#EUCO: Europe Chickens Out?

🇵🇹 #presidenciais2026 dever cumprido!

Como sempre, excelente conversar com a @ritasiza.bsky.social do @publico.pt sobre este momento definidor para a Europa: www.publico.pt/2026/01/05/m...

A preparar o Bingo para 2026. Posso basicamente repetir o Cartão de Bingo Geopolítico para 2025 publicado na @revistasabado em janeiro passado: www.sabado.pt/opiniao/conv... Embora o objetivo não seja prever mas sim antecipar e preparar, os números 16, 31, 33, 50 andaram perto!

The world awaits the #EU’s level of concern regarding today’s events.

A nice morning run 🏃‍♂️ to keep the mind cool & fresh to deal with world events! Highly recommend

40 years of #EU membership 40 anos de adesão na #UE 🇵🇹🇪🇺 🎉

May he perish in 2026

2025 foi calmo, mas bom. Tal como 2024, tive um ano saudável, quase sem stress e com espaço para ouvir, aprender, ler, escrever e correr 🏃‍♂️ O Ano Novo será de colheita🌾 Muito obrigado e os melhores votos para 2026 a todos os que me acompanharam nesta caminhada 🫶💫🙏

Um fim de tarde na @FCGulbenkian cheio de estórias da História dos últimos 25 anos da União Europeia 🇪🇺 no Mundo contados na primeira pessoa por @valedealmeidaeu.bsky.social em conversa com Maria João Avillez e com abertura de @JMDBarroso. O livro 📕 vale muito a pena.

As events unfold this week, there is a lot to unpack and to make sense of regarding Ukraine’s future as a sovereign & independent country and Europe’s role in it. Yesterday at @SICnoticias with Daniela Melo and Teresa Dimas discussing the latest coming from Berlin and Brussels.

The last few days and the ones that follow are a test to the #EU. As first quarter of the 21st century closes, we will learn whether European leaders have the courage to take the decisions they need to take and the imagination to foresee what comes next if they don’t. Up to now the idea of…

Today, in “Brussels my Love?”, the Talk Show turned Podcast with @meabh @TeresaKuchler & @TeonaLav⬇️ Can Brussels and Washington's relationship be saved? www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

It’s been 13 years since #EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. While there is a lot at stake today, many of our difficulties arise from inaction & division, not action & common purpose. No time to continue dragging our feet, starting by making sure Ukraine remains independent & sovereign country.

I agree; excellent analysis of the NSS’s many flaws; it is the kind of document that gives realism a bad name.

@nilsgilman.bsky.social take on US NSS is well worth your time. “The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS), the document you have thrown down on the table like a gauntlet, is a masterpiece of political rhetoric — and a catastrophic failure of strategic foresight.” open.substack.com/pub/nilsgilm...

Cleaning documents, I found this note that was handed to me (can’t remember by whom) over a dinner during #ESPAS2017 #GlobalTrends conference. In this age of #EU doom & gloom it’s a good reminder of potential & possibility of the European project. #Foresight is a call to action.

Great to team up with @leo81.bsky.social for our first contribution to @eliamep.bsky.social. Can Europe Seize the Opportunity to Strengthen Its Strategic Capabilities? – ELIAMEP’s experts share their views #ESPAS25 #EUForesight #StrategicForesight #ElenaLazarou www.eliamep.gr/en/can-europ...

The responsibility for what happens next in Ukraine in coming days & weeks lies in the people sitting around this table. Russia’s aggression to Ukraine is first & foremost a European problem. If we want a place at the other table, we need to have clear goals & a credible plan.

Beyond slow action or even inaction, what may eventually doom Europe are the levels of pessimism, self-doubt & flagellation that I witness almost on a daily basis in my work or interactions. It is paralysing. After arrogance we are basically sabotaging ourselves. Realism about

the current difficulties should not equate to pessimism but rather lead to action. We just need to look around and see how others facing more stringent & demanding environments remain hopeful and keep fighting to better their odds. Ukraine & Ukrainians are an example to emulate.

The so called “peace plan” collapses already in point 3 (ignoring the drafting of point 2, of course!): “It is expected that Russia will not invade neighbouring countries…” Excuse me? Is this the guarantee that Moscow will not invade Ukraine again or any other county?
