A mitologia das "terras raras" tem uma longa história atrás de nós. Copio trecho das memórias de Roberto Campos, Lanterna na Popa, sobre os mesmos mitos ao início dos anos 1960:
Temas de relações internacionais, de política externa e de diplomacia brasileira, com ênfase em políticas econômicas, viagens, livros e cultura em geral. Um quilombo de resistência intelectual em defesa da racionalidade, da inteligência e das liberdades democráticas. Ver também minha página: www.pralmeida.net (em construção).

Teorias conspiratórias sobre a nova ordem mundial - Wikipedia
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blindsides Trump by forming a super alliance of 40 powerful countries to defeat his disastrous MAGA agenda
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blindsides Trump by forming a super alliance of 40 powerful countries to defeat his disastrous MAGA agenda
Carney has become one of Trump's most brilliant adversaries...
According to Politico, the European Union, composed of 27 nations, as well as a geopolitical bloc of 12 Indo-Pacific countries, have begun negotiations to form one of the largest economic alliances in the entire world. This historic pivot comes as Trump continues to wage erratic tariff wars on close allies, turning the once-stable United States into a deeply unreliable partner.
The talks are being led by Canada and will be the fruit of Carney's vision of a world in which the so-called "middle powers" unite to undermine Trump's tariffs and make themselves immune to his bullying coercion.
If successful — and it certainly appears to be heading in that direction — the supply chains of countries as far off as Canada, Malaysia, and Germany could be intwined into one super supply chain.
“The work is definitely coming along,” a Canadian government official said to POLITICO. “We’ve had very fruitful discussions on it with other partners around the world.”
“We see a lot of value in increasing trade among the EU and [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] parties, which would also contribute to enhancing supply chain resilience,” stated a Japanese trade official.
Last month, Carney gave an astonishing speech at the Davos World Economic Forum during which he announced the end of American dominance, stating that the "bargain no longer" works for the rest of the world. American hegemony once offered benefits, now it offers only chaos.
"Let me be direct, we are in the midst of a rupture not a transition," Carney said during that speech. "Over the past two decades a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid the bare risks of extreme global integration."
"But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons," he said, referring to Trump. "Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructures as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."
He predicted that allied nations would "diversify to hedge against uncertainty" and "rebuild sovereignty" and that's exactly what's happening with this nascent trade alliance. Carney said that the deal will "create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people."
Left out in the cold would be the American people, who will be forced to stand by as the citizens of other nations enjoy easier, cheaper access to reliable goods. Trump has made us a world pariah, and the price will be shouldered by your wallet.
“We hope that if that’s a success, if you can see tangible benefits in different areas, that could also entice other countries to join in and team up in a positive sense,” said Klemens Kober, the Director of Trade Policy, EU Customs, Transatlantic Relations at the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce.
“So the more the merrier," Kober added.
This is what happens when you elect an ignorant conman and give him unilateral power over foreign policy. Trump and his MAGA sycophants thought that the rest of the world would simply roll over as America proceeded to pillage and ransack their coffers. Instead, they'e banding together to completely shatter the balance of power forever.

A conformação do mundo futuro: algumas coisas ainda não resolvidas
Paulo Roberto de Almeida
Revista Será? ANOXIV, n. 696, 13/02/2026
No seu artigo, Paulo Roberto de Almeida oferece uma leitura densa e inquietante da atual desordem internacional, comparando o presente a momentos críticos do século XX sem cair em paralelos fáceis.
Ao examinar a atuação errática das grandes potências e o papel ambíguo das potências médias, o autor revela um mundo sem estratégia clara, em que pequenas disfunções podem gerar grandes rupturas. Uma reflexão lúcida sobre incerteza, poder e os riscos de um futuro ainda em aberto.

Dúvida existencial sobre as eleições de outubro de 2026 no Brasil - Paulo Roberto de Almeida
Dúvida existencial:
E quem não está de acordo com nenhum dos candidatos sendo oferecidos como “lava mais limpo” nas eleições presidenciais e gerais de outubro de 2026 no Brasil, faz o quê?
Descarta todos e oferece um outro nome, mais palatável e mais conforme às necessidades do povo e do país?
E existe esse outro nome, essa pessoa, esse personagem politico?
Deve existir, em alguma parte do Brasil.
Vamos descobrir, escolher, apoiar?
Senador americano Mark Kelly na Conferência de Munique sobre Segurança Internacional
Observations From The Munich Security Conference - Senator Mark Kelly
It took a World War and eight decades to build the strongest alliance that this world had ever seen. It took less than a year to practically destroy it. When Secretary Rubio said the “old world order was dead” during his speech in Munich he was right. It’s dead because Donald Trump blew it up.
It wasn’t perfect, and there were opportunities missed to improve it, but Donald Trump only knows how to break things, not fix them.
He thinks this somehow benefits us. He is wrong. Our allies no longer trust us. It was obvious in the more than a dozen meetings I had with Presidents, Prime Ministers and Defense and Foreign Ministers. And if you’re Denmark and Greenland, a “loss of trust” is a generous characterization of our new relationship. China is now more popular in Denmark than the United States. In Poland, the U.S. is 21 percent less popular than it used to be.
This means these countries are looking elsewhere for trade and security — that makes you poorer and less safe.
It will be incredibly hard to build what comes next, but we have to figure out a better path forward. Make no mistake, China is rising. Our ability to keep up with them and prevent a conflict depends on trusted, reliable alliances. So does ending the war in Ukraine in a way that keeps Putin from moving on to his next target. And so does growing our economy and protecting American workers in the age of AI.
I know there was celebration at the end of the Munich Security Conference. Unfortunately the champagne corks were popping in Beijing and Moscow.
