Fabio <\/a>Marcelli is\u00a0an international jurist. The unworthy subservience to the United States and the European Union is a harbinger of disaster for the people of Europe, and the Italian people in particular. Today, more than ever, the alternative is stark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In response to his toady, one of many in reality, NATO Secretary General\u00a0Mark Rutte<\/strong>, who tried to appease him by showing a graph showing the 1,200 billion euros spent by European countries for their benefit since 2017, Trump declared: \u201cWe don\u2019t need their money, we don\u2019t need anything, I just want loyalty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ankara summit<\/a>\u00a0undoubtedly served as an opportunity for NATO governments to unequivocally reaffirm this loyalty, while also reaffirming their commitment to\u00a0increasing their military spending<\/strong>, primarily purchasing US weapons to please Uncle Donald. All of this was done in the name of maintaining that “military superiority” that constitutes the West’s final frontier, which is in objective and increasing decline, not so much because Spengler had predicted it,<\/strong>\u00a0but because the political, economic, technological, and cultural data relating to the international community undeniably demonstrate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This decline is increasingly taking on the appearance of a pure criminal epic. From the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro<\/strong> (the only case of kidnapping of a sitting president known to history to date), to the bandit-like aggression against Iran, to the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, to the violation of every conceivable rule, including those that should apply to football matches and tournaments, the West repudiates law and order, deluding itself into believing it can win by virtue of a supposed military supremacy, itself largely imaginary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s clear that at this rate, we’ll end up with a nuclear catastrophe.<\/strong> But that’s not the only reason why the unworthy subservience to the United States and the European Union is a harbinger of disaster for the people of Europe, and the Italian people in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our wretched “states,” which in reality are increasingly fewer in number, appear destined to slavishly replicate, albeit in a caricatured version, the US system. From the concentration of wealth in a handful of hands, to the privatization of public spaces and services, from the persecution of migrants so they can be better used as labor or sex slaves, to the growing alienation and molecular violence also fueled by\u00a0the spread of drugs like\u00a0<\/a>Fentanyl<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0from the abandonment of a truly sustainable development model to the unrestrained dominance of large private powers operating in the finance, technology, and armaments sectors. In every respect, European states have long been following the\u00a0disastrous path<\/strong>\u00a0of the United States. And let’s not delude ourselves into thinking Trump is the problem. These are tendencies deeply rooted in the history of capitalism and will continue after Trump’s demise.\u00a0The only alternative,<\/strong>\u00a0a socialist one, is still far away\u2014in Europe, it seems, even more so than in the United States\u2014but it must be cultivated with consistency and determination, here as in them, and in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Loyal](\"https:\/\/st.ilfattoquotidiano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/24\/nato-trump-1200-690x362.jpg\")
