Em tempos geoeconómicos, as empresas não são apenas amplificadoras das prioridades dos Estados. São, usando uma terminologia que se tornou familiar para mim, multiplexadoras. (1/3)

Costa, Kallas, Starmer are all embodied indictments of European strategic thought. Unbelievable in their spinelessness, lack of self-awareness and irresponsibility. This is what hypervassalization does to a "peace project".

How the EU Botched its Trade Policy Response
Brussels has failed to get to grips with the second Trump administration. It needs to change tack and respond to Trump’s tariffs by meeting force with force.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

this is part of the reason why the Global Gateway is falling on its face even as a brand.
That has always been the point. You don’t build up production capacity because of a cheap EIB loan but because of reliable long-term demand.

great point. also raises questions about the extent to which the JRC depends on the USGS and US-based private providers to gather data on critical raw materials and potentially critical tech supply chains.
Europe faces institutional interdependence with the US not just economic. Critical for countries like Germany to increase economic security resources for intelligence/sanctions so it can have an independent capability.

Trump's bluster offers some cover, but Fink, Ogunlesi and the Apontes couldn't care less about who blurts out idiocies in DC. this is about amassing infrastructural power and making business power less about influence and more about matter.

should also prompt a debate on where and from whom to source raw materials and intermediate tech. EU and member states have limited capacity to assess supply chain security and dependencies, much less shape them.
"Sharply raising investments in local defense industry will prompt a 'make versus buy' debate. Almost two-thirds of the defense purchases by EU member states since the Russian invasion of Ukraine were from the US."
