Important read: nor "Russia first" under Obama, neither "Russia second" policy under Trump will make America great again. It will make Russian empire great again. American weakness always attracks Russian (and Chinese) new aggression. America wake up! bushcenter.org/publications/a…

Shashank Joshi The Kremlin’s approach is to just sit back, watch it all burn, and pick up the pieces.

Great book - you should read it! I already did (thx to an early copy) & it’s terrific - fresh, insightful & well written. Oliver Moody draws important lessons from the Baltic region to show what’s at stake in the battle for Europe’s future - & how we win it.

The “underlying cause” of the “crisis” is that Russia is led by a dictator who demands its neighbours be incorporated into his sphere of influence. Neither Ukraine nor its European allies can accept his ultimatum. Hard to square this circle. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cgj5…

My colleague Melania Parzonka explains how, counter-intuitively, Ukraine can now start exporting arms - at no detriment to its war effort, and of real benefit to its economy and R&D. politico.eu/article/europe…
