Provocative take by our editor @ianadreyer.bsky.social
โThe most realistic course for BXL in interest of long-term stability (โฆ) w/US (โฆ): do exactly nothing after the Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffsโ
V Disturbing indeed. But not surprising in a world where EU countries still need to decide how to approach their security: together - or alone but by creating major new risks including nuclear proliferation.
Those headlinesโฆ. Inimaginable news until recently.
If CJEU were to follow this opinion, it would be a massive blow to the Commission's credibility on the rule of law front, and very bad news for Poland, as the Commission has been similarly "flexible" with signing off on rule of law milestones and then unlocking the entirety of PL funds in 2024. 2/
Trade Secrets today. Building a critical minerals network ex-China: good idea. But if you think the Trump admin will public-spiritedly run a rules-based international rare earths coalition, Iโve got prospecting rights for deposits of Imaginium in the mineral-rich territory of Delusionia to sell you.

The big danger for Europe now is complacency - that having apparently seen Trump off for now, that political leaders retreat back to their comfort zone."
I felt the same way as you.
3/ Surely as a serious top level member of the Democratic Party one should be able to do better than this now? How doesnyour country recover from this Trump episode if ever?
2/ A certain type of punditry over in the US and here in Europe will have a very difficult reckoning soon, I am afraid.
Writing as if your country wasn t sinking, self destructing and others along w it is shocking these days.
This is no longer about obsessing about China and making adjustments.
Confession: utterly bored by such a piece by a person in the position of the author.
1/ Why? Because it is in denial about what the Trump administration is creating, at home and abroad
Trade patterns and policies need change as geopolitics shift. So what?

I wrote about Minnesotans putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny.
Some thoughts from my new piece - angry and alarmed, but also hopeful and inspired:

German state failure - rather grandiose here. Scary Europeans are ruled like that - and not only in Germany.
tssssssss.
In this 161st long-read on my blog, I seriously consider the hypothesis of the US becoming a hostile power.
I show how everything contributes to this, establishing a link between the domestic scene & the international arena.
The time to de-risk has come.
