- Good moment to repost my paper from last year, mapping the cards Europe could play in response to US coercion. Most of them could be played via the anti-coercion instrument. Digital services charges and (de facto) export controls are the keys. ecfr.eu/publication/...

- This is something I have been wondering about as well - not only putting NATO to the edge, but also the short attention span and threat of military action across the world (Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Iran...) must overstretch even US military forces.
- Europe is acting to deter us. On the one hand, this is totally ridiculous and huge waste of resources, time, and energy. On the other hand, it may save the NATO alliance... so 🤷♂️

- ''Als Europa druk wil uitoefenen op de VS kan het wijzen op de Amerikaanse schuld in Europa en Europese investeringen in de VS. Maar ook daar is het uitkijken voor escalatie met alleen maar verliezers'', zegt @louisevanschaik.bsky.social. www.bnr.nl/podcast/inhe...

- Slight change of focus from me but still highly relevant to security. Food security is well known, but the argicultural sector could also have a role in protecting CNI, freeing up capacity of the police and military.

- For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
- The attack on Venezuela wasn’t about drugs or democracy. It was about oil. With Trump, it’s always about oil. But that’s yesterday’s obsession. China meanwhile is embracing renewables and winning the future. And that’s a problem. My latest for @politico.eu. www.politico.eu/article/the-...

- Good piece by @constelz.bsky.social. I'd add that there is also (probably correct) apprehension among the CDU/CSU that MAGA and maybe the whole republicans will shift their main cooperation partners in Europe from centre-right to far-right parties.
