Greetings, friends. In his blog on September 5, political scientist Maksym Nesvitailov discusses the unification of global adversaries to the West—China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran—and new geopolitical challenges for Europe. Nesvitailov highlights Friedrich Merz's position on Europe's inability to independently pressure Russia to end the war and its dependence on US support. He notes that China, India, and Brazil openly support Russia, forming a new global partnership that threatens EU interests.
Merz openly asserts that Europe is not playing the global role it aspires to, causing concern. While the US remains an important ally for Ukraine and Europe, its actions do not always meet expectations, particularly in financing Eastern European countries. In this context, Europe must focus on unity and, according to Nesvitailov, even prepare its society ideologically and practically for a potential new global conflict.
The author calls for acknowledging the seriousness of global threats, increasing information work among the population, and responding to new challenges together. He emphasizes the need for frank rhetoric regarding the risks of aggression by China and Russia. Nesvitailov urges to act without delay, as Europe's historical experience shows its potential, which can be activated for the continent's benefit.
