Hi, I’m a political analyst and strategy advisor. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, China to Iran, Rwanda to Myanmar and beyond, my work has taken me to the front lines and behind the scenes of the crises shaping our times. And it’s quite clear: in the fight for the soul of the 21st Century, dictators won this past decade. But democracies can still win the century. This Substack is about how.
I’ll use this space to write about Russia’s war on Ukraine and its implications for European and global security, German and US politics (my home countries), and whatever else is on my mind from the news of the day.
Above all, let’s connect. You can ask questions and engage with me and each other on the discussion board, request topics for future articles, and help shape this space. Looking forward to see you there!
