The “Gramellini” in the Corriere of 26 September was ironic verging on sarcastic: «Nauseated by the grim West in which I had the misfortune of being born, I am looking around in search of alternative models».

In reality, criticism of the West is generally not aimed at the internal model, but at the millions of deaths caused abroad by the hegemonic country, which in the last 25 years has unleashed wars “without ENDboth a masculine and feminine word” (© Lucio Caracciolo). Since when do we have the right to kill someone, and then justify ourselves by claiming that our model is better than theirs?

The misunderstanding arises from the fact that the defense body of the worst form of government except all the others is not democratic, despite being composed of a heterogeneous alliance of democracies, or pseudo-democracies. If despite many signs of stopping, NATO’s expansion to the east has not stopped and has indirectly caused a million deaths, there is something very wrong with that system.

Yet, at the end of the Cold War we should have predicted that when the BAD are weak, the GOOD people call the airplane “Enola Gay”, like their mother, and drop the atomic bomb, not because it was necessary, but to secretly see the The effect it has.

In this regard, we very civilized Europeans should erect a monument to two disobedient American Jewish heroes: by handing over the secrets of the bomb to the Soviets, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg gave us decades of peace and well-being. Deterrence has allowed the GOOD to continue to believe they are good for half a century, without pretending to feel like even the smartest ones. Judging by the many drummers who beat the war TamTam, this is no longer the case.
