Final session--hot wash--with chairman of mil committee she Heather Conley #nato75

I love how this one speaker described nato enlargement: not driven by the west but an exodus of the Eastern European countries from Russia's grasp. #nato75

Getting close to the end so a panel on partnership: dep sec state Campbell, Moldovan dep pm Popsci, Galicia of USIP, Draper who is NZ's perm rep to NATO.

#nato75

Afternoon of day 2 of #NATO75 starts with depsecgen Geoana

Now a defense industry panel #nato75

No q&a so no chance to push the CT panel about for right terrorism #nato75

This whole discussion of the need to keep ahead of the terrorists on tech has some subtext that is disturbing: mote surveillance state. #nato75

This conversation about terrorism seems old fashioned. Yes, Gaza may be energizing terrorism but in North America, the biggest terrorism threat is from the far right #NATO75

Surprised that the cyber panel is a manel with a female moderator? Nope. #nato75

Next is a Ukraine panel with Andriy Yermak of the Ukraine president's office #nato75

Lunch was good, and then I missed the next session to talk to Canadian media. Now there's a panel on Russia reconstituting its military #nato75

The Republican senator just gave full throated support for article 5, and I just have to scoff, given the stance of his party's nominee. #nato75

Danish PM: we gave all of artillery to Ukraine, better used there than at home. Now doing the same for air defense #nato75

2023 hat die #NATO 15% mehr militärische CO2-Emissionen verursacht als 2022 – Deutschland sogar 55% mehr! Dieser Trend zur Erhöhung betrifft fast alle NATO-Staaten. Die Bundesregierung muss umsteuern. Die Pariser Klimaziele sind die Ziele, die es zu erreichen gilt! 👉 ippnw.de/presse #NATO75

After a coffee break, we have outgoing Sec Gen Jens Stoltenberg #nato75

Ok, here's one Austin line aimed at Trump: any attempt to undermine nato is a threat to the US #nato75

Best line so far: nato enlargemenf didn't cause putin's invasion, putin's invasion caused nato enlargement #nato75

Next up is SecDef Austin, with lots of preamble, and he is not being questioned by a friendly interviewed. Just him speaking #nato75

Blinken is dodging the Orban is a shifty ally question that Heather Conley has asked and followed up twice. Blinken is just a wee bit too optimistic, losing credibility on this #nato75

Did we know f16s from the Danes and Dutch are on their way to Ukraine. Blinken says they will be flying over Ukraine this summer. #nato75

Standing room only as the #nato75 public forum is starting

Proud to start this historic NATO Summit by partnering with the French Embassy in the United States to highlight how the alliance can support and secure Ukraine — and a Europe whole, free, and at peace. #NATO75

Nato swag: pens, notebooks, hat, pledge pins, and a cookie

Yes, #NATO75 has swag. I am at the summit side party Expert forum. Alas, unlike the 2016 Warsaw summit, no nato family dance party with open bar.

Die Nato muss die starke Achse der Demokratie in der Welt bleiben Die Nato ist die starke Achse gegen die Politik der Gewalt, wie sie Russland und China aktuell repräsentieren. Das muss sie bleiben, mahnt unser Autor.

Article 1 of NATO asserts that member states agree to use peaceful means to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved to preserve international peace. The Alliance has expanded significantly over the past 75 years, most recently with Sweden and Finland. #NATO75

NATO Must Sell Itself to Americans Encouraging Americans to believe they will save Europe will rankle with Europeans but the key to NATO winning over American public opinion.

"Encouraging Americans to believe they are saving Europe will rankle with some Europeans but the key to NATO winning over the American public may be to appeal to hearts rather than heads." Michael Peck #NATO75
