« Think about what lines you will cross and that you will not cross. They are not as obvious, perhaps, as a line on a map, or a line of trenches at the front. But we [the US] cannot pretend that they are not there. And if we cross them, we will no longer be ourselves ». Prof.Timothy Snyder

Inevitably it was Macron who arranged today’s summit. His strengths lie on the international stage/the big picture. Ifs & buts about Brexit are pointless but I can’t help thinking that in fairly recent history, London would’ve taken the lead. Can Starmer step up? Imagine statesmanship from Badenoch!

In this 131st long-read on my strategy blog, I wonder if we are not witnessing the end of transatlanticism. I'm afraid that we will have to face this new, potentially lasting reality without illusions. A vital challenge for Europe that begins in Ukraine. tenzerstrategics.substack.com/p/reassessin...

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Ouch ! « There was no question of criticizing the US president's obvious disdain for Europe and the British in particular (despite the UK's allegedly "special" relationship with the United States) »

Sickening betrayal in process from a 🇺🇸’s thug, a bully and coward in chief. “Without any genuine US security guarantees, Russia will violate any new peace "deal", as it did during 2014-2022 when its forces killed thousands of Ukrainians in the war in the east”

History so often repeats. This from the 1950s (Keep America Committee - far-right, anti-Semitic, Christian fanatics) could be spouted by the current crop of US leaders. Pessimistic view: it’s needed 70 plus years but they’ve succeeded. Optimistic view: they’ve been seen off before and will be again.

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

I spoke to a Wolves 🟠 fan at Molineux yesterday. Told me he'd paid £939 for his season ticket, £100+ more than last season despite selling their best players. His mate pays £200+ less to watch #LFC 🔴 on the Kop at Anfield. #WWFC have lost 6 of 8 home PL games this season, LFC have won 6 of their 8.

We’ve always found people here in France like the British & are very welcoming, but are not keen to get involved with the UK politically again. “Across the EU…45% of Germans said they wanted closer relations with the UK, as well as 44% of Poles, 41% of Spaniards, 40% of Italians and 34% of French.”
