I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

The Baltics were ridiculed for being "paranoid" when they were desperate to join NATO after the demise of the USSR. About time to listen to the most vulnerable countries on the Russian cordon sanitaire that have been over-run by dueling powers since the 13th century more times than you have fingers.

Trump would like nothing more than boosting oil and gas sales to Europe. The smart thing to do is request a helping hand from Trump by pointing out that it’s his own admirers, from Budapest to Bratislava, who stand in the way of a bigger order book. on.ft.com/4hrTQ6U

Great point. We don't need to buy a million drones. That would be a huge mistake. We need the capacity to produce them, the supply chains to do so reliable, the institutional agility to be able to modify them in days & weeks in response to emerging battlefield conditions.

Interesting paper on Russia using the gig economy for sabotage ops. “Available evidence suggests that Moscow has expanded its recruitment of agents-saboteurs online to go beyond the usual suspects. …Russia’s new model of sabotage appears to more closely resemble the key tenets of the ‘gig economy”
