Efter 30 års strategisk timeout kom ett krig till Europa och jag loggade in på Twitter.

Yep, Russia knows NATO can be weakened without firing a missile. Undermine public trust, divide allies and make citizens doubt the alliance. U.S. intelligence must spot those influence operations as part of homeland defense. euronews.com/my-europe/2026/… #NATO #Russia #homelanddefense

until recently the decline in Europe's defense spending was inconsequential because the loss of material combat capabilities had been overtaken by the diminishing willingness to fight. But now some countries are spending more, while simply gnoring their post-Heroic predicament

Dear Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby (@USWPColby), Thank you very much for your lengthy post setting out the principles and guidelines that you believe should govern America's former allies in NATO. For our part, we have taken note that President Trump no longer consistently guarantees that NATO's Article 5 will be honoured. We have taken note that President Trump has shown a marked inclination to do Vladimir Putin's bidding, even when doing so runs counter to our strategic interests and to our political and moral commitments to Ukraine. We have taken note that the U.S. administration has moved NATO allies further down the queue for deliveries of American weapons than previously agreed. We have taken note that President Trump has repeatedly spoken disparagingly of the sacrifices made by our soldiers when NATO allies answered the call after the United States invoked Article 5. We have taken note that President Trump appears to believe, mistakenly, that NATO is some kind of emergency hotline the United States can call whenever military operations far outside the Alliance's purpose and area of responsibility go wrong. We have also taken note that President Trump regularly speaks of acquiring sovereignty over Canada and Greenland. And, of course, we have taken note that President Trump has shown a clear willingness to unilaterally disregard the trade agreements concluded between the European Union and the United States. Taken together, all of this means that we must adapt to the reality that we can no longer rely on the United States. And that is exactly what we are doing. You are, of course, quite right that American defence manufacturers produce excellent weapons. But many of those systems are also becoming outdated in light of contemporary military doctrine - as the war in Ukraine has demonstrated with remarkable clarity. We naturally appreciate that you still find the time to lecture us on your views and on America's expectations. But in light of the chain of events set in motion by President Trump and his administration, we must admit that they carry rather limited weight.
There is a great deal of hubbub about a collective “middle powers”strategy these days. At DoW, we are not concerned that this is a serious possibility. Rather, we are more concerned that a few allies and partners will *think it is* and waste valuable time, money, and political capital on a distraction. 1/

Joakim Paasikivi, som numera är geopolitisk rådgivare på Mannheiner Swartling, är inte särskilt imponerad över USA:s krigsföring i Iran: "En ny och djärv strategi som går ut på att man är en idiot".

A matter of trust. Every year, Finland tops the World Happiness Report. Economists point to welfare systems. Sociologists cite education. But having visited Finland — and eventually bought an apartment in Vantaa — I think the real answer is something harder to measure. It's trust. Not as a value on a poster. As the actual foundation of how society works. From the very first trip, it struck me. People trust strangers. Institutions trust citizens. The state trusts its people to make good decisions, and people trust the state not to abuse that. It sounds simple. It is anything but. When I went through the process of buying property in Finland, the contrast with other places I know was almost surreal. The system assumed good faith — at every step. No one treated me like a potential problem to be managed. That trust wasn't naive. It was structural, built over generations into laws, culture, and everyday habits. And here's the thing about trust: it's self-reinforcing. When people trust each other, they cooperate. When they cooperate, things work. When things work, trust deepens. Finland isn't happy despite its challenges — it's resilient through them because the social fabric holds. Happiness reports measure outcomes. Trust is the mechanism. That's what Finland quietly taught me. 🇫🇮

Jo, så är det.
Apparently, the first navy to refuse to help Trump secure the Strait of Hormuz was the United States Navy.

There will be no WW3. They've abandoned numbered releases and switched to a live service model with seasonal events.

Day 1467. We made it through the winter. Armed Forces of Ukraine stand, and Russians failed to break us - again. The world is fighting more wars, Russian invasion unleashed enormous security crisis. It all boils down to the will of ordinary people who shape history. We stand.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
