1 month ago | theglobalist.com | Stephan Richter

Until January 2017, when Donald Trump arrived in the White House, any suggestion that the United States and Turkey would become more alike politically would have been considered sheer lunacy. And yet, there are many tell-tale signs that Turks and Americans increasingly find themselves in a very similar predicament.
The J.D. Vances and the Second Coming of the John F. Kennedys?

1 month ago | theglobalist.com | Stephan Richter |Markus Heinrich

Even before he made it to the stage of the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and his family had a very carefully choreographed exit from his government airplane at Munich Airport.   The way in which his wife Usha walked down the mobile stairs from the airplane with her three children, one in her arm, all in a little dark coat, was an early sign of what, in the Vances’ mind, lies ahead for the world. Another global “it” couple?

1 month ago | theglobalist.com | Stephan Richter |Markus Heinrich

Donald Trump and Elon Musk clearly form the world’s most inflammatory mutual admiration society. The current U.S. president feels a particular emotional bond. In his recent speech before Congress, he professed in reference to Elon Musk that “he doesn’t need to do this, he doesn’t need to do this.” It was as if Trump was also sending a message to himself that he too didn’t need to shoulder the burden of taking on the U.S. presidency.

Many Europeans currently feel very frustrated and indeed discouraged by what they rightly perceive as a fundamental betrayal by Donald Trump.

Germany is Not “Lurching to the Right”

1 month ago | theglobalist.com | Denis MacShane |Markus Heinrich

The German election outcome is being reported by the BBC, FT and other establishment media as a “lurch to the right.” It has never been clear what a “lurch” actually means in the lexicon of political clichés. However, those in Britain or J.D. Vance and Elon Musk in the United States who went out of their way to endorse the AfD surely are disappointed. Germans say “Nein Danke” More than 4 out of 5 German said “Nein Danke” to the AfD offer.
Donald Trump ("Abu Ivanka") and the Gulf States Vs. Iran

Jan 25, 2025 | theglobalist.com | Ezgi Basaran |Markus Heinrich

Yes, they call him Abu Ivanka. Father of Ivanka. Ivanka Trump. That’s how commentators and policymakers in the Gulf States refer to the president-elect, Donald Trump. And while Europeans fret over the days ahead, Gulf States and Israel are quietly celebrating Trump’s return to power. Why? Because they have learned the art of transacting with a man who stands for no principle, lacks coherence and displays no consistency.
What Happened to the Asian Century?

Jan 16, 2025 | theglobalist.com | John West |Markus Heinrich

Back in 2011, the Asian Development Bank set out a vision for an “Asian Century.” By nearly doubling its share of global GDP to 52% by 2050, Asia could regain the dominant economic position it held some 300 years ago – before the Industrial Revolution. Similarly, at the launch of her government’s 2012 White Paper on the Asian Century, Australia’s then Prime Minister Julia Gillard declared: “Whatever this century brings, it will bring Asia’s return to global leadership, Asia’s rise.

After the stunning military offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) that toppled the Assad regime, political stability and the emergence of a democratic state in Syria remain a distant hope. Indeed, for millions of Syrians on the ground, migration is likely to remain one of the few options available to ensure the safety and well-being of their families.
