Really appreciated Michta's article and the way he foresees a possible restructuring of the Continent. Haven't heard much about "hard power" from the Europeans. I don't know what it is with France: 1940 all over again. Is this in the French DNA? You live in Paris, any thoughts on this? I found the article and illustrations so profound I spent more than a half hour to read and re-read.
As always, an excellent summary of news from around the world. I was particularly struck by the item on Chile's new leftist president, Gabriel Boric. It tends to confirm my opinion, based on President Biden's plunge in the polls, that an electoral campaign strategy tending to raise people's expectations isn't really a good idea. Chances are that reality and the Law of Unintended Consequences will prevent you from delivering as promised, or maybe you're just an incompetent fool. Then what...?
Claire,
