📢 One key message from Munich! Excellent panel discussion

[Niklas Wagner @GEReastbound]

Russia is not achieving its strategic goals in its war of aggression against 🇺🇦. Our #MSC2026 Panel shed light on the prize Russia is paying. There are cracks in the system. 🇪🇺, along with the 🇺🇸, have to stay in the game in the long run! 💪🏼 1/2

[Jonas Brendebach @JonasBrendebach]

Important perspective, given Russia’s omnipresent rhetoric of strength! 👇

[Niklas Wagner @GEReastbound]

Russia continues its brutal war of Aggression against Ukraine for the 5th consecutive year. Our #MSC2026 Side Event will highlight the costs of war, Russia’s weak spots and setbacks. Line-up: Amb. Lambsdorff, @jana_puglierin, @AnnwieAnna, @AlexGabuev. Stay tuned for Take-aways!

Proud to have been part of the process!!

My book, The Triangle of Power – Rebalancing the New World Order, is out today in English and Swedish. It is an attempt to explain what is going on in international relations and how we can get things back on track again.

Worked on it for four years. Tried to make it short and snappy without cutting too many corners. It will come out in 12 different languages.

My main argument is that the liberal world order is unravelling. Multilateral cooperation is giving away to multipolar rivalry and conflict. The new world order is being shaped by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East and the Global South. Many moving parts at the moment, but my main thesis is that it will be the Global South that determines whether the world will tilt towards cooperation or fragmentation.

The book is a call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy. Unless our current international institutions are reformed, we will be moving back to a Hobbesian world. Let’s make sure it won’t happen. Everyone has agency. If there is a problem, fix it.

I gave a speech on geopolitics at the University of Nairobi.

My message to students is: You have agency. You will decide how the world will look like.

Setting the record straight!

[Kancelaria Premiera @PremierRP]

Minister @MSZ_RP @sikorskiradek podczas wczorajszego wystąpienia w #ONZ o prezentacji rosyjskiego ambasadora: Kijów nie jest klientem Zachodu. Kijów walczy o niezależność, a Ukraina ma demokratycznie wybrany rząd i nie jest zbrodniczym reżimem. To Rosja próbowała eksterminować Ukrainę i to nie pierwszy raz. Historia pokazuje, że często to Rosja była agresorem, a nie ofiarą.

Probably the fittest Head of State in history @alexstubb!! Endurance, resilience, and a good dose of both competitiveness and sportsmanship will be assets! Warmest congratulations!!

Your quick guide to today's complicated geopolitics:

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

This is where it happens.

Without @rscholtalbers and Andrii it would not happen.

Together we have recorded about 50 episodes on:

1. Understanding the war.

2. Geopolitics with Alex.

3. The New World (disorder).

A Western conundrum: It's a serious domestic policy issue, but from outside it just looks like the US putting strategic partners second or third place. Western democracies appear too inward looking to be reliable partners, esp relevant for Global South. https://t.co/ZaYHjYC0xW

A watershed moment for global order: @alexstubb with important thoughts on why the #globalsouth might determine the future order - and what the West should do about it #dignifiedforeignpolicy - https://t.co/c4J7SlCaTG via @FT

[Jonas Brendebach @JonasBrendebach]

UKR needs Western long-term support, especially if spring offensive produces fewer results than hoped for. Costs of protracted stalemate, or a collapse of UKR over time, are high. "As long as it takes!" Good outlook by @ClaudMajor

[Claudia Major @ClaudMajor]

Seit über einem Jahr führt Russland einen zerstörerischen Krieg in der Ukraine (die russischen Aggressionen haben schon 2014 begonnen).

Warum 2023 entscheidend sein wird für die Ukraine und den Westen erkläre ich in der neuen Ausgabe @handelsblatt Geoeconomics.

Ein 🧵 /1

The Global South's hedging strategy presents an opportunity to the West: they are not (yet) ready to follow CHN/RUS. But the West has to get its offer right. Especially to the young ambitious populations across the South. Sharp analysis by @MatiasSpektor https://t.co/aCKK5Ikrtr

That is not to say that #ChatGPT or #ArtificialIntelligence cannot be helpful. To the contrary! It can and will be a game changer, and possibly in a good sense. Just to say to all goldsmiths of the word not to feel obsolete prematurely!

[Jonas Brendebach @JonasBrendebach]

The #ChatGPT debate had me think back to my first lectures in literary studies back in Berlin. Steffen Martus quoted from Nietzsche’s “Dawn”. #artificalintelligence may help us to “get done” with things, but not to “read well”. Not any text, nor the world.

[Jonas Brendebach @JonasBrendebach]

Die #ChatGPT Debatte lässt mich an meine Einführungs-VL Literaturwissenschaft in Berlin denken. Da zitierte Steffen Martus aus Nietzsches „Morgenröthe“. #artificalintelligence hilft beim „fertig werden“, nicht aber beim „g u t lesen“. Weder von Texten, noch von der Welt.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

The West's approach to financial and military (weapons) aid to Ukraine should follow Mario Draghi's approach in the eurocrisis: "Whatever it takes". There is no point in beating around the bush or holding back. This war will be decided on the battlefield. Ukraine must win.

Has any US National Security Strategy before stated increased access to child care as declared goal? Not to be underestimated in face of a paling dividing line between foreign and domestic policy.
