Welcome to my second newsletter. This week, I looked at some controversy provoked by a hawkish NATO report allegedly authored by a deputy from Turkey’s main opposition party, and take a closer look at Trump and Erdogan’s relations and what they might tell us about the relative dominance of the various factions within MAGA. Finally, I looked at the Sex and the City-style social media campaign launched by Germany’s former Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who recently assumed the presidency of the UN General Assembly, and revisit her concept of so-called “feminist foreign policy”, a clever rebrand of militarism and liberal imperialism.
