Spotted at a good bookstore in Helsinki … #NATO #YouCanStillGetIt

As Copenhagen's summit week concludes, disruptive #drone incursions set the tone and brought Moscow's hybrid war to #EUCO. We asked @rynning.bsky.social about the significance of the operation, how the continent should respond, and the view from #Denmark. 🔗 shorturl.at/S6koq @d-ias.bsky.social

Now that Russia is poking #NATO in the eye, risking major war, you might want to know more about this political-military alliance: 50% OFF!! NATO: From Cold War to Ukraine, a History of the World's Most Powerful Alliance www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

It's tough to lead from the front, I tell @bloomberg.com about #Denmark, #drones and #HybridWar. But seriously, where would we be if nobody stepped forward. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Og i forlængelse heraf også seneste afsnit af "Udsyn", hvor @rynning.bsky.social fortolker den nuværende situation for Europa og NATO. bsky.app/profile/tine...

These bookstores in The Hague … clearly on top of their game 😉 Now that NATO’s Hague summit is being brandished as ‘historic’, you might want to read about the preceding 76 years. It’s all there in “NATO: From Cold War to Ukraine” (Yale UP) 💪 #NATO @d-ias.bsky.social @yalebooks.bsky.social

Great thing about #NATO - mirror image works, too. Greetings from The Hague. Summit tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I NATO skal europæerne lære at leve med Trump – og det bliver dyrt. Interview med Sten Rynning, der står bag en rost bog om militæralliancen, forud for ugens skæbnesvangre topmøde i Haag. www.information.dk/udland/2025/... #eudk #NATOsummit #NATO

Probably the best bargain of the day: 75% OFF #NATO audio book: NATO: From Cold War to Ukraine, a History of the World's Most Powerful Alliance url:https://www.audiobooks.com/promotions/promotedBook/765290/nato-from-cold-war-to-ukraine-a-history-of-the-worlds-most-powerful-alliance?refId=198628

I was really delighted to join @snellarthur.bsky.social‬ on @disordershow.bsky.social, to discuss the history of #NATO. You can hear my episode at tr.ee/ksicr-3Wty

Busy day at @d-ias.bsky.social with Joseph Stiglitz. Here in the hands of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation. Open lecture at 2 pm… Maybe see you there?

Not a friendly action: ‘The U.S. is stepping up its intelligence-gathering efforts regarding Greenland, drawing America’s spying apparatus into President Trump’s campaign to take over the island’

#NATO's krise under Trump er historisk. Går det galt, vil Europa opleve, at 1949-2025 var en parentes, og at fortidens magtbalancespil vil tegne fremtiden. Min kronik i Børsen. @d-ias.bsky.social @sdu.dk @cwswarstudies.bsky.social borsen.dk/nyheder/opin...

At Norwegian MFA to inquire about #NATO policy and interaction between external expertise and policy development. Part of our Mind-the-Gap research project. @d-ias.bsky.social @norwaymfa.government.no @cwswarstudies.bsky.social

Home Alone - how #Trump threatens to destroy #NATO and leave #Europe in a mess. My comments to the #SidneyMorningHerald. www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

Between defense funds and capability there is strategy and organization, and Europe on its own has neither. Europe thus needs time and continued, if difficult, partnership with the United States. My take below. #NATO #EuropeanUnion #Russia #Ukraine www.courthousenews.com/europe-on-ed...

My views on #NATO’s miserable condition in the era of Trump II. It’s in Dutch, so buckle up. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Chicago Cultural Center - once a library, now simply a beautiful experience

NBA game yesterday. Bulls did well, but in last five minutes, Cavaliers settled it. Great game 😎

The convergence between the plans of regional dominance of #Trump and #Putin is alarming. It makes you wonder why.

I never thought it would come to this. Trump’s America is from Venus. Shameful, is what it is. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Standing with #Ukraine in Chicago

Good things are happening in Chicago #StandWithUkraine

Ruth Weiss, 100 years old, at DIAS to recount her experience with Nazism and later Apartheid: her family fled the former and she struggled against the latter. Memory matters, perhaps especially these days. Thank you for sharing. @d-ias.bsky.social

Novaya Gazeta editor, Kirill Martynov telling us at @d-ias.bsky.social about life as an ‘undesirable’ by the Russian government. Bravo for the courage to insist on decency and democracy.

Wonderful to be back at #NATO Defence College in Rome. I lectured on the alliance’s crisis management experience, but as could be expected, we talked a lot about NATO’s current challenges. It’s looking a bit tough.

Three years on, this war is not about to finish… www.wsj.com/world/trump-...

Robert, I hope you will enjoy the book. Given all that is happening, there is food for thought.

One of the great questions of our time is how Trump came to take over Putin’s talking points.

Maus. In Odense. For the magnificent World Festival. Celebrating knowledge and history. @wordfestivaldk @d-ias.bsky.social

Team “Mind the Gap” at work in Brussels, researching #NATO policymaking and the role and relevance of external expertise. Danish, Norwegian, NATO Internal Staff, and EU EEAS officials enlightened our project. #SvenBiscop helped make the workshop possible.

Great visit to the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) today - great to meet with director David Nirenberg and his outstanding team. @d-ias.bsky.social @sdu.dk

Einstein’s IAS (Institute for Advanced Study) office. His desk is by the window. Today in use by IAS postdocs - Einstein did not want it turned into a museum.

In 1947, the power of nuclear weapons led Albert Einstein to warn against “the outmoded concept of narrow nationalism.” In 1948, he won the One World Award - a golden globe. Small observations from a fascinating visit to the archives of IAS - The Institute of Advanced Study.

In Oslo, the major newspaper VG keeps a shattered display of its paper from July 22, 2011 - the day Anders Breivik set off a major bomb in Oslo and proceeded to Utøya to slaughter more innocent people.

Did you know that #Europe is in trouble? Maybe you did. But did you know that you can learn more when ambassador #JonasBeringLiisberg lectures at DIAS @d-ias.bsky.social? It is Wednesday November 11 at 1115. See you then! @sdu.dk @danishmfa.bsky.social www.sdu.dk/en/updates/d...

As we enter a new nuclear age, useful--and frightening--to recall how the idea of escalatory control is pretty fanciful. #nuclear #war #deterrence www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/m...

Should Team Biden have acted with greater speed in assisting #Ukraine? Military/budgetary surplus left for Team Trump at least suggests they could have. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

A new approach, but notice the countries most active in pursuing it. A club within the club. “Europe Can’t Make Ukraine Enough Weapons—So It’s Paying Kyiv to Do It” www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Ok!

The good news: #Trump cares enough about #NATO to designate new ambassador - a post currently vacant! apnews.com/article/trum...

Munich in the North - such is the ambition of the inaugural Anchorage Security and Defense Conference. Obviously, a major and important effort to build multinational Arctic awareness and cooperation.

Andrey Kozyrev looking back: the KGB should have been destroyed in 1991. Protesters “could have driven a stake through Dracula’s heart,” but by Yeltsin’s intervention, “it survived - both symbolically and practically.” meduza.io/en/feature/2...
