Too many articles about why Europe needs protecting, too many leaders seeking marginal gains in delivery in place of real vision. I snapped and wrote something quickly about why we need instead the politics of optimism, adaptation, and creativity. www.linkedin.com/pulse/europe...

I see a lot more than “zero” to be honest. The German fiscal change and euro bonds for Ukraine, much of what the Nordics do on defence, FTAs (we are close to EU-Mercosur), new EU budget proposal… Not enough. Some dead ends. But things are happening, in a bloc of 27. That’s something.

Europe sucking up to Trump as a strategy to buy time might be defendable. But only if that time is being used to make Europe independent and strong. But in the past twelve months there have been exactly zero efforts for a stronger, more integrated Europe. So the sucking up is a waste of time.

Alarmists were largely right about Trump, anti-alarmists badly wrong, some sorta admit it, but @polphilpod.bsky.social is unimpressed. "None could hide their contempt for the alarmists, even in their big ‘my bad’ moments... All of them seemed unable to say what they got wrong." @liberalcurrents.com

Politico should not amplify this comment. To be found guilty of embezzlement carries a prison sentence.

Gollnisch, a former member of the EU Parliament for the French far-right National Rally, was found guilty alongside former RN President Marine Le Pen of embezzling funds from the EU institution. When asked about the charges, Gollnisch said: “Jesus Christ also was found guilty and he was innocent.”
