Donald Trump short of allies
With his back against the wall, he has regained his memory. Confronted with China, which forced him to back down on tariffs by threatening to ban exports of rare earth elements to the United States, Donald Trump suddenly remembered that he had allies who were once referred to as “Western.”

If I were him, I would be worried
The red lights are going off in the Kremlin. Once supported by military orders, Russia's economic growth is now slowing down and seems set to reach zero. Consumer prices, meanwhile, continue to rise. Fears of inflation are keeping interest rates above 20%, a level that is obviously detrimental to investment, but that is not the most serious problem for Vladimir…

I have never heard Americans place their hopes in Europe before
When a senior official in the new American diplomatic service explained to me in his Washington office that the danger to European democracies came not from what I had called “Russian autocracy”, but from the democracies themselves — their censorship, the annulment of the Romanian elections, and the repression of their opponents — I first thought I was having a…

A new power, Europe, has won its first battle against Donald Trump
On 18 August in Washington, Donald Trump had to deal - at least for the time being - with seven European leaders and accept the idea of security guarantees for Ukraine.

The Western mote and the Russian beam

The landscape after the battle
Will this ‘12-day war’ in Iran and Israel have transformed Donald Trump? Will Netanyahu continue to govern with the far right? How have the bombings change the Iranian power dynamics?

Address by a Member of the European Parliament to the Republican Members of Congress
I know it is not easy. By distancing yourself from your party, you risk incurring its wrath. With a man as resentful as Donald Trump, it is not just a risk, it is a certainty. But you no longer have a choice.
