Trump 2.0 must become aware of the threat that the UK poses to its plans and respond accordingly to defend the US’ interests. Russia’s Foreign Spy Service (SVR) accused the UK of trying to sabotage the nascent Russian–US “New Détente” for self-interested geopolitical reasons. According to their sources, the success of their talks could break the […]
Ursula von der Leyen’s geopolitical Commission seems to be losing even the smallest amounts of geopolitical clout it had before the turmoil of the 2020s. The current perception dominating Brussels is that Europe is executing a noble mission of defending “European principles” against authoritarian powers, namely the US, Russia and […]
We live in dangerous times, and politicians are happy to be cheerleaders of that supposed fact.

The EU swiftly responded to Trump’s decision to freeze all military aid to Ukraine by having European Commission President Ursula […]
The idea was to keep NATO – and what is NATO, it’s the United States – off of Russia’s border – no more, no less. Renowned American economist Jeffrey Sachs delivered a frank address to the European Parliament, in which he harshly criticized the US actions to unleash the conflict […]
The urge to throw more money at defence budgets across a number of countries has become infectious. It was bound to happen with Donald Trump’s return to the White House, given his previous insistence that US allies do more to fatten their own armies rather than rely on the largesse of […]
