"Canadian Prime Minster Mark Carney delivered one of the most inspiring and eloquent speeches of last week's Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland. Before the planet's business and political elite, the 60-year-old politician attested to a rupture in the world order and the beginning of a harsh reality, where geopolitics, where the large, main power, geopolitics, is submitted to no limits, no constraints. Let me be direct."
"The middle powers must act together, because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu, he said. Numerous attendees, world leaders and high-level executives rose to their feet to applaud Carney's speech an unusual sight at this kind of forum the discourse having been a 2,324-word text of which he was the sole author, as Canadian media has proudly reported."
Mark Carney attested to a rupture in the world order and warned that geopolitics now operates without limits or constraints. He described a harsh new reality in which large powers can act unchecked and urged mid-sized countries to forge alliances to resist subjugation. He insisted that middle powers must act together because if they are not at the table they risk becoming the menu. Numerous attendees, world leaders and executives rose to their feet to applaud. The day after the remarks, the U.S. president reinforced threats against Europe and confirmed an intention to annex Greenland.
