New article I wrote with @HarknessKristen about our experience teaching civil-military relations using a simulation of a dictator's "end game" scenario! Will the military repress or defect? Do pro-democratic or theocratic opposition movements maneuver their way to power?

[Kristen Harkness @HarknessKristen]

New teaching article out on simulating civil-military relations during mass uprisings and dictator end game scenarios! Can be used generically or adapted to specific historical and contemporary contexts.

📝 ‘No modern 🇬🇧 strategy document was as well thought-out as the Integrated Review. Equally, no modern 🇬🇧 strategy document has become so rapidly obsolete,’ writes @DevoreMarc, our Adjunct Fellow

The carrier is earmarked for a NATO operation to challenge Russian militarisation in the High North. Switching it to the Eastern Mediterranean when we already have an unsinkable aircraft carrier there would have created a pattern of response that Putin could play on. Makes sense and not controversial.

‘What the 🇬🇧 should immediately do is board and seize ‘shadow fleet’ tankers transiting the North Sea and English Channel to export Putin’s oil and gas overseas,’ argues @DevoreMarc, our Adjunct Fellow

@ACEurasia I just wrote a new piece with the Atlantic Council showing how the true military revolution in Ukraine is the cheap mass production of capabilities hitherto available only to superpowers

Top headline on BBC is that PM is speaking on @BBCr4today about defence review. But more time in the interview spent questioning winter fuel payments. No wonder the great British public don't understand much about defence and security.

Last year Merz called on Scholz to #FreeTaurus & proposed an ultimatum: if Russia didn’t halt attacks on Ukraine within 24hrs, 🇩🇪 should give 🇺🇦 Taurus.

Herr Merz is @bundeskanzler now. Russia just launched the biggest air raid of the war. This is long overdue. Send Taurus now.

[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

Hello, sorry to disturb you, but have you heard anything about Taurus and those crippling sanctions? Let me know, thanks.
