The Globalist

The new Italian government seems keen to play blame games – and pursuing economic solutions that have already failed conclusively in the past.

Why are Republicans siding with Trump’s trade war? Is it because they are dead-set against the European economic model which seeks social balance?

Only a strong and coordinated response can deter the Turkish president from continuing to use Western nationals as pawns to advance his political agenda.

Erdogan and Putin are working hard to undermine the EU’s and NATO’s strategic interests in the Balkans.

The U.S. President seems to have the upper hand – for now. He doesn’t realize how his trade actions will backfire at home.

The EU is not a mono-directional train headed toward “ever closer union.” An “ever better union” with a clear focus on the principle of subsidiarity might be more like it.

If a radical government in Rome plunges Italy into a deep crisis, it would still be an Italian crisis — rather than a “euro“ crisis.

The saga of a dynamic Germany and a sclerotic Italy does not reflect the historical record.

France and Germany will be very flexible in their response to Italian demands, irrespective of the official rhetoric from Berlin and Paris.

Donald Trump’s foreign policy of humiliation is liable to have dire consequences, not least for the interests of the U.S. itself.
