24 years after 9/11—when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time—Russian drones in Polish airspace saw Warsaw call for Article 4. NATO’s defence commitments remain highly relevant.

While I'm glad the NATO Summit was a success, using it as a platform for brushing aside the prohibition to use force – a core norm of international law – is problematic, as I stress in this brief interview. NATO's Article V is important for our security, but so is Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.

Been making this point too to academic colleagues traveling to the US - if you are anxious fly via Dublin or Shannon both with US immigration preclearance. Your US fight then lands as domestic.
Serious point I'd make to European citizens/residents who are considering visiting the US: fly on Aer Lingus via Dublin and your US immigration takes place in Dublin Airport, so if the Yanks turn you away then you'll still have the right to stay in Ireland (1/2)

The total cut off of deliveries to Ukraine is shockingly punitive. This is money already spent, equipment already built by industry for Ukraine, much of it has little utility to the US military. And it is just going to be sitting there in warehouses idle, as Ukrainian forces fight on.

Excellent breakdown of the reality behind the ReArm EU initiative announced today, it's a step in the right direction but a small step
About that €800bn EU defence fund just announced
€650bn of that - over 80% - is assuming Member States spend 1.5% of GDP more on defence over the next 4 years.*
This is based on the (already announced) relaxation of the EU rules on budget deficits.
But were fiscal rules ever the problem? (1/🧵)
