The 2026 defense model is clear: A "Two-Speed Europe" built on symbiosis, not competition.

Paris and Berlin have finally accepted their distinct niches:
⚔️ 🇫🇷 The Strategic Sword – Deterrence & Will.
⚙️ 🇩🇪 The Industrial Hub – Logistics & Scale.

The rest of Europe now integrates into both parallel tracks simultaneously. We aren't waiting for consensus; we are building capacity.

The EU–India breakthrough is historic — and intentional. Ursula von der Leyen and PM Narendra Modi aligned on trade, technology, supply chains, and climate with rare clarity. This isn’t transactional diplomacy; it’s strategic trust. Modi’s India is treated as a true peer. Europe gains strength by choosing partnership over dependency. Power through cooperation. 🇪🇺🇮🇳

In short: gold gives Poland strategic optionality. It can enter the euro strong — or stay outside without being vulnerable. Gold is geopolitical insurance in monetary form.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at World Economic Forum in Davos

At Davos, Mark Carney warns the rules-based order has ruptured, urges middle powers to stop pretending, build shared resilience, and wield values-based realism to confront great-power coercion.

Europe remains dangerously reliant on American arms.

Defence spending is rising, but strategic autonomy is years away.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) puts the cost of replacing the American non-nuclear capabilities assigned to NATO at $226bn-344bn for new weapon systems platforms alone.

Think about it: promoting car-centric suburban sprawl and detached single-family housing to the people of a hostile nation would be surprisingly effective. Suburban sprawl spreads out more housing over more m² of road, all of which need to be maintained with a hefty bill at the taxpayer's expense. That's also true about utilities infrastructure also getting spread thin. That tax money could have instead gone towards investments in #Defense and #StrategicAutonomy.

⚠️ Europe must chart its own strategic course
Blindly following the US into escalating conflicts increases risk not security
Strategic autonomy is not anti American
It is about risk reduction diplomatic flexibility and survival
History shows that those who adapt early endure longer

French senator Claude Malhuret delivers an unprecedented analysis of the transatlantic rift. Faced with threats of annexation of Greenland, he describes Trumpism as “inconsistent” and “techno-fascism.”

The European Commission’s plan to phase out telecom equipment from high-risk countries is a necessary step to protect Europe’s critical infrastructure.

Europe already has strong and reliable domestic telecom suppliers. There is no security rationale for dependency.

Risk assessments must be consistent: the US should be evaluated by the same criteria as China — based on control, law, and strategic dependency, not alliance politics.
