NATO got better the day Finland joined the Alliance!

Fears of Russia’s collapse in Biden and Scholz administrations run deep and can't be changed by telling stories of Russian war crimes alone. Leaders need to imagine a Ukrainian victory and plan accordingly? Jessica Berlin #NAFO #NAFO fellas Mriya Report - youtu.be/criLG8pCyVE

But Ambassador Ambassador Bridget A. Brink why is the aspiration only to 'keep them in the fight'? Why isnt it 'to help Ukraine win'?

Agree with Andrea Kendall-Taylor. Defeat 'Russia First' is a strategic prioritization that will isolate Iran and deter China. Same as when Churchill and FDR agreed on a 'Germany First' strategy in 1942.

Thanks Latika M Bourke for the chance to talk over a map with you!

It may be weeks before we see significant battlefield effects of this decision but the strategic effect will be felt immediately…in the Kremlin where they now realize their plan to wait for us to quit has failed…and across Ukraine 🇺🇦!

Rick Wilson Russia has been barely able to make any gains over months of Ukraine's war effort running on fumes, as I note here. Just imagine how much of a difference $60 billion for Ukraine will make! Game-changer!! realcontextnews.com/sad-realities-…

Deliverables at the NATO Summit this July in Wash DC? Against the backdrop of unchecked missile attacks by Russia against Ukrainian civilians and power infrastructure while US/NATO does nothing, a ‘celebration’ of 75 years protecting Europe will seem inappropriate.

This is indeed sheer misunderstanding of the very principle of deterrence.
And could someone explain why downing Russian missiles will increase the risk of a larger scale war? Just the contrary actually.
High time to stop de-escalating.

What a powerful photo.

We've got to muster the political will, industrial capacity, economic leverage, and military capability to defeat Russia first in order to isolate/deter Iran and deter China from making a terrible miscalculation.

A Tale of Two Raids: Ukraine Has No Nuclear Weapons So Must Suffer , by Phillips P. OBrien open.substack.com/pub/phillipspo…

The only accurate statement by J.D. Vance is that the Administration has no plan to win the war in UKR. The rest is wrong. He's from Ohio and says the US can't produce what's needed? And if war was about math, we would have won in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

When will they realize that Russia is already at war with us?

Europe has to let go of the idea of Russia included in an all-European security architecture. The focus must be to make #EU and #NATO as strong and resilient as possible, and from that position, deal w Russia, I argued in a panel on World Order at DEF #DelphiForum
