The US wants a strong Europe. Storms in Portugal. Dangerous websites for Valentine's Day.

On February 14, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, emphasized the historical and cultural ties between the US and Europe and said that the US does not want “the end of the transatlantic era” and wants a strong Europe. At the same time, he drew attention to the West’s mistakes, including deindustrialization, the “outsourcing” of sovereignty, uncontrolled migration, and a tough climate agenda that weakens Western countries. He also pointed to the UN’s inability to deal with global conflicts—conflicts it could, and still has the potential to prevent.

For Valentine’s Day, I’ll tell you about a tradition from the Minho region: the “lover’s scarf.” A woman would embroider a scarf with patterns, symbols of love (hearts, keys, doves), poems, and inscriptions, and give it to her beloved—often before his departure—as a confession and even an amulet. If a man wore the scarf, it meant he had accepted the relationship.
