24 years after 9/11—when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time—Russian drones in Polish airspace saw Warsaw call for Article 4. NATO’s defence commitments remain highly relevant. 🔗Read this paper on NATO's commitments by @fedefaziof.bsky.social: zenodo.org/records/1403...

Last week, I had the opportunity to present at the 2025 @eissnetwork.bsky.social Annual Conference. Grateful to the organizers and all the participants for such a valuable experience and feedback!

Federica Fazio has a dissenting take on The Hague Summit: the real winner is NATO, not Trump. In this blog, she analyses its outcomes through three lenses: a stronger, fairer, and more lethal NATO. Read it here: www.dcu.ie/blog/2151/di... @dublincityuni.bsky.social @fedefaziof.bsky.social

While I'm glad the NATO Summit was a success, using it as a platform for brushing aside the prohibition to use force – a core norm of international law – is problematic, as I stress in this brief interview. NATO's Article V is important for our security, but so is Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.

Been making this point too to academic colleagues traveling to the US - if you are anxious fly via Dublin or Shannon both with US immigration preclearance. Your US fight then lands as domestic.

#Canada faces pressure from the US to become its '51st state,' but there's another path: joining the #EU. With shared values and interests, Canada could strengthen ties with Europe to counter the threat of economic coercion. Read more by Dr. @iancooper.bsky.social: bit.ly/3FtrBXX

The total cut off of deliveries to Ukraine is shockingly punitive. This is money already spent, equipment already built by industry for Ukraine, much of it has little utility to the US military. And it is just going to be sitting there in warehouses idle, as Ukrainian forces fight on.

Excellent breakdown of the reality behind the ReArm EU initiative announced today, it's a step in the right direction but a small step

🚨🚨 Seems insane that this needs to be analysed, but this is a great and very insightful piece by @fedefaziof.bsky.social outlining what would happen in the still hopefully unlikely scenario that Trump would invade Greenland. 🧵 dcubrexitinstitute.eu/2025/01/what...

Thank you @irishlegal.com!

The EU needs to rethink its spending priorities to boost defense budgets, NATO's new Secretary-General Mark Rutte told the European Parliament today.

Blog: 'What happens if Trump invades Greenland?' In this piece, Federica Fazio explores #Trump’s recent threats toward Greenland (and Canada) and analyses them through the lens of #NATO’s #Article5 and Article 42.7 of the #TEU. Read it here: bit.ly/3PyHrlO @fedefaziof.bsky.social

Thank you, Prime Minister #Trudeau 😢🇨🇦

Just finished @pete-apps.bsky.social’s biography of #NATO. It’s been a truly insightful and fascinating read. Highly recommend!

👀

Following this morning’s piece in the @financialtimes.com, Sec Gen #MarkRutte asks the governments of European NATO allies to spend less on pensions, healthcare and social security systems and prioritize defense spending

The secret talks are partly in anticipation of the return of Donald Trump, who in his first presidency threatened to take the US out of Nato if Europe did not spend more on defence. www.ft.com/content/c494...
