Once again, diplomacy is advancing as a better solution than the costs and horrors of war. In Iran, where Donald Trump was convinced by his allies' vision of striking Iran. And in Greenland, where the small Kingdom of Denmark informed the American President that the Arctic island is a sovereign part of it, as the United States has recognized for a hundred years. The island's prime minister informed the White House that the people who elected him believe that it is part of Denmark, not America.
Europe quickly adopted the position of its Scandinavian partner, based on the provisions of international law and the charters of the United Nations. No one in Europe can agree to a precedent of this magnitude, because it opens the doors to the dismantling of Europe again. It is, after all, a group of warring kingdoms, duchies, and fiefdoms that knew no peace, and the diplomatic alternative only after two world wars. The difference is enormous between the two teams facing Trump: volcanic Iran in every direction, and Denmark snoozing on the seas of ice from Europe to the Pole that has no end to its frost.
Diplomatic action was invented to save humanity from the barbarity of annihilation. So that wars are the last resort. The results of both are the same in all ages, and no matter how different or developed the weapons are. How unfortunate that Iran chose from the beginning a policy of hostility everywhere. It imposed on its entire neighborhood a climate of conflict and disagreement. And it found in the "Road to Jerusalem" the pretext that the Arabs had previously raised in their conflicts, and not in the conflict with Israel.
The attempts made by Arab countries have given diplomacy another chance before the strike or explosion. Those who compared the situation in Iran with the situation in Greenland missed the biggest difference, which is geography. The Latin neighborhood is one thing, and the latent flames of the Middle East are another, and the possibilities of fire in both cases are quite real: one with limited fire, and the other that could drag half the world along with America.
