A great new European Dispatch Column (all free) by @alanderminna.bsky.social just appeared. Its message is clear--Be Like Denmark--a state which is being more responsible in its defense policies than almost any other in Europe. Quite some praise coming from a Finn. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Small State Power: Be Like Denmark
In this week’s Europe Dispatch, Minna Ålander writes about how Denmark is showing that even small states can punch far above their weight and lead by example.

a pan European medium would sink its teeth into this, chasing responsible politicians across Brussels and EU capitals. You would struggle to make that dull. Why aren't we doing this? @wblau.bsky.social
We've massively expanded our tracking of Russia's shadow fleet. Since Dec. 2021, Greek shipping oligarchs sold Putin 35% of his shadow fleet, with other Europe another 14%. EU leaders looked the other way and still do. These sales continue to this day. With @econharris.bsky.social @brookings.edu

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

De har skam styr på det, tosserne, der leger regering i USA. Det er en del af en meget større og snedig plan…

Why are we not talking more about the fact that the Trump/Putin call which everyone was hyping for days was a complete and total bust if not a complete Putin victory?

Europeans need to step in here.

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

Europeans want more EU (this is especially true on defense).

From Macron’s speech last week I found this military meeting in Paris the most interesting announcement.

The US wasn’t invited on purpose so as to demonstrate that Europe is willing to take the responsibility for the Ukraine security force. Including even Asian allies
More than 30 nations will participate in Paris planning talks on a security force for Ukraine
Military officials from more than 30 nations are expected to take part in Paris talks on the creation of an international security force for Ukraine.

Imagine if Europe hadn’t supported the US in the GWOT. The US could’ve ended up a pariah state already 20 years ago.

So let’s all drop this narrative about ungrateful Europeans
I’ve really had enough of these takes that it’s been unfair that Europe has outsourced its defence to the US.

First of all, the US needed both the bases in Europe and European political and military backing for its global war on terror and the wars in the Middle East. It was never pure charity.

The US is giving up on defending freedom in the world.

Europe has to take over the torch.

We can defend ourselves.
We can fight for freedom.
We can be stronger.

When we are united.

Stand with Ukraine.

If you think that Europe is doomed, you’re not paying attention.

Wrote a recap of the latest developments and call me a hopeless Europtimist but I think Europe+ (including Canada) isn’t doing too bad in terms of offering Ukraine an actual perspective for the future. With or without the US.
Is Trump Making Europe Great Again?
In a world of zero-sum thinking, the EU's win-win logic can be a powerful tool.
