Provocative piece by the Guardian, trends we should all be worried about. I don't believe the majority of police are any more comfortable with this. How do we get away from the 'us vs them' that is undermining so many issues, not just this one?

Not much choice at the moment, but this article by National Geographic gives food for thought if you’re doing a lot of vid calls. https://t.co/9ZwJAUDmVQ

@dmandrews13 @defence_wonk @Dr_M_Davis @PJD_WarStudies @SamRoggeveen @JohnBlaxland1 @graham_euan @cbeutel @Rory_Medcalf Worth also asking how many states trying to keep balanced forces are maintaining credible strategic weight. Unless something alters cost trends, it will get harder for states to maintain credible balanced forces.

My new piece, published with thanks to the US Studies Centre. Short-termism in democracies is not only costing us missed opportunities, it's generating real risks. Democracies need to create some space to think big again.
