“Russia has hardened as an adversary in ways that we probably hadn’t fully anticipated,” Hill said, arguing that Putin saw the Ukraine war as a starting point to Moscow becoming “a dominant military power in all of Europe”.

Couldn't agree more with this @adamtooze.bsky.social banger. "The scandal is not that European defence budgets have not already doubled. The scandal is that Europe spends so much and gets so little for it." The European defense enterprise is a total mess. www.ft.com/content/f450...

The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, third in line to become President of the United States, tacitly endorses a national secret police force, in the same vein as the Gestapo, KGB, or Stasi. We are well beyond a constitutional crisis.

Yesterday, we also learned about a significant part of the inner power dynamics of MAGA: Leverage and kompromat about the others is essential. Those aren't foundations of trust or acknowledgment. They work much more like Russia.

“However much Ukraine celebrates its new raiding prowess deep inside Russia, the victory has little immediate relevance to the front lines. For now, this aspect of the war remains its most difficult—and its most dangerous.” 🎁 economist.com/europe/2025/...

Chad standing up the the US was not on my bingo card for 2025... but here we are! The central African nation of Chad, one of the African countries targeted by Trump's travel ban has decided to hit back. It is is suspending all visas to US citizens as a matter of "reciprocity". bbc.in/43xR5gp

This needs to be understood. 👇 I'd add that Trump believes Putin to be his most important ally and that he will never break with him.

This needs to be put in further context: Russia is about to finish a new production facility that could boost its daily(!) drone strike capability to 300-350, acc. to Zelensky. Pulling this key technology at this time is sending a clear message: "We (the US) will drop Ukraine, no matter what."

“The big problem with the defence industrial space in Europe, as well as the US, is simple: the weapons currently produced are outrageously expensive, and available at very low number. We need 10-100 times more, and 10 times cheaper”

I'm gonna say something that is likely to piss off a lot of people but with the current social reality that we have, social media metrics are more important than citation count and part of the reason we are where we are is because prominent academics think they are above all this.

🇺🇸 The U.S. is pulling a key anti-drone technology from Ukraine, per WSJ. Last week, the Pentagon quietly told Congress that special detonators used by Ukraine to shoot down Russian drones will now be allocated to U.S. Air Force units in the Middle East.

So the President of the USA is reduced to being a messenger boy for the Russian dictator and begging for help. Please Vladimir, be nice…. How long until the next time some people start wondering when Trump will be hard on Russia. This is pathetic.

Jens Plötner, Architekt der gescheiterten Russland-Politik, wird Staatssekretär im BMVg – der klare Roderich Kiesewetter wird aus dem PKGr entfernt. Statt Lehren zu ziehen, kehrt die alte Moskau-Connection zurück. Sicherheitspolitisch verantwortungslos und ein fatales Signal an unsere Partner.

New data: Russian recruitment was quite successful in the first months of 2025. However, regional budget data suggests that there was a notable decline in recent weeks, from ~1,400 men per day to ~900 men per day. Read the full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/janisklu...

"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone." When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.
