EG #TopRisks2026 is here, with the ramifications of the Donroe Doctrine and political revolution in America on full display over the weekend. Extraordinary uncertainty, impunity, and the law of the jungle laid bare.
Negative partisanship is a helluva drug:
Up until a few months ago, liberal and conservative Americans held pretty much the same views on free trade.
Now, not so much…
you’ve never seen a public beating by the american president of a wartime ally like this before.
as stunning as the vance munich speech, but this time directly by the us president.
poland pm donald tusk: “the eu wasn’t formed to screw anyone. quite the opposite. it was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. as simple as that.”
share of the global population that lives in a full democracy as of 2024: 6.6% (new low for ~20 yrs of tracking...until next year)
2 in 5 people living under authoritarian rule
-eiu democracy index
whether or not you’re a fan of president zelensky, the united states trying to force an election in a foreign democracy during wartime–when it can’t be held safely and securely–against most ukrainians’ wishes (including much of zelensky’s opposition) and in violation of the ukrainian constitution is unacceptable.
doing this not to advance american interests but to further putin’s agenda is an abdication of american leadership in nato and on the global stage.
„In dieser aufgewühlten Zeit braucht es Klarheit in der Analyse der Risiken und Herausforderungen“, sagt @n_liminski. Der Minister traf Vertreter des international tätigen Beraterunternehmens @EurasiaGroup. „Gerade nach dieser denkwürdigen #MSC ein hilfreicher Austausch.“
Impunity is the exercise of power without accountability.
While the chief perpetrators are often a country’s most powerful actors, its victims are generally ordinary people.
Launched at @MunSecConf, the third edition of the Atlas of Impunity takes a citizen-centric approach.
In 2025, we are heading back to the law of the jungle.
A world where the strongest do what they can, while the weakest are condemned to suffer what they must.
Here are the Top 10 risks 🧵⤵️
#TopRisks2025
The personal accounts of the year since Oct 7--of Hamas' victims, the hostages, and their families; of the countless suffering in Gaza--are heart-wrenching.

The Embassy engaged with Eurasia Group experts, including @lieber2k, @JChanalytics, and Mr. Sieburg, to cover global issues from the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East and Europe, and topics like foreign affairs and trade. Looking forward to continued engagement with @EurasiaGroup.
Another sleepless night in Beirut. Counting the blasts shaking the city. No warning sirens. Not knowing what’s next. Only that uncertainty lies ahead. Anxiety and fear are omnipresent.
At #UNGA this morning, UN Secretary General @antonioguterres called out a growing age of impunity. This is the right framing. We face a clear choice: the rule of law, or a runaway world. https://t.co/XJzSUWSFig
