MAGA's policies towards the EU are proving really counter productive for the US & really good for the EU - βbuy Europeanβ provisions; India, Australia, Mercosur trade deals; military/defence self-sufficiency; UK pivot towards the EU; European far-right poss in retreat

My mood today! Welcome back in the EU, Hungary! ππΊ
For years, OrbΓ‘n held Hungary hostage and Europe to ransom. Thatβs over now. For Hungarians, rebuilding starts: free courts, free press, a government that actually believes in the country it runs. For Europe, one fewer veto.
And another one. Iβd say, by now, any data you enter somewhere on the Internet is going to land on the street, eventually. The question is just: when?

In this episode from POPL 2026, we talk about: undergrad funding and participation, the behind the scenes of AV, choreographic programming, quantum languages, conference catering, and the joy of theory.

Today we woke up in a new Europe! The people of Hungary wrote history and showed the world what democracy means. But now the work starts to rebuild. Europe can no longer use OrbΓ n as a scapegoat, reforms are inescapable. My blog: open.substack.com/pub/sophiein...
Fair point, also true of Tusk in Poland in 2023, and good recommendation!
Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the worldβs smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.
Itβs a special kind of pleasure to see a Russian investment and a MAGA endorsement backfire massively βΊοΈ
Many things to say about the demise of Orbanism but the scale of his defeat is impressive. This is surely also a rejection of Trump & Vance. The threatened new era of official US interference in European domestic politics has got off to a satisfyingly calamitous start
JD Vance is on a historic roll:
He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.
Invited the Pope to come to US for Trumpβs big event - Pope refuses.
Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.
Campaigns in Hungary for OrbΓ‘n - who gets smoked.
Next year, France votes for its President and National Assembly.
I'd like to start raising funds for JD Vance to come campaign.

The US war in Iran is a prime example that military power alone, without a feasible political plan that it supports and the ability to think strategically about consequences of using military power, does not solve or achieve anything desirable

She has got a point.
Do we need to thank the US administration now for being so wildly unpopular in Europe that they donβt even cut it with the voter base of the most corrupt leader in the EU?

Probably not too surprising, given that it is a rather obvious attack vector.
