This Newsletter is the 7th published in 2025 and the 42nd since the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Gray is the intermediate color between black and white. With a caricatural, binary, black or white approach, gray has infinite shades. But at night, all cats are gray; we no longer know the true from the false, the good from the evil. The Russian population has been mistreated during its history – freed from the tsarist feudal yoke, it has been manipulated by the apparatchiks of the Soviet era, of gray souls. They welcomed Vladimir Putin like a saviour in 2000. Gray matter and courage are the two characteristics of Ukrainians who have been resisting for more than ten years against the repeated attacks of the Russian regime. There is no shortage of grey eminences in Europe. Faced with the announced withdrawal of their first ally, the United States, the Europeans are rearming and taking back their destiny in hand. They are caught between a direct war (led by Russia in Ukraine) and an indirect one (trade war). This double strategy of coercion is not a "silver bullet". The European Union is not made up of robots but of human beings with strong emotions sometimes difficult to master. To the «replicants» of Blade Runner (1), grey souls, we will always oppose the European spirit, with all its shades of grey. The silver bullet is in our camp.
