Fremragende, omend lidt deprimerende nytårstråd om truslerne mod Europa, USA's afsked med samme og om de geopolitiske fejlslutninger, der stadig har indpas i europæiske regeringer. Tag dig tiden til at læse den til ende.
It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state.
Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence.
I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."
