Russiaโs war on Ukraine shakes nuclear securityโs future | On the Record
In an On The Record special from the Warsaw Security Forum, Adam Jasser speaks with Michael Carpenter, former Senior Director for Europe at the U.S. National Security Council. Trump has come to the conclusion that he wonโt be able to have a deal with Putin. Ukraine is not ready to capitulate โ and it shouldnโt, says Carpenter, warning that Russian propaganda tries to convince the world otherwise. He argues that Kyiv needs cutting-edge Western capabilities โ something the Trump administration has not provided at scale. Carpenter warns that Russiaโs aggression has sown the seeds of the NPTโs unraveling. The lesson drawn by many states is stark: give up your nuclear deterrent, and you are fair game. This dangerous shift risks fueling a new wave of nuclear proliferation. Carpenter also highlights the dangers of Washingtonโs isolationist turn: funding cuts for Ukraine and Taiwan send troubling signals, while China is quick to exploit perceived weakness. He calls for tougher sanctions enforcement, pointing to Russiaโs โshadow fleet,โ and urges Europe to assume greater responsibility for defense and deterrence. ๐ด Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/UFrlr77yff8 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.

The Fantasy of a European Reassurance Force for Ukraine
A European "reassurance force" for Ukraine risks being another notional "guarantee" offering little more than a false sense of security.
In efforts to end the #RussiaUkraineWar, talk is accelerating about a European โreassurance forceโ for Ukraine.

Ukraine Can Still Win
Western half measures have prolonged the war, but decisive action now could end it.
โInstead of prolonging the war by giving Ukraine too much military assistance, Kyivโs foreign allies have prolonged it by giving too little, and often with significant delays,โ argues @mikercarpenter.bsky.social.

Ukraine Can Still Win
Western half measures have prolonged the war, but decisive action now could end it.
Ukraine cannot win without โa fundamental shift in Western strategy, one that combines a large boost in military assistance with more robust economic measures to constrain Russiaโs war economy,โ argues @mikercarpenter.bsky.social.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

My small country, Estonia, population 1.3 million sent 2003-2014 over 2500 soldiers. 9 were killed in the line of duty. 109 wounded, half of them so seriously they could no longer lead a normal life.
In Iraq 2003-2009 we had more than 440 soldiers. 2 were killed. 18 seriously wounded.

This isnโt getting nearly enough attention.
Estonian navy is stopped at intercepting a shadow fleet vessel because a Russian Sukhoi Su-35 violated Estonian air space. This reduces even the implausible deniability to 0, which Russia has been relying on with the shadow fleet.
