OMG, guys! I apparently got an honorary fella made for me! I am so honored and happy! 😁 Thank you very much, Fembot Fellarina, EconFella! ✊🏻🇬🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦

Discussing security issues at the #LennartMeriConference in Tallinn, my message is that Sweden, and Finland, as Nato members changes the security situation in the Baltic Sea to the better. The Swedish Navy brings assets and experience on how to operate in this environment. (1/2)

Sad news, upon hearing of the passing yesterday of Commander Nigel 'Sharkey' Ward, a true hero of the Falklands War... Rest in Power, Sir.

Lena Berger Man überlegt dann immer, ob er sich so dumm stellt oder wirklich so dumm ist. Ich glaube ja, es ist Ersteres. Natürlich weiß er, dass die erweiterter Luftraumverteidigung des Westens der 🇺🇦 nicht mit NATO-Flugzeugen, sondern mit Flugabwehrsystemen auf NATO-Boden passieren würde.

This doesn't change anything, but it's interesting that Ministers keep openly disagreeing with the Chancellor.

There seems to be no coalition discipline on this issue, but the Greens/FDP also don't want to threaten a government breakup over it.

I am already looking forward to our next interaction. No doubt, after each discussion, there is a need for concrete action to follow. A few months ago, it was the chant “Release the Leopard/Ghepard!” Now, it is “Release Taurus!” and next must be “Release the Nordic pension

For the entire internet, can I say, “Boo Hoo”

And what a day it was!
So many great conversations.

😂 a day that will live in the annals of Nordic-Baltic cooperation infamy

Great to see the brilliant Rihards Kols at the #LennartMeriConference - and you ll be hearing more from him soon on #BerlinsideOut

“Greed is stupid” is a strategic lesson the free world has to learn domestically & in our foreign policy.

We often hear that Germany and other EU nations are hesitant to seize Russian state assets due to fears Russia will retaliate against German and EU businesses.

This “retaliation” is already happening—so yet another argument is out the window.

Act. Just do it.

Butter vs guns is a false dichotomy. Soon we won’t have butter if we do not have guns.

Another important index, this time, on the crucial pillar of democracy - freedom of the press.

Happy that #Estonia is in the Top 10, again.

Das chronische 'zu spät, zu wenig' hat Gründe. Scholz will nicht wahrhaben, dass dieser Krieg auch unser Krieg ist, den wir mit der 🇺🇦gewinnen oder verlieren. Sein Zögern entspringt der Furcht vor Eskalation + der Rücksicht auf seine eigene Partei. Den Preis zahlt die Ukraine.
