Breakingviews - Here is how Europe can get its act together The continent is menaced by Russia, bullied by the US and squeezed by China. Brexit divided it, while far-right nationalism rots it from within. Europe can still pull itself together. But it needs to ...

Reuters comment on how Europe can get its act together www.reuters.com/commentary/b...

Knowledge is how we win against Brexit The antidote to lies is the truth. Britain left the EU because the public were systematically misled. Many now recognise this, but millions still do not. When the truth becomes widely understood, the UK can reset its view of the EU. A fresh start. A chance to see Europe not through myths, but through facts. […]

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

Strategic Sovereignty: Diversify critical supply chains

Cybersecurity: Protect critical infrastructure as top national priority

Cognitive Resilience: Shared narratives that strengthen societal cohesion

What’s your next move to collaborate to close this vulnerability before another systemic shock?

Action over Reaction: Instead of only correcting disinformation, we must also shape narratives that are both understandable and capable of uniting us.

We must radically redefine our understanding of security and remodel structures that were designed for peaceful times. These dated structures now allow our adversaries to utilise attack vectors to systematically exploit our structural weaknesses.

China's power lies in the global supply chains. Cutting off the supply of essential items like antibiotics, rare earth elements, or critical semiconductors has devastating and immediate consequences.

It does not take two parties to be in conflict; Russia is already waging war against the West.

Russia's playbook relies on targeted cyberattacks, sabotage (specifically of subsea cables and critical infrastructure), disinformation, and sowing division within our societies. That’s the new frontline.

The debate about military "readiness" is crucial, yet it overlooks an inconvenient truth: We are already at war.

In the 21st century, war does not require a formal declaration. It is hybrid and targets the systemic vulnerabilities of our societies. It does not take two parties to be in conflict.

Germany’s new €377B military wish list A new procurement blueprint seen by POLITICO shows Germany’s plan to become the backbone of the continent’s defense revival.

The Bundeswehr plans to buy 400 Tomahawk Block Vb cruise missiles for roughly €1.15 billion, along with three Lockheed Martin Typhon launchers valued at €220 million — a combination that would give Germany a 2,000-kilometer strike reach.

New EUISS Analysis written by Ondřej Ditrych: 'The northern frosts: The EU should contain and unpower Russia in the Arctic'

As Moscow's threat to European security grows, the EU must make the Arctic a strategic priority, constraining Russia's revenues & countering its hybrid campaigns, argues @ditrych.bsky.social. 🧵 www.iss.europa.eu/publications...
