And peace doesn’t come from fantasy flags.

What if breaking up Russia led not to peace, but to chaos?
Borders aren’t just lines — they contain history, tension, and survival.
Rethinking sovereignty is one thing. Playing cartography roulette is another.

Greenland is at a crossroads: independence or integration into U.S. expansionism? The Inuit fight to preserve their culture, but global powers see only resources to exploit. A clash of worldviews—tradition vs. imperialism, being vs. having. Can Greenland resist?

The EU is arming itself—at what cost? €800 billion for rearmament, yet no public debate, no parliamentary approval. Instead of sovereignty, Europe deepens its dependence on the US. Is this the future we want?

Coalition of the Willing: A European Defense Mirage?
Macron revives the “coalition of the willing” to reinforce Europe’s military autonomy. But with no institutional framework and heavy reliance on US logistics, is this just NATO 2.0? Europe needs sovereignty, not fragmented, improvised alliances. Is this defense—or submission?

Macron, Nuclear Deterrence & Europe: Strategy or Illusion?
Macron proposes integrating France’s nuclear deterrence into Europe’s security. But can a national nuclear force really serve as a collective shield? With Germany opposing a nuclear stance, and no unified command, is this just about positioning France as a military leader? Europe risks militarization without strategy.

The False Promise of Military Security
Europe is investing €800 billion in defense, but is this truly making us safer?
History shows that militarization often creates more instability—fueling arms races, reinforcing geopolitical tensions, and diverting resources from climate resilience, economic stability, and social security.
Real security isn’t just about weapons—it’s about ensuring a society can thrive.
Should we rethink security beyond military spending?
"800 billion for war, and for the rest?"
The EU has just approved a military budget of 800 billion. Meanwhile, the budget for health, education and ecological transition is struggling to keep up...
War or prosperity? The question is no longer economic, but philosophical.
