DIVIDE ET IMPERA

 

If you want to rule a pack of wolves, convince half of them that they're dogs.

 


Donald Trump's strategy has emerged as an existential challenge to the architecture of the European Union and the pillars of globalization, using the Greenland issue not only as a territorial target but as the ultimate lever of economic pressure.

 

Trump aims to replace global trade rules with a series of asymmetric bilateral agreements. The goal is to "destroy" the European Union as a unified negotiating bloc. By dealing separately with nations like the United Kingdom (through the 2025 Economic Prosperity Agreement) and offering preferential terms to some EU member states, Washington aims to undermine the cohesion of the single market.

 

The "Council for Peace": Recently mentioned in Davos (January 2026), this new body proposed by Trump suggests a worldview in which stability is guaranteed by power pacts between great powers, ignoring supranational institutions like the UN or the WTO.

 

The extraordinary summit of EU leaders reiterated that Greenland's sovereignty is a "red line." However, the opening of negotiating channels on mineral rights and military cooperation suggests that Trump is gaining, if not territorial possession, then de facto control over the island's critical resources (rare earths and missile infrastructure).

 

The European Union must understand that winter is too cold for a lone wolf, while a united pack sees the eyes of its enemies hidden in the darkness of the forest.

 

The idea of ​​a Europe leaving NATO and capable of defending itself, freed from the protective umbrella of the US and equipped with a united military force, must mature as a political and military act.

 

In short, Trump's strategy is the controlled demolition of the liberal order to rebuild a system based on economic and military strength where the United States operates as a "sovereign arbiter" that grants access to its economy only in exchange for tangible geopolitical concessions.
