VDL is right. We should stop talking about defending “every inch” of European/NATO territory.
Unconsciously, it’s a way to assume that it is primarily an American responsibility. It’s not. This is a mission for the metric system.

Interview éclairante avec @pierreharoche.bsky.social sur la position stratégique de l'Europe, aux côtés d'États-Unis toujours ambigus. Ou pourquoi les Européens doivent sans attendre assumer seuls la première ligne de dissuasion face à la Russie.

Pour Pierre Haroche, spécialiste de la sécurité européenne, les Européens doivent sans attendre assumer un nouveau rôle: la première ligne de dissuasion face à la Russie.

Land robots are the new drones!
👉 That's another reason for sending 🇪🇺 troops to 🇺🇦 after ceasefire.
If we don't want to have to defend Europe with millions of soldiers 🫡at the eastern border, we can learn from 🇺🇦 how to do it with machines 🤖.

Ukrainian forces turn to unmanned ground vehicles to counter drones
Specialized Ukrainian units using unmanned ground vehicles are emerging across all brigades. These machines already carry out most supply runs and evacuations on the front lines.

Fascinating to compare these two polls.
👉Defence and international relations are top concerns of 🇪🇺; the least important for 🇺🇸.
👉 🇪🇺 citizens are aware of the threats; member states & 🇪🇺 should be more ambitious.
July 22, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Les citoyens, obnubilés par les enjeux domestiques, ne s’intéressent pas aux questions internationales?
👉Faux.
June 4, 2025 at 5:46 AM
Ce ne sont pas les citoyens qui entravent l’intégration 🇪🇺 en matière de défense, mais les bureaucraties. Même dans un climat de montée des populismes, les citoyens comprennent que l’union fait la force.

👉For centuries, there was intense military competition between European states for the conquest of the 🌍.
👉Then Europeans delegated security to extra-European superpowers.
👉Today, Europe itself has to become a power.

To clarify the debate:
👉It is essential to send 🇪🇺 troops to 🇺🇦 because 🇷🇺 will always be tempted to attack a 🇺🇦 fighting on its own; however 🇷🇺 will be deterred if it is convinced that an attack on 🇺🇦 is an attack on 🇪🇺.
www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/a...
Europe ‘would struggle to put 25,000 troops on the ground in Ukraine’
Defence chiefs’ hopes of a 64,000-strong ‘deterrence’ force is unlikely to be fulfilled, sources say

L’enjeu crucial, ce n’est pas le plan de #Trump, ce sont les garanties de sécurité, l’alliance 🇪🇺🇺🇦. Seule une présence 🇪🇺 en 🇺🇦 peut dissuader 🇷🇺 d’attaquer à nouveau 🇺🇦; seule 🇺🇦 peut permettre à 🇪🇺 d’être réellement militairement autonome et crédible.
April 26, 2025 at 7:08 AM
Que ce soit pour compenser le désengagement 🇺🇸, financer une présence 🇫🇷 terrestre en 🇺🇦, ou renforcer l'armée 🇺🇦, on butte toujours sur la question du financement. Un budget 🇪🇺 de défense commun est plus urgent que jamais.

Why Eurobonds or bust? 1. It generates a lot of cash fast, meaning big orders can be done fast to address big gaps: ammo, long range strike, tanks, air defense, artillery, air-tanker/transport, etc. 2. It's equitable! Debt servicing paid out of the EU budget so all member states contribute. 1/
Call me deeply dubious. Put aside whether to do this through the Commission or not. Setting up a new bank to provide loans just ain’t solving the problem. It’s all marginal, as is the EU 150bn loan proposal.

For European security, it’s Eurobonds or bust. www.politico.eu/article/uk-e...
UK joined European officials at secret dinner to plot radical rearmament fund
A supranational bank would sidestep the European Commission, involve the British, and allow defense-spending off the balance sheet.

For the EU, the implications are massive, but my hunch would be that this fastens decoupling and "strategic autonomy" from the US

Particularly a strong incentive to stimulate own tech sector and to reduce dependency of Silicon Valley (since we can't use that trump card now) 3/5
April 3, 2025 at 5:09 AM
That is why it is even more important than before to anchor 🇺🇦 in 🇪🇺 security architecture. We need to build a solid rampart from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea.
Hugely important. ‘Hegseth’s guidance acknowledges that the US is unlikely to provide substantial, if any, support to Europe in the case of Russian military advances, noting that Washington intends to push NATO allies to take primary defense of the region’ www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Depuis des décennies les 🇪🇺 ont vécu avec l’idée que le seul allié fiable était 🇺🇸; aujourd’hui nous peut-être l’occasion de créer un nouveau moment fondateur dans lequel c’est la solidarité entre 🇪🇺 qui aura été décisive.
March 28, 2025 at 10:04 AM
Our most important ally is no longer 🇺🇸, but 🇺🇦, which has shown that it is able and willing to stop 🇷🇺.
With 🇺🇦 anchored in 🇪🇺, we have serious chance of deterring 🇷🇺.
Without 🇺🇦 there is a serious risk of 🇪🇺 demoralisation and opportunistic 🇷🇺 attack.

If the Europe I know is worth having, and it sure is, it’s worth defending.

Glad to hear confirmation from #Macron that Europeans will deploy reassurance troops to 🇺🇦, and that this decision is not subject to either 🇷🇺 acceptance or 🇺🇸 support. This is #StrategicAutonomy.
