Aghast liberal. Brit in Italy. War bore.

Very interesting analysis. One caveat: European states need to be careful about cutting spending on domestic priorities to increase defence and intelligence spending - it will be counterproductive if angry electorates start electing pro-Kremlin populists as a result.

Wow. This is precisely the question I have been turning over. Decent people like Starmer want to have hope. I do. But now, I fear O'Brien is right. Hope Is A Bad Thing, Maybe The Worst Of Things open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
