"Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe" (OSCE) 57 countries)

History and current events are by far more complex than many intellectuals assume.

I wonder how many are aware of the dynamics now taking place within this association of 57 Western States?

I doubt Emmanuel Kant had a vision of these intermediary organizations between the Hegelian state and a World Government. It is somewhat ironic to me that the German Hegel, the philosophic successor to Kant, came out with the modern notion of the State while modern Germany was merely germinating as Prussia, and Austro-Hungary was pretending to be Germany and the true successor to the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. And their was (Putin's) Russia biting its time as the Third Jerusalem. Putin, most do not understand, sees the Soviet Union, consciously or not, in that context regarding the Russian Federation. It is the largest country in the world by landmass and covers 10 (/) time zones. It is Putin, also, who is the true "Christian" (or so he sees himself. I say this here because if and Israeli partial vision is explored in this article one might as well interject the partial Russian vision which, in fact, is currently altering the paradigm by which Western Europe will see itself in the context of Putin annexing 20% of Ukraine's (Russian-speaking) Sovereign land. That forces a paradigmatic revision of the so-called "occupied Palestinian (Israeli) land by the principles of so-called "apartheid." In brief, International Law and Order is a European, and Biden, dream. We do have the distinction of de jure and de facto. I believe all of Europe, except for Belarus and the Russian part are about to change their numerous paradigms, and in particular, the anti-Semitic, the anti-Zionist, and the anti-Israel ones. Putin just annexed to the Russian Federation the four (4) former Oblasts (Provinces) of Ukraine. And he did it "democratically" - the people there "voted" individually in a Referendum. As Putin more or less says, incidentally, Russia is a Legalistic Dictatorship, so Putin is merely implementing the Will of the Russian People. Does anyone see this as similar to Hitler's will over the German Nation? Is this not Russian Apartheid? No. Because, according to Putin, the Ukrainians are really, deep down, Russians, even if they do not see it so and let a Jew (Zelensky) lead them instead of him.
