And existentially so for Taiwan. Europe is probably in a better place than most. But the UK needs to be back in the EU ASAP.

And the answers depend on a narcissistic, sociopath, who appears to be in steep cognitive decline, and is unchecked by the guardrails of the US constitution. Have a good weekend everyone.

Today, Xi has to consider whether America's Taiwan Relations Act
- which commits the US to opposing the use of force against the island - still means something. Putin must make a similar calculation about Nato's Article Five - which commits all 32
alliance members to defend each other. Is it still an ironclad commitment - or just another "scrap of paper?"
These are the questions on which the peace of the world may depend.

In sum, Europe needs a plan to resist a Russian attack without the US, or with minimal US support, at the sub-conventional, conventional and nuclear level.

Includes how critical British newspaper reporting corrected military mistakes and led to an Allied victory, but the mistakes get remembered, whereas Ru ignorance led to a defeat remembered as glory, terrible treatment of Ru infantry & Ru surrender without losing a major battle or going bankrupt.

The EU will find a way. But the UK is a diminished player in our own continent by not being in that room.

The decline of Newsnight, at a time when we need detailed and decent investigative and foreign reporting more than ever, is so depressing. Marshall is more than an ex singer. He’s Paul Marshall’s son - of GB News, Unherd, Speccie - & is on ARC Forum advisory board

The wind may be changing direction in ltaly. Two major takeaways from this week's Youtrend Supermedia poll: 1️⃣ "Futuro Nazionale" drops half a point in two weeks, allowing Forza Italia to overtake them. 2️⃣ "South calling North" (don't ask...) at 1.1% & officially enters the center-right coalition! 🇮🇹🗳️

The new Magyar government is ruthlessly dismantling the Mathias Corvinus Collegium, the far right organisation Orban nationalised, stuffed with money and state assets to spend on propaganda & 3rd rate Western nutjobs, then privatised in a complex way in a failed attempt to save it. This is the way.

Good mil-mil relations are imo a big problem, in that they're a siren call that things are ok when it's Trump that calls the shots, and the hard work of the individuals involved could be better spent on getting European militaries ready to stand alone.

Good mil-mil relations are both leading Europe astray and wasting manpower that could be used on getting independent.

Maybe we should be giving more than the same £3bn we gave in 2022, which is worth considerably less after inflation.

It may not have wanted Ukraine in NATO but it could have agreed terms with Putin in 21 that left other members out in the cold or done less to help Ukraine get ready, or actively undermined it. Which, I hate to say it, was I think where you were in 21.

For me, as a socialist and an Eastern European, March 11 is the day of the liberation of my people from a foreign oppressor we neither wanted nor deserved. The only road to socialism I am willing to walk has it as a milestone. If I am asked to reject it, I am out, full stop.

It's not possible to separate one's views on modern Russia from one's views on the USSR because in many ways they are in fact indeed still the same thing. You cannot understand why Ukraine wants to leave their orbit if you cannot understand what they did to us.
