It’s been a week of power plays and redrawn lines. In Davos, President Trump declared victory in the escalating row over Greenland, announcing a framework deal he says delivers “everything we wanted, total security.” The White House hails it as classic Art of the Deal brinkmanship — critics warn it’s come at the cost of the old world order, a charge echoed by Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney.
It’s also been the week the Board of Peace became a formal international body. Born with UN backing to help end the Gaza war, it’s now been recast with a global mission to “resolve conflicts and secure peace” — under a structure that grants Donald Trump lifelong chairmanship, billion-dollar membership fees, and an open invitation to Vladimir Putin, prompting Europe to keep its distance.
And in Syria, the map has shifted again. A ceasefire between the interim government and Kurdish forces follows fierce fighting, heavy territorial losses for the Kurds, and the escape of Islamic State detainees — reviving a familiar Kurdish refrain: no friends but the mountains.
