Note sull'episodio
Episode Five looks at a moment when the international democratic order showed visible strain — not behind closed doors, but in full public view. Leaders from Canada, France, and other allies openly pushed back against the United States, signaling that the old rules of alliance politics were no longer holding. Mark Carney warned that the world was entering a period he called a rupture, where smaller nations must stand together because “if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” France’s leadership echoed the concern, rejecting pressure tactics and insisting that respect must remain the foundation of democratic partnerships.
The episode traces how these tensions surfaced in disputes like President Trump’s proposal to buy Greenland—a move Denmark dismissed outright and one that raised deeper questions about power, sovereignty, and the stability of long‑standing alliances. Episode Five explores what happens when allies stop quietly absorbing U.S. pressure and instead confront it publicly, revealing a shifting global landscape where democratic norms are tested, and smaller nations fight to keep their seat at the table.
