On RTÉ, I highlighted a striking contradiction. Ireland hosts Europe’s largest alumina refinery at Aughinish - and exports to Russia have skyrocketed since 2022. Australia banned these exports early in the war, citing their strategic importance. The EU has not followed suit. Why the divergence?

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

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 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.

From the beginning, the idea of talks in Istanbul was to distract and delay - a direct response to calls for a ceasefire from European leaders in Kyiv and Trump Putin’s gesture was a tactic to appear engaged and avoid further sanctions without making real concessions From RTÉ's Prime Time

On RTÉ's Six-One News I discussed EU plans to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine withstand the consequences of Russia’s invasion Using Russian assets to support Ukraine is not as radical as allowing the costs of this war to fall on the victims

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

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.

On RTE’s 6-1 News I noted that core issues such as territorial integrity and the post-war security architecture remain unresolved Officials in the Baltic states repeatedly stressed to me that the outcome in Ukraine is not localised. It will shape Europe’s strategic landscape for many years to come

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 ...

Activist Guido Reichstadter scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to protest the Iran war. "What I did was follow the call of my heart. I couldn't stay silent in the face of these ongoing acts of mass murder by the U.S. government in my name."

People hate watching government become sponsored content while families are being squeezed at the pump and DOT is quietly lowering air traffic control hiring targets. That’s the part people can’t unsee.

On Taiwan’s defense: this would be a SALE — Taiwan would pay for its own weapons, unlike the U.S.-taxpayer-funded military AID sent to Israel and Ukraine. Surely Taiwan deserves the chance to defend itself against invasion.
