Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.” He traveled to Ukraine as part of a GLOBSEC-organized delegation.On a recent trip to Kyiv, the talk along Ukraine’s corridors of power was decidedly different from those in Washington and European capitals. Far from focusing on the much-discussed counteroffensive Ukrainian forces are about to launch, senior government officials were instead more concerned about the country’s long-term future.“Ukraine will survive,” a very seasoned spymaster told a group of former senior officials who traveled to Kyiv from the United States and Europe. “The most difficult point will come after the war,” he added.At its core, the war in Ukraine is a fight not over territory but over the country’s future. Russia is determined to control Ukraine’s political destiny — if not its territory. And in this, Russian President Vladimir Putin is ...

Rishi Sunak is no tech bro

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:49:35 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak has drunk the Silicon Valley Kool-Aid, but the British prime minister is still an investor at heart.Since shooting to political prominence as Britain’s chief finance minister in February 2020 Sunak has been labeled Britain’s first tech-bro politician.He is often photographed sporting hi-tech gadgets, including his £180 smart mug, and was a devotee of the Peloton bike, whose streamed workouts gained a cult following during the COVID-19 lockdown.A stint studying at Stanford University — the elite Californian institution which counts Google co-founder Larry Page and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings among its alumni — changed his life, he once boasted. Stanford “teaches you to think bigger,” he told The Twenty Minute VC podcast in 2021. He met his wife Akshata Murty, the daughter of the founder of Indian multinational IT company Infosys, there too.Sunak’s budgets have been packed with innovation-friendly fiscal policies from tax breaks for cloud computing to m...

‘Party soldier’ Mariya Gabriel returns to Bulgaria with EU baggage

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:49:35 GMT

BRUSSELS — Mariya Gabriel is hoping to take charge of a country that hardly knows her, leaving a town that knows her all too well.The European Commissioner for research and innovation was picked last week to become Bulgaria’s next prime minister by the leader of her party Boyko Borissov, aiming to break a political deadlock after five consecutive elections in two years failed to produce a stable coalition.If she can form a government, the 43-year-old will be departing the town that made her career to become the newest face at the European Council table.She will leave behind a mixed reputation as a young, dynamic commissioner with a genuine passion for technological progress, but one who lacked the gravitas to advance her agenda and who would push her staff to breaking point. She has lost 19 staffers, roughly the number of an entire commission cabinet, since 2019, with one official referring to her team as the “swing door cabinet.” Former staffers told POLITICO she would ...

Red Sox swept by Cardinals

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:49:35 GMT

For the 16th time in their last 18 games, a Red Sox starter lasted at least five innings.That’s the good news from Sunday night’s series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals.The bad news is pretty much everything else: the starter, a shaky bullpen, a quiet lineup, and a series loss turned into a series sweep with a 9-1 drubbing.Corey Kluber took the mound for his eighth start of the season, and continued proving he’s no longer the formidable two-time Cy Young pitcher he was in the mid-2010s.Over five innings, he allowed four earned runs on seven hits, including a pair of absolutely clobbered home runs, each of which traveled at least 425 feet.“Poor fastball command” was the culprit, he told reporters postgame. “I’m making too many mistakes.”His manager agreed. “Command was off today,” Alex Cora said, but added, “He battled… He gave us five.”While it was the 37-year-old right-hander’s fifth consecut...
