È diventato un vizio: ogni volta che Putin si trova in difficoltà, alza la posta. Questo perché nonostante il tradimento di Trump nei confronti dell'Ucraina e dell'Europa, Kyiv, con il sostegno europeo, non solo resiste ma sta mettendo in difficoltà Mosca. Oggi su La Stampa

Pace o Guerra in Medio Oriente? Il dilemma amlético di Trump rimane irrisolto. Trump non fa pace con se stesso perché si è cacciato in un buco nero in cui la scelta è tra il male e il peggio. E non sa come uscirne. Oggi su La Stampa

Our latest "Power & Purpose" welcomes @verajourova.bsky.social, who talks with @nathalietocci.bsky.social and Amanda Sloat about regulating Big Tech, promoting innovation while protecting citizens’ rights, and the digital challenges facing democracies today. www.ie.edu/insights/pod...

In the #Ukraine war, the US no longer holds the cards. #Trump surrendered them when he betrayed Kyiv and the rest of #Europe. But together, Ukraine and the rest of Europe have leverage, @nathalietocci.bsky.social writes. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #Russia #Putinswar

Merkel, Draghi or others won’t be negotiating with Putin – but the rumour reflects a truth about the Ukraine war: In Kyiv, I found a mood of confidence. Ukrainians know that Russia is creaking and that Europe has their back. My latest www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Il trattamento di Israele dei manifestanti sarà considerato come “inaccettabile” dal governo italiano solo se saranno appoggiate non misure di facciata(come sanzionare Ben Gvir)ma la sospensione dell’accordo Ue-Israele e il divieto di commercio con le colonie. Oggi su La Stampa

Europeans do not need autonomy because they dislike Trump, but because it has become clear that dependence on the United States comes at an impossibly high cost,” write Matthias Matthijs and @nathalietocci.bsky.social

Grazie a Francesca Basso per questa bella intervista su @mm-corriere-bot.bsky.social sulle lezioni energetiche delle guerre in corso in Ucraina e Medio Oriente

In this eye-opening episode of Power&Purpose @verajourova.bsky.social joins Amanda and I to discuss regulating Big Tech, promoting innovation while protecting citizens’ rights podcasts.apple.com/podcast/v%C4...

Il vertice Usa-Cina ci è stato raccontato attraverso la lente di due superpotenze che dettano le sorti del mondo, con un'Europa impotente ed esclusa. È una lettura diffusa tra euroscettici dichiarati e non superficiale e fuorviante. Oggi su La Stampa

“After a year in which Europe tried to placate Trump, 2026 may become the year in which Europeans finally begin to act on the strategic autonomy they have long claimed to pursue,” write Matthias Matthijs and @nathalietocci.bsky.social.

Only a few months ago, Matthias Matthjis and I raised alarm bells about Europe falling into Trump’s trap. Finally Europeans may be finding their nerve. Only by doing so they can save Europe. Our latest piece @foreignaffairs.com www.foreignaffairs.com/europe/how-e...

Se Trump I segnò l’avvio della rivalità Usa-Cina, Trump II avrebbe dovuto sancire la supremazia Usa. Sta accadendo il contrario, come emergerà dal vertice Trump-Xi Jinping, sullo sfondo due guerre - dazi e Iran - avviate e perse da Trump. Oggi su La Stampa

Da Furia a Fallimento Epico degli Stati Uniti in Iran. Oggi su La Stampa

In this wonderful new episode of Power&Purpose, Dina Kawar, Jordan's Amb to US, joins Amanda and I to explore Middle East war, the barriers women face in diplomacy, and the mindset needed to lead under pressure. open.spotify.com/episode/2C9Q...

Trump’s latest moves on trade and troops in Europe reconfirm two simple facts: no deal with Trump is worth the paper it’s written on & no degree of bending the knee to him makes an iota of a difference (other than shredding European dignity)

Le ennesime minacce di Washington nei confronti dell’Europa, questa volta rivolte a Spagna e Regno Unito, rivelano poco sul futuro della Nato e molto, invece, sull’ideologia che ispira l’amministrazione Trump. Oggi su La Stampa

Europe is in a profound state of crisis. In this film, Anu Bradford and I assembled a group of the continent’s leading thinkers to assess the threats: their warnings are stark, but the remedy is within reach www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tra le righe delle minacce e il frenetico susseguirsi di post traspare il disperato desiderio di Trump di raggiungere un accordo con l'Iran. Eppure, sono proprio le sue parole a rendere questo obiettivo difficile da realizzare. Oggi su la Stampa

The EU had yet another opportunity to redeem itself of its moral bankruptcy on Israel. And once again it has failed to do so, with Germany and Italy predictably blocking the suspension of the EU-Israel agreement. Shame 🇮🇹 🇩🇪

🎙️New on Power & Purpose. @gabriela-ramos.bsky.social on US–Mexico relations: why pressure from Washington has limits, and why geography and deep integration make the relationship both durable and difficult to manage. Listen here: www.ie.edu/insights/pod... w/Amanda Sloat & @nathalietocci.bsky.social

In this episode of Power&Purpose Amanda & I discuss w Gabriela Ramos Mexico-US relations, the lessons Europe can draw, as well as parental expectations, professional trade-offs & the sense purpose that sustains through success&failure. open.spotify.com/episode/2A3E... i=1000762347875

I negoziati Iran-Usa sullo sfondo di una fragile tregua potrebbero fallire, protrarsi, o concludersi con un accordo. Scenari diversi con un unico denominatore: la probabile fine della (non-)Pax americana in Medio Oriente. Oggi su La Stampa

“The fact that Trump hates Europe is an ascertained fact.” Says 👤 @nathalietocci.bsky.social on growing transatlantic tensions as the U.S. weighs its future in NATO. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Will the U.S. and Europe break up? As Trump threatens to pull out of NATO amid mounting criticism of his war on Iran, @nathalietocci.bsky.social says "closeness to Trump is becoming increasingly politically toxic in Europe."

Sanchez has been right on Trump and Iran--and now Europe's conservatives, even its far right, are distancing themselves from the megalomaniac in the White House they had thought they could appease, says @nathalietocci.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The US president’s cry-wolf threats are losing their effect while European leaders are, at last, shifting from sycophancy to opposition. My latest @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tra le righe del cessate il fuoco in Medio Oriente, il fallimento strategico degli Stati Unita e il peso crescente della Cina. Oggi su la Stampa

Trump vuoto è vero sulla NATO. Oggi su La Stampa

Trump’s threats to NATO are both empty & real. Empty bc he’s been doing this for years (& threats to annex Greenland are a graver danger than anything he says now in relation to Iran). Real because there’s nothing more palpable than his disdain for Europe and what it represents

On the latest episode of “The Foreign Affairs Interview,” @nathalietocci.bsky.social and Matthias Matthijs discuss Europe’s Trump strategy—and how the continent’s leaders have begun to stand up to the United States. https://fam.ag/4rYATxB

Più Trump rimane impelagato nella trappola dell’escalation in Iran, mostrando i muscoli militari, più rapido rischia di essere il declino americano nella regione e nel mondo. Oggi su La Stampa

Absolutely delightful Power&Purpose conversation Amanda and I had with our good friend Julie Smith on NATO, trust and the ever greater importance of public service. Hope you enjoy it! Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/4uPe... Apple podcasts.apple.com/podcast/juli...

Excellent. #BBC’s James Naughtie asks, are we in a global war? What are links between+effects of #Ukraine/#Russia #US/#Iran/#Israel wars? Could route to de-escalation lie through #China as @nathalietocci.bsky.social suggests? With Huw Strachan, Flora Alexander, @willoyd.bsky.social Evelyn Farkas.

Coming out soon!

L’escalation nella guerra Usa/Israele in Iran era prevedibile così come il modo in cui Trump, manipolato da Netanyahu, sta tentando di trascinare Europa e Asia in una guerra non loro. E (per fortuna), stavolta, l’Europa dice no. Oggi su la Stampa

@nathalietocci.bsky.social excellent as ever on Europe's moral cowardice on Trump's war on Iran, in contrast to Bush's war on Iraq: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Europe is more paralysed than divided over the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. Rather than fostering a shared sense of purpose, this crisis risks hollowing out Europe’s identity and undermining its ability to act independently in the world. My oped www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

La guerra in Medio Oriente si è intrecciata in un nodo gordiano. La forza soverchiante di Usa e Israele rispetto all’Iran spinge in una direzione, ma le motivazioni degli attori vanno in quella opposta. A pagarne il prezzo è, in primo luogo, la regione. Oggi su La Stampa

Listen to this upbeat Power&Purpose conversation Amanda and I have with Arancha Gonzalez, in which she dismisses the distinction btw optimists&pessimists and tells us why the only meaningful choice is whether to be activist open.spotify.com/episode/4xNH... podcasts.apple.com/podcast/aran...

"Europeans have chosen ... to reconcile their values and beliefs by inventing a parallel reality. They continue to profess norms but apply them to an imaginary world in which Iran woke up one morning and attacked Israel and its Gulf neighbors"

Europe Abandons Both Integrity and Influence on Iran in response to Trump’s strikes, European leaders have created an alternate reality to escape their hypocrisy. My piece @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/03/e...

Si sa come iniziano ma non come finiscono le guerre. La guerra USA/Israele contro l’Iran potrebbe finire in una conflagrazione regionale e/o in una dittatura militare. Di democrazia difficile vedere le tracce. Oggi su la Stampa

The most dangerous effect of Trump’s systematic violations of international law is that the world risks becoming numb to them, just like we became numb to Russia or Israel’s systematic war crimes

Yet another war in violation of international law. Without the pretence of seeking UN approval.Unleashed while talks ongoing, making a laughing stock of diplomacy. Trump’s foreign policy is sickeningly predictable, with the only predictable effect being a decline of US power
