December has been Chamber of Commerce weather for the most part. There were a few freezing mornings but the past couple of weeks have been in the upper 30s with a forecast of 40s for the rest of the month. High temperatures in the 70s or upper 60s. The snowbirds are getting their moneys worth.
This past week I have done a morning walk with my different shoes and the foot pains have not reoccurred. Only doing the morning walks to get the leg muscles use to the different shoes which is always an issue. Although only morning walks I have increased the distance each day and today will start adding a mid day walk.
This is another quote from The Defeat of the West (La Défaite de l’Occident) that I’m slowly reading along with other books. The translation is readable as I have said before but it is rather poorly done by Google.
Europe, however, did not plunge into this war despite these absurdities and these improbabilities, by chance, by stupidity, by accident. Something pushed her. It’s not all the fault of the United States. This something is its own implosion.
The official goal of Ukraine, and therefore of those who support it, is to place territories populated by Russians, in Crimea and Donbass, under the authority of the Kiev government. Why has Europe, a continent of peace, technically engaged in what historians of the future will view as a war of aggression? An aggression, it is true, of a singular kind: we do not send an army, we are content to provide equipment and money, sacrificing the Ukrainian population, military or civilian.
The European project is dead. A feeling of sociological and historical emptiness has invaded our elites and our middle classes. In this context, the Russian attack on Ukraine seemed almost like a godsend. The media editorialists also made no secret of it: Putin, through his “special military operation”, gave new meaning to European construction; the EU needed an external enemy to come together and move forward. This optimistic speech betrayed a darker truth. The Union is a gas factory, unmanageable and, literally, irreparable. Its institutions are running empty; its single currency has led to irreversible internal imbalances; his reaction to the “Putin threat” does not necessarily show an effort to pull himself together but perhaps, on the contrary, a suicidal impulse: it would express the hope, unspeakable, that this endless war will, ultimately, do everything explode. After having machined a dysfunctional Maastrichtian machinery, our elites could thus discard themselves on the Russia; their obscure desire would be for the war to rid Europe of itself. Putin would be their savior, a redeeming Satan.
Everything predisposed Germany, following its reunification, then the rise of its financial power during the 2007-2008 crisis, to play the role of leader in Europe and to distinguish itself from the United States. This is the path she seemed to take in 2003 when The new role that the United States is currently playing in Europe, that of providing the Union with military-assisted death, is also surprising. Impoverished by forty years of neoliberalism quite ridiculous and worrying since the Trump episode, which is not over, America is no longer, in any area, a credible leader . By 1985, the German, French and Italian infant mortality rates were simultaneously lower than the American infant mortality rate. By 1993, life expectancy in these same three countries (the main nations of the original European group) exceeded that recorded in the United States. The feeling that America was in relative decline had been one of the driving forces behind Maastricht, and had aroused among Europeans a desire for autonomy, and even power.
