Pax Romana and conflicts

President Zelensky’s Friday meeting (02/28) with Trump
and his vice-president in the “oval office” of the White House was a reaffirmation of Trump’s policy of Pax Romana, where the weakest must yield to the strongest, and also asked for Zelensky’s gratitude to the US, not unlike the policy for the Middle East, the control of the Palestinians by Israel and the US.
Zelensky reacted by taking part in the summit in London on Sunday (02/03), reaffirming Europe’s position of support for Zelensky, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Great Britain stating that it was “a unique moment in a generation for the security of Europe” which fears further advances by Putin on the continent, all countries are militarizing.
The Roman Pax was the mere surrender of its adversaries by force, this is the tactic of both imperialism and colonizations, which are still happening in the contemporary world. After the meeting, Zelensky also met with Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s premier, who said she wanted to build a bridge between Italy and the US and a future conference with the US.
The idea of a new ceasefire agreement in the Middle East (which ended on the 1st) now involves the American proposal for control of the Gaza Strip and Israel has suspended humanitarian.
At the beginning of last week, Turkey’s stance in support of Ukraine came as a surprise, with President Recep Erdogan stating that Ukraine should take part in the negotiations and that Turkey controls the passage of ships through the Bosphorus Strait (photo), through which Russian ships pass on their way to the Black Sea, and that Turkey is also important for peace in the Middle East, where it can be a key player, and that the country is a member of NATO.
The Turkish autocrat also said that he is in favor of the full return of Ukrainian territory: “The return of Crimea to Ukraine is a requirement of international law,” a very difficult point.
The situation is fragile in Ukraine, but Russia needs to demonstrate a real interest in the desire for peace, just as it distrusts NATO, European countries fear a future advance on Europe, already a conflict area like Transnistria in Moldova.
Every war involves some kind of plunder, and the interest is in Ukraine’s rare lands.
Trump has also expressed imperialist interests in Greenland and even territories in Mexico and Canada. Remember that a large part of New Mexico and nearby states once belonged to Mexico (Texas, California and parts of neighboring states). The Guadalupe-Hidalgo agreement of 1848 established the new American border, after several wars following the annexation of Texas in 1821.
It is necessary to establish the rights of peoples and many international treaties already speak of respect for borders and respect for national laws, interferences are always conflictual, we must also remember the stateless peoples (the Kurds and the Palestinians, but there are others).
A new world of solidarity requires a new vision of borders, where emigration is not a crime and each people can live in its own territory and exploit it commercially without wars.
