The new NNational Security Strategy made public by the White House does not merely record a strategic rupture; it materializes the worst nightmare of European chancelleries: the cold and calculated betrayal of their historic ally.

Donald Trump’s America is not simply withdrawing from Europe; it is establishing a mafia-like logic of state racketeering, demanding that its vassals continue to play the cash cow to the tune of 5% of their GDP, while stripping them of any real security guarantee. In doing so, the occupant of the White House fulfills beyond all expectations the wishes of Vladimir Putin, his new de facto partner, with whom he now intends to carve up the international order to transform geopolitics into a vast money-making machine, free from all legality and morality.

Between two staged scenes of a presidency transformed into a reality TV studio and grotesque talking points about his alleged concern for « saving lives, » Trump insults the intelligence of the free world. If he dreams of recognition, let him be content with a football trophy invented for his ego, for the only title he truly deserves—the Nobel Prize for Betrayal—unfortunately does not exist. The only unknown now remains the backbone of the U.S. Congress: will it have the courage to stop this madness, or will it choose, as in 1919 by rejecting the Treaty of Versailles, to roll over shamefully, thus paving the road to a new global conflagration that would bring misery to humanity?

Faced with this moral shipwreck, History now waits to see which European leader will finally have the courage to stand up and say no to this buffoon who, in his narcissistic delusion, takes himself for America’s savior when he is nothing but a caricature of it.
