In the third decade of the 21st century, the global geopolitical landscape has shifted with a violent suddenness that few predicted, forcing a historic re-evaluation of Germany’s role on the world stage. Long described as a “reluctant hegemon” or a “civilian power,” Germany is currently undergoing a Zeitenwende—a historic turning point. Driven by a volatile cocktail of Russian expansionism to the East and an increasingly transactional, unpredictable United States to the West, the “sleeping giant” of Europe is finally waking up.

The Price of Domination: A Call for a Sovereign Global Authority

The history of civilization is, tragically, a history of the strong asserting will over the weak. However, as we move through 2026, the archaic impulse to dominate “the other” has evolved from a moral failure into a global existential threat. The domination of one people by another—whether through territorial annexation, prolonged military occupation, or systemic genocide—does more than destroy individual lives; it fractures the delicate machinery of the global economy and destabilizes the very foundation of international law. To survive this century, the world must transition from a collection of competing interests into a unified community governed by a United Nations empowered with true sovereignty, including the independent power to tax and the authority to maintain its own standing military.

The Custodian of Sovereignty: Why the UN Must Decide the Fate of Greenland

In early 2026, the international community finds itself at a geopolitical crossroads. While President Trump has recently stepped back from threats of military force to acquire Greenland, the pivot toward “economic pressure”—including the weaponization of tariffs and coercive diplomacy—presents an equally grave challenge to global stability. To prevent the erosion of national sovereignty and the return of colonial-era land acquisitions, the United Nations (UN) must assert itself as the primary arbiter of Greenland’s fate. Furthermore, to safeguard the global economy from unilateral aggression, the power to regulate tariffs must be transferred from individual nations to the UN, establishing the organization as a “giant” capable of protecting the weak from the whims of the powerful.

The concept of a “European Century” has moved from a theoretical academic debate to a central geopolitical question in 2026. As the United States adopts an increasingly isolationist and transactional “America First” posture, the European Union (EU) finds itself at a historical crossroads.

Whether the EU can replace the US as the world’s foremost superpower depends on how it manages three distinct pillars: economic leverage, military independence, and ethical leadership.
