The era of international law has ended in the sky above Iran
Why lament the fact that the Islamist dictator fell at the hands of America, even Trump's America? Because the law of the strongest is now promoted by both the White House and the Kremlin.

Nothing is more dangerous than a cornered Trump
Some will conclude that the Supreme Court has just demonstrated the strength of American democracy and its checks and balances. They will say that there was no reason to despair of the United States and even less reason to bury the Atlantic Alliance, since it is clear that Trump will ultimately have been nothing more […]

Bazooka, and then a smile
This time, Donald Trump sent his Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Munich, a man polite enough to say that the United States was Europe's child, that it wanted Europe to be strong and wanted to ‘revitalise’ the Atlantic Alliance rather than break it up. But why had the American president changed tack?

That America is no longer our ally
That America is no longer our ally. Whether temporary or lasting, it is now our adversary, and we must say so because we can no longer allow the values we once shared to be debased, nor can we delay in organizing the countries that want to resist this step backwards.

Trump’s follies, Europe’s strength
Sending European troops to Greenland, even if only symbolic, carries much more weight than is being said. It means that we would be prepared to defend, with arms in hand, the sovereignty of this European country against any attempt at annexation by force.

The four reasons for their hostility
Why are we their only target? Why does Donald Trump's United States believe, in its presentation of its National Security Strategy, that it must ‘cultivate resistance' to 'Europe's current trajectory’ even though it says it wants to repudiate all American ‘interventionism’ from the Cold War and post-communism?

Mr President, you cannot win the battle with China without your allies
Freedom needs an international front of democracies against the alliance of Moscow and Beijing.

Donald Trump short of allies
With his back against the wall, he has regained his memory. Confronted with China, which forced him to back down on tariffs by threatening to ban exports of rare earth elements to the United States, Donald Trump suddenly remembered that he had allies who were once referred to as “Western.”

If I were him, I would be worried
The red lights are going off in the Kremlin. Once supported by military orders, Russia's economic growth is now slowing down and seems set to reach zero. Consumer prices, meanwhile, continue to rise. Fears of inflation are keeping interest rates above 20%, a level that is obviously detrimental to investment, but that is not the most serious problem for Vladimir…

Trump backtracking
America will soon need friends to stand up to China. Donald Trump is learning to understand that Europe, which he detests, is simply indispensable.
