"Con il ritorno della #Guerra sul suolo #europeo, non potrebbe esserci un momento più opportuno e appropriato per gli Stati membri dell'#UE per concordare una bussola strategica per la sicurezza e la #difesa di adesso. Preparato dal Servizio europeo per l'azione esterna (#SEAE)
negli ultimi due anni e adottato dagli Stati membri il 21 marzo, definisce un piano per rafforzare la politica di sicurezza e di difesa dell'#UE entro il #2030 con l'obiettivo di diventare "un servizio di sicurezza più #assertivo e decisivo fornitore” .

Puncto Sicherheit versteht das Volk sowieso nichts. Wieso soll man noch seine Meinung holen?

🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 #España - La ministra de Defensa, Margarita Robles, ha asegurado en la @COPE, en concreto en el programa @HerreraenCOPE, que España no excluye participar en el futuro en el programa de escudo antimisiles promovido por 🇩🇪 #Alemania.
🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 #España - Eso sí, es muy torticera al hablar de alcanzar una inversión 2% del PIB en defensa y presentarlo como una aspiración reciente, cuando llevamos años eludiendo alcanzar un objetivo de gasto que nuestros socios nos han pedido recurrentemente.
🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 #España - Por otra parte, está repitiendo -lo que es de agradecer- el mensaje de ayer de @JosepBorrellF y dejando claro que los socios a ambos lados del Atlántico están a una. Eso sí, matiza la amenaza nuclear, como algo no inmediato según los datos de inteligencia.

🇪🇺🇺🇦👇important contribution. Start of debate forcing itself onto #EU agenda when Leaders meet for 'Growth summit' in Versailles next week.
Personally I have no doubt a "doubling-down" on EU #borrowing capacity in time will be necessary -- but not necessarily as proposed.

As a quick take, I think @benjaminhaddad @maxbergmann's proposal:
- lacks ambition in the most adverse scenario (1⃣) (obvious)
- faces question about EU borrowing priority in world we are waking up to tomorrow (2⃣);
- requires discussion of European defence fundamentals (3⃣).

1⃣ Worst-case: rest of Europe gets pulled into war w/ Russia. What nobody wishes, is not inconceivable.
We are then talking about something entirely different in scale in terms of mobilising resources across society, including issuance of war debt, to finance the effort.

1/6🤦🏻♂️If true (still hop it's not) this would again wreck 🇩🇪 reputation for a domestic publicity stunt.
1️⃣🇷🇺 doesn't want to talk to 🇩🇪, their demands are addressed to 🇺🇸.
2️⃣ to change this 🇪🇺 would have to be structurally capable to act in the fields ... bild.de/bild-plus/poli…

2/6 ... 🇷🇺 is interested in dealing with like military support to 🇺🇦, strategic armaments, force posture in Europe. In all of this the #SPD is actually blocking 🇩🇪 from becoming an actor...
3️⃣ #Putin is not interested in Resets. He demands results, the ones 🇩🇪 can't deliver.

3/6 4️⃣ Unilateral outreach only undermines cohesion in 🇪🇺, especially if - as in this case - the exact objective of discussion is kept secret. See for corresponding attempts in the past. None of which produced results other than alienating allies in Brussels.
1/Η απομάκρυνση του Διευθυντη της #ΓΔΑΕΕ Θ.Λαγιο έγινε με ιδιαίτερα παρασκηνιακό τρόπο. Τις προηγούμενες μέρες κυκλοφορησε non paper που του καταλογιζε ευθυνες για ολιγωρία στην προμήθεια των μτχ ASV #Μ1117 #Guardian ενω φεροταν να έχει κοντα με κυβερνητικους κυκλους στο Μαξίμου.
2/Τα δημοσιευματα συνεχίστηκαν και ενω δεν ειχε γίνει επίσημη ανακοινωση "τον παραίτησαν" . Ο ιδιος διέψευσε την παραίτηση για να αποκαλυφθει μετά από λιγη ώρα ότι "απομακρυνεται" απο τη θέση του και μεταβαίνει σε θέση Συνδέσμου ΥΠΕΘΑ στον οργανισμο συνεργασίας #PESCO
(Thread) Kleines Update zum gestern durch die BReg veröffentlichte Strategiepapier der Bundesregierung zur Stärkung der Verteidigungsindustrie in Deutschland und den Cyberthemen: Neben anderen „emerging technologies“ ist jetzt Cyber/IT-Sicherheit & KI explizit Teil der Strategie
Dabei wird jetzt auch die Funktionsfähigkeit von KRITIS mitgedacht. 2015 lag der Fokus bei IT noch insb. auf Kryptographie. Als nationale Schlüsseltechnologien gelten fortan: „Sicherheitsrelevante IT- & Kommunikations- technologien, Chip-, Netzwerk- & Verschlüsselungstechnologien
... Cyber- abwehrsysteme sowie Host- und Netzwerkforensik“ gelten zukünftig als nationale Schlüsseltechnologien, die national gefördert/aufgebaut/bezogen werden bzw. bei der innerhalb Europas kooperiert werden soll (u.a. über #PESCO und den Europäischen Verteidigungsfonds).
German defence minister von der Leyen published this piece on the European Army/ #EuropeanDefence a few days ago. I didn’t tweet it out then because I found it so strange… [thread]

Her piece focuses on the advances Europe has made to create a common European defence (of course, the idea is to show that von der Leyen has been doing great work). She claims “Europe’s army is already taking shape.” [2]

German version: handelsblatt.com/meinung/gastbe…
The German government had decided not to use the term ‘European Army’ anymore, but rather ‘Army of the Europeans’, as it says in the coalition agreement, but this has clearly changed since Macron’s support of a “real European Army”... [3]

(2) #Rusya Federasyonu’nun Vostok 2018 Tatbikat’ında gerçekleştirdiği askeri yığınak ölçüsünde bir faaliyeti, savaş koşulları da aranmaksızın, önümüzdeki on yıl içerisinde başarıyla yapabileceklerini düşünüyorlar mı?
(3) Ya da silahlı insansız askeri hava sistemleri pazarında, Avrupa’nın, önümüzdeki on yılda mevcut export dengelerini alt-üst edecek bir çıkış yapacağını rahatlıkla söyleyebilecek kaç kişi var?
For the record, on 'Does #PESCO equal an EU army?':
PESCO is about increasing interoperability and industrial competitiveness in Europe, and decreasing the number of different weapon systems (through financial incentives for PESCO members to jointly develop capabilities). 1/x

Military capacities developed within PESCO remain in the hands of member-states that can also make them available in other contexts such as through NATO or the UN. 2/x
Governments do not want to give up their sovereign national prerogative to deploy troops. What makes sense though, is to train and exercise them together to increase interoperability (in fact, NATO does this too, see Framework Nation Concept) 3/x
