Five things to remember about war:

On Monocle Radio, we talked about what it takes to declare yourself a neutral state, why 🇨🇭 did so and what this means for our security policy. Turns out: as a neutral, be recognised, be useful, adapt, and cooperate! w @andrewmueller.bsky.social, M Dittli, J Linley. monocle.com/radio/shows/...

Because we need good news: the three Central Asian states Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan settle their borders. Just look at the map to see why this matters! Decades after the end of the USSR, and after numerous and regular skirmishes and local escalations. www.specialeurasia.com/2025/03/31/k...

@globsec.bsky.social think tank is calling for applications for their Young Leaders cohort, deadline tomorrow. I can recommend it if you care about the latest in European security in small settings and the big plenary of their annual conference. I was in the 2021 cohort. forum2025.globsec.org/gylf/

🇨🇭 MFA and MoD (some of my colleagues are on duty right now) are participating in #Nato Crisis Management Exercise (CMX) from 13 to 18 March. It allows us to strengthen cooperation and crisis management in an international setting➡️https://www.vbs.admin.ch/en/nsb?id=104479

@globsec.bsky.social is now accepting applications for its Young Leaders program! I was part of it 10 years ago, and many from my cohort have become lifelong friends. If you're interested in security & policy, I highly recommend applying: forum2025.globsec.org/gylf/?utm_ca...

I would have never thought, before the war, that it would be Zizek – of all – who will have the most lucid takes on what is wrong with many leftist views of this war.
