Under the guise of the “Russian threat”, EU elites aim to intensify the crackdown on democracy — and transfer even more power to Brussels. For this strategy to succeed, tension must remain high with Moscow, no matter what happens in Ukraine. My latest: www.compactmag.com/article/euro...

Good piece by @thomasfazi.bsky.social on Europe's arms buildup. The EU has gone from being the world capital of austerity during the euro crisis to the world capital of bellicosity now. www.compactmag.com/article/euro...

What occurred in Romania is a harbinger of things to come elsewhere. Elites no longer limit themselves to manipulating public opinion and electoral processes but are increasingly willing to discard the formal structures of democracy altogether. My latest: www.compactmag.com/article/how-...

My deep dive on the Trump-Zelenskyy fallout — and its potential impact on the course of the war and the ongoing peace negotiations. “For now, the war hawks have the wind in their sails once again...”. www.thomasfazi.com/p/the-pro-wa...

New article out on the pathetic response of European leaders to Trump’s Ukraine policy. After sacrificing their own interests to US hegemony, they are now posturing as the last defenders of the very policies that rendered them irrelevant in the first place. www.compactmag.com/article/how-...

European leaders are so swept up in their militaristic frenzy and anti-Russian propaganda that, paradoxically, the US’s security decoupling from Europe — i.e., the Europeanisation of NATO — risks increasing the chances of war on the continent. My latest: unherd.com/2025/02/trum...

EU elites can’t reconcile reality with their own Ukraine narratives. This cognitive dissonance is leading them to make increasingly irrational and delusional claims, as when they emphasise the need to prepare for an all-out war with Russia. My latest: www.compactmag.com/article/euro...

First post on Bluesky! Latest piece of mine at @unherd.com just out on why the only way to truly tackle the EU’s economic challenges is to recognise that the core issue is the EU itself. A radical revision of intra-European collaboration is needed. Feedback welcome! unherd.com/2025/02/euro...
