Jeremy and I wrote this over the weekend and it was supposed to be an optimistic piece. It still is, despite the rollercoaster ride of today‘s election. We see reason for hope when it comes to German foreign policy and the country’s role in Europe.

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

To my fellow French friends (and everybody who claims to understand French politics): how likely is it that France will see early PRESIDENTIAL elections? (Something that I was told would never happen. But this was before today). So?

We at @ecfr.eu are very lucky to host @abarbashin.bsky.social as visiting fellow in Berlin. He has listened to Putin at Valdai for us, so that you don’t have to. You can find his take here ➡️ Enemy number one: What Putin’s foreign policy speech says about Europe: ecfr.eu/article/enem...

Ich habe mit der Geoeconomics Kolumne des Handelsblatts eine Weile pausiert, weil ich mir über den Sommer ein Sabbatical genommen habe, um andere Dinge voranzutreiben. Jetzt bin ich wieder mit im Autorenteam. My latest.

„The assumption that ego management can be transmuted into lasting policy gains is wrong.“ My colleague Jeremy Shapiro has it exactly right. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Europe should be wary of the Trump flattery trap

The “flatter, appease, distract” strategy may produce the appearance of stability, but it creates a reality of vulnerability.

But even this is tricky. Many European countries see buying US weapons as part of their insurance fee. This perpetuates dependency. But „buying European“ is oftentimes not even possible, for the lack of available products (e.g. 5th generation fighter jets). It‘s about managing dependencies imo.

Qatar has now been bombed by both Iran and Israel, while hosting a major US base. This has serious implications on the meaning - or lack thereof - of hosting US military as well as just how inconvenient it is to be a mediator in this day and age.

On the DoD security assistance cuts to Europe, there is a reasonable case that US sec assistance should not be going to European Union countries. I think the aid was justified given Russia's invasion but a phase out is a sensible. The EU is wealthy and aid s/d largely go to poorer countries.

At the start of the war, 'Finlandisation' was still considered a dirty word. Just saying.

In Helsinki, the court case against the #EagleS captain and 1st and 2nd officers started yesterday.
