In 2023, when he was still just a senator, JD Vance wrote an article in Wall Street Journal With a very explicit title: "Trump's best foreign policy? Don't start new wars." Vance justified his support for Trump's candidacy by saying he was convinced that Trump wouldn't send "Americans to fight across the seas." The New York tycoon was the only Republican candidate who criticized the Iraq War in the 2016 primaries, and during the 2014 campaign, he embraced isolationism to the point that at the beginning of his term, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize following the agreement to halt the war. Therefore, the decision to attack Iran has caused a rift within the MAGA movement, and highly influential voices like that of Tucker Carlson have expressed clear opposition.

The Danish government has summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen for consultations on Wednesday following reports suggesting secret US operations in Greenland. According to an investigation by public broadcaster DR, at least three US citizens were allegedly involved in activities to promote the secession of the Arctic territory, with the ultimate goal of its becoming part of the United States.

The United States' fixation on Greenland has both Nuuk and Copenhagen on high alert. This week, a new cause for concern emerged: a trip by US Vice President JD Vance to the Arctic island, which is being interpreted as further pressure being exerted by Donald Trump, who insists on the need to take control of this autonomous territory from Denmark.

To stop a trap, you need a lure, a stimulus that makes the prey jump on it. Sometimes it's a pleasant element that makes it fall on all fours, other times it's hunting dogs that push it into an open area where it's within range. Vice President JD Vance was the provocateur who pushed Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky into Donald Trump's sights. at the catastrophic meeting in the Oval Office. Vance had no trouble embracing his role as a bulldog given his stance against NATO and Ukraine. The president's deputy, who seemed doomed to irrelevance under the shadow of Elon Musk, found a way to secure a prominent position in the new administration.

A recent survey warns that 59% of the Catalan population feels democracy is threatened, mainly by the fake news, the rise of the far right and economic inequalities. This fear, which is entirely well-founded, has been heightened by the arrival of a "new sheriff" in Washington: Donald Trump, an apprentice dictator (or absolute monarch) who does not hesitate to tweet – on an account on the X network that has more than 100 million "followers" – that "He who saves his country does not rape. His co-pilot, Elon Musk – who has more than twice as many followers – has hammered home the point by saying that "democracy" is that the president can do whatever he wants. This makes many wonder, despite the substantial differences between the two historical moments, about the parallels that the situation today presents with that of the 1930s.

"Have you already thanked him, Mr. Zelensky?" the vice president of the United States asked the president of Ukraine a few days ago. Some say that gratitude is an emotion, others argue that it is a virtue, and there are even those who propose that it is a moral sentiment. But, in any case, for all of them, expressing gratitude is a good practice both for the reasons that drive us to do so and for its effects.

"Have you said thank you yet, Mr. Zelensky?" the vice president of the United States asked the president of Ukraine a few days ago. Some say that gratitude is an emotion, others argue that it is a virtue, and there are even those who propose that it is a moral sentiment. But, in any case, for all of them, expressing gratitude is a good practice both for the reasons that drive us to do so and for its effects.

It took longer than expected, but the worst fears about Donald Trump's position on Ukraine have finally come true. Analysts agree that the call the US president made to Vladimir Putin on Wednesday has completely reversed the policies that the allies had had until now and, consequently, has given the Russian leader the victory he had long hoped for. Trump bought his arguments, and even before sitting down at the negotiating table he had already announced that Ukraine would not join NATO and that the borders before 2014 would not return. To what extent Ukraine would be forced to cede territory is not clear, but experts are also clear that Russia will want to keep everything.

US Vice President JD Vance boos European allies in a monumental way The Munich Security Conference. Without mentioning Ukraine once, in a speech lasting just over twenty minutes, Vance insisted on Friday that the continent cannot abuse its trust in NATO, cannot talk about democracy "without living according to its basic principles" or moving away from its fundamental values, and cannot "trample" on freedom of expression. Vance, in fact, assured that Europe is more in danger from "internal threats", but that it is only concerned about external ones.

US Vice President JD Vance has taken Europe by the lapels and pinned it against a wall this Friday. In a speech in Munich, he said: "If you go into elections afraid of your own voters, America can do nothing for you." Fear of your own voters means fear of speaking clearly about immigration, inclusion policies, feminism, the environment. The message is a political and intellectual challenge to the complacent two-party system that has governed the EU and that now claims, with a helplessness that is more hypocritical than sincere, that the hatred that grows on its right provides electoral benefits.
