Finally, the question has arrived that I had feared: “President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to eliminate a key tool that lower courts have used to block various aspects of his agenda.” (Politico). I do hope that the U.S. Supreme Court (a.k.a. SCOTUS) will respect the U.S. Constitution. Nevertheless, I doubt that all SCOTUS members will respect their...

Het verschil in machtspolitiek tussen Trump’s Amerika en Rusland is enorm: woorden (Trump) versus daden (o.a. oorlog met Georgië (2008) en overname van Zuid-Ossetië en Abchazië, invasies de Krim-2014 en Ukraine-2022). De intenties van Rusland lijken tamelijk duidelijk: de heroprichting van de Sovjet-Unie (1922-1991). De Russische president ziet dat als een...

Or, alternatively, the post-glacial sea level rise following...

Enige tijd geleden vroeg ik me al af wat het tij van opkomend nationalisme zou kunnen keren (o.a. mijn blogs van 2025-01a, 2025-01b, 2025-02). Ik dacht toen nog dat dit een kwestie van vele jaren zou zijn. Onderstaand recente Bloomberg artikel lijkt een ander antwoord te geven: de Canadese premier Justin Trudeau leek politiek dood en begraven, maar het Amerika van...

Recently, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (ie, Kaja Kallas) claimed that “The free world needs a new leader”, following Trump’s Oval Office clash with the Ukrainian president (eg, Independent). Perhaps, she referred to the EU as that new leader (Who). Her timing (When) is remarkable because Trump is old (b.1946) and in his second...
