Trump is distracted and Ukraine wants Europe to step up. The continent’s leaders must find their voice and assert it in talks with Russia, writes @alissadecarbonnel.bsky.social. Read her take on why Europeans must take charge of their diplomacy with Moscow. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

In which @nathalietocci.bsky.social talks about Europe's challenge in facing the unsettling reality that "world has gone" as it knew it. Instead of clinging on, she tells @olyaoliker.bsky.social and I, the task is to think radically (and collectively) about reinvention 👇

On the first War & Peace podcast of 2026, @nathalietocci.bsky.social joins @alissadecarbonnel.bsky.social & me to talk U.S. actions in Venezuela, its threats to Greenland, & what's wrong (& right) with European security responses. Plus, multilateralism, what does it even look like now?

Thank you, Olya. Good to be back on social for the hot takes and links to longer reads
