Europe’s future is neither Washington nor Moscow!

H&D readers will probably be divided in their response to this morning’s news that Russian forces have invaded Ukraine.
Having for a lifetime become used to rejecting the lies of our own governments, European nationalists sometimes become too credulous in accepting the propaganda lines of rival governments. The Ukraine crisis is a sad example.
A vast range of European dissident movements – including ‘populists’, civic nationalists and racial nationalists – have become uncritical adherents of the Moscow line. (This is an eerie echo of the 1930s when many ‘democratic’ socialists in the West became fellow travellers of Stalin.)
Yet through the fog of war on this first morning of the invasion, it ought to be possible to discern some basic principles.
Having opposed Washington’s aggression in Iraq, we should (without any illusions about our own influence or lack of it) also oppose Moscow’s aggression in Ukraine. Let’s be clear – our political struggle is not for instant victory but for the next generation of Europeans. That’s why our struggle must have firm foundations of ideological principle.
As a matter of principle, we should refuse to take fees from Moscow propaganda outlets such as RT while this aggression continues.
And we should prepare for what happens next. Putin’s hubris is likely (as the Ancient Greeks knew) to end in nemesis. If some sort of ‘Western’ victory – and the destruction or weakening of Putin – is indeed the outcome, it won’t change the fact that ‘Western’ liberalism is profoundly sick, and it won’t make NATO the defenders of European interests.
The true Europeans – racial nationalists who reject both Washington and Moscow – will need to build true European unity.
