Skal man stå sammen i en krisetid, kræver det, at de politiske ledere handler fremfor tomme slogans. Vælgerne gider ikke flere søforklaringer, men kræver handling. Den militære sårbarhed har længe været tydelig. Lyt til podcast fra januar 2025. insightview.eu/macro_articl...

De seneste dronekrænkelser i DK rejser spm, om Forsvaret, Politiet og Trafikstyrelsen har en effektiv ansvarsfordeling. Hvad blev der af et DK overvågningssystem for droner? Tænkes der tilstrækkeligt utraditionelt: hvordan opdager vi et fjendtligt fragtskib med 200 bevæbnede droner i lasten?

Yes, it has long rung hollow when VP JD Vance lectures European countries about freedom of speech. Senator Joe McCarthy suffered a harsh fate. Trump’s lawyer, Roy Cohn, was, incidentally, chief counsel for Senator Joseph McCarthy during the heyday of the McCarthy hearings www.ft.com/content/54be...

Vice President JD Vance’s positive stance towards the far-right party in Germany results in the AfD leader’s visit to the White House. www.politico.eu/article/top-...

Yup.

Insightview has talked with Mark Medish. We discuss the consequences of Donald Trump’s foreign policy, which, in many respects, treats traditional allies worse than those who were once regarded as America’s enemies. insightview.eu/macro_articl...

The White House after the latest jobs report: “Get rid of the new BLS chief – fire somebody, anybody…” www.cnbc.com/2025/09/05/j...

The United States has become an unreliable counterpart for allies and adversaries, to the benefit of autocrats who strive to remain in power until they are 150 years old. A Democratic Party victory in 2028 will not change that. Good luck to the rest of the world. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

President Trump naïvely wanted to separate frenemies China and Russia. Instead, the White House has alienated friends and allies. The United States risks ending up being Home Alone. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good to hear Trump criticism from Wall Street – though it remains an exception, since investors and companies have opted for the coward’s strategy, as in the 1930s www.ft.com/content/b86b...

The “great businessman” in the White House continues to Make China Great Again. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Political developments in the United States usually reach Europe one to two years later. Trump does not want ‘dangerous’ offshore wind farms. Food for thought: AfD is once again in the lead in Germany. www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1902...

China has experienced massive expansion. Yet Beijing has not had the courage to protect its allies and supply chains in, for example, the Middle East. The problem is corruption, a “Russian-style" organisation, and internal power struggles in the military. www.foreignaffairs.com/china/why-xi...

What is the difference between China and the United States? Unfortunately, it is becoming smaller and smaller – and in the United States, there is very little visible opposition. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Insightview has talked to Mark Medish about US politics. Mark is a lawyer and policy consultant with extensive experience in government and international affairs. During the Clinton Administration, he served at the White House as Special Assistant to the President www.insightview.eu/macro_articl...

With the sacking of the BLS chief, Donald Trump has effectively crowned himself the King of Statistics. In that light, the U.S. might as well issue vast quantities of inflation-linked bonds — after all, ‘inflation will always be low’ in the Land of No Credibility. www.ft.com/content/bec5...

There are many “ifs” in the analysis, but it is an excellent review of what one might expect from Artificial General Intelligence, and perhaps even Super Intelligence.

How quickly will AI be widely adopted by manufacturing companies? Insightview does not have the answer, but it continues to be surprised at how quickly it happens. See this must-read FT article written by @ranaforoohar.bsky.social: www.ft.com/content/6468...

It may sound completely off the wall – but the ideas originate from "the Philosopher Behind J.D. Vance." www.ft.com/content/ef0b...

Today, the Trump administration has one strategy (and explanation). Tomorrow, it has a completely different strategy – and explanation. The fact is that the White House has no strategy. www.ft.com/content/ad5a...

Den danske regering vil købe flere F35-fly af et “forandret USA”, som truer deres egne allierede. Europas forsvarsindustri har teknologien, men det kræver bl.a. at Danmark bidrager med flere europæisk våbenkøb www.ft.com/content/7100...

Food for thought www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/wha...

Hmm.. The Trump doctrine: 1, A clear US interest (Iran can’t have nukes); 2, Use aggressive diplomacy to solve the problem; & 3, if no. 2 does not work, use overwhelming military power - and then you get the hell out of there before it ever becomes a protracted conflict www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Is the application of withholding tax a possibility in the United States? Yes - it features in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill - and passed in the House www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The free speech advocate JD Vance criticises the EU for lacking freedom of expression. Now the Trump administration is vetting foreign students to see if they hold the “right” views. Hypocrisy is thriving. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Yes, Friedrich Merz may not be popular among German voters. That said, it is not Merz who needs to change. German voters need to change and come to terms with a “new” reality that has existed for many years. www.politico.eu/article/frie...

In this podcast, Insightview talks with André Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany, about ‌how European defence and the corporate sector are too dependent on technologies and infrastructure developed and controlled outside the continent. ‌https://insightview.eu/macro_article.php?aid=7943

The "dissidents" within the CDU/CSU and SPD believe that Friedrich Merz’s defeat marks their victory. Yet it may begin a significant shift in the political centre of gravity towards the AfD. The "Merkelists" within the CDU and the left wing of the SPD have won a Pyrrhic victory.
