If Robert Fico thought he could deter pro-Ukrainian, pro-EU and anti-Putin Slovaks from demonstrating with talk of a shadowy plot to bring about a coup d'etat ... well once again he seems to have failed.

Really looking forward to the Prague launch of @bctallis.bsky.social's new book + discussion with Tomáš Kopečný.
Ben is one of our most clear-headed thinkers on the Ukraine war & and Europe's security.
Tomáš is one of the driving forces behind the Czech ammunition initiative.

Approaching events in Syria with my usual (and possibly naive/over-optimistic) view that what's bad for Putin can only be good for Ukraine/humanity/us. We'll see I guess.

I’ve travelled. I’ve eaten Inca corn in the Andes and Xiao Long Bao in Shanghai. I’ve had shawarma in Doha and htipiti in Greece. And Italian. Lots and lots of Italian. Including in Italy.
So: lasagna. Most boring dish in the world. Frozen from M&S or fresh in Turin: Boring.
Change my mind.
