More from Donnacha Ó Beacháin

30 years after buying my first CD, I finally got to see @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social live. A predictably wonderful performance with a bonus "My Lovely Horse" for St. Patrick's Day! One of the greatest songwriters of our time, Neil Hannon evokes the full range of human emotions with deceptive ease

I was asked about the rationale for the US-Israeli war on Iran and whether an off-ramp was in sight I noted wryly that Americans are a very lucky people - wherever they go to defend freedom and democracy they invariably find oil

I spoke to TRT World about the upcoming election in Hungary, a potentially pivotal moment for the country’s political trajectory. In this segment I emphasised how Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party has sought to undermine Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s brutal ongoing invasion.

Putin's talk of being “ready for war with Europe” is Orwellian. Europe hasn’t initiated conflict; Russia launched a full-scale invasion. The Kremlin recasts aggression as self-defence to instil fear and undermine support for Ukraine From my RTE 6-1 News interview ...

On @euronews.com I pointed out that Putin has never hidden his goal: for Russia to subdue and annex Ukraine. The only real question now is how far the US is willing to go in helping him get there.

Russia wants Ukraine’s land, and the U.S. wants its resources. On today’s @euronews.com, I highlighted how the Kremlin’s stance on Ukraine remains unchanged - while Europe still struggles to step up and fill the void left by Trump's dramatic policy shift.

Thirty years ago, we celebrated Eastern Europe’s democratisation Now democracies are autocratising The real threat isn’t only external. It’s the cancer of authoritarianism growing from within

I can't envisage Russia accepting any settlement that doesn't legitimise its land grab and ethnic cleansing But if you simply freeze this conflict, you freeze the injustice, the occupation and the forced displacement On today's Euronews ...

As tensions between the US and EU escalated last week - over Greenland and Trump's tariffs - I spoke to TRT about Europe’s growing dilemma, caught between Russia and the US. We are seeing a clear return to spheres of influence, with worrying implications for small(er) states.

As before, the US is prioritising Russia over neighbours like Ukraine Putin will manipulate Trump's impatience for a "deal" and profitable relations with Russia Ukraine finds itself squeezed between Russia, which wants its territory, and the US, which wants its resources

Dec. 31 brings up thoughts of endings, but also of renewal for the year ahead. As Dr. Kim Haines-Eitzen points out, the same is true for the ancient understanding of the apocalypse. It wasn’t the end of everything, as we think of it now, but rather a transition. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...

Een man redde een cobra door hem water te geven. Toen de cobra weer hersteld was, viel het de man meteen aan. Zo gaat het ook met mensen uit Afrikaanse en islamitische landen; je geeft ze alles en krijgt daar een hoop geweld en stank voor terug. Het blijven wilde beesten! #Fix

Everybody is arguing about the face on the bill. Meanwhile people are trying to figure out how to pay the bills. Wrong conversation. The question isn't who's on the currency. The question is what the currency can actually buy. I've been talking about backup plans, community, skills, and preparation
