The Quirinal Treaty, concluded by France and Italy, as well as the government project of the next German chancellor, Olaf Schotz, are incompatible with the history of the European Union. Paris and Berlin have just taken concrete steps that can only lead to the inevitable dissolution of the European Union.

Reflections On Events In Afghanistan (XXXVI)
36. One Hundred Days of Solitude As the Taliban completes its first hundred days in power, the Western powers are groping for a face-saving formula to engage with the authorities in Kabul with some modicum of dignity. The European Union is taking the lead role here. The European countries have […]
All Governments Have The Obligation To Defend Their People From Illegal Immigration
The Polish government has an obligation to defend its people from illegal immigration, just as all governments across the world do. People shouldn’t be collectively punished and their suffering become the subject of schadenfreude for others simply because one might dislike the policies that their government carries out in their […]
Hard Times Are Coming For Ukraine: Neither NATO Membership Nor Economic Aid
In the years ahead, Ukraine will be the geopolitical black hole of Europe, which will only serve to strengthen the American position in the negotiations with Russia. The final phase of the geopolitical reorganization of the world has begun, in which, unfortunately, nothing but painful cuts, birth pangs and extreme […]
What Explains The Unexpected Diplomatic De-Escalation Between Turkey & The West?
Although both sides are acting like they’ve moved on after last week’s events, their strategists know better than to naively think that everything will go back to how it was before those 10 ambassadors issued their joint statement. Most observers were surprised by Monday’s diplomatic de-escalation between Turkey and the […]
Poland Threw Down The Gauntlet To The EU
Should EU law be imposed upon Member States in contravention of their constitutions, then the bloc risks creating a dangerous precedent that would lead to the erasure of state sovereignty and the accelerated creation of a centrally managed entity divorced from the democratic control of the same people that it […]
The Geopolitical Challenges & Opportunities Of Poland’s Three Seas Initiative
Observers should continue paying close attention to Poland and the 3SI that it hopes to continue leading. This collection of countries has impressive potential even if it could be manipulated for regionally divisive ends. It deserves to be taken seriously and not dismissed. Are The Three Seas Rising Or Receding? […]
The Three Seas Initiative And Global Britain
In September 2021, the chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Poland published a report entitled “Three Seas Initiative and the Opportunities for Global Britain”. He and the report’s three coauthors are British citizens of Polish descent who lobby for cooperation between the two countries. The group’s chair, MP Daniel […]
Rise Of Centre-left In Germany
The big take-away of Germany’s first election of the post-Merkel era is that none of the parties has ‘won’ and each of the parties has reason to look miserable and feel disappointed with their performance. A new political landscape is struggling to be born. For the ruling Christian Democrats [CDU], […]
The Anglo Unilateralists Strike
When President Joe Biden won the White House, he promised, with a facility of unceasing boredom, that diplomacy was back. “Diplomacy is back at the centre of our foreign policy,” he stated on February 4. “As I said in my inaugural address, we will repair our alliances and engage with […]
The EU vs CNN: Who’s Lying About Last Year’s Belarus-Wagner Provocation?
It’s impossible for both of them to be right: this interpretation of events is either ‘disinformation’ or the truth, there’s no middle ground. “EU vs. Disinfo”, the self-described “flagship project of the European External Action Service’s East Stratcom Task Force” (the EEAS being the self-described “EU’s diplomatic service”) that functions […]
Weaponised Refugees And Hybrid Attacks
Refugees and asylum seekers provide rich pickings for demagogues and political opportunists. The Australian approach politicises their plight by arguing that they are illegitimate depending on the way they arrive, namely, by boat. The twentieth anniversary of the MV Tampa’s attempt to dock at Christmas Island with over 400 such […]
