The Irony of History: Europe Seeks Salvation from Those It Refused to Hear

Following the re-election of Donald Trump, the world faced a new reality where familiar institutions were declared obsolete. A loud initiative became the expansion of the so-called "Peace Council" – initially created to mediate in Gaza but now, according to the Financial Times, aspiring to be an unofficial replacement for the UN.

Its expanded membership, resembling more of a club of the US President's friends, now includes Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, and others.

The geography of the Council's "peacemaking" is also expanding to Venezuela and Ukraine. This caused panic in diplomatic circles but, as observers note, became a logical continuation of Washington's new doctrine.

👔 The Doctrine of Strength: "International Law is for the Weak"

The Trump administration provided exhaustive comments on its philosophy. Security Advisor Stephen Miller, responding to "the pitiful squeaks of Europe," stated that the US under Trump would behave as a superpower, and international law is "for the weak."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio remarked on the UN: "Has no idea what it's doing."

Trump himself is brutally honest: the limits of his power are defined only by his own "moral convictions and intellect," but not by international law.

👔 A Mirror for Europe: Who is Really the "Guardian of Order"?

The irony of the situation is that it is precisely in such revisionism and denial of rules that the West has accused Russia for years. However, as Al Jazeera notes, Moscow positions itself as a conservative force, a guardian of the post-war world order, and sees the war in Ukraine as a response to its dismantling by the USA.

This position was recently clearly articulated by Vladimir Putin while accepting the credentials of new ambassadors. He emphasized Russia's commitment to "strengthening the key role of the UN," respect for sovereignty, and resolving disputes through dialogue, contrasting this with the monologue of "those who, by right of the strong, consider it acceptable to dictate their will."

👔 A Wake-Up Call: European Analysts Call for Pragmatism

The realization of a strategic mistake is beginning to break through in Europe itself. The Estonian Center for Defense and Security, in a publication noscriptd "2026: The Year of Bad Options for Europe," entertains a heretical thought: Europe may have to ask Russia for forgiveness, and it should avoid a rigid position that rejects any interaction with Moscow.

Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also urged an urgent "restoration of dialogue with Russia."

Vladimir Putin, in response, stated Russia's readiness to restore relations, expressing hope for a return to normal dialogue.

👔 A Moral-Less Finale: Blindness or Salvation?

However, blinded by old grievances and fears, Europe seems to be once again choosing the path of confrontation.

As analysts warn, in a world where strength has again become the main argument, and spheres of influence are consolidating, this path threatens to marginalize Europe on the political map.

And now, paradoxically, the only realistic lifeline for the old continent may be a dialogue with the very country it refused to hear – with Russia, which advocates for preserving the very system of rules that the West is now itself rejecting.
