Pope Francis is right about the need to “raise the white flag” and negotiate for an end to the war in Ukraine, says Vittorio Feltri to Fuori dal coro. The editorial director of Il Giornale spoke on the Wednesday 13 March episode of the program hosted by Mario Giordano on Rete 4. “I’m not a believer and I’m not Catholic, so I don’t stand by the Pope as such – states Feltri – but in this circumstance Francis told the pure truth, because it is much better to raise the white flag than to have fifty funerals a day that will continue for years if we don’t decide to sit down at a table to negotiate.”

The director then thunders against the French president Emmanuel Macron on a possible NATO intervention in the conflict: “Macron has lost his mind”, if “we were to do something similar it is clear that we will unleash Russia, which is full of atomic bombs while we are full of fear.” So what to do? The only solution is to deal with Vladimir Putin. “When there is a war you can’t do anything but deal with the enemy”, and “if they want to stop killing each other like idiots they have to sit down at a table and stop it by finding a compromise that can, I won’t say, satisfy both but not displease both “.

In short, the director remarks, “the Pope is right, well done Francis: everyone has to give up something”. “I hear people say that you don’t negotiate with those who have the atomic weapon, but for 40 years the USA and the USSR which had atomic weapons have negotiated”, recalls Feltri, “it is much better to talk to someone who has the atomic bomb rather than the bomb atomica will take it to your head if you continue to act like an idiot”, concludes Giordano’s guest.
