The EU is securing a peaceful Arctic from the deck of a 35-year-old ship that almost wasn’t there

Trump’s push for American control of Greenland has given EU a reason to explain how they intend to secure it. Ursula von der Leyen has a forthcoming strategy and a 35-year-old Danish patrol ship whose sister vessel could not deploy for lack of sailors. Greece might recognise the level of reassurance.

Turkey Has a Price. Was Syria the Deal, the US the Dealmaker and the EU the Financier?

Before Israel and the United States went to war with Iran, Turkish companies had already begun appearing inside major Syrian infrastructure projects. Was Syria the price of Turkish restraint, and did Washington mistake a transaction for an alliance? Was this a strategic error?

Turkey Finds Turkish Seals In Greek Waters

Turkey has discovered a new species in the Aegean: the Turkish monk seal. It lives around Greek islands, carries no passport and becomes Turkish the moment Recep Tayyip Erdogan draws a coloured shape around it on a map.

US Cowboys, Middle Eastern Airspace and Reliable Partners

Y’all remember that awkward Ankara summit where everybody was promised everything, nobody got much of anything, Turkey was once again declared a reliable partner without getting its F-35s, and Trump supposedly flew home on the older Air Force One because the new Qatari jet wasn’t quite sophisticated enough yet?

Turkish Sultanate supports their Turkish Cypriot brothers with an illegal bidirectional pipeline - escalation imminent?

Turkey has once again demonstrated its boundless generosity toward the Turkish Cypriots. After occupying the northern third of Cyprus for over half a century, Ankara has decided the best way to help its “brothers” is to build them a 101-kilometre undersea natural gas pipeline - without asking the internationally recognised government of the island.

The "Cypriot issue"

Kaja Kallas and other EU officials have discovered a new favourite phrase: “the Cyprus issue.” It is an exceptionally useful expression. It removes the Turkish invasion, the occupation of more than a third of an EU member state, the displaced Greek Cypriots, the settlers, the troops and the unrecognised regime.

Ankara Summit Special - Trump Tells Allies To “Talk That Talk, Walk That Walk”

Ankara, July 2026 - he most awkward NATO family reunion since Turkey bought Russian missiles and everyone pretended not to notice. Trump’s strategy of dangling a carrot in front of Erdoğan is in full swing, the results may vary.
