Κάποτε είχαμε ένα όνειρο. Ένα όνειρο για το πώς θα μπορούσε να είναι η Ευρώπη. Μια Ευρώπη της κοινής ευημερίας, της αξιοπρέπειας, της ελευθερίας – μια Ευρώπη της Ειρήνης και της Ελπίδας. Αυτό το όνειρο εξαϋλώθηκε, διαλύθηκε, είναι νεκρό. Γιατί; Τι στα κομμάτια συνέβη στην Ευρώπη; Ξέρουμε τι συνέβη στην Ευρώπη! Ξέρουμε γιατί πολιτικοί καταφθάνουν από παντού […]

Η εβδομάδα που πέρασε ήταν ιστορική: Το γερμανικό Κοινοβούλιο τροποποίησε το Σύνταγμα εξαιρώντας από συνταγματικό φρένο χρέους τους εξοπλισμούς ώστε να επιτρέπονται απεριόριστες στρατιωτικές δαπάνες – όσο βαθιά στο κόκκινο και να σπρώξουν τον προϋπολογισμό της ομοσπονδιακής κυβέρνησης! Στο μεταξύ, καμιά αντίστοιχη δημοσιονομική γενναιοδωρία δεν αφορά στις επενδύσεις σε νοσοκομεία, εκπαίδευση, πυροσβέστες, παιδικούς σταθμούς, συντάξεις, πράσινες τεχνολογίες κ.λπ. Εν ολίγοις, όταν πρόκειται για τη χρηματοδότηση της […]

If we truly want to strengthen Europe, the first step is not to rearm. It is to forge the democratic union without which stagnation will continue to erode Europe’s capacities, rendering it unable to rebuild what is left of Ukraine once Vladimir Putin is finished with it.

Today I’d like to talk about that delightful little companion of field and garden: the shrike. [copyright Rosemary Mosco, 2024, birdandmoon.com] If you know, you know. And if you don’t know… well, let’s talk about shrikes. Shrikes are a group of birds found across the tropics and the northern hemisphere. There are about 30 species, […]

Back in the 70s and 80s, the USSR’s economy was in terrible shape. It hadn’t always been, that’s a triumphalist myth: for a long time it out-performed the West, and economic textbooks of the 50s discuss the problem that the Soviets were growing faster than we were.
So Reagan’s administration came up with a plan: they’d increase defense spending, the Soviets would have to do the same, and the strain would screw over their economy. There’s various arguments, but it seems to have worked.
Recently Trump suggested that Russia, America and China all cut their defense spending in unison. Russia was interested, China said no.
Now, of course, the US spends way more than anyone else on its military, but that’s mostly because it over-pays for everything because of vast corruption.

Public commentary on Peter Dutton’s possible referendum on a ministerial discretion to deprive dual nationals of their Australian citizenship has focused on whether or not this is just a thought bubble and whether or not it is politically wise to be holding yet another referendum. The real issue goes much deeper, to the merits of Continue reading »
Before this election is much older, Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton are going to have to determine where they stand on all the important issues. There’s a substantial chance that both are wrongly positioned and that each might have to face the other way, or perish politically. It’s not for an argument about which vista Continue reading »
