Let me say it out loud -
virtually all the scenarios I am familiar with (Svalbard, Finnmark, Gotland, Utens-Dauganspils-Ignalina, Brest-Siedlce-Minsk Mazowiecki-Warsaw, even Suwalki) are scenarios that are a real, absolutely realistic threats after the war in Ukraine is over.

While Russia is suffering horrendous casualties in Ukraine and failing by most metrics, European states perceive it as an existential threat—and are frantically preparing for an attack.
In my new piece for @foreignpolicy.com, I make sense of this paradox.

A Russia-NATO War Would Look Nothing Like Ukraine
Moscow will seek to avoid a full-on war and focus on breaking the bloc’s resolve.

Latest piece in @theatlantic.com Partly inspired by Signal scandal. Here we have Trump’s court speaking their uncensored views on Europe and Europeans should take them at their word. It might allow Europe to save itself, and save the USA in the process. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Europe Should Take the Trump Administration at Its Word
After following America’s lead for 80 years, the continent’s democracies do not recognize the danger now before them.

Trump regime considers abandoning the post of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), the top military job within NATO.
They are also considering scaling back a previously planned increase in force presence in Japan.

Trump admin considers giving up NATO command that has been American since Eisenhower

Honoured to have spoken on Silicon Curtain earlier today. Big heart out to Jonathan for a great conversation and warp-speed editing and release.
There's no question that Trump intends to impose a surrender of Ukraine to Russia's terms - their maximalist demands, with no pressure on Russia for concessions. @ehunterchristie.bsky.social - youtu.be/C9IHHv46tUk

The Mother of All Threads on Musk-Moscow collusion.
Essential reading.
Essential reading.
34/ Musk did not turn on Ukraine, the EU, NATO—even the United Nations—organically.
He was _turned_—after he began jonesing to move his businesses into Russia (partly due to pandemic issues) and after he began having clandestine contacts with Putin.
From that point in, everything changed for Musk.

A poem by Eduardo Montes-Bradley
A Rider at the Oval
A stranger rode into the hall of power,
a weary traveler from a battered land.
He came not to beg, but to stand,
bearing the weight of his people's sorrow.
Yet cruelty met him at the door,
words like stones, cold and sharp,

This is clutching at straws at this point. Trump's hold on power is strong enough that he can pursue policies that voters don't want.
The real test is actual rebellion, from Republicans in Congress, from corporate donors, from right-wing media, from large numbers of Trump voters.
I don't see that.

The government in #Norway earned USD 114 billion in 2024, from extraordinary oil revenues due to the war in #Ukraine.
They give only 2% of this in support to ua, who are dying by the thousands to protect our democracy.
