Orbán expressed sympathy for Poland today—but, unsurprisingly, didn’t condemn Russia for violating Polish airspace. Meanwhile, pro-gov tabloid Ripost spun it as: “a NATO country attacked Russian drones in its airspace.” This isn’t the popular view in Hungary—just cheap

Don't look away. Don't forget. Don't forgive. The world's richest nations and militaries are willingly allowing this to happen every day to an allied democracy.
Another barrage of russian drones is coming to kill and destroy. Kyiv prepares for a night in the shelters. With my sleeping bag packed and a cup of tea, I wait and scroll through the news. This is so wild. Don't allow russia to normalize its daily terror over Ukrainians.

Birth rates are falling much faster among progressives than conservatives in last decades (@FT). This might help explain the global surge of the populist right — and also signals deeper “strategic reserves” for conservative political forces

Negativity spread like a virus long before social media. This new paper in @Nature used epidemiological models to explain the viral spread of rumors during France’s Great Fear of 1789.

Sounds familiar? “The influence campaign seeks to recruit people both in Greenland and Denmark to the separatist movement and to sow division between the island and Copenhagen”

Finally, someone is happy with the outcome of the Alaska summit
Russian media are hailing the Alaska summit as a big win for Moscow: • “a tactical victory for Russian diplomacy” • “huge diplomatic victory for Vladimir Putin” • “Trump perceived Russia’s interests as legitimate.” #ReadingRussia

A distinct win for Putin 🇷🇺. He didn’t yield an inch. A distinct setback for Trump 🇺🇸. No ceasefire in sight. And no one knows where 🇺🇸 policy is heading in next weeks. What the world sees is a weak and wobbling America.

President Trump is imitating the Chinese Communist Party by extending political control ever deeper into the economy.

I spoke with the great @IVejvoda on @IWM_Vienna’s Vienna Coffee House Conversations about the rise of a “post-Enlightenment” era—where feelings beat facts, tribal politics thrive, and disinfo reshapes democracy. We also looked at Hungary ahead of 2026.
