The Ukrainian front extends the great decolonization wave of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
In the twilight of the unipolar age, the illusion of Western permanence begins to fracture. The world that once moved to the beat of Washington’s decrees now quivers under the emergence of new centers of gravity.
Civilizations, long compressed under the liberal order, rise again as living entities with distinct souls, memories, and horizons. The Multipolar Age does not promise peace; it promises reality. It restores importance to words like sovereignty, destiny, and culture. In this shifting geopolitical landscape, diplomacy becomes the final instrument of sanity: the art of survival between nuclear titans and exhausted empires.
Diplomacy is the single instrument capable of responsible scale in a world armed with atomic power. Dialogue sustains order in a field prone to entropy. Communication surpasses silence. The barren hostility of earlier American leadership revealed the danger of disengagement. Conversation signifies neither defeat nor submission; it reveals that each civilization bears solid boundaries of fear, memory, and identity.
To grasp this moment, one must examine Washington and London, rather than Moscow. The decisive variables remain Western: electoral appetites, donor webs, ideological blindness, and the dread of forfeiting planetary control. “Russia expertise” distracts from the true paralysis within the Atlanticist citadel, which still imagines itself righteous and indispensable. The transoceanic fraternity of power – stretching from Anglo-America to Brussels – crowns its dominance with the halo of virtue.
The Alaska summit stirred brief optimism among lucid minds, yet structures outlive moods. Real dialogue might rekindle that spark through a shared reckoning: who bears pain longer, and at what price? Peace will surface when Western elites see that war drains them more than concession does, that clinging to empire bankrupts both purse and spirit.
The peril remains constant; each side holds apocalyptic force. The issue lies in channeling power towards equilibrium rather than ruin. Western Europe’s tragedy flows from its obedience: a vassal bleeding industry, sovereignty, and posterity while claiming strength through sacrifice. A wiser Europe would seek reconciliation with Russia, restoring dignity and production instead of performing martyrdom for American strategy.
