Excited about PM @AlboMP upcoming visit to #Vietnam (and his @IISS_org #SLD2023 keynote!).

Fairly new-found strategic closeness under the Coalition gov resulted in a strategic partnership.
"The 2 countries are increasingly aligned in their strategic outlook and both find each other supportive and, frankly, useful, for their own strategic goals."

Russia's suspension of #NewSTART, 🇸🇪 & 🇫🇮 role for nuclear disarmament, prospects for US-Russian-Chinese cooperation & Iran’s uranium enrichment: our #STAND team's regular thread on recent news and analyses to #underSTAND #nuclear #deterrence and #threats (no endorsement).(1/9) 
Putin’s announcement to suspend Russia’s🇷🇺 participation in the #NewSTART treaty may signal the end to formal #arms #control (bit.ly/3EpGB5J). @WarOnTheRocks, @HannaNotte argues that the US should use all means to reverse Russia’s decision (bit.ly/3IMc6tm).(2/9)
Also @WarOnTheRocks, @ProfOnderco and Clara Portela discuss the consequences of NATO’s Nordic enlargement on Swedish🇸🇪 and Finnish🇫🇮 bridge-building in the field of #nuclear #disarmament (bit.ly/3xKtg41). Joining NATO could impede their role as mediators.(3/9)
Yesterday, we held the first "Defence and Statecraft Forum" & we were honoured to welcome a number of great guests. For those that couldn't make it, we are going to write a thread on the main points (in no particular order)🧵 /1

61/bbr The solution to #Bureaucratic #Socialism (#BS) is neither #Bureaucratic #Capitalism, nor #Bureaucratic #Mixed #economy, but a #New #Development #Paradigm (EPW 2001; egrowfoundation.org/research/a-new…) further explained in, sites.google.com/site/chintan19… and egrowfoundation.org/research/india… 🧐
62/bbr “The J curve of Institutional reform” (2020) egrowfoundation.org/research/growt… showed that anti-black money crusade can’t b sustained w/o Institutional reform. Corruption is a systemic problem in India(origin Bureaucratic Socialism) & can only b solved by policy+institutional reform
63/bbr This is encouraging, but more needs to be done wrt #EODB/#EORC and to translate the policy reforms announced during last 3 yrs into rules, regulations & simpler procedures for producers & exporters. m.economictimes.com/tech/technolog…
Chinese military exercises after Speaker Pelosi’s Taiwan visit have resulted in the most dangerous crisis over #Taiwan since 1996. Much of the commentary around this issue in the past 2 weeks has focussed on the dynamics of the US-China strategic competition. 1/15 (Pic: @abcnews)
2/ But, what of the Taiwanese? The Taiwanese people have lived with Chinese threats & coercion for decades. However, events of recent weeks have laid bare for Taiwanese citizens how China has eschewed any lingering ambiguity over forceful reunification. chinapower.csis.org/tracking-the-f…
3/ To complicate matters for Taiwanese government leaders, the last couple of weeks have demonstrated challenges with the US policy of #strategic ambiguity. It is a nuanced policy, and it worked well enough when #China was too weak to take #Taiwan by force.

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...

1. This really matters to young people. Nearly 60% of young people surveyed by Bath University felt very worried or extremely worried by climate change. They expect leadership from government, but - crucially - they expect leadership from the organisations they attend every day
2. Great trusts don't wait on a gov. Some are already setting zero carbon targets, others have strategies in place, some are investing in making their estates greener - & already generating returns. See @PalladianTrust @N_StarAT @northstartrust for eg's.

Underlines the Bipartisan nature of #US strategic acquisitions .The Presidential Election has nil effect on acquisition plans or #Defence preparedness. In contrast #India loses 1-2yrs each time a govt changes . This fallacy must be corrected if we are to grow as a global power.
This can be easily corrected by
1) A national #Defence council with one representative from each state govt, CDS & the CAG that can vote on acquisitions in election years.
2) A fixed minimum allocation of 1.5% of GDP for CAPEX that must be legally mandated for all govts .

The thing is in India the Lok Sabha elections put all LS MP seats into elections . That said, your idea could work with the RS MPs taking over under the aegis of the @rashtrapatibhvn I guess!

"There is none so blind, as one who will not see 🙈 "[Contrast this with fact that for 30 years(1974-2003) the USA built a structure of Global institutions to enforce #Global #technological #Apartheid to close India's access to All #strategic #technology 😢]🙉🙊
2/usa Renowned #US #Foreign #Policy & #National #Security #Experts still don't recognize their mistake in opening technology access for Communist #China(> 1980), while keeping #India cut-off from it till 2005. Th #NonProlif #Ayotollahs opposed Bush-MMS nuke accord(2005) till 2010
Surely every serious national security strategist understands the distinction btwn Govts Geopolitical decisions and th military's detailed scenario planning & action program. A govt can decided on basis of expected value of outcome or worst case scenarios-the latter is paralyzing
2/ns The critical issue in China-India conflict is that,as of now (2020), #China controls the #escalatory ladder. So India's #National #Security Apparatus has to make assumptions about when and how #CCPpla will escalate, if it loses the first few steps on its escalatory ladder!
3/ns The worst case scenario for us is therefore the one in which after loosing previous escalations, #CCP China escalates to a full fledged war/attack on India, by shifting US-facing troops and highest quality equipment towards India. This has proved paralyzing for past Govts!🤔
Thread/ As one of the biggest regional escalations in the history of the #Syria war unfolds, here are a few thoughts on the Turkish-Russian/Syrian triangle of fighting in #Idlib – who will back down
A thread about how well #China is playing the international game to become the most prominent economy in this decade, by @swardley.
"Under a secretive deal signed last month with a provincial government in the [#SolomonIslands], a Beijing-based company with close ties to the CCP has secured exclusive development rights for the entire island [of #Tulagi] & its surroundings."
nytimes.com/2019/10/16/wor…
nytimes.com/2019/10/16/wor…
"The island of #Tulagi served as a South Pacific headquarters for Britain then Japan, and during #WorldWarII, its natural deepwater harbor made it a military gem. Now, #China is moving in with plans to effectively take control."
nytimes.com/2019/10/16/wor…
nytimes.com/2019/10/16/wor…
"Even compared to previous #Chinese development deals in nearby countries — including a wharf in #Vanuatu, whose terms were not publicly released for years — the #Tulagi agreement is remarkable for both its scope and lack of public input."

What is so valuable that it’s worth killing and dying for? (A thread)
In war, we have to measure human costs & compare it to the cost of doing nothing. This is hard work.
Recent work by @Amnesty/@Airwars/@danmahanty/@annieshiel helps to show us why. (1/13)

Recent work by @Amnesty/@Airwars/@danmahanty/@annieshiel helps to show us why. (1/13)
@Amnesty/@Airwars recently released a report on civilian casualties (#CIVCAS) in the fight for #Raqqa in which they claim that the coalition (@CJTFOIR) killed 1600 civilians (compared to the coalition claim of only 159) from June-Oct 2017. (2/13)

They go so far as to assert: “The Coalition launched strikes likely to cause excessive harm to civilians and failed to distinguish between military targets and civilians. … Disproportionate or indiscriminate attacks are war crimes.”
Is this right? (3/13)
