Good piece by @thomasfazi.bsky.social on Europe's arms buildup. The EU has gone from being the world capital of austerity during the euro crisis to the world capital of bellicosity now.

What occurred in Romania is a harbinger of things to come elsewhere. Elites no longer limit themselves to manipulating public opinion and electoral processes but are increasingly willing to discard the formal structures of democracy altogether.

New article out on the pathetic response of European leaders to Trump’s Ukraine policy. After sacrificing their own interests to US hegemony, they are now posturing as the last defenders of the very policies that rendered them irrelevant in the first place.

EU elites can’t reconcile reality with their own Ukraine narratives. This cognitive dissonance is leading them to make increasingly irrational and delusional claims, as when they emphasise the need to prepare for an all-out war with Russia.

Latest piece of mine at @unherd.com just out on why the only way to truly tackle the EU’s economic challenges is to recognise that the core issue is the EU itself. A radical revision of intra-European collaboration is needed. Feedback welcome!
