NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

What's more, speaking English well is a skill that many natives lack, too. Ever tried talking to a Scottish taxi driver? But picking on people without voting rights and a strong lobby is easier, I suppose.

Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sehr wichtiger Punkt: Europa kann und muss die Ukraine mehr unterstützen. Wie die tschechische Munitionsinitiative bereits gezeigt hat, können kreative Lösungen gefunden werden. Und wenn die Militärgüter aus den USA gekauft werden, dann verbessert das sogar die US Handelsbilanz.
