Binoy Kampmark: More Guns, Less Butter - Starmer’s Defence Spending Splash

The urge to throw more money at defence budgets across a number of countries has become infectious. Spend, spend, spend is the theme, and the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has shown himself willing to join this wasteful indulgence.

Binoy Kampmark: Macron’s Offer - France And The Delusions Of Nuclear Deterrence

The trouble with deterrence chatter is that it remains hostage to delusion. Strategists talk in extravagant terms about the genuine prospect that nuclear weapons can make any one state safer, leading to some calculus of tolerable use. The French offer of replacing the US nuclear umbrella in Europe perpetrates similar deadly sins about deterrence.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: A Diagnosis And Prescription For The Polycrisis

Keith Rankin: Germany's Election 2025 - Far Establishment-Right Versus Far Non-Establishment-Right?

For democracies to save themselves, they should bring non-establishment voices to the table. In 2025. Germany will be another important test case, already sowing the seeds of political failure. We should be wary of demonising the far non-establishment-right while lionising the far establishment-right.
