He swam across the North Pole, the length of the English Channel, and across a glacier lake at Mount Everest.

Sad to learn of the passings of Paul Hofheinz, a true transatlanticist, inspirational and one of the nicest guys in Brussels, co-founder @thelisboncouncil.bsky.social , and of Richard Vines, who elegantly edited my markets copy when I was at Bloomberg. Both were too young to leave this life.

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.

Waarom in vredesnaam Orban en Fico weer de boel laten chanteren? Richt een nieuwe defensie-organisatie op zonder deze Poetin-lovers. Er is geen tijd voor gesteggel, er is geen ruimte voor slappe compromissen. Vol gas op defensie, en laat Hongarije en Slowakije over 20 jaar maar onder de voet lopen.

Rutte denkt dat de wereld op Nederland lijkt, maar weet ook dat hij als sg NAVO per saldo lakei is van VS. Daarom kiest Rutte nu de facto partij tegen Oekraïne, het land dat hij ondanks MH17 tot 2022 niet wilde leren kennen. Bah.
