I wish to express my great thanks to Irish ambassador in The Hague, Dr Ann Derwin, and her deputy, Louise Hartigan, who both attended in person the annual symposium on medical harm in memory of my late wife, Adrienne Cullen, @UMCUtrecht y’day. A powerful message from @dfatirl 🙏

A lifetime honor for me to speak in the UK at the prestigious “Cambridge Intelligence Seminar” with the @CamGeopolitics Centre at Selwyn College, University of Cambridge!

🚨We had over 100 in attendance and another another 160 online— THANK you for all who joined us and contributed to this very important discussion on #RussianIntelligence and #GrayZone threats to our democracy.

🇺🇸🇬🇧Our alliance is our strength, I’ve always believed it, and been privileged to work with great colleagues from the United Kingdom and other NATO allies throughout my career.

Finally, it was a high honor to have dinner with Dr. Christopher Andrew (official historian of MI-5, the British Security Service) afterward; and in the company of some of his close friends and colleagues (he and I holding my book in below pic…also honored to meet former Foreign Policy advisor to PM Margaret Thatcher, John Ranelagh, who kindly met me at the train station on arrival, and is pictured in front of the auditorium with me below…).

I was able to ask advice of one of the great intelligence historians of all time and in great company with people like John. The intelligence seminar is one of many thriving legacies they all continue to support.

My deep appreciation for a special evening with all. I was treated very kindly by the hosts, including the Master (Dean) of Selwyn, Suzanne Raine who personally introduced me. Am grateful!🙏🏻

[ECFR @ecfr]

Europeans thus face a kind of “Schrödinger’s NATO”: the US appears both committed to, and absent from, the alliance at the same time. Instead of keeping NATO fully reliant on America and risk finding it dead in their hour of need, Europeans need to create a security architecture underpinned by Europeans themselves – according to a new report from @ECFREuropeanSec

2. Some of you may remember that @AdrienneCullen died of cervical cancer on December 31, 2018, when her hospital, @UMCUtrecht, “lost” the results of a tissue analysis which showed she had cancer. By the time they “found” the results, two years later, her condition was terminal.

1. In memory of my late wife, Dr Adrienne Cullen - who died following medical negligence - the annual Adrienne Cullen Symposium on Open Disclosure After Harm will be held this Thursday, June 4, from 15.00 to 16.15 Dutch (2pm to 3.15pm Irish) at UMC Utrecht, in the #Netherlands.

🇳🇴🇪🇺 Norway to reconsider joining the European Union

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide has stated that the “favorable world” of the past 30 years no longer exists and has been replaced by a “crazy world.”

He noted that challenges such as China’s assertiveness, US trade tariffs, and the war in Ukraine are forcing the EU to play a much more active role in trade and security policy.

Although Norway has been part of the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1994 and adopts most EU rules, it has no voting rights in their development.

Eide emphasized that policy areas Norway previously avoided are now becoming critically important.

Meanwhile, neighboring Iceland plans to hold a referendum on resuming EU accession talks by 2027. If Iceland joins, Norway could find itself isolated among Nordic countries outside the Union.

Shame on Ireland for its double standards: it keeps saying it supports Ukraine, but 80% of its aluminum production goes to russia to fuel its death machine that is murdering Ukrainians on a daily basis.
The greed for profit is leading Europe to its own destruction.
A disgrace.

#US #Europe #Nuclear

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

The United States is in discussions with several members of NATO, including Poland and some of the Baltic States, on whether to deploy nuclear weapons to additional sites throughout Europe, in a move intended to reassure allies that reduced conventional military support on the continent does not weaken security guarantees against Russia, three people briefed on the discussions told the Financial Times.

As part of the talks, which are said to be highly confidential, U.S. officials have signalled openness to additional deployments beyond the existing six countries hosting nuclear-capable bombers, which currently includes Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Such deployments would potentially allow more countries to host so-called U.S. Dual-Capable Aircraft (DCA), which are able to deliver nuclear strikes, such as the F-15E Strike Eagle and F-35A Lightning II.

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

There is a total established link between power, political power, capital, tech giants and AI. And the purpose of this is undermining democracy.

That's the goal because the people who are developing this stuff are against democracy.

I met Sam Altman a couple of years ago. I spent hours with him and at the end of the discussion I said to him, "You have created a monster."

And he said, "Yes, and now it's up to you to find out how to deal with it."

Her love affair with Albert Einstein was discovered in the 1990s.

She & her husband Sergey, a famous sculptor, returned to the USSR in 1945 after 22 years in the US.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

BOLTON: Ukraine now has the best army in Europe, enormous combat experience, drone technology that we should use. Ukrainians brought Russians to a halt. ​I don't think Trump sees any of that.

​It's a shame we didn't do more earlier to help Ukrainians. War might be over by now.
