Good! That we forced #Ukraine to fight with a hand tied behind its back for so long was obscene... politico.eu/article/ukrain…

Our times most resemble the pre-WW1 era, rather than the 1930s — read more in my latest piece for ⁦Brussels Signal⁩ 👇 brusselssignal.eu/2024/05/pre-wa…

Yes. But where’s the action? Why isn’t there a concerted plan to raise #France ’s defence spending to 3%-5% of GDP? Why is there not more – a lot more – French assistance for #Ukraine ?

This is a really serious problem. I explained why, here:

Nonsense. #EU membership has had no effect on how EU countries have responded to #Russia , #China or #Iran . Some EU nations have been assertive; others have been passive. The #UK has been more robust than most, whether in arming the Ukrainians or chastising the Houthis...

Much as I welcome #Poland catching up with the #UK , Poland would have to grow phenomenally to overtake Britain by 2029...

Indeed. The idea that slavery made the #UK rich is truly absurd. Industrialisation made Britons rich... telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Very pleased to have contributed to this report on an important initiative aimed at bolstering European security.

Looking forward to reading this report properly - from first glance looks like excellent work from Council on Geostrategy, PISM and Ukrainian Prism. The 🇬🇧 and 🇵🇱 work closely in support of 🇺🇦 now, but the format has huge potential to blossom further.

A highly recommended read - the result of collaboration between a British-Ukrainian-Polish team of experts. 👇
