Gorbachev and Trump

Letter to The i Paper From W Moszczynski, 3 Isambard Court, Paddlers Avenue, Brentford Taw8 8FP, tel 07786471833.

Dear Editor, On reading Anne McElvoy's piece " Washington-Moscow reset begins" 18/02/25. I reflected on the unexpected comparison behind the potential destiny of Mihail Gorbachev and Donald Trump. One was the unexpected catalyst for the dismemberment of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, even though that was not his intention. The latter could well be the catalyst for the dismemberment of NATO and the EU though that was not necessarily his intention either. The difference was that the collapse of the Soviet bloc was a blow for freedom, while the latter's destructive efforts could lead to the extinguishing of freedom. Yours faithfully Wiktor Moszczynski
