Looking forward to this book by @carolinedegruyter.bsky.social

So nice to be back in Tokyo this week to speak on European defence at the @iog_jp Geoeconomics Summit 2025 and present on allied conventional strike capabilities at the JASDF Air & Space Studies Institute. Thanks to everyone for having me!

Superb! Our researcher Lotje Boswinkel is in Tokyo and has just presented a paper on "Allied Conventional Strike Capabilities" at the JASDF Air and Space Studies Institute. A great and timely exchange! More info www.mod.go.jp/asdf/meguro/... @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social

A bit late, but here's my favourite reading from last week - excellent piece by @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social and @luissimonn.bsky.social for @csds.bsky.social: csds.vub.be/publication/...

New @csds.bsky.social policy brief with @luissimonn.bsky.social in which we explore four scenarios for US force posture in Europe, and the various dilemma’s and trade-offs that Europeans face moving forward 👉 csds.vub.be/publication/...

For those in Brussels - come join us next week!

What can Europeans do to strengthen deterrence should the U.S draw down its engagement in Europe? To find out listen to this terrific @csds.bsky.social podcast with @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social @elieperot.bsky.social & @danielfiott.bsky.social

Highly recommend this from @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social warontherocks.com/2025/03/euro...

My colleagues Lotje Boswinkel and Elie Perot have just published two superb papers that you should all read! Elie on France and revisiting deterrence: csds.vub.be/publication/... Lotje on long-range strike and Europe: warontherocks.com/2025/03/euro... Really brilliant!

I published a piece today with @warontherocks.bsky.social on Europe's need to invest more in long-range strike. I hope you enjoy the read! warontherocks.com/2025/03/euro...

Must-read piece by @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social for @warontherocks.bsky.social on why the European allies must step up their long range strike game cc: @csds.bsky.social warontherocks.com/2025/03/euro...

Good initiative from @schuetzt.bsky.social and @cemoll.bsky.social at @bertelsmannst.bsky.social to collect views across Europe on shifting transatlantic relations and potential troop deployments to 🇺🇦 I took a look at the debate taking place in the Netherlands 👉 globaleurope.eu/europes-futu...

I am really quite exhausted by the idea that the US has extended its security umbrella to Europe since ww2 out of the goodness of their hearts. Yes, Europe should have done more, especially over the last two decades, but let‘s not pretend that US foreign policy was always motivated by altruism.

What should 🇬🇧 future relationship with 🇪🇺 look like? We asked 8 experts in today's #BigAsk ✍️ @cerianbond.bsky.social, @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social, Prof. Amelia Hadfield, Dr Timothy Less, @james-rogers.bsky.social, @snellarthur.bsky.social, @gesineweber.bsky.social, @rgwhitman.bsky.social

In my new piece with @lotjeboswinkel.bsky.social, Luis Simón, and Hugo Meijer for @warontherocks.bsky.social, we ask whether Trump being in the White House again will unravel the ties that the US has cultivated in and between the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific. warontherocks.com/2024/12/alli...

Nice to see this out in French! With @luissimonn.bsky.social @csds.bsky.social
