I’m worried for a future where it becomes increasingly common for merchant ships to not have a flag state, meaningful insurance, and generally not abide by international laws or norms. I cannot fully grasp the implications, but it’s not good.

Fully agree. I made some of these same arguments in my official review for UK Government (Threats to Social Cohesion & Democratic Resilience 2024). This threat is insidious, is not actively being measured/assessed in Whitehall yet is contributing to democratic decline. Requires a strategic response

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

This is an excellent summary of the Trump admins pattern of appeasement in the Russo-Ukraine war. The more Europeans indulge it, the weaker they become. It has to stop.

On notera que les règles européennes n'ont semble-t-il pas été adaptées, malgré les leçons que l'on pourrait tirer de l'expérience britannique. Ce type de rigidité face à ce qui est un échec contribue à donner des arguments aux propagandistes anti-européens.

We are still sending EU residents' data in the USA, while it's obviously messed up and there is no serious control over what is happening for even some of the most sensitive US data. This is a credibility issue for both the UE Commission & the Member States, which are completely silent on the topic.

This week, the GOP slid an amendment into the budget reconciliation process that would ban US states from enacting laws that govern AI. This of course was not an aberration—it’s the direct result of Silicon Valley lobbying efforts, and big tech’s union with Trump and the Republican Party.
