Nell’incontro Trump-Zelensky c’è un’incognita e una probabilità: non è imminente la fine della guerra. L’incognita riguarda invece se Trump deciderà di tirarsi indietro dal conflitto o se si schiererà definitivamente contro l’Europa e a favore di Mosca. Oggi su la Stampa

Another great episode of Power & Purpose, with @nathalietocci.bsky.social and Amanda Sloat interviewing Rory Stewart. Nathalie references an incident from 2000 that I remember well... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Sidelined by Trump, preoccupied with Ukraine and damaged by its immoral stance on Gaza, Europe can still regain some credibility in the Middle East by supporting Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. My piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Glass half full or half empty? Half empty bc parochial nationalisms & cowardice prevented use of 🇷🇺 frozen assets. Half full bc a critical mass haven’t reached point of collective suicide & stand by 🇺🇦 expect more collective action outside EU as enemies within proliferate

Matthias Matthijs and @nathalietocci.bsky.social discuss what Europe stands to lose by accommodating Trump.

Una pace in Ucraina a breve come sostiene Trump è improbabile. La vera domanda oggi è capire se gli europei faranno fronte alla prosecuzione della guerra senza il sostegno Usa utilizzando gli asset russi. E la posizione dell’Italia potrebbe rivelarsi decisiva.Oggi su La Stampa

This week’s European Council will demonstrate whether the EU can be a global player (EU-Mercosur trade deal) & whether a united/secure Europe will exist at all (using Russia’s frozen assets). The stakes couldn’t be higher. Those who stand against bear huge responsibility

Amanda and I said that Power & Purpose would be a women mainly but not women only podcast. Enjoy our super first male guest Rory Stewart for a wonderful conversation about curiosity, courage and conviction in public service! open.spotify.com/episode/2Ph4... podcasts.apple.com/podcast/rory...

Fighting the good fight, with @yaschamounk.skystack.xyz @nathalietocci.bsky.social & Sabina Ćudić timothygartonash.substack.com/p/fighting-t...

Can Europe escape its Trump trap? Delighted to share my @foreignaffairs.com article together with my wonderful colleague Matthias Matthijis www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

“Europe’s Trump strategy is a self-defeating trap,” argue Matthias Matthijs and @nathalietocci.bsky.social. Now, the continent must take steps to restore its own sovereignty—or risk strengthening the far right forces “hollowing it out from within.”

Ciò che dice, fa e scrive è sorprendentemente coerente: l’amministrazione Trump considera l’Europa unita il principale avversario. Oggi su La Stampa

A great piece by @nathalietocci.bsky.social on the US security strategy (if you haven't read it by now)! / Skvělá analýza Nathalie Tocci o americké bezpečnostní strategii. Je tam I nenápadný vzkaz nastupující české vládě. foreignpolicy.com/2025/12/05/n...

Europeans lull themselves into the belief that Trump is unpredictable. This is strangly reassuring, but wrong. The #NSS is only the latest confirmation that Europe is, at best, alone. My piece @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2025/12/05/n...

Europeans have pointlessly reassured themselves with Trump’s supposed unpredictability. When it comes to Europe, this admin is consistent and predictable. As the #NSS clarifies,it’s in the business of tearing Europe apart by supporting far right nationalists backed by Russia too

L’ennesimo flop dei negoziati sull’Ucraina dovrebbero portare gli europei a trovare il coraggio di dire a Trump di farsi da parte, occuparsi dei suoi affari con Putin e di indirizzare altrove il suo zelo per una pace fasulla. Oggi su La Stampa

What does resilience look like in public life? Sylvie Goulard joins @A_Sloat and me on Power & Purpose to explore the political pressures, personal trials, and unexpected turns that have defined her path. Listen to our new episode podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/p...

piano russo per l’Ucraina, le faide interne all’amministrazione Trump e i negoziati a Ginevra: come collegare i punti delle ultime caotiche giornate nella guerra russo-ucraina? Due premesse e due scenari possibili oggi su La Stampa

May this be the end of European delusion, the end of self-humiliation and useless flattery. May this be the moment in which Europeans muster just a fraction of the courage that fellow European Ukrainians have demonstrated so far. #StandwithUkraine #EuropeAlone

La resa ucraina è vicina, con l’intesa tra Mosca e Washington e gli europei rimasti col cerino in mano? No. Non ci sarà capitolazione di Kyiv sopra le teste degli europei. Oggi su la Stampa

Our new episode of Power & Purpose is out! From confronting populism in the Netherlands to navigating crisis in the Middle East, SigridKaag offers an insight into principled decision-making under pressure. podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/p...

L’attacco su Kyiv, la distruzione delle infrastrutture energetiche, l’accerchiamento di Pokrovsk e le dimissioni dei ministri ucraini disegnano un quadro fosco della guerra in Ucraina. Ma è sbagliato interpretare questi eventi secondo la narrativa russa. Oggi su la Stampa

Once a leader on climate action, the EU has given in to the right’s green-bashing. From deforestation to carbon pricing, vital policies are being watered down in the name of ‘competitiveness’. But Europe is shooting itself in the foot. My piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The far right’s attack on liberal democracy in Europe is not as stark as in the U.S., but its effects could be just as deep, @nathalietocci.bsky.social writes.

Listen to our latest episode of Power & Purpose in which @A_Sloat and I talk with @AmbBridgetBrink about passion and perseverance, from her last posting as US Ambassador to Ukraine to her decision to leave diplomacy and run for Congress lnkd.in/djkwxMH4

Con l’annuncio di riprendere test nucleari, Trump, lungi dal contenere le ambizioni di grandi e piccoli uomini forti sparsi per il mondo, non ha fatto altro che dare il via libera alle loro — e alle proprie — peggiori pulsioni. Oggi su La Stampa

In apparenza, il vertice tra Meloni e Orbán si è concentrato sull’Ucraina. Forse grazie alle buone relazioni nel triangolo nazionalista che lega Roma, Washington e Budapest può accadere qualcosa di utile. Questa l’apparenza; la sostanza è ben più ambigua. Oggi su La Stampa

The EU was complicit in the war in Gaza. Trump’s plan can’t be an excuse to dodge responsibility now. My piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In this new episode of Power & Purpose, Amanda Sloat and I chat with Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tsikanovskkaya, widely acknowledged as the winner of the 2020 election, about democracy, courage, and the cost of freedom. podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/p...

Promuovere la pace non richiede ego o la disponibilità a metterci la faccia. Serve costanza, conoscenza e coraggio. Con la pace non arrivano solo Nobel e affari, ma anche sacrifici, che, per ora, Trump non sembra disposto a sostenere. Oggi su La Stampa

Israele e Hamas si preparano al rilascio degli ostaggi israeliani e dei prigionieri palestinesi, dopo il cessate il fuoco. Significa che la guerra a Gaza è finita e la pace è all’orizzonte? È bello crederci, ma per ora è improbabile. Oggi su la Stampa

“Israel has gone over the top because it has been allowed to do so by the West. Its friends were not very friendly in a sense, because they didn’t stop it from committing suicide in the long term." - @nathalietocci.bsky.social to @yarotrof.bsky.social in @wsj.com.

In this new episode of Power&Purpose, Amanda Sloat and I have a wonderful conversation with Susanna Malcorra. From failures and reinvention to courage and joy, she explores what it takes to strengthen democracy and multilateralism in the 21st century. podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/s...

L’accettazione da parte di Hamas del piano Trump-Netanyahu suggerisce che la mobilitazione della Global Sumud Flotilla, le manifestazioni e gli scioperi della società civile in tutto il mondo siano stati inutili o fuori tempo massimo? Tutto il contrario. Oggi su La Stampa

Proud of my country these days. In solidarity with Gaza #FreeGaza #FreePalestine

La Flotilla ha ripreso il viaggio verso Gaza. Mettono a rischio la propria incolumità per fare ciò che governi e istituzioni avrebbero dovuto fare da tempo: esercitare ogni potere a loro disposizione affinché venga rispettato il diritto internazionale. Oggi su La Stampa

Stiamo forse assistendo a un’inversione a U della politica estera del presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump sull’Ucraina? Non penso. Oggi su La Stampa
