This chap is right but his chart is out of date. The international system has been fraying for years. The wars in Ethiopia, Sudan and now DRC have barely registered in the rich world but they've been extraordinarily bloody

The thing about the big systems like the F-35 is this: smaller countries were buying them not because they were objectively much better than the competition, but because it bought goodwill in DC (or so they thought). There was a diplomatic premium. Good luck charging that now

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...

Of course, small consumer choices like this won't change fact that Europe is totally dependent on US and Asia for tech. We don't make chips, we don't make phones, and our societies would grind to a halt without Microsoft Windows. Deeper changes are needed www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/our-proje...

The proliferation of relatively cheap military-grade combat drones has allowed many African states to acquire a capability for precise air strikes they previously lacked. Is this changing the balance of power between states & insurgents in African conflicts? www.megatrends-afrika.de/publikation/...

Tunisia has forcefully descended into a new dictatorship, staging mass trials of political prisoners that echo Ben Ali's kangaroo courts of the 1990s. Kais Saied's rule by fiat makes a mockery of Tunisia's democratic decade (2011-21). And a great many people are being crushed under its wheels.
