🚨 Szereg brytyjskich komisji wyborczych od wielu godzin czeka na potwierdzenie protokołów wyborczych od Państwowej Komisji Wyborczej.

Bez potwierdzenia nie mogą wyjść i rozejść się z lokalu, w którym pracują od 35 godzin.

I am very pleased to be moderating this timely conversation on Europe's new security architecture with Camille Grand and Douglas Barrie: iiss.org/events/2023/10…

Read Camille Grand’s excellent new paper for the IISS News Missile Dialogue Initiative on the future of European conventional and nuclear defence and deterrence and the place for arms control, which includes this nifty graph of NATO members’ planned missile capabilities.

The latest report by Camille Grand for IISS News is worth your time.

Excellent overview of missile capabilities/missile defense/boosting NATO’s deterrence & defense options.

It is also a rare piece that offers a linkage between D&D and arms control.
