Presented by Uber By JAMIE DETTMER with ZOYA SHEFTALOVICH PRESENTED BY It is Good Friday, that doleful day in the Christian calendar marking the crucifixion. Nonetheless it is good because it presages the resurrection, signifying victory of light over darkness.
Making excuses for Putin

Vladimir Putin’s generals always wage total war: no holds-barred, no observance of what Moscow sees as sentimental international rules of war — hence, the egregious abuses in Bucha and Irpin. It’s also how Putin waged war against Chechnya during his tenure as prime minister, when he oversaw a devastating bombing campaign that razed the breakaway republic’s capital Grozny in 1999, which forced more than 100,000 to flee.

Nie wiadomo jednak, czy ta przerwa taryfowa dla wszystkich z wyjątkiem Chin potrwa dłużej niż 90 dni, które Trump wyznaczył — prawdopodobnie on sam jeszcze tego nie wie. Jak ostrzegł niedawno jego były doradca do spraw bezpieczeństwa narodowego John Bolton, działania amerykańskiego prezydenta są "transakcyjne, doraźne, epizodyczne". Czy Trump zatopi gospodarkę na wzór Wielkiej Brytanii?

"Niezamierzone konsekwencje". Największym przegranym ceł Donalda Trumpa może być on sam. Zrobił idealny prezent rywalom USA [OPINIA]

— Ameryka jest stracona! — zauważył zrozpaczony brytyjski król Jerzy III, analizując przyczyny i konsekwencje rewolucji amerykańskiej z XVIII w., zwanej również wojną o niepodległość Stanów Zjednoczonych. Czy dzisiejszy przywódca w Waszyngtonie pewnego dnia będzie podobnie żałował tego, że stracił świat? Mało prawdopodobne. Prezydent USA Donald Trump nie jest człowiekiem, który przyznaje się do błędów czy wyraża jakikolwiek żal.
How Trump cost America the world

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. “America is lost!” a distressed King George III had noted, reviewing the causes and consequences of the American Revolution. But will today’s would-be monarch in Washington one day similarly regret having lost the world? Unlikely. U.S. President Donald Trump isn’t a man to admit mistakes — nor is he one to express regret.
For Europe’s populists, Trump is a mixed blessing

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. U.S. President Donald Trump and his ideological allies in Europe are confident the future is on their side — that they can surf an historic wave carrying away all that came before and reshape the landscape. They hold that faith as steadfastly as Karl Marx held his about the inflexible “law of history” leading to a workers’ paradise.
Trump would only help a neighbor for profit

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. In December 1940, then-U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt explained the thinking behind his plan to lend and lease wartime supplies and equipment to a beleaguered Britain. It was like offering a neighbor the use of a garden hose to extinguish a house fire. You wouldn’t say to your neighbor “my garden hose cost me $15; you have to pay me $15 for it,” he said. All you would ask is your hose be returned once the flames had been doused.

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has spent years eroding democracy, stifling dissent and purging the country’s army and civil service. Now, it looks as though he’s chosen this geopolitical moment to bury the legacy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the secular founder of the Republic of Turkey.
