Monde diplomatique « ya til une menace russe? »

Survival, the journal of IISS, kindly published a shortened version of the speech I gave to the defence event of the AI summit at the École militaire in February. It starts with a reflection on Europe's first major AI summit—in Paris in 1951. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🧵 I've been reviewing many of the past year's US & European military & intelligence assessments of how long it would take Russia to rebuild its military capability and the timeline on which any threat to NATO could unfold. A brief thread below which summarises these assessments.

Eurodeterrent: A Vision for an Anglo-French Nuclear Force - War on the Rocks Recently published Signal discussions in which senior Trump administration officials admit they “hate bailing out” America’s “pathetic” European allies

If Europe can't count on Washington, should it turn to London and Paris instead?

An update on the war following a recent trip. The situation has improved compared with Fall 2024. Russian offensive momentum slowed significantly over the winter, though it is premature to claim that the front has stabilized, especially following AFU withdrawal in Kursk. /1

1. This isn't a game of who has the most warheads.

2. If Europe needs more warheads, we can do that.

Worth revisiting Vipin Narang's analysis earlier this week (in his newsletter with @pranayrvaddi.bsky.social ) on the upsides of U.S. extended deterrence.

Le Collimateur, c'est bien, c'est bon, c'est utile.
Et aussi, ça s'écoule gratuitement, à croire que c'est un service public.

Musk claims DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials disagree. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.”

That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social.

“There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

Reality check.
Thank you, Financial Times.

🇺🇦 La cote de confiance du président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky s'élève à 57%, après trois ans d'invasion russe, et non à 4%, comme l'a affirmé son homologue américain Donald Trump, selon un sondage publié mercredi en Ukraine #AFP

La France si elle était occupée aujourd’hui en mêmes proportions que l’Ukraine

RS-26 and 9M729. Where does that number come from? Press reports from 2019?

Not as consequential? Russia violating its treaty commitments by testing, producing and fielding two then-forbidden INF-range systems seems pretty consequential to me

EU defence industry problems:
EU Member States are not procuring European defence products (<50%), too much fragmentation, not enough production capacity, lack of interoperability and need to meet NATO standards…⬇️
