Πῶς οἱ ἡγεσίες ὁμιλοῦν πρὸς τοὺς λαοὺς ὡς ἐὰν μὴ σκέπτωνται.
Ἕνα ἀπὸ τὰ πλέον ἀνησυχητικὰ φαινόμενα τῆς συγχρόνου Εὐρώπης δὲν εἶναι ἡ ὕπαρξις ἐξωτερικῶν κινδύνων, ἀλλὰ ὁ τρόπος μὲ τὸν ὁποῖον αἱ ἴδιαι αἱ πολιτικαὶ ἡγεσίες ἀπευθύνονται πρὸς τοὺς λαούς των. Ὄχι ὡς πρὸς ὥριμους πολίτας μὲ κρίσιν καὶ μνήμην, ἀλλὰ ὡς πρὸς πληθυσμοὺς ποὺ ὀφείλουν νὰ πεισθοῦν διὰ ἀπλουστευτικῶν σχημάτων καὶ κατασκευασμένων φόβων.
Ἡ πολιτικὴ γλῶσσα τῶν τελευταίων ἐτῶν δὲν ἐπιδιώκει τὴν ἐξήγησιν· ἐπιδιώκει τὴν συμμόρφωσιν. Κάθε στρατηγικὴ ἀποτυχία, κάθε κοινωνικὴ ἀστάθεια, κάθε ἀδιέξοδο παρουσιάζεται ὡς ἀποτέλεσμα ἑνὸς μόνιμου ἐξωτερικοῦ ἐχθροῦ. Ἡ πραγματικότης δὲν ἀναλύεται· μεταπλάσσεται εἰς ἀφήγημα.
Ἐντός αὐτοῦ τοῦ πλαισίου, ἡ ὑπόθεσις τῆς Γροιλανδίας δὲν ἀποτελεῖ μίαν ἁπλῶς ἄστοχον δήλωσιν. Ἀποτελεῖ ἀπόδειξιν. Μία περιοχή ἡ ὁποία ἀνήκει εἰς τὸ Βασίλειον τῆς Δανίας καὶ εὑρίσκεται ἤδη ἐντὸς τοῦ νατοϊκοῦ πλαισίου ἀσφαλείας, παρουσιάζεται αἰφνιδίως ὡς χώρος ὁ ὁποῖος «χρειάζεται προστασίαν» ἀπὸ ἀόριστον καὶ ἀτεκμηρίωτον κίνδυνον. Οὐδεμία ἀπόδειξις, οὐδεμία τεκμηρίωσις, οὐδεμία πραγματικὴ ἀπειλή.
Ἐδῶ ἀκριβῶς ἀποκαλύπτεται τὸ φιάσκο. Ἡ Γροιλανδία δὲν ἀποκαλύπτει ἕναν κίνδυνον· ἀποκαλύπτει ἕνα μηχανισμόν διακυβερνήσεως. Ἕνα σύστημα ἐντός τοῦ ὁποίου οἱ λαοὶ δὲν καλούνται νὰ σκεφθοῦν, ἀλλὰ νὰ ἀποδεχθοῦν ψευδῆ διλήμματα: ἀσφάλεια ἢ χάος, πειθαρχία ἢ κίνδυνος, σιωπὴ ἢ ἐνοχή.
Μέσω αὐτῆς τῆς πολιτικῆς, ἡ Εὐρώπη δὲν κατεσκεύασε μόνον ἕναν ψεύτικον ἐχθρόν· κατέστρεψε τὴν ἴδιαν της τὴν γεωπολιτικὴν ἰσορροπίαν. Ἐπὶ δεκαετίες, ὅχι ὡς ἴση δύναμις ἀλλὰ ὡς χώρος ἰσορροπίας, ἡ Εὐρώπη ἐκινείτο μεταξὺ δύο πυλώνων: Ρωσίας καὶ Ἀμερικῆς. Ἡ πρόσφατος ἐπιλογὴ τῆς ἀπολύτου ῥήξεως καὶ τῆς ἠθικοποιημένης ἀντιπαραθέσεως ἀκύρωσε αὐτὴν τὴν δυνατότητα.
Τὸ ἀποτέλεσμα εἶναι ἡ Εὐρώπη νὰ παραμείνῃ μὲ ἕναν μόνον πυλῶνα στηρίξεως. Ὄχι ὡς ἰσότιμος σύμμαχος, ἀλλὰ ὡς πλήρως ἐξαρτημένος χώρος, χωρὶς ἐναλλακτικὰς, χωρὶς στρατηγικὴν αὐτονομίαν. Καὶ ὅταν μία δύναμις γνωρίζει ὅτι ὁ ἑταῖρός της δὲν δύναται νὰ ἀντισταθῇ, δὲν τὸν σέβεται· τὸν διαχειρίζεται.
Ἡ Γροιλανδία ἀποδεικνύει ὅτι τὰ διλήμματα ποὺ ἐπεβλήθησαν τοῖς λαοῖς ἦσαν ψευδῆ. Δὲν ὁδήγησαν εἰς ἰσχυροτέραν Εὐρώπην, ἀλλὰ εἰς μίαν ἤπειρον ἡ ὁποία γνωρίζει πλέον ὅτι, ἐὰν χαθῇ καὶ ὁ τελευταῖος πυλὼν στηρίξεως, δὲν διαθέτει ἔσωθεν δύναμιν ἀντιστάσεως.
Αὐτὸ δὲν εἶναι στρατηγική.
Εἶναι παραίτησις ἀπὸ τὴν ἴδιαν τὴν λογικὴν τῆς κυριαρχίας.
Καὶ ὅταν ἡ ἐξουσία παύῃ νὰ ὁμιλῇ μὲ ἀλήθειαν, οἱ κοινωνίαι δὲν ἐξεγείρονται. Ἀπλῶς παύουν νὰ πιστεύουν. Καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ σιωπηλὴ ἀποξένωσις εἶναι πάντοτε πιὸ ἐπικίνδυνος ἀπὸ κάθε ἐξωτερικὴν ἀπειλήν.
When Greenland Exposes the Fiasco.
How Leaders Speak to Peoples as If They Cannot Think.
One of the most troubling realities of contemporary Europe is not the existence of external threats, but the way political leadership addresses its own societies. Citizens are no longer treated as mature political actors with memory and judgment, but as populations to be guided through simplified narratives and manufactured fears.
Political language today does not seek explanation; it seeks compliance. Strategic failures, social instability, and political dead ends are consistently attributed to a permanent external enemy. Reality is not examined—it is reshaped into narrative.
Within this framework, the case of Greenland is not merely an unfortunate statement. It is proof. A territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark and already embedded within NATO’s security framework was suddenly presented as needing “protection” from a vague and unsubstantiated threat. No evidence was offered. No imminent danger was demonstrated.
Here lies the fiasco. Greenland does not reveal a threat; it reveals a governing method. A system in which societies are not invited to think, but to accept false dilemmas: security or chaos, obedience or danger, silence or guilt.
Through this policy, Europe did not merely construct a fictional enemy; it destroyed its own strategic balance. For decades, not as an equal power but as a space of equilibrium, Europe operated between two pillars: Russia and the United States. The recent choice of absolute rupture and moralized confrontation dismantled this framework.
The result is a Europe left with only one pillar of support. Not as an equal ally, but as a fully dependent entity, without alternatives and without strategic autonomy. And when a dominant power realizes that its partner cannot resist, it does not respect it—it manages it.
Greenland proves that the dilemmas imposed on European societies were false. They did not lead to a stronger Europe, but to a continent now aware that, should even this final pillar weaken, it lacks any internal capacity to stand on its own.
This is not strategy.
It is the abandonment of sovereignty itself.
And when authority ceases to speak with truth, societies do not revolt. They simply stop believing. That silent alienation is always more dangerous than any external threat.
