  • China’s cover up of Covid exposes a rotten regime built on deceit

    August 19, 2021

    Too often, conspiracy theories rest on the erroneous assumption that our enemies are both highly evil and highly competent. Most of the time, the opposite is true. The description of Watergate in the peerless thriller All the President’s Men, offers us a more accurate picture: “Forget the myths you’ve read about the White House, these [...]

  • The damning case against China over Covid-19 deserves proper attention

    June 1, 2021

    As John Stuart Mill so eloquently wrote: “the only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.”  Fortified by this moral admonition, I went on to write an April 2020 piece in CapX, charging the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with direct culpability in the spread of [...]

  • Belarus’ act of aviation piracy and kidnapping proves the obvious: anyone can bully the EU

    May 25, 2021

    Yesterday, within about five minutes of one another, both my partner and a colleague drolly made the same comment: “I know Ryanair is tough about customer service, but I didn’t realise you had to pay extra to avoid being kidnapped.” There were, of course, referring to the dreadful act of piracy that occurred over the [...]

  • French ex-Generals war-mongering will help push mainstream politicians into Macron’s arms

    April 29, 2021

    Unlike most of the developed world, France moves through history not via the serenity of political evolution, but rather through the dramatic lurch of revolution, as the country continues to eye-catchingly over-correct its political failings.  The last time this happened was in the heady days of 1958, when an army revolt against the chaotic, parliamentary-dominated [...]

  • Fighting Russian and Chinese disinformation requires a cohesive strategy from Western governments

    April 8, 2021

    Given the world of the internet and multiple platforms, there is undoubtedly more content out there than at any other time in the history of man.  Unfortunately, and predictably, along with this news explosion, the very unhealthy scourge of state-sponsored disinformation–with the West’s authoritarian foes trying to take advantage of this editorially unregulated Wild West [...]

  • Defending the rulebook: Overcoming America’s Darkest Day

    January 7, 2021

    This is a time for elemental thoughts. Following one of the darkest days in the history of the American Republic, when an armed mob set in motion by Donald Trump marched on the capitol, ransacking it, and pressured lawmakers to overturn the 2020 election results (words I never, ever thought I’d write), it is time [...]

  • Where we are in terms of political risk in 2021

    December 31, 2020

    Happy New Year to City A.M. readers!  Writing a regular newspaper column is a lot like dancing: it takes two to tango.  Suffice it to say, while I’ve kept the flame alive these past enervating lockdown months via ceaseless articles detailing the bottomless gloom of 2020, I’m delighted that 2021 may generally bring more positive [...]

  • The tragedy of America’s foreign policy establishment

    December 25, 2020

    Anthony Blinken was a cut above the rest personally. Well-educated, good-looking, quietly ironical (and quite funny), absorbed in the work at hand, and keenly intelligent, Tony seemed to be in it for the Republic, rather than himself — a rarity in a town built on often unearned self-promotion.  Read more: Joe Biden could favour Ireland [...]

  • When it comes to China, Europe is no longer America’s sidekick

    December 23, 2020

    The largely unnoticed downgrading of US-EU ties is so important. Taken entirely for granted by a Trump administration uninterested in the high art of alliance management, when the US sheriff sets out to corral new rival China, it will do so without Europe unambiguously coming along as part of the posse. A recent series of [...]

  • Best of 2020: Europe hurtles into decline, almost unnoticed

    December 21, 2020

    As the year winds down, City A.M. is looking back at the columns that tell the story of our year. For a Europe that has made managing rather than solving economic crises into an art form, the time for paying the piper is fast approaching.  The continent’s long-stagnating economy is perched at the edge of [...]
