- Last year, I was interviewed for a @frontlinepbs.bsky.social documentary about Germany's far right, with a nod to Russia and the US. The documentary came out last month and makes for deeply uncomfortable viewing. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

- The producers were able to get access to and interview key figures in the AfD, including Björn Höcke and Maximilian Krah. The documentary traces Russia's ties to the AfD, and takes the AfD's social media strategy under the loop - scary.
- I discuss how far right parties have become part of the political process in much of Europe, and how Russia is using FR politicians to weaken social cohesion and divide and destabilise Europe. And of course, the ideological convergence between MAGA and the European far right.
- It's not exactly a holiday film, but worth watching especially given the US National Security Strategy. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...
