For a safer world…

As we approach 2030, what awaits us in Turkey and the troubled regions surrounding it? How much support will NATO provide to Turkey? These are all questions that are highly anticipated to be answered.

Sunday Read. Global Security Review - Fortifying America’s Pacific Presence: Revitalizing Tinian Island’s Airfield. Tinian’s strategic value extends beyond its physical attributes. It also plays a role in strengthening alliances and partnerships with regional allies, such as Japan and South Korea, by demonstrating American commitment to regional security and stability. The strategic value of establishing an airfield on Tinian outweighs the challenges, given its importance for projecting American military power and political influence in the Pacific region. #powerprojection #NuclearDeterrence #GlobalSecurity #PacificTheater https://ow.ly/KcTF50RsAEJ

NATO and friends: a tale of two exercises 17th June 2024 As NATO marks its 75th anniversary, Callum Fraser considers the strategic role of exercises in delivering deterrence in the Euro-Atlantic and Asia-Pacific arenas. As NATO prepares to mark its 75th anniversary against the dark backdrop of the Ukraine conflict, it has just completed its largest and perhaps most significant post-Cold War exercise, Steadfast Defender. On the other side of the world, where strategic clouds are gathering, Australia and the United States are laying plans for the largest and most important edition yet of their main biennial joint training exercise, Talisman Sabre. This will likely also involve the most significant contributions yet by other partner nations, including from Europe. These two major sets of manoeuvres are a reminder of the importance of exercises in delivering defence, deterrence and strategic messaging – demonstrating both will and capability. They also point to the increasingly intertwined security concerns and connections between the Euro-Atlantic and Asia-Pacific theatres.

I wrote this to NATO, but will naturally never receive an answer. This is a real challenge for them, that they cannot "respond" to... "How did that work out for you with hundreds of thousand dead of both Russian and Ukrainian men? Help me and everyone here understand why you went against all agreements with Russia and expanded to the East despite your promises to Putin NOT to do so? Help us understand also why so much military (2-6%) of every member's GDP is necessary for two otherwise peaceful countries, Russia and China, who won't start any wars or invasions if not provoked and if agreements ARE kept by NATO, i.e. no expansion to the East, and no military to Taiwan? My comments are merely questions that many of us have, both in my 30000 connection network on this platform, but also at my speeches, and event." #truth #leadership #bullyingnations #freedom #safety #security #maslow #stress #fear #threat #money #tax #inflation

Here’s a tough challenge! How many are left in our community who know how to stand up a combined joint POTF mission with US and NATO authorities? Where is our template on design and negotiations with (congress, SecDef, and allies) for authorities which must occur if we deploy with NATO? We backed into that structure in the last few missions, perhaps it would be better to start off with a unified mission? https://lnkd.in/gjeASkH8

I’m excited to share my latest article for the Lithuanian Annual Strategic Review. I discuss how Finland is embracing a Nordic-Atlantic orientation within NATO, driven by strategic military factors and, also, cooperation beyond the alliance's structures. Importantly, this evolving approach does not overlook the Baltic Sea region or Finland's Baltic allies, as both are essential to Finnish national security. ➡ https://lnkd.in/dihx_JHB
