DAVOS 2026: THE END OF THE WESTERN ILLUSION
BY: Lyes Mihoubi

The chill at Davos went deeper than the weather this year; it froze the geopolitical status quo. Participants in the World Economic Forum descended from the “Magic Mountain” with a clinical diagnosis: The West—that monolithic bloc inherited from 1945, welded together by history and shared values—is dead.
What transpired in the plush salons of the Swiss resort was more than mere diplomatic friction. It was a tectonic shift. A brutal divorce, consummated in plain view of the world.
The Atlantic Has Become a Chasm
The myth of the “Transatlantic Family” lies in ruins. For decades, Brussels and Ottawa lulled themselves with the illusion of an eternal, unbreakable alliance with Washington. Davos 2026 shattered that naïveté.
The American delegation arrived not to negotiate, but to dictate. The message was unequivocal: America no longer has allies; it has only interests. Protectionism is no longer a crisis measure; it is the new standard operating procedure. Washington signaled to its historic “partners” that access to the U.S. market and critical technologies is now strictly conditional on blind political alignment.
For Europeans and Canadians, the awakening is violent. They are realizing they are no longer the Empire’s privileged cousins, but vassals on borrowed time, forced to pick a side or face commercial oblivion.
Privatized Security: The Return of the Protectorate
The point of no return bears a bureaucratic name for a terrifying reality: the new “Initiative for Peace and Security.” Behind this acronym lies the unceremonious burial of the UN and NATO as we knew them.
The United States is imposing a new, transactional security architecture that bypasses all international frameworks. The rule is simple: “You buy American, you vote American, and we guarantee your survival.” This marks the end of automatic solidarity. The nuclear umbrella has become a paid subscription—a life insurance policy with variable terms.
While the old democracies hesitate before this blackmail, others have rushed into the breach with suspicious haste. We witnessed the spectacle of fragile regimes—notably monarchies like Morocco—scrambling to be the first signatories. For these states, the equation is cynical: sell off sovereignty to secure Washington’s blessing and guarantee the throne’s survival. This is nothing less than a modern form of protectorate. In exchange for voluntary servitude, these nations surrender their independent voice to become mere regional subcontractors.
The End of the Moral Masquerade
The collapse is moral, as well. Europe, which has long wielded Human Rights and ecology as instruments of influence—or even interference—now stares into a broken mirror.
While Brussels clumsily attempts to maintain the fiction of a virtuous diplomacy, the United States has torn off the mask. At Davos, Realpolitik won by a knockout. Climate? An economic variable. Values? A luxury from a bygone era.
Europeans find themselves isolated not by their virtue, but by their impotence. They preach in the desert, watching the American juggernaut steam away toward a massive, polluting reindustrialization designed to crush all competition, unburdened by ethics.
Welcome to the “Jungle”
What is the lesson of this historic summit? That the global order is no longer governed by Law, but by predation.
For the “Global South” and middle powers, the reality is stark: there is no longer a “Camp of Good.” There is only a market of power. Europe, paralyzed by its own decline, will be forced to beg for new alliances to survive. The United States, meanwhile, retreats into an aggressive fortress.
Davos 2026 marks the official entry into the era of “Every man for himself.” The world of yesterday lies buried in the Swiss snow. The world of tomorrow will be cold, hard, and merciless to the naive.
