While #Trump attacks the liberal world order, powerful voices representing this world order make clear statements in Davos:

Macron, VonDerLeyen, Carney!

„We prefer science to conspiracy theories, rule of law to rule of force, dialogue to threats.

Nous préférons la ...science au complotisme, l’État de droit à la loi du plus fort, le dialogue aux menaces.“

(Emmanuel Macron 🇫🇷🇪🇺)

„Geopolitical shocks can - and must - be an opportunity for Europe.

The seismic shift underway makes it both possible & necessary to build a new European independence.

From security to the economy.
From defence to democracy.

Europe is gathering speed“

(Ursula von der Leyen 🇪🇺)

„We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false... We knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused and the victim. This fiction was useful [because of the goods provided by American hegemony]... So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.“

(Mark Carney 🇨🇦)

Trump wants to impose additional punitive tariffs of 10% to 25% on European countries that show a military presence in Greenland 🇬🇱. Enough is enough!
The EU 🇪🇺 must respond strongly now!

Die EU 🇪🇺 muss jetzt eine starke Reaktion geben!

„This time there should be a strong EU response.

Anti-coercion measures.

Visa bans for US citizens / Congressmen pushing to annex 🇩🇰🇪🇺 territory.“

At the moment, the world is once again reverting to imperial thinking, while Europe continues to cling to a form of nationalism that is almost religiously celebrated. Our power is not declining because we are poor, but because we are divided. Greenland illustrates this particularly clearly. It ...shows us unmistakably why it is a bad idea to depend on the United States when it comes to matters of defense.
Europe currently negotiates like a committee. As a result, European states often manage to agree only on what cannot be done, instead of jointly deciding what must be done next. A union with 27 vetoes is not a union, it is a committee. Committees are suited to drafting rules, not to providing strategic direction.
That is why abolishing the veto right is essential if Europe is to become strategically capable, finally speak with one voice, and shape its own future. We therefore call for a federal Europe that is effective in a changed world.

Im Moment verfällt die Welt erneut in imperiales Denken, während Europa weiterhin einen beinahe religiös zelebrierten Nationalismus pflegt. Unsere Macht schwindet nicht, weil wir arm, sondern weil wir gespalten sind. Grönland zeigt dies besonders eindrucksvoll. Anhand dessen erleben wir sehr deutlich, warum es eine schlechte Idee ist, in Fragen der Verteidigung von den USA abhängig zu sein. Europa verhandelt zurzeit wie ein Ausschuss. Das führt dazu, dass sich die europäischen Staaten oft nur darauf einigen können, was nicht geht, anstatt gemeinsam zu entscheiden, was als Nächstes getan werden muss. Eine Union mit 27 Vetos ist keine Union, sie ist ein Ausschuss. Ausschüsse eignen sich für Regeln, nicht für strategische Ausrichtungen. Deshalb ist die Abschaffung des Vetorechts essenziell, damit Europa strategisch handlungsfähig wird, endlich mit einer Stimme spricht und seine Zukunft selbst gestaltet. Daher fordern wir ein föderales Europa, das in einer veränderten Welt wirksam ist.

It is good that military units from various European countries are now supporting Greenland's freedom 🇬🇱🗽 on the ground.

The big players 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 only take you seriously if you think and act big.

Gut, dass aus verschiedenen europäischen ...Ländern militärische Einheiten nun die Freiheit von Grönland 🇬🇱🗽vor Ort unterstützen.

Die Großen 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 nehmen einen nur ernst, wenn man groß denkt und handelt.

„What can Europe do to deter America from seizing Greenland?

Regardless of whether the US threat is real or will ever materialize, Europeans must prepare themselves by:

1. Making the U.S. aware of the implications of seizing Greenland:

- End of NATO as we know it
- Every NATO ally becomes a potential annexation target
- Arctic militarization with Russia and China on steroids
- EU, not DK alien, reclaims the territory through Greenland accession

2. Preparing a deterrent package, by threatening to:

- Suspend U.S. trade deals
- Coordinate sell-off of U.S. debt holdings
- Create conditions for Greenlanders to determine what they want (independence, enhanced autonomy, or EU membership)
- Invoke EU mutual defense clause preemptively (Article 42.7 TEU)

Only this would signal that any threat to Greenland is a threat to all EU members, triggering collective defense obligations

If Europe can get its act together, it can stand up to Trump well beyond Greenland 🇬🇱“
