Roberto de Mattei) Over the past century — after the two world conflicts of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 — wars, revolutions and social upheavals of all kinds have accompanied the history of humanity, confirming the dramatic scenario that Our Lady foretold in Fatima in 1917 if the world were to continue offending God with its sins.
Pope Francis has spoken repeatedly of a "piecemeal world war" in describing this global turbulence, but it cannot be denied that, between the Russian aggression against Ukraine on 22 February 2022 and that of Hamas against Israel on 7 October 2023, the flames of a new conflagration have flared up violently and are engulfing the eastern borders of Europe, from the Baltic to the Red Sea. Onward from there, in the Far East, communist China casts its threatening shadow on the international horizon. It is natural that Europe should turn its gaze westward towards the United States, which appears to be the only world power capable of offering it military protection. Yet, until the inauguration of Joe Biden’s successor in the White House, in January 2025, America is living in a situation of extreme weakness. Moreover, between the two candidates for the presidency, Harris and Trump, and above all between their voters, a polarisation has been created that raises the possibility of severe tensions within the American colossus.
