Why it is in Germany’s own self-interest to take Donald Trump’s policy impulses on trade and defense seriously.

What the Erdogan government must do if it wants to avoid a “cold Turkey” economic shock.

Additional designations of Erdogan’s cronies would hurt the Turkish strongman’s warchest.

In the age of Trump, the EU must strive toward ending its psychological and emotional dependency on the U.S. and be prepared to act unilaterally and independently.

Despite his presumed record of failure, the U.S. President can rightfully say to his masters in Russia “Mission Accomplished.”

The German government should not need any exhortations from the U.S. President to raise its level of defense spending.

Only a strong and coordinated response can deter the Turkish president from continuing to use Western nationals as pawns to advance his political agenda.

Erdogan and Putin are working hard to undermine the EU’s and NATO’s strategic interests in the Balkans.

Only the United States sells more arms than Russia.

Putin has Turkey exactly where he wants it: As an upset NATO ally willing to break ranks with the alliance’s stance toward Russia.
