A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and other insiders in multiple countries, this exclusive account details how the US and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans ...

I've been working on this for ages in various countries: the story of the intelligence buildup to Putin's 2022 invasion. How did the US and Britain find out so much, and why were Europe and Ukraine sceptical.

It's a long one:

Quote from the piece by Rosalind Dixon: “[I]t is part of a project of superficial or selective implementation or rights, or else, the co-optation of female leaders into the anti-feminist, anti-democratic project.”

🚨 New symposium on “Abusive Feminism”🚨

ROSALIND DIXON kicks it off by unpacking the concept:

how anti-feminist, would-be authoritarians use feminist ideas and language to advance and legitimate their own sexist, authoritarian projects.

Quote from our published article by author PAULINA MILEWSKA: “Narwocki may not serve as a mere extension of PiS leadership, indicating a potential shift in the dynamic between the presidency and the party.”

Poland has elected a new president: Karol Nawrocki, the PiS candidate, who now holds a strong mandate.

What will his election mean for Europe?

PAULINA MILEWSKA (@pamilewska.bsky.social) argues: more than you might think.
