[THREAD] At yesterday's @MunSecConf, #UK Prime Minister @BorisJohnson gave the best foreign speech of any European leader. What were his key points? gov.uk/government/spe… [1/6]
1. That the #UK is back. #GlobalBritain will play a leading role in upholding the defence of #Europe and deterring threats to global security. This includes overcoming the #Covid19 pandemic, which the UK is fighting with #COVAX and the revolutionary @AstraZeneca vaccine... [2/6]
2. That #EuroAtlantic democracies need to push back against declinism and gloom. That means ending babble about ‘#Westlessness’ (🙄) and ‘strategic autonomy’ and a more active defence of liberal democracy around the world... [3/6]
It’s time for my traditional train Twitter thread after @MunSecConf. As our Chairman @ischinger said, we’re all tired now. But the most important thing is that we had a weekend of vivid debates! #MSC2020
I’m glad that the title of our #MSCreport – #Westlessness – triggered some of them. We think of the MSR as a conversation starter for the conference, and it worked well this year – in particular because some thought it accurately described the zeitgeist, and others disagreed.
Are you still wondering – like my my two-year old (“Papa, was soll das heißen?"| "Dad, what does this even mean?”) – what this term is meant to convey? You can re-watch my presentation of the #MSCreport in Berlin. #Westlessness securityconference.org/en/medialibrar…
