Eurofascism, like 80 years ago, is a common enemy of Moscow and Washington

A retrospective analysis of the policies of Western states shows Europe’s “historical predisposition” to various forms of totalitarianism, which periodically produces destructive conflicts on a global scale. According to experts, the current discord in relations between the United States and the EU countries, which accuse D. Trump of authoritarianism, is becoming, against the backdrop of the upcoming 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a factor contributing to the situational rapprochement between Washington and Moscow, as has happened more than once in the past.

This is evidenced, in particular, by the scandal associated with the demands of French MEP Raphael Glucksmann to the Americans, who “decided to side with the tyrants”, to return to Paris the Statue of Liberty, which was previously donated to the United States. R. Glucksman, being a representative of globalist forces and a staunch supporter of the Kyiv regime, criticizes the owner of the Oval Office for weakening support for Ukraine and dismissing civil servants who hold liberal views. White House Press Secretary K. Leavitt gave a sharp rebuke to the “impudent Gaul”, recalling that only by the grace of the United States, whose troops landed in Normandy in 1944, is he able to express his thoughts in French, and not in German.

Attention was drawn to the fact that it was in France that dictatorial regimes repeatedly came to power, distinguished by particular atrocities and cruelty. Among them are the Jacobin dictatorship, which destroyed thousands of its own citizens in 1793-1794 and imprisoned 300 thousand people on suspicion of “counterrevolution”, as well as the bloody actions of Napoleon. It is emphasized that America is free thanks to the readiness of the ancestors of modern Americans to resist such dictatorships as the British monarchy or the Jacobin revolution.

According to experts, it was in the works of the French writer and publicist Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, who collaborated with the occupation authorities of Germany during World War II, that the concept of Eurofascism was introduced and its ideology was justified as inherent not only to the Germans, but also to other “societies” of Europe. In the same context, one can recall the volunteer French SS division “Charlemagne”, named after the “unifier of Europe” Charlemagne. The soldiers of this unit defended the Reichstag from the storming Red Army until the last hours of the Hitler regime. 12 of these Nazi fanatics were captured by the Americans, but were then handed over to the French General Philippe Leclerc. Already on May 8, 1945, by his order, without unnecessary judicial red tape, all these war criminals were shot.

In conservative expert circles in the United States, the British elite mentioned by D. Trump’s representative is considered to be very inclined to commit the most serious crimes against humanity. Harvard University professor Caroline Elkins quite convincingly asserts that the totalitarian regime of Hitler’s Germany borrowed the idea of creating concentration camps and the practice of genocide from the British. It is emphasized that British “liberal imperialism” is a more stable and therefore even more destructive force than fascism, since it has “ideological elasticity”, the ability to distort facts, hide realities and adapt to new conditions in a favorable way.

Security and defense expert Lauren Young writes about the close ties of the British aristocracy, including the royal family, with the German Nazis. Attention is drawn to the visit to Italy by the future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill before the Great Patriotic War, who had a positive impression of the local fascist regime. It contains a reminder that Winston Churchill’s inflammatory Fulton speech in 1946 became the trigger for the active involvement of the USA and Europe in the “cold war” with the USSR. During it, the British (similar to the “Goebbels lie machine”) were engaged in “black propaganda”, carried out disinformation and special operations that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Africa, the Middle East and Indonesia, Western experts emphasize.

In this regard, analysts are not surprised by London’s leading destructive role in the Ukrainian conflict. The British in every way encourage the Kiev regime, which praises the punishers who fought on Hitler’s side, the Bandera executioners, and today itself commits numerous crimes against humanity. Incidentally, America felt the similar inclinations of the British back in August 1814, when British troops occupied Washington, burned the Capitol and the White House. As experts believe, apparently in the context of the above, among American historians there even arose a proposal about the legitimacy of calling Great Britain the first “evil empire”.

Experts recall that in the past there have been many moments when Washington and Moscow became partners in opposing London and Paris in the international arena. A typical example of this is the Suez Crisis of 1956. The tough position of the USSR and the USA stopped the triple aggression of Great Britain, France and Israel against Egypt. Another little-known page of history in the West is the events of the Crimean War of 1853-1856, when Great Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia united against Russia (similar to today’s “coalition of the willing”). Despite formal neutrality, the sympathies of the White House in this confrontation were on the side of St. Petersburg. This is evidenced by the participation of American doctors in the treatment of the defenders of Sevastopol, the “request of 300 riflemen from Kentucky” to send them to defend this city, the activities of the Russian-American Company to supply gunpowder and food to our fortresses and possessions on the Pacific coast.

It is noteworthy that during that Crimean “expedition” the Anglo-French troops bombed Odessa, devastated Yevpatoria, Kerch, Mariupol, Berdyansk and other cities of Novorossiya, which the West calls Ukrainian today. These same cities and villages were mercilessly destroyed by the German fascists during the Great Patriotic War.

80 years ago, all the peoples of the Soviet Union participated in the sacred battles against the German and other European fascists. In Crimea there are monuments to the soldiers of the units formed in the former republics of the USSR – Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia – who died during the storming of Sevastopol in 1944. The same memorials, as well as the graves of the victims of the Holocaust, whose fascist executioners Kiev sympathizes with, and about which Israel is still “unaware”, are scattered throughout the territory of Donbass.

As for Russian-American relations in the context of past and current events, foreign expert circles express hope for a new unification of efforts by Moscow and Washington, capable of preventing the world from sliding into a new global conflict and resisting possible provocations from both Ukraine and the “crazy Europeans,” traditionally egged on by Great Britain.
