For us in Europe, there are 3 options:
Option 1: Fight Putin
Option 2: Live under his boot
Option 3: Live in his behind
If you choose none of the above it equals Option 2.
Rest of the #FreeWorld: Replace Putin's name with the autocrat who gets to your country first.

A deeply reported piece on Maga-meddling in the UK. What remains unexplored are the real levels of popular support for the various strands of the UK hard-right. Research in Germany points to worringly high levels of support for authoritarianism-what's the UK equivalent? Sth for a follow-up piece?

It’s reassuring to see that the Union has capable and principled politicians like her — leaders who call things by their name, saying that a chair is a chair and a table is a table. And who have the courage to state the truth: that Putin is a warmonger and a war criminal.

Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, on Europe in an era of strongmen | The Economist Insider
Kaja Kallas’s uncompromising stances on Russia and China have ruffled feathers in some European capitals. But “Europe’s new iron lady” remains unfazed. In the first episode of Inside Geopolitics David Rennie, our geopolitics editor, talks to the diplomat about how Europe has been changed by the war in Ukraine, whether to believe Vladimir Putin’s stated ambitions and why Donald Trump’s America is better than Europe at turning economic power into geopolitical clout.
Ms Kallas is the vice-president of the European Commission and served as Estonia’s first female prime minister from 2021 to 2024.

Strong interview by @dsorennie.bsky.social on Europe's survival in a world of strongmen. Frank on China ("key enabler in Ukraine") and likewise (!) on EU member states (without unity EU's growing toolkit has little worth). The partnership-strategy invites more probing-e.g. what's in it for others?

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.
Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.
The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

Republicans not wasting any time to spread the narratives about a Muslim/migrant/minority takeover after the Mamdani win as I predicted.
Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Cutting off food assistance for 40 million Americans four days before the election, while you simultaneously throw a lavish Gatsby party for your friends, will probably go down as one of the worst moves the GOP has ever made.
