This newsletter is the 3rd published in 2025 and the 37th since the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Red symbolizes fire (life) and blood (death). It is associated with the divine or sin. It was the color of the nobility of the clergy (cardinals) as that of the Bolshevik revolutions of 1917 or of communist China of 1949. Red is a color of passion. It fits perfectly with the tyranny of emotions that characterizes the 21st century. We often hesitate between laughter and tears in the face of a geopolitics that escapes us and makes us anxious. The falsification of history is a specialty of the USSR as well as of Putin’s Russia, the recovery of the Red Army is a good example. At the beginning of 2025, Ukraine is subliminally sending red lights to its allies as US aid enters a transactional phase. The “red lines” that must not be crossed, judged as points of no return, must be used wisely against opponents who constantly blur the cards and push the limits ever further. The European Parliament has recalled what would be the red lines of the EU in an eloquent text, published in January 2025, facing a Russian informational war that is about to recover the allied victory of the Second World War (1945-2025). If yesterday Allies decide to declare a war to the European Union, they must be prepared to red flag from Europe. Let’s hope for the best but be prepared to the worst.
