Let us be clear, Level of Ambition 3 is now longer enough. That needs to be in the rear view mirror by the end of 2026. We need to plan for far more than €3bn, perhaps twice or three times that. www.rte.ie/news/2025/02...

Indeed it is, other EU countries should pay for the construction of more French built SSNs, and crew them and place them under French command.

Agreed. I think we are witnessing the end of the American ‘ally’. But this means that Europe has to now contend with a belligerent America alone. The ‘west’ is over. In the Trumpian era, Europe is on its own www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It seems to me that the Service Police are not working. And the Ministry of Defence Police should always run these investigations. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Gosh darn he is so stupid. Military dopes throughout history have thought that sheer willpower, machismo, elan (or whatever) win wars rather than resources, planning, administration, and the alignment of ends, ways, and means. And they are pretty much always wrong.

The names of those giving these orders will eventually be revealed. Some will be arrogant enough to think we will forget - that they can holiday in the Adriatic or shop in Paris. We should make sure that arrogance is misplaced.

I reviewed @lucatrenta.bsky.social excellent book, The President's Kill List, for RUSI: doi.org/10.1080/0307... I loved it, in part, b/c it acknowledges the cognitive dissonance btw a formal ban on assassination and policies that permit killing foreign officials for political gain. Go read it!

There’s a corrupt bargain in the offing. Chunks of E Europe for Taiwan S China Sea and Panama & more Some will reluctantly accept it because it appears to avoid war. But it actually cements war itself at the heart of our international system. All the suffering & lessons of the 20th C forgotten

How do you not just laugh at an opening assertion like this? Heath lost a general election. By a hairsbreadth. If he'd managed a deal with the Liberals, he'd have stayed PM. He actually got 0.7% more votes than Wilson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Februar...

Trump: "Pearl Harbor was poorly defended for a Sunday... A real disgrace. They had months to be ready, truly. And if I was President, this wouldn't have happened. We could have easily cut a deal."

If the character of the Trump admin was unclear during its first couple weeks, the last week or so has made it perfectly plain: We're in the midst of an unprecedented assault on the rule of law in the US, our institutions & national interests. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/laughing-off...

Trump has been a Russian asset since the 80s and was the reason I went onto Twitter in 2016 to try to warn people. He is a vile sociopath and the lies he is spreading are straight from the Kremlin. What is most important is Europe devising a plan and putting it into action ASAP
