Bratislava 2023 = Munich 1938?
29th September 2023
Slovakia goes to the polls this weekend in an election that The New York Times warns us could be a victory for the “far right” in Europe—and even a harbinger for the return of “fascism.” Why? Because Robert Fico, the right-wing politician who has a good chance of returning to power, is a critic of NATO’s strategy on the Ukraine war. It used to be said that with Washington’s neoconservatives, it is always Munich 1938. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, it has become true of the liberals too.
