I shared #Estonia’s perspective on Russia’s aggression King's College London: 🔹Next week will mark 1000 days of Russia’s full scale war & Putin has not changed his plans. 🔹Russia’s aggression is a global threat,not regional. 🔹Putin is the best salesman for NATO membership.

"Russia is preparing for the next level of aggression… That’s why we need to stop Putin." The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia, Margus Margus Tsahkna, discussed the war in Ukraine and the threat posed by Russia, Iran & North Korea at an event hosted by Centre for Grand Strategy.

My latest commentary for @engelsbergideas argues that it's time to raise our “nuclear deterrence IQ.” By understanding the complexities of deterrence, we can foster informed discussions, better plan for contingencies, and prevent nuclear catastrophe— our ultimate shared goal.
