The most important outcome of the Paris meeting is the announcement that the European Commission will soon provide a plan on how to redirect unused COVID recovery funds for strengthening European defence capabilities.

As the interest in Greenland is rising, take a look👇

1/As the „looming US invasion of Greenland etc.” is widely discussed in the media, it’s worth to read MccMaster.

We need to get used to a different communication style of the incoming president Trump 🙃

For part 1 of a 2-part special BerlinsideOut episode, @bctallis.bsky.social & Aaron G. Burnett welcome @jgotkowska.bsky.social, Jakub Jaraczewski & Kai-Olaf Lang to get into the particularly important, but historically difficult & tense 🇩🇪-🇵🇱 relationship. berlinsideout.podigee.io/13-germany-a...

Agree w @jgotkowska.bsky.social 'As long as it takes' is not an objective. Clear aim should be to ensure Ukraine recovers all its territory, to 1991 borders; and the West, especially Europe, needs to provide the resources to achieve that. Less than that, & Putin/Russia will be back for more.

1. After recent discussions in Vilnius&Berlin I think one needs to clearly say that Western strategy devised by🇺🇸🇩🇪, guided by fear of escalation and betting on “supporting Ukraine as long as it takes” =creating best conditions for negotiation= may turn out to be a failure.

sehr hörenswerte Doppelfolge @ostausschuss.bsky.social mit @kassymbekova.bsky.social zu Zentralasien (und damit einem Blind Spot hier in D) mit zum letzten Mal Gabriele Woidelko. Weiter dabei @jcbehrends.bsky.social @efdavies.bsky.social @gresselgustav.bsky.social

Thanks to @cnas.bsky.social for making @jgotkowska.bsky.social @lianafix.bsky.social and me come together again on the #BrusselsSproutsPodcast to discuss the State of European Aid to Ukraine - do listen in here: brusselssprouts.podbean.com/e/the-state-...

My latest piece for „Strategic Europe“ @Carnegie Europe on how in the midst of several wars Europe/the EU cannot afford a wait-and-see attitude towards US position on Ukraine aid t.co/NbvcTQjsRI

Das kuriose daran ist, dass - wegen der jahrelangen Vernachlässigung & wegen des Unwillens der Bundesregierung den regulären BMVg-Haushalt zu steigern - das politische Ziel 2% BIP mit dem Sondervermögen zu erfüllen die Modernisierung der Bundeswehr gefährdet. 🙈

Wenn ich mir @Sicherheitspod über den Verteidigungshaushalt anhöre, mache ich mir noch mehr Sorgen ob Europa Ihren Teil an Verpflichtungen in der NATO erfüllt.

🟢 Russia's invasion of Ukraine reaffirmed #Poland's commitment to its security policy and prompted more investment in defence. The country has now become an important player on NATO's eastern flank. Joanna Maria Stolarek interviews @jgotkowska.bsky.social ➡️ pl.boell.org/en/2023/09/2...

Personally, I would never think that AfD might be second biggest party in most populous West German federal states. Germany is a prosperous, wealthy nation.
It’s hard for me to understand.
