This Newsletter is the 11th published in 2025 and the 45th since the Russian aggression. Orange is a neutral color attached to the Revolution in Ukraine during the 2004 elections - the flag chosen by the opposition that demanded the end of a corrupt power inherited from the past. Russian disinformation has strengthened with Covid and increased tenfold since its alliance with China, Iran, or North Korea, which form a common front against the West. They rely on a victim narrative where Westerners would be responsible for all the ills against their countries and the whole world. Agent Orange used in Vietnam is one element among others in a broader and systematic strategy of distorting facts and misinformation. Westerners have committed and recognized crimes in their stories that they must repair and assume. But they are not responsible for all the misfortunes of the planet. An escalation is reached in November 2025 with a return of nuclear weapons brandished as a threat by the United States like Russia. Europe is carried away by the Russian regime in a strategy of ultra-violence against individuals (hot war) and institutions (hybrid war). The Europeans are in the situation described by Stanley Kubrick in «Clockwork Orange» - victims of psychological and mental conditioning to lower their guard and submit to autocracies who only want «their own good».
