Yesterday Minister Pistorius presented #Germany|s new Defence Policy Guidelines which highlight the need for the armed forces to be #warfighting capable. Our allies will no doubt welcome this statement indicating realism & a new seriousness to live up to our commitments to #NATO

Immer wenn im Ministerium eine Frau auf eine B6-Position befördert wird, klagt jemand dagegen. Daraufhin bleiben die Stellen unbesetzt, bis das juristische Verfahren durch ist. Dieses Interview mit Pistorius ist wirklich hörenswert #WIIS20 WIIS.de

The NATO focus on 2%-GDP spending is like fighting the last war. Latest from me w/ Theresa Lütkefend American-German Institute at Defense News US and Europe must recalibrate the security partnership and enable Washington to avoid a strategic choice between Asia and Europe defensenews.com/opinion/2023/1…

To avoid a U.S. strategic choice between Asia and Europe, NATO should move from an abstract spending target to tangible commitments that erase over-dependence on scarce U.S. military capabilities. New article by Jeff Rathke and me in Defense News. defensenews.com/opinion/2023/1…

To let 🇺🇸 leaders meet their global security obligations, the 🇪🇺 not only has to spend more on defense – it also must spend in ways that shore up the transatlantic security bond, write Jeff Rathke & GPPi fellow Theresa Lütkefend. What that means in practice: defensenews.com/opinion/2023/1…

Excellent from Theresa Lütkefend and Jeff Rathke. This is precisely why the Vilnius pledge was to spend >2% of GDP on defence - more is going to be needed. NATO’s defence planning process is also setting out where the investment is needed, based on new plans for collective defence.

The power and limits of data for peace. My latest with EU Institute for Security Studies on 🇪🇺 conflict early warning, predictive models, intelligence assessments and foresight. Or, as the marketing pros would say: #AI in diplomacy: iss.europa.eu/content/power-…

Um transatlantische Lastenteilung nachhaltig zu gestalten, müssen Deutschland und seine europäischen Verbündeten nicht nur mehr, sondern auch gezielter Geld für Verteidigung ausgeben. Mehr dazu von Jeff Rathke und mir auf DIE ZEIT. zeit.de/politik/auslan…

"The U.S. and Europe must recalibrate their security partnership" from Jeff Rathke and Theresa Lütkefend is now available to read in German at DIE ZEIT:
