Der Bundeskanzler will nicht liefern, weil sie so wirksam wären. Das ist das eigentliche Problem. Und die übrige Regierung, inklusive Verteidigungsminister und Außenministerin, leisten angesichts dieser zynischen Begründung keinen Widerstand - bitter.

New paper🚨
Happy to see this paper w/Pit Rieger finally out at EJPR! We study the role of geography in shaping public support for the EU, focusing on border regions. In contrast to past work, we find that border regions vote more eurosceptic. For more ⤵️

The attempt to paint support for ’s victory as extreme or unreasonable is one of the most dangerous aspects of current European discourse.

Without 🇺🇦victory Russia is not deterred & we are not safe.

Victory is the only reasonable course of action. Don’t fear it.

Verstehe ja “De mortuis nil nisi bonum”, sehe die großen Verdienste von Schäuble um 🇩🇪 u daher das fast einmütige Twitterlob. Aber: zur Wahrheit gehört auch, dass er von Finanz- und Wirtschaftspolitik wenig verstand und mit ihr in Südeuropa großes und unnötiges Leid verursachte.

Meine drei Tage in der Ukraine, in denen ich neben Verteidigungsminister Umerov noch einige weitere Offizielle und Militärs getroffen habe, haben mir besonders eines gezeigt: Die offiziellen Aussagen passen immer weniger zu dem Bild, das offiziell in Pressekonferenzen oder…

Any Western backtracking will only encourage Putin to double down on his assault on . He will not negotiate. This is why we must support Ukraine full-heartedly to win the upper hand on the battlefield. Read my argument Foreign Affairs

Why won't the Kremlin agree to a compromise in Ukraine? The answer lies in Putin's motives. Initially, it may have been imperialism and a desire to control Ukraine. That was bad enough, and difficult enough to stop. But after the full-scale invasion began, the motives changed.

Why was the right decision to use bribe money to pay for lifting Orban veto on accession but not on funding?

Because, obviously, funding can go through alternative channels, while accession can't.

Scandalous decision by European Commission to liberate €10 billion for Hungary… signalling that blackmail beats Ukraine solidarity, good governance and EU values.

I withdraw my confidence in Ursula von der Leyen and this Commission !

Judging by the presentation of 👇this book that I was fortunate to witness at Uni Vienna a few weeks ago, this is going to become a foundational work on radical right and the welfare state 👍🎉

😭 European Commission unfreezes €10bn to Orban’s kleptocracy, pretending HU suddenly has independent courts & respects rights. A betrayal of 🇭🇺civil society/🇪🇺taxpayers. Ursula von der Leyen could’ve let EU Council own this, but she does now. Will European Parliament deem her fit for a 2nd term?

With the EU caving into extortion from Orbán and handing him billions in funding today, it might be a good time for those who haven't read my 2020 JEPP on the EU's authoritarian equilibrium to have a look at it. The authoritarian equilibrium isn't going away...

The “deal” that Viktor Orbán just extorted from the EU reminds me of what a lawyer at an NGO told R. Daniel Kelemen & I about the Commission’s pliable approach to enforcing EU law (in an interview for our “Where have the Guardians Gone” article):

We're on the verge of being check-mated by just one man, namely Vladimir Putin.
He overreached so much, we could've wrecked him, his regime, his expeditionary forces, and to some extent even his country.
But he could count on his cattle-like population to just obey, obey, obey.…

Is it possible to phase out coal and still win an election? Yes! Excited that my paper w Fergus Green & Mikel González-Eguino on the electoral success of policies in coalmining communities is now available in American Political Science Review doi.org/10.1017/S00030…

This is one of the darkest moments for me in the war against Russia.

I just returned from visiting many our friends fighting in Donetsk region, and we had long discussions on the war, and geopolitics around it.

Authentic thoughts from Ukraine's frontlines, noted in this 🧵
