Russia's Gunboat Diplomacy in the Caribbean: Strategic Posturing or Routine Operations? Russia's upcoming deployment of combat vessels and aircraft to the Caribbean this summer marks its first coordinated naval and air activity in the Western Hemisphere since 2019. These exercises are expected to include port calls in Cuba and possibly Venezuela. Despite bombastic media coverage, the Biden administration has stated this deployment does not pose a direct threat to the United States. A senior US official remarked, “We are not concerned by Russia's deployments, which pose no direct threat to the United States”. The exercises are viewed as routine naval activity, with the US Navy monitoring them closely. The anticipated exercises continue Russia's historical pattern of maintaining a naval presence in the Western Hemisphere, with regular deployments from 2013 to 2020. The current manoeuvres are seen as both a continuation of established patterns and as part of Moscow’s ongoing strategic messaging efforts. This development occurs amidst heightened tensions between the US and Russia, further intensified by US President Joe Biden’s recent decision to lift the ban on Ukraine using US-supplied arms to strike within Russian territory. However, it is important to note that the planning of these Russian naval exercises predates this recent decision and therefore should not be interpreted as a direct response. Despite this, Russia-leaning media outlets are likely to portray the exercises as an escalatory retaliation to gain traction within the information space. The deployments will likely culminate in a global naval exercise in the autumn, showcasing Russia's intent to demonstrate its naval capabilities despite challenges with an aging fleet. Recent reporting suggests that the Russian Navy’s flagship and sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, a notoriously unreliable craft often escorted by tugs throughout a service history dating back to 1985 that has been constantly marred by accidents, breakdowns, embezzlement, and other setbacks, is now non-operational and may never return to service. With the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season (spanning from 01 June to 30 November) predicting an 85% chance of an above-normal season, the Russian Navy’s continued passage through tumultuous waters seems almost certain.

In the Red Sea, the United States has been unsuccessful in persuading most allies to send warships and join its coalition, known as Operation Prosperity Guardian. However, there are powerful tools available beyond military force that are crucial, as some of the most influential maritime nations do not possess large fleets of warships but have significant means of exerting influence to safeguard shipping lanes beyond pure gunboat diplomacy.

The evolution of military power in modern foreign policy reflects a transition from traditional military engagement to a more nuanced approach that includes defense diplomacy and strategic partnerships. As global challenges become increasingly complex, the integration of military capabilities into diplomatic efforts will likely continue to shape the conduct of foreign policy in the 21st century.

Fascinating day delving into the inner workings of NATO and European diplomacy. Learning about the intricate dynamics of national military forces within NATO missions was eye-opening. Insightful discussions on defense funding and Europe's defense landscape. Engaging briefings by Ambassador Istavan Balough and Nicola de Santis and a glimpse into Embassy operations. Exploring the European External Action Service, akin to the EU's department of state, and its network of embassies. Valuable insights for our collaborations with European universities on programs like Erasmus, Horizon, and NATO for fundamental research. Nice briefings by Luca Kadar and Raoul B. #Diplomacy #NATO #EuropeanUnion

In this report, we find that China puts significant effort to re-engage with foreign militaries post pandemic. Southeast Asia and Russia remain China’s primary partners, with emerging strategic importance also seen in Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East.

A Concept Comes Alive: Defense Diplomacy in The Caribbean. Nothing new by any stretch of the imagination but possibly improved. A concept that likely gained prominence during the Cold War, now, routinely applied within our regional security context. "In today's world, the successful use of military force often requires an understanding of the political, social, and economic context in which it is employed. Defense diplomacy offers a framework for integrating military power with diplomatic efforts to achieve strategic objectives and promote international security." Sir Lawrence Freedman. The interconnectedness of international security challenges highlights the importance of diplomatic engagement. Through joint exercises, like Ex Trogon Shield, the concept of defence diplomacy is demonstrated. See below CBC report on Canadian support to the regional task force. Further, Janne E. Nolan emphasizes that integration underscores the necessity of aligning defense policy with diplomatic objectives. She advocates for a holistic approach to national security that integrates defense, diplomacy, and development efforts. Nolan highlights that effective defense diplomacy requires coordination across government agencies, including the military, diplomatic corps, and development organizations. By aligning military capabilities with diplomatic goals, countries within the region can pursue strategic interests while minimizing the risk of unintended consequences. Nolan's research emphasizes the importance of strategic coherence in shaping foreign policy and enhancing national security. Scholars like Freedman, Nolan and Walt offer insightful perspectives on the concept of defense diplomacy. Will focus some efforts on expanding my research in this area. #defensediplomacy #nationalsecurity #diplomacy #caribbean
