Is Putin still in power and at war? What are the key trends that may determine the future of the EU and NATO? How’s the energy situation looking as winter looms?  Don Loomis will start the discussion with his perspective on Italy (based on his years of experience there) which recently had a sea change in its government. Mark Nunan will report briefly on central Europe and the countries’ historically slightly different views. Together, Don and Mark look forward to leading a lively discussion. We expect our usual congenial group of DMAers to join us, but all of you with an interest in or ties to Europe are welcome (including friends there who wish to Zoom in). Even if you are not a regular, be sure and join us. We need your valuable insights.
