Introducing Compass A new journal about global cultures and developments from the Institute of Current World Affairs.

Is Trumpism exportable to Europe? Czechia may be a test case The billionaire populist Andrej Babiš is running for his old job as prime minister.

Great to have @daliborrohac.bsky.social weigh in on the Czech Republic's upcoming elections: The leading candidate is "a perfect avatar for Trump’s style of politics, complete with his own red hat that says 'Strong Czechia.'”

I was thrilled to contribute to @icwa.org's exciting new publication, Compass, with an essay on the Czech Republic's Trump-in-waiting, @andrejbabis.bsky.social, and the likely contours of his looming premiership.

Truth Social post by Donald Trump, Jun. 8, 2025, 11:19 PM: “Arrest the people on face masks, now!” (except in all caps)

In other news, the president has issued a call for ICE agents to arrest each other.

Georgia Tries, and Fails, to Emulate Hungary The Trump administration has so far ignored Georgia, despite its autocratic government’s best efforts. Let’s hope it stays that way.

But is it unimaginable Bidzina Ivanishvili will successfully pitch a corrupt crypto/real-estate scheme to Don Jr. or somesuch? Or that he'll wine and dine Tucker Carlson in Tbilisi to familiarize him with GD's deeply socially conservative policies? Well, no. /2

Shock at Harvard After Government Says International Students Must Go

1/A government that is willing to do this is the same government that would nationalize a company. It is the same mentality of state-market relations. This is not an issue of Universities need to stand up. The whole free market system needs to stand up.

The EU is being timid with Ukraine Donald Trump may have pulled the world in a decidedly protectionist direction, but the European Union is not doing its part to lead by example and uphold the ideals of free trade – not even with Ukrai...

But, more importantly, if tariff-free imports of wheat and poultry from Ukraine are so intolerable, how is the EU going to bring Ukraine into the single market? Sooner or later, the rhetoric and policy realities will have to align. My latest. spectator.co.uk/article/the-... /2

In June, Ukraine is bound to lose much of its tariff-free access to the EU for its agricultural goods. Not a great move by the EU, given the size & importance of Ukraine's agriculture -- and the fact that the EU is underwriting Ukraine's budget (& will pay for lost revenue). /1

One of the crazymaking features of the current political moment is that MAGA keeps trying to retcon ideas that were just an uncontroversial part of our shared American values as of a couple years ago into some wacky left-wing position.

I was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. I resigned because of Trump's foreign policy. | Opinion I served in our country's foreign service for three decades. The Trump administration's Ukraine policy will make the U.S. less safe.

Bridget Brink, the US ambassador to Ukraine, says she resigned because she could not carry out Trump policy of pressuring Ukraine, the victim, rather than Russia, the aggressor: "Peace at any price is not peace at all ― it is appeasement." www.freep.com/story/opinio...

This isn’t getting nearly enough attention.

Estonian navy is stopped at intercepting a shadow fleet vessel because a Russian Sukhoi Su-35 violated Estonian air space. This reduces even the implausible deniability to 0, which Russia has been relying on with the shadow fleet.

Twitch star HasanAbi says he was detained, questioned by border agents Hasan Piker, a left-wing political commentator who has 2.8 million followers on Twitch, says he was asked about his political affiliation, opinion of Trump and whether he had connections to terrorist ...

A U.S. citizen stopped upon re-entering the country and asked his opinion of Donald Trump.

Terrible.

“I’m an American citizen. You can’t just stop me at the border and be like: ‘What’s your opinion on Donald Trump? You’re not allowed to enter the nation.’”

Trump a novinári Svojím strachom a neochotou pomenovať realitu štandardné americké médiá Trumpovi len nahrávajú.

V @dennikn.bsky.social píšem o probléme, ktorý pre americký žurnalizmus predstavuje Donald Trump (a nie, nie je to "TDS") dennikn.sk/4625316/trum...

Yhdysvaltalaisia asiantuntijoita kiellettiin lähtemästä Lappiin tiedetapahtumaan – syynä Trumpin hallinto Yhdysvalloissa vallitsee epävarmuuden aika. Arktista tiedeyhteistyötä on vaikeuttanut esimerkiksi sanojen poistaminen verkkosivuilta ja suora kielto osallistua tapahtumiin.

The US Army War College was supposed to organise a panel discussion at the Arctic Spirit Conference in Rovaniemi, Finland, but had to cancel as they weren’t allowed to travel.

We should be grateful to the Lord to now be blessed with having an American on the world stage who embodies good and not evil.

Wow, the first American pope is also the first NeverTrump pope!

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump This is Biden's Stock Market, not Trump's. I didn't take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden "Overhang." This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers, but when the boom begins, it will be like no other.

Ukraine Holds More Cards Than You Think Trump wants to throw the country under the bus—but Ukrainians and Europeans don’t have to let him.

No, Ukraine is not helpless and its survival strategy should not consist of accepting all of Trump's distinctly unreasonable demands. My latest for @americanpurpose.bsky.social. www.persuasion.community/p/ukraine-ho...

Opinion | Harvard May Not Be the Hero We Want, but It Is the Hero We Need The university’s defense of the Constitution doesn’t absolve it of its own sins, but the defense of the Constitution often comes through imperfect vehicles.

"Conservatives should consider a counterfactual. Should the federal government be able to withhold all federal funding from a private Christian college (including, say, tuition dollars from the G.I. Bill or Pell Grants) unless it hires more Muslim faculty or admits more atheist students?"
