We find ourselves at a crossroads where the old maps have burned, yet the new terrain remains unchartered. If Nietzsche was right that the "International Order" has died, we must not respond with the despair of the nihilist, but with the courage of the creator.
The solution to our current paralysis—from the battlefields of Ukraine to the halls of the United Nations—requires a multidimensional mastery. We must embrace the Clausewitzian resolve to defend our "Center of Gravity" through European defense autonomy, ensuring that the "Will to Power" of the aggressor meets a wall of reality. Yet, we must also apply the subtlety of Sun Tzu, using the EU-Mercosur and other agreements not merely as a trade pact, but as"Golden Bridges" and a strategic shifts in momentum that isolates aggression by making it economically and diplomatically irrelevant.
As we gather in Davos, our "Spirit of Dialogue" must be tempered by Gandhi’s insistence on moral truth, reminding us that an order without justice for the Global South is but a house of cards. Simultaneously, we must adopt the fluidity of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, recognizing that a rigid Europe will break, but a resilient, yielding, and interconnected Europe will endure.
The signature in Asunción yesterday is our definitive answer to the darkness. It proves that even in a world of "political nihilism," we can still choose to build.
We Europeans are not merely mourning a dead order; we are participating in the laborious, painful, yet hopeful birth of a new one—a world where the law of the strongest is finally superseded by the strength of the law and the wisdom of the flow.
