The Keys to Awakening
Beyond the historical observation, we stand before a two-way mirror: that of our own renunciation. The decryption of this « foretold disaster » reveals that the crisis we are experiencing is not a mere zone of economic turbulence, but a failure of political will. The fundamental issue is the reclamation of national destiny. Can we still claim European security without sovereignty of thought? The answer is no. As the Gaullist vision emphasized, a nation that delegates its defense and its culture inevitably ends up delegating its existence.

The true challenge of tomorrow is the fight against the atrophy of the strategic State. Between the hammer of globalization and the anvil of technological dependencies, the space for free decision-making is shrinking. This decryption invites us to identify the levers of an awakening: the restoration of the authority of intelligence and the refusal of followership. To project ourselves forward is not to hope for a return to the past, but to understand that the laws of geopolitics are immutable: only the strong are respected, only the independent are heard.

Current events provide cruel proof: the dismal results of the Brussels summit this week underline, once again, the inability of Europeans to agree on true strategic autonomy. Between budgetary deadlocks and divisions over flagship defense projects, Europe seems condemned to remain a mere spectator of its own security. One question is paramount: will the Europe of tomorrow be a simple transit zone under influence, or will it once again become an actor in History? Twilight is but a prelude to night if no one watches to rekindle the fires of intellectual resistance. — European-Security
