Realpolitik

Just kind words in Tivat! Where is the peace!? A deal yes, peace No!What is happening with USA and EU? 5 elections but no solution!

IBAR? ”Sufficiently! Much ado about nothing! Shart contrasts in Beijing! Where is the exit?!

Neither peace nor war! Peace with bombs?! IBAR in autumn?! Not another Hormuz in Taivan!

IBAR – a springing board or an obstacle? Can we catch the EU Negotiation train 2027? When the dress makes the news! EU electoral April ends in a draw 1:1!

EU 2027 or 2037! Even half membership failed! No exit strategy!

What next?

“With diplomatic velvet“! Major question marks! In Washington yes, but in the White House NO! A strange dinner in Brussels!

From a great ‘apple of disaccord’ to a point of cooperation! A bad start! The strange absence in Davos!

5 lessons from the American 3 January! Don’t count the chicken before they are hatched! Will NATO freeze in Greenland? Wrong diplomatic messages!
