“Threats reach the British Isles by sea, by air, and through cyberspace; the same means by which UK society and economy are connected to the wider world (including the Indo-Pacific), making these the priority domains for defence and security.” geostrategy.org.uk/britains-world…


Maybe true there’s not appetite for an Asian NATO in S. E. Asia, but that was never the idea. The concept was floated for NE Asia.

The demand for an Asian #NATO remains negligible in Southeast Asia because most countries are convinced that a multilateral security architecture will only elevate regional insecurities & make them subservient to great power contestations: @AVIRAL96 or-f.org/31692

Former Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is being grilled by lawmakers in her bid to be the EU's next foreign affairs chief. There was applause from some in the hearing when she gave this answer on supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression:

Just to demonstrate in how poor a state uk defence is, we cannot even deploy an armoured division in support of NATO (as this non-answer to me from the Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP yesterday shows)


A mirror of the narrative we hear from Russia and China that America's allies are just vassals, and individuals expressing unwelcome opinions are just sock puppets of their masters.

Trump is Musk’s client. Musk is Putin’s client. Putin is Xi’s client.

Updated chart visualizing Chinese PLA incursions into Taiwan’s air defense ID zone (ADIZ) this year. The record-breaking surge began in May following President Lai’s inauguration. By August, ADIZ incursions had already surpassed 2023 totals — with the tally now 1,000+ higher.

Lighthizer: “The strategic decoupling that I propose here is really no different from that followed by the Chinese right now.” More truth to this than many realize when you look into PRC policies of “dual circulation” and “new quality productive forces.”

One of the policy conclusions in Robert Lighthizer’s book, No Trade is Free. He has no issue with the decoupling terminology, and de-risking is not used a single time.

Spot on. Italy and Poland have also proven to be much more like minded partners on a number of issues - and politically more reliable for the UK.

We need to reform the outdated “quad” - UK, France, Germany and US in defence. I lobbied to include Italy and Poland but the FCDO and other members constantly refused to recognise how defence had changed. ⁦@PolishEmbassyUK⁩ ⁦@ItalyinUKthetimes.com/article/3a759a…

This video of Prime Minister Ishiba apparently falling asleep during today's Diet session has gone viral, receiving over 8 million views. It looks like former PM Aso, who backed a rival candidate in the LDP leadership election, is glaring at Ishiba.
