Hungary’s illiberal governance became a model for Trump, argues Dahrendorf scholar Chaya Steinsaltz. She examines how Orbán’s “enemy” politics, autocratic legalism, and civilisational rhetoric were adapted by the new U.S. authorities. Read paper here ➡️ www.sant.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/u...

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-...

9 years ago today, a narrow majority of Brits voted for #Brexit. Even bigger than economic cost is that to Britain's soft power, international clout & sense of strategic direction. How can you be a 'bridge' with no firm foundations on either the EU or (now) the US river bank?
