The Collaborationists

March 23, 2026 marks a watershed date in the history of European integration. The Washington Post revelations confirm what analysts and diplomats had suspected for years: Viktor Orbán's Hungarian government has systematically transferred to the Kremlin classified information discussed in European Union Councils, turning Moscow into an invisible participant at the continent's decision-making tables. We are not facing a diplomatic exception, but the actions of a genuine collaborationist – the most dangerous Europe has known since the end of the Second World War.

The letter sent by the President of the United States to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre represents an unprecedented document in the history of Western diplomacy: a head of state who explicitly conditions his commitment to peace on not receiving a prize, confusing independent institutions with national governments and threatening NATO allies with punitive tariffs. Meanwhile, a structured network of European leaders and parties systematically aligns with Trumpian narratives, undermining the cohesion of the European Union from within.

The extraordinary simplicity of Donald Trump's language, which quantitative analyses place at the level of a ten-year-old child, is not a cultural defect but a strategic weapon. Through syntactic fragmentation, rejection of expertise, and systematic use of verbal violence, Trump has built a communicative model that demolishes the foundations of rational democratic discourse.
