The precarious strategy of managing #Trump, rather than confronting him, looked more exposed when the president & his inner circle revived their talk of “getting” #Greenland & even floated the idea of #military action. To European ears, it sounded less like bluster than a retrograde worldview now backed by unvarnished American might: #power over process, #leverage over #law, #loyalty conditioned on utility.

It wasn’t always elegant, or dignified, but the policy of strategic acquiescence seemed to be working, *sort of*. #US arms kept flowing to #Ukraine, an all-out #trade war was averted & #Trump deigned to say some nice things about #NATO.

Then came the strikes on #Caracas, explosions that echoed in capitals around the world. Governments that spent years preaching #restraint, legality & #multilateralism found themselves scrambling for words to express unease without triggering #Trump’s fury.
