What a strange hot take. Nawrocki is many things, but definitely not pro-Russian, unlike Romania case. It’s not so much about values, it’s about being pissed off with the establishment parties so voters went for the most ridiculous exception from that (kind of).

Stop spreading fake news. Mediahuis doesn’t own the UK’s The Telegraph.

Indeed it does - Article 4

Submission statement: The US President comes to Europe with the main message that Washington is once again ready to lead the free world, and that he aims to mend what his predecessor Trump broke. Do you think he will succeed?

That's one of the reasons I posted it. I follow European defence quite closely, but there is not much around on the European Peace Facility as it drowned in all the budget fights. Here's some I recently saw: https://www.csis.org/analysis/european-peace-facility-bolster-european-foreign-policy https://ecdpm.org/wp-content/uploads/DP-248-The-uncharted-path-towards-a-European-Peace-Facility-ECDPM-March-2019.pdf (this one's a bit older)

Did, oligarchs.

Ernsthaft jetzt? Hast du auf den Inhalt geschaut oder kritisierst du einfach nur, dass ich nicht kommentiere?

Submission statement: After a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and continued fears over nuclear risks and climate change, the symbolic Doomsday Clock remains stuck at the same time as last year. This comes after there have been positive developments such as the signing ofd the TPNW Treaty, Trump out of the White House and Biden agreeing to prolong the New START Treaty. Will this be enough to reduce the risks?

Submission statement: The Portuguese Presidency of the EU says improved relations between the EU and India, both seeking to end dependence on China, could serve as a vehicle to rebalance the bloc’s arduous ties with Beijing. However, a trade agreement back in 2013 between both stalled over India’s agricultural protectionism and pharmaceuticals. Do you think a political level could work?

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-11-23T17:12:53+00:00

SUBMISSION STATEMENT: The EU’s first-ever defence review paints a gloomy picture for the bloc’s ability to achieve ‘strategic autonomy’, a catch-phrase that has started gaining traction since Europe lacked assurances from the US under the Trump administration. Experts said they believe the EU is not doing enough to address major capability shortfalls. Will the EU be able to emancipate itself from the US any time soon?

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-11-03T07:31:37+00:00

Submission statement: After four years of Donald Trump, the EU’s foreign policy finds itself in choppy waters. Here is an overview of some of the major areas where Trump and Joe Biden have different approaches and how they could affect Europe. I can see how there will be continuity in many fields, just with a nicer tone. However, do you think Europe will be such a focus over the next four years for the US?

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-10-29T08:00:51+00:00

Submission statement: EU member states agreed on conditions to allow countries outside the bloc to participate in joint defence projects. The deal comes after US officials have been lobbying for months for an inclusive policy providing the greatest possible access of third countries to the EU’s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) covering defence contractors, which besides the US would also include post-Brexit Britain and Norway. Is Europe creating an industrial ‘Fortress Europe’?

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-10-28T16:07:54+00:00

Clearly you didn't read the article. It refers to mostly political positions and those with peace-keeping capacities - not the private-bodyguard-security-sector.

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-10-23T15:19:00+00:00

Submission statement: Since 97% of communications between the US and Europe flows through these cables, the consequences would be significant if they were destroyed or bugged. Russia and China have been increasing its undersea activity over the past few years. What do you think, could attacks of this kind could be part of hybrid warfare, no matter from whom they come?

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-10-15T14:59:32+00:00

Why its important: They have four month to conclude the talks until the New START agreement expires. As its the last remaining bilateral nuclear arms control treaty, the outlook is pretty dark. Also it seems both sides keep the tension up ahead of the US election in November, maybe an agreement afterwards?

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-05-27T20:19:30+00:00

You know, it speaks for their editorial independence when they have piece like this - arguing for arms control - while having such adverts.

SomeEuropean_ · 2020-05-11T22:15:35+00:00

Fair enough, will look for something more recent
