These bookstores in The Hague … clearly on top of their game 😉
Now that NATO’s Hague summit is being brandished as ‘historic’, you might want to read about the preceding 76 years.
It’s all there in “NATO: From Cold War to Ukraine” (Yale UP) 💪

Ruth Weiss, 100 years old, at DIAS to recount her experience with Nazism and later Apartheid: her family fled the former and she struggled against the latter. Memory matters, perhaps especially these days. Thank you for sharing.

Novaya Gazeta editor, Kirill Martynov telling us at @d-ias.bsky.social about life as an ‘undesirable’ by the Russian government. Bravo for the courage to insist on decency and democracy.

Wonderful to be back at #NATO Defence College in Rome. I lectured on the alliance’s crisis management experience, but as could be expected, we talked a lot about NATO’s current challenges. It’s looking a bit tough.

Einstein’s IAS (Institute for Advanced Study) office. His desk is by the window. Today in use by IAS postdocs - Einstein did not want it turned into a museum.

In 1947, the power of nuclear weapons led Albert Einstein to warn against “the outmoded concept of narrow nationalism.” In 1948, he won the One World Award - a golden globe. Small observations from a fascinating visit to the archives of IAS - The Institute of Advanced Study.

In Oslo, the major newspaper VG keeps a shattered display of its paper from July 22, 2011 - the day Anders Breivik set off a major bomb in Oslo and proceeded to Utøya to slaughter more innocent people.

In Alaska for the Anchorage Security and Defense Conference. Will address #NATO and its High North policy, which, as observes know, is not quite Arctic. How to maintain the distinction is the question.

Two men walked into a bar … in Rome, Italy, and ended up in bibs. It didn’t prevent us from having a terrific discussion of #NATO and global affairs, though. @johnrdeni.bsky.social
