My conversation with @gideonrachman.bsky.social about the European crisis – And how to get out of it open.spotify.com/episode/4Isz...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This is an excellent discussion by @fromtga.bsky.social about the trilogy-storm that Europe now faces: Russia’s aggression, right-wing populism in US (and Europe itself) and China’s dominance in new industries (ev, ai, clean energy, etc) podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/t...

Before Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, it is worth recalling the article by @fromtga.bsky.social: "For the foreseeable future Europe will face a revanchist Russia determined to regain effective control over as much of its former empire as it can" timothygartonash.substack.com/p/the-fight-...

"Pero Orwell también nos insta a decir siempre lo que vemos, incluso aunque —no, especialmente aunque— resulte incómodo para los nuestros. Esa es la doble prueba que deben superar los periodistas: verlo y decirlo." Por @fromtga.bsky.social elpais.com/opinion/2025...
