Trump’s Triumphant Return — Prospects Ahead of The Hague NATO Summit

The summit in The Hague is set to be far from routine for several reasons: member states are expected to approve a 5 per cent defence spending target by 2035. It will also mark the first summit since 2022 not centred on Ukraine, raising questions about Kyiv’s increasingly uncertain future.

‘Although a certain acceleration in disbursements is expected in the remaining year, it still seems certain that leaving the 2026 deadline unchanged will mean the loss of billions of euros. In light of all this, there is a strong possibility that the Commission’s decision of 4 June, according to which projects must still be completed by 31 August 2026, is not the final word on the matter.’

Why Trzaskowski Lost — On Hubris and Political Polarization

‘Trzaskowski lost because he should never have been the candidate—because his party distanced itself from its own electorate to the point of no longer being able to read their intentions, desires, and positions. Add to that the ever-growing urban–rural divide in present-day Europe, which…proved too steep even to be acknowledged by a party membership that is mostly urban and liberal-leaning.’

How the ‘Most Right-Wing’ Government in Dutch History Fell Apart

‘New elections are expected later this year, and the Dutch right faces a painful dilemma. On one hand, there is a clear need for change: uncontrolled immigration, extreme climate policies, and growing EU interference are major concerns. On the other hand, the right still lacks the organization, leadership, and infrastructure to deliver that change.’

Emmanuel Macron and Giorgia Meloni: A Stark Contrast

The real challenge for the right is to move from instinct and sentiment toward structured political thought.’
