The EU enlargement project is one of the most important ways to project strength. We must not allow external forces like Trump or Putin to dictate its timelines and conditions, and we must say that loud and clear.
EU enlargement is the most successful geostrategic tool we have to shape our environment.

We are enlarging the zone of security, stability, and prosperity.

It is not about helping others, it is about helping ourselves. — @vseviov.bsky.social, Secretary General @mfaestonia.bsky.social

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Amerikaner sagen den Europäern, "tut mehr für eure eigene Sicherheit!" - bei der MSC ein uralter Hut. Doch diesmal ist es anders: Wir brauchen ein geordnetes Verfahren für die Europäisierung der NATO, weil durch ungeordnete Rückzüge der Amerikaner sonst die Gefahren steigen.

House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:

"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

Miosga-Redaktion nennt die AfD eine "Partei mit umstrittenen Positionen". Das ist der Stand 2026: Die Normalisierung ist so weit fortgeschritten, dass Rechtsextremismus im ÖRR als "umstritten" bezeichnet wird. Und nicht etwa als etwas, das Demokrat*innen entschieden ablehnen und bekämpfen müssen.
Die "Caren #Miosga"- Redaktion hat mir schnell geantwortet. Bin nun umso mehr irritiert: #Rechtsextremismus darf für Demokrat:innen niemals "umstritten" sein, sondern ist selbstverständlich mit klarer Haltung abzulehnen. Egal in wie vielen Parlamenten Rechtsextremist:innen sitzen. #noAfD #ARD

Phillips OBrien argues that older European politicians and diplomats are unable to see and act upon the new realities, because it would require to admit that their lifelong transatlantic political and diplomatic and careers have utterly failed.
Just sent out this free piece. For two weeks now we have heard senior European policy makers speak lies. Europe cannot defend itself without the USA, the USA under Trump it committed to NATO, Europe is too weak. It is a generation of failure justifying its mistakes. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Of course Europe can defend itself, indeed it should.

You could make a similar argument for how many foreign policy scholars and analysts in the UK and EU are responding to the damage the Trump administration is doing to the structural foundations of America's global power status
My point is that they've become so inured to Trump's corrosive effect on institutions and norms, and so invested in defending their prior rejection of more far-sighted critics' claims, that they shrug off things that under any other circumstances they'd see as existential threats to US democracy.

I think at least part of the elite's weak response to Trump II is due to the notion that as bad as things are, they're not as bad as they could be. And in a sense that's true, even if a lot is unknown to us.

But 20 yrs ago, GWB's attempt to politicize US attorney appointments caused a 5-alarm fire.

Also could everyone stop comparing the loss rate of UK Prime Ministers with Italian politics? Despite all its many problems, since 2015 the Italian political scene has been a paragon of stability compared to the chaos enveloping the UK.

To those “Americans” attacking the US athletes who are criticizing ICE and the Trump administration, all I have to say is this.
It is unAmerican to sit by meekly as the USA is being decimated by a group of corrupt incompetents, who are shooting US citizens. Deal with it.
