Venezuela Is a Gift to Putin and a harbinger of more Russian aggression in Europe

After all, if Trump is allowed to do it in #Venezuela, why can’t #Putin do it in #Lithuania. Or #Poland. Or #France.

Either way, Europe has to step up. The #IISS, a European think-tank, noted that the number of Russian sabotage operations in Europe almost quadrupled over the past year.

49 CG_1.1.1 Grafica e visual design interattivo Il testo funge da introduzione alla disciplina della progettazione grafica e multimediale, evidenziando come gli stimoli visivi siano onnipresenti nella vita quotidiana, dalle insegne ai sistemi software.  A causa della complessità e dei continui cambiamenti tecnologici, il tradizionale termine "grafica" si evolve in visual design, abbracciando un mondo visivo che ora è interattivo, tattile e digitale. La progettazione efficace richiede un sapiente equilibrio tra creatività e regole compositive, essenziali per far sì che la forma estetica e il significato veicolato si supportino reciprocamente. Il documento conclude distinguendo i classici mass media (comunicazione unidirezionale) dai new media digitali, dove la sfida principale della progettazione multimediale è integrare attivamente l'interazione con l'utente.

Sadly, this annual #IISS volume seems to get bulkier every year.

A return to nuclear testing in an unstable age? President Trump has suggested that the US will return to nuclear testing ‘on an equal basis’. Although his statement may not end a three-decade long US unilateral moratorium on nuclear test explosions, it is emblematic of a new and increasingly unstable nuclear age.

Trump’s call to resume US nuclear testing signals a volatile new era of mistrust & eroding norms,writes @dbsalisbury.bsky.social #IISS 🔗 t.ly/XtluL. Europe must defend the testing taboo & press for restraint, argue Astrid Chevreuil & @doreenhorschig.bsky.social @lawfaremedia 🔗 t.ly/nY4nW 4/10

Excited to be back in Bahrain for the #IISS Manama Dialogue 2025, speaking on Gulf security with FMs Al-Zayani, Al-Busaidi & Gerapetritis. I stressed the link between Gulf & European security and the importance of #EU–#GCC cooperation ahead of the 2026 Summit.

With a European next-gen fighter program in doubt, what would an FCAS collapse look like? - Breaking Defense A key meeting on the future fighter has been "postponed," a German official told Breaking Defense, as analysts weigh what's next.

#SCAF \ #FCAS:

A scenario by D. Barrie, #IISS, that I partly share in case that #France \ #Dassault and #Germany \ #Airbus fail to find a common issue:

As I reminded recently, in most of cooperation programs, a partner left during workshare & specs definitions.

Deutschlands Rückkehr ins Raketenzeitalter Mit der geplanten Beschaffung von Tomahawk-Marschflugkörpern integriert Deutschland weitreichende landgestützte Flugkörper in seine Sicherheits- und Abschreckungsarchitektur. Dieser Schritt spiegelt nicht nur ein verändertes sicherheitspolitisches Selbstverständnis Berlins wider, sondern auch neue strategische und technologische Realitäten.

Berlin’s Tomahawk purchase signals shift to long-range strikes & new defense posture, driven by INF collapse, Ukraine war & doubts about missile defense alone. Yet for credible deterrence, more is needed - better ISR, hypersonics, ballistic & supersonic cruise missiles, argues Fabian Hinz #IISS 5/10

As regional tensions rise, Israel’s policy of nuclear ambiguity gains new urgency.

🎙️ In S4 E6 of #TheArmsControlPoseur #IISS @bollfrass.bsky.social speaks with Dr Or Rabinowitz on Israel’s nuclear strategy, its US ties and what lies ahead.

Defending Europe Without the United States: Costs and Consequences A new IISS report assesses the financial costs and defence industrial requirements for a European NATO to defend against a future Russian threat if the United States were to withdraw from NATO. It finds that directly replacing key parts of the US contribution would amount to approximately USD1 trillion.
