Here and there I hear opinions that now is the time for transactional politics and the Concert of Great Powers. Those who think that everything can be bought should also remember that in this philosophy everyone can be sold.
The Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat marked that a new concept, “Global North”, was trending behind the scenes at the #MSC2026 It consists of the Nordics, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Poland and the Baltic countries. Broadly speaking, the Global North are the…
Vance shouts and Rubio whispers, but the message is almost identical: Europe is on its own. We cannot base our security on the current mood in the White House. Relying too much on the US is criminal negligence
My feeling from Munich is that there is still a meaningful gap among European allies on how far the transatlantic alliance is terminally ill v salvageable with more aggressive burden sharing. Rupture v transition.
The ‘world order’ didn’t collapse because Russia invaded Ukraine. It collapsed because the free world chose not to stop them. By refusing to use our wealth & power to defend even a European democracy, we showed dictators everywhere that aggression pays. That was the death blow.…
The most important thing about Rubio's speech, though, is that it's completely irrelevant as a guide to Trump administration policy.
Rubio’s speech at Munich was a massive free dose of fentanyl to an addict desperate not to get clean. And it worked. Europe is full of suckers.
A change of tone. Rubio brought a lot of white paint to Munich to cover the cracks caused by the great rupture. From the Beatles and Michelangelo to German beer and the common victory in the Cold War, he invoked all the symbols of culture that are meant to unite us into a single…
In Return of the Pink Panther (1975), Catherine Schell couldn’t get through multiple takes of Peter Sellers doing a Bogart impression without breaking into uncontrollable laughter. In the end. Blake Edwards gave up and left it in the final cut. "Here is lurking at you, kid.” 🤣
Formally, no one forces smaller states to join the “core.” But let’s be honest about power asymmetries. In Europe, we already have powers that operate at a European scale. If they truly believe in their political visions, they possess far more persuasive tools than smaller…
Nobody forces the smaller states to join the core. Some may be better off not to. What @ischinger outlines is an agenda for middle powers to join forces to become major powers capable of seeing eye to eye with other major powers. There again, they may or may not buy the idea.

The Lithuanian parliament has received a letter from Israel’s Knesset urging lawmakers to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, but Speaker Juozas Olekas has declined to sign it, the Seimas chancellery told LRT lrt.lt/en/news-in-eng…
mom has something she needs to get off her chest
The fact that Vladimir Putin appears in the Epstein files roughly 1,000 times, without being accused as a predator himself, strongly suggests intelligence collection for blackmail purposes. If that is the case, then the Epstein matter is not just a criminal scandal but an…
Kallas will not disappear in 29. i predict she will be around longer than Peskov!
Visi ļoti labi punkti par to, kas šobrīd Eiropai un Kanādai pietrūkst militārajā jomā, lai spētu darboties paststāvīgi
Rutte is fundamentally correct, but mostly in three specific ways Europe+Canada must address. 1) SEAD/DEAD. European Airpower would make short work of Russia, but right now Europe would struggle mightily against Russian AD. Europe needs to develop the enablers to do SEAD/DEAD.
USA Arctic paratrooper unit seems to have been training for a year to take Greenland. "In January 2025, the division carried out two major exercises with a single objective: to simulate the seizure of a strategic airport in an Arctic nation under intense local resistance,…
Jaunā ASV aizsardzības stratēģija atzīst Krievijas draudus kaimiņvalstīm, uzsver eiropiešu atbildību par savu drošību pret Krieviju un atgādina, ka ASV atbalsts Eiropai būs mazāks nekā līdz šim. Kā mūsu valdība plāno mainīt savu ārpolitisko un drošības stratēģiju šajos apstākļos?
