Between Russia and Ukraine the war continues and the first mediators appear.
In this international position are France, the EU, China, Turkey, Brazil.
The intermediations are questioned by the contestants.
This is the case of China, which was criticized by the United States.
The Brazilian proposal was not accepted by Ukraine.
Lula in China with Xi discussed the issue of creating a group for peace.
His adviser Celso Amorin did the same with Putin recently.
In this context, the Russian foreign minister assumes the presidency of the Security Council and says that his country will negotiate only based on Russian interests and the principles on which the new "world order" will be founded.
Thus he affirms that Russian interests must be considered and accuses the United States of prolonging the war in Ukraine.
Space to reflect.
In the future it is good to ask ourselves some questions.
Is that new order defined?
What do we share with the world order initiated by Putin?: the territorial invasion?
War?
The nuclear threat?
Criminal indictment by The Hague Court?
The absolutist autocracy that seeks to restore a past order?
Russia was looking at Europe and now it is looking at Asia.
Particularly towards the Central Empire.
They created the "iron curtain" for an Eastern Europe that ceased to be, because it sought its independence, based on the values of freedom and the fall of the Soviet Union.
Today, Finland is a new thorn in NATO.
The great historian Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975), a scholar of China, said that between Asia and Europe, Russia could be the balance and avoid conflicts.
It is not what is happening.
We'll see how it evolves.
Macron, after his meeting with Xi in Beijing, said that Europe must become a third world power.
Where are we as Argentina?: In the western hemisphere.
In the “far west” in the words of Alain Rouquié.
It is geography and also a set of values, of history, of building the future.
It is a place of production and integral capitalist development.
We are part of a larger geopolitical and strategic space, which includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and the countries that make up the subregions of our continent.
The native peoples.
The European Union, Africa-Asia, are the reflection of our migratory ancestors as a sociocultural conformation of our hemisphere.
Despite this wealth, we are a region of great inequalities.
It comes to my mind, being in New York, when Alfonsín was president, when the Argentine ambassador Marcelo Delpech invited us to have lunch with his American colleague at the UN, the ambassador and general Vernon Walters (1917-2002) who had been a trusted man of Richard Nixon, and in the CIA during his presidency.
A man who, due to his actions, kept great state secrets.
Delpech tells us there that the General wanted to transmit to us through our youth and militancy the mission given to him by Nixon and his meeting with General Perón in Olivos.
A personal testimony of which there was no public information.
He recounts that they had a long three-hour conversation where Nixon's envoy gave a detailed recount of events and recognition of Perón's regional and global vision.
He told us that if we had listened to him at the time, we would have avoided many problems in the region.
Especially how to deal with the left that emerged in Latin America, where the Cuban revolution had already triumphed.
That Nixon was very interested in meeting him.
The general flew in Air Force One. Perón sent his helicopter to Ezeiza and received him in a guayabera with great empathy from general to general.
Perón's health problems and Nixon's Watergate did not make the meeting of the Presidents possible.
But they buried slogans rooted in another historical moment.
They opened the door to integrated competitive market democracy within the framework of capitalist continentalism.
Days later, Perón threw the Montoneros out of Plaza de Mayo.
This does not mean that even today immature and inconsistent views persist, outside of the time in which we live.
The Cold War left its scars on him.
They try to bring us closer to what is far to dilute our location and belonging.
Strategic confusion, supposes choosing allies of circumstance or occasional language according to the conjunctural convenience.
This is happening in our country due to a lack of patriotism, which means a historical sense of the present.
Align national needs to petty projects, lacking in grandeur, with national and regional actors that operate with extra-continental powers with political conflicts that are far from our interests.
There is talk of "strategic allies", "integral strategic allies", difficult to understand, vulgarly, what we call "diplomacy to the bartola".
It seems that in the "crisis" we have the habit of putting on a convenient suit without measuring the shoulders or the buttons that hold it up.
We were similar to Canada also to Australia (time passed).
We Argentines have the answer for the present.
You just need to get it running.
The reality torments.
Every new election gives us an opportunity.
