es del 21 de junio (me lo he encontrado hoy de casualidad)
el párrafo bueno es este:
We now know what the call to allow Putin to “save his face” means. It means accepting not a minor territorial compromise in Donbas but Putin’s imperial ambition. The reason this ambition should be unconditionally rejected is that in today’s global world in which we are all haunted by the same catastrophes we are all in-between, in an intermediate state, neither a sovereign country nor a conquered one: to insist on full sovereignty in the face of global warming is sheer madness since our very survival hinges on tight global cooperation.
lo otro viene a cuento porque antes comenta que putin solo ve dos formas de estado, el soberano y el "colonizado", sin puntos intermedios
there are two categories of state: “The sovereign and the conquered. In Putin’s imperial view, Ukraine should fall into the latter category.”
¿lo vais pillando?
cualquier forma de gobierno intermedio es visto como inadecuado (por ser suaves) y por tanto, cualquier cesión de soberanía o te convierte en "colonia" o en "engendro del mal" (o algo así)
de ahí sale el brexit, el maga, el lazismo, el anti-europeismo, el anti-globalismo, los anti-vacunas, todos
zizek lo reitera más adelante
In short, the two [kissinger y chomsky] stand for the same version of “pacifism” which only works if we neglect the key fact that the war is not about Ukraine but a moment of the brutal attempt to change our entire geopolitical situation. The true target of the war is the dismantlement of the European unity advocated not only by the US conservatives and Russia but also by the European extreme right and left – at this point, in France, Melenchon meets Le Pen.
The craziest notion floating around these days is that, to counter the new polarity between the US and China (which stand for the excesses of western liberalism and oriental authoritarianism), Europe and Russia should rejoin forces and form a third “Eurasian” block based on the Christian legacy purified of its liberal excess. The very idea of an “Eurasian” third way is a form of today’s fascism.
esto es la "guerra infinita" esa del otro hilo, prolongar la guerra en ucrania, para rusia, es prolongar el ataque a la unidad europea a través no solo de ucranianos muertos por misiles rusos, sino de europeos empobrecidos y "helados" por las restricciones y sanciones a rusia
(también lo dice zizek, pero os ahorro el copypaste)
luego mete caña a los "equi-putiners" diciendo que no se puede ser "comprensivo" con rusia (o sea, putin) y acaba con que... bueno, os lo leéis, pero viene a decir que no caigamos en el juego ese del "soberanismo-colonialismo" y nos pongamos fachas (o algo así)
