corruption of Trumpism and has done so once again conscientious in the preparations of the Alaska Meeting.

Nothing can hide the size of failure. Putin leaves smiling, without Trump making any of his vague threats effective. Devoid of this time of the inevitable hyperboles with which he adorns his exploits, does not admit questions and goes to an absurd tautology: “There is no agreement until there is no agreement.”

We know where the scheme of such a statement comes from, ridiculous mimesis of the great international negotiations in which it is about closing complex agreements, composed of several chapters, which can be closed one by one, but none enters into force until the final agreement has been achieved. In this case everything was reduced to a yes a no, to follow the war or that will silence the weapons, at least during a substantial truce, rejected by Putin if their demands are not previously granted, which are the program of his victory.

Putin is no longer a stingy. It is about who is proclaimed leader of the free world, without receiving a single reproach. From neighbor to neighbor, far from the European territory, where the war arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court governs. But the failure is not just Trump. His international rehabilitation in Anchorage is his exclusive responsibility, but the failure transcends him. It is another step, surrounded by the essential pomp to go down in history, in the slow destruction of the international order based on law in favor of another organized only by force. In Yalta the world was distributed and in Anchorage the diplomatic decay of the United States is exhibited.

Politically it could be worse, if it had generated conclusions and agreements, and even some type of high fire, because Russian diplomatic superiority would have taken all the slices. It has probably been the recent European pressure on Trump that has prevented an even greater disaster. Hence, I should not spread the discouragement in Europe before the Trumpist Gatillaz.

Although nothing is expected from the current White House, at least in Anchorage it has been demonstrated once again the need and urgency of a strong European reaction to the growing and inexorable irresponsibility of the United States. The fair and necessary peace for Ukraine is definitely an issue of Europeans.
