A Letter to Europe

Dear Europe,

The world is shifting beneath your feet. The power structures are being revisited. Alliances are under scrutiny. Imperial thinking back on the stage. You are prosperous. You are democratic. You are admired. But admiration without strength invites mistreat. Wealth without power invites exploitation. Values without force invite disregard.

It is time for you to become strong – stronger than ever before. It is time to grow muscles and show teeth. To be decisive. Daring. Intentional. To stop reacting and start shaping. You must finally become a geopolitical power. A geoeconomic power. A fortress of safety.

You are an economic giant, yet too often a strategic spectator. That must end.
A geopolitical #Europe knows exactly where its interests lie. It takes its entire perimeter – from #Ukraine to the Middle East to North Africa – seriously. It does not outsource its security thinking. It does not whisper when others shout. It speaks with one voice and backs that voice with real force.

A geopolitical Europe is able to grow its membership, as enlargement projects power and failure to enlarge projects weakness. A geopolitical Europe understands that having Ukraine as its part is thousand times better than having Ukraine as part of Russia. A geopolitical Europe is also capable of pursuing a coherent foreign and security policy and possesses instruments to achieve this goal.
Transatlantic partnership must mean equality, not reliance. Respect is not granted to those who depend indefinitely on others for their own defense. If you want influence, you must carry weight - military, financial, strategic. You cannot shape the world if you are afraid to project power within it.

Europe must seize its power as a global economic heavyweight. The EU is the world’s third‑largest economy, a single market of 450 million consumers. European regulation has already shaped global standards in social rights, data protection and competition. That influence can extend further – into AI, digital governance, green technologies – if paired with industrial strength.

A geoeconomic Europe protects its strategic sectors. It secures supply chains at home or with trusted partners. It invests at scale in defense industries, AI, energy independence, and advanced manufacturing. It understands that the single market is its leverage - and uses it to secure its interests.

Set the standards. Defend your industries. Use market access as power. If you do not define the rules of the game, you will live by rules written elsewhere.

Europe without ironclad security remains exposed. Security is the foundation upon which prosperity rests.

A safe Europe controls its borders. Protects its infrastructure. Shields its digital space. Produces what it needs in times of crisis. Sustains itself in prolonged conflict if required.

Deterrence must remain credible at every level. Conventional strength is essential. But in a world where nuclear weapons still shape strategic reality, credible nuclear deterrence must also be part of the equation. This does not mean duplicating #NATO or weakening the Alliance. It means reinforcing the European pillar within NATO, ensuring that deterrence on the continent remains robust and unquestionable.

Security costs money. Sovereignty costs money. Freedom costs money.
If you are not willing to pay in investment and resolve, you will pay in dependency and subordination. And once dependency becomes structural, freedom becomes symbolic.

No fortress is built with declarations. It is built with strategy, action and dedication.

@GLandsbergis The last few years have taught me one thing: if Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia says something about our security - you should listen and take it to heart 🫡

No we don’t

Founded in 2021 by Juozas Sargūnas, Robertas Šaltis, and Vidmantas Šiugōdinis, the MELP platform allows employers to save time and money by managing and communicating employee benefits and analyzing their costs and usage. At the same time, #employees can select financial and non-financial benefits according to their needs and preferences. Among more than 6K goods and services, there are insurance packages, sports membership, paid time off, training and education, vaccination, fuel compensation, public transportation tickets, mobile phones, etc. The startup will use the investment to expand abroad.

Founded in 2022 by the ex-managing director of LitBAN @Pasys_, NGL facilitates syndicate investments, and business angel education and forms startup advisory boards.
