[Thorsten Benner @thorstenbenner]

I wasn't that convinced about the prospects of a "middle power" strategy. But the very fact that one of the most senior Pentagon officials feels the need to debunk it is the best ads you can imagine.

Nach ihrem gemeinsamen Besuch in New York fahren die „Gorch Fock“ und ihre baugleichen Schwesternschiffe „Eagle“ (USA), „Sagres“ (Portugal) und „Mircea“ (Rumänien) eine Regatta, von New York nach Boston. Die „Gorch Fock“ liegt derzeit vorne. Dieses Bild ist vor dem Start, alle vier nebeneinander. Wunderschön!

This report assesses that it is highly likely the Kremlin conducted a coordinated Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) campaign over Europe between August 2024 and February 2026, spanning a dozen NATO states and Ireland.

It is also likely that Russian-linked vessels and the shadow fleet were used as maritime launch, recovery and/or signal relay platforms.

NEW RESEARCH: One German tabloid coined one word. "Heizungshammer" spread to 1,100+ articles and helped to effectively kill Germany's heating law.

We analysed 333 BILD articles to trace how tabloid framing became legislation.

Admiral (ret.) William H. McRaven: "In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation."

🇩🇪🤝🇬🇧 German mine hunter Fulda and the tender ship Mosel arrived in Djibouti yesterday.

During their transit through the Red Sea, both vessels were escorted by British warships in a sign of excellent cooperation.

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

Overnight, Royal Marines Commandos of the @RoyalNavy were involved in the interception of a shadow fleet vessel. They were supported by @HMSSutherland, @HMSLedbury and the Maritime Air Group.

Mission success thanks to the skills, bravery and professionalism of our people.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.

This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.

I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We’ve come a long way baby or at least we thought we had. I found this letter in the house that I bought

Ich finde wir müssen mehr handeln. Große Reden sind kein Ersatz dafür…

@Yusra_Suedi Oh dear. This analysis muddies the waters more than it contributes to clearing them up.

Today is a beautiful day!

The UK has officially signed its return to Erasmus+.
British students will once again study across Europe, feeling closer to our shared continent

A wonderful victory for all who believe in the bond between the UK and EU

Erasmus+ welcomes the UK home

Marineinspekteur Jan Christian Kaack fordert eine solche Stärkung der deutschen Streitkräfte, die Putin jeden Morgen vor dem Angriff zurückschrecken lässt. Sein Problem: Die Mittel dafür fehlen. https://t.co/lzV0i27VHI

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Johannes Zeller @johanneszeller]

Die Straße von Hormus ist eine internationale Meeresstraße. Der Iran hat kein Recht, für die Durchfahrt Gebühren zu verlangen. Und die USA haben kein Recht, dem Iran dieses Recht zu erteilen. Dass dieses Ansinnen nicht sofort weltweit diplomatische Proteste auslöst, zeigt: 1/3

[Ulrich Schneider @UlrichSchneider]

Falsch, ⁦@larsklingbeil⁩ : Solange es in Schulsporthallen reinregnet, der ÖPNV nicht für jeden erschwinglich ist, Grundsicherung nicht vor Armut schützt oder in der Jugendhilfe der Rotstift angesetzt wird, können wir uns Olympische Spiele ganz offensichtlich nicht leisten.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

More than 1,000 international law experts (myself included) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the U.N. Charter (no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat that could justify a self-defense claim) and may be war crimes (attacks on civilian sites). https://t.co/KrdCJUu2gO

[Senator Marco Rubio: Archived @SenMarcoRubio]

No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval.

Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.
