Donald Trump’s Board of Peace overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza was always going to raise a host of niggling questions. From the outset, the US President made it clear he would be the helmsman of what was essentially an outfit of selected corporate overseers tilling the soil for The Donald’s […]
Donald Trump’s recent intervention in Venezuela and renewed musings about acquiring Greenland are not isolated blips of erratic behaviour. They are emblematic of a deliberate worldview in which power is exercised unilaterally, international rules are optional, and alliances exist only as long as they serve immediate interests. For Europe, these […]
For decades, Germany has been regarded in Washington as one of America’s most important partners in Europe: a political heavyweight within the European Union, a global export powerhouse, and a key ally in NATO. But does that assessment still hold true in today’s United States, shaped once again by the […]
Part I Since 2021, the EU has had a comprehensive Arctic strategy. In 2024 it opened a permanent office in Greenland, underlining that Brussels sees the island not as a remote appendage but as a strategic partner.

International law likes to speak about principles, but it prefers silence when those principles are violated by the very power that claims authorship over them. The recent episode involving Venezuela has become yet another illustration of this long-standing reality: in a world governed by the “rule of the strong,” norms […]
Minnesota is escalating its legal battle against the Trump administration following the fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, a tragedy that has ignited protests across the state and the nation. On Monday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced a federal lawsuit aimed at halting […]
The Trump administration’s mania about Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark, is something to behold. Its untutored thuggery, its brash assertiveness, and the increasingly strident threats to either use force, bully Denmark into a sale of the island, or simply annex the territory, have officials and commentators scrambling for theories […]
The protests unfolding in Iran have triggered a familiar cycle of headlines, speculation, and political projection in Western media.
