🟢Trump is threatening to pull the US out of NATO. But you don't need to leave an alliance to make it ineffective. For Europe, the conclusion is unavoidable: alone, if necessary. Our latest newsletter ✉️👉 96701.seu2.cleverreach.com/m/16996900/ @boell.de @rkefferputz.bsky.social

Trump publicly talks about considering to pull the US out of NATO. It‘s clearly a wakeup call for Europeans to quickly get organized on security and defence! Read and spread our new @boell.de study on how the Europeans could strengthen their own security arrangements in a European pillar of NATO.👇

🟢 Russia's war & Trump's policy reversal have shaken European security. Europeans agree: it's time to build a stronger European pillar in #NATO. A new böll.paper by Leonard Schütte unpacks what that would actually take 👉 eu.boell.org/en/2026/03/1... @boell.de @georgmcc.bsky.social

💡 When the Iberian Peninsula went dark in April 2025, renewables were instantly blamed, but the real cause was a voltage surge and grid failures, not solar or wind. This piece from @boelleu.bsky.social explores how blackout scares are turned into anti‑climate disinformation. buff.ly/NkWLnDs

The Greens will be hoping Starmer's successor is popular enough to keep the left in power – but not so popular that they can win a general election outright. My take on the turmoil, for @boelleu.bsky.social eu.boell.org/en/2026/02/0...

🟢 With Starmer fighting for his political life and Labour increasingly unpopular, tactical voters may back Greens to keep Reform out. Under Zack Polanski, the party has surged. A left coalition?
