This issue is the 11th one for 2024 and the 33rd since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.... On the 5th of November 2024, the US elections will be decisive for Europe and the World. Isolationism is asserted on the Republican side, with a candidate, Donald Trump, who promises to settle things in 24 hours with Vladimir Putin. If Kamala Harris, the Democrats' candidate, is elected, European countries will be reassured under the condition that her side has a majority in Parliament (Senate and House of Representatives). In a first point, we will ask ourselves if there are «adults in the room» on the Republican side. In a second point, we will reflect on the golden age of the Russian president, a return to the old, Soviet world of gulags. In a third point, we will discuss the entry into adulthood of Ukraine with an opinion that is expressed freely on the streets and through free media. In a final point, we will mention the Peter Pan syndrome, which characterizes beings who do not want to grow. Faced with nuclear weapons, and the Russian threats, European countries must show maturity. Democracies have everything to lose if Ukraine capitulates. This war would not have been in vain if the European countries understood that they had to build a common defense against the threat of authoritarian countries, without US support. An existential challenge for the 21st century.
