Unbearable angst of Czech being
PRAGUE — Today’s Czechs are healthier, wealthier and safer than they have ever been. The economy grew at a robust 4.2 percent last year and the country boasted the lowest unemployment rate in the European Union. The EU’s problems, from a possible British exit to the eurozone and migration crises, have almost no tangible impact on the...
Donald Tusk wants to bury the European Dream
Europe is coming around to Donald Tusk’s way of thinking. The European Council president has been spreading a message that until recently would have sounded surprisingly Euroskeptic coming from the head of an EU institution: We need to let go of the “European” dream — at least as it has usually been defined since the founding of the Union....
Why this Russian wants to give Donald Trump 100,000 rubles
NIZHNY TAGIL — Felix Nikolaevich Kolsky knows war. His grandfather had five sons, and only one came back from World War II. Kolsky’s father was one of the ones who didn’t make it home, and Felix was born in his absence, shortly after he went off to the front in 1941. “My generation never recovered,” he says of the 27 million people...
Paul Manafort’s wild and lucrative Philippine adventure
When Paul Manafort met Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s, each had something the other wanted. Marcos, then in his third decade as leader of the Philippines, had developed a reputation in Washington as a stalwart ally in the fight against communism.

What exactly would it mean to have Trump’s finger on the nuclear button?
Donald Trump, December 15, 2015: “The biggest problem we have is nuclear—nuclear proliferation and having some maniac, having some madman go out and get a nuclear weapon. That’s in my opinion that is the single biggest problem that our country faces right now.” Hillary Clinton, June 2, 2016: “This is not someone who should ever have the...
Romney: Trump will cause ‘trickle-down racism’
Mitt Romney argued on Friday that Donald Trump’s rhetoric could make racist and misogynistic sentiments more permissible in America. The 2012 Republican nominee hammered the presumptive Republican nominee’s past comments on race, saying on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that if Trump were to become president, his words would pose an...
The POLITICO (football) 24
Footballers from 24 nations are on display in France at Euro 2016. At 23 players per squad, that’s a whopping 552 sweaty bodies — almost as many as the French Assemblée Nationale can muster on a day when there’s coq au vin for lunch. Only a fanatical few football-watchers could possibly exceed a passing knowledge of more than 10...

Why Obama waited
Democrats are finally getting their dream ticket, Clinton-Obama, eight years after many expected — and months later than some on Clinton’s campaign would have hoped. From the start of the 2016 cycle, two things were clear: First, Barack Obama was fully behind Hillary Clinton and more than happy to raise her spirits with cheerful...
Plan for life after Vladimir Putin
Europe faces important milestones in the next few weeks. Will the European Union continue sanctions against Russia? Will Britain withdraw from the union? Both decisions have the potential to weaken the European project, and could alter, whether directly or indirectly, the Continent’s relations with Russia. At this crucial juncture, Europe...
