We need think seriously about more Europe on defence as 🇺🇸 turns elsewhere, and a new report gives ample food for thought. I have previously argued for building on the Coalition of the Willing format, which is one of the alternatives in the report. https://www.ceps.eu/ceps-publications/more-europe-in-defence-three-pathways/

Flashback! A fake voter fraud video can do real damage. Russia's Storm-1516's goal was not just to fool people. It made Americans believe democracy itself is rigged, broken, and not worth defending. #FBI #ElectionSecurity #Russia https://apnews.com/article/fbi-russia-georgia-fraud-disinformation-eebea4ab200682ccd3e97fb9f164e6ca?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=share

This day in 1945, a unit of the pro-independence Polish Home Army freed all Polish citizens, resistance fighters and political prisoners from a Soviet NKVD camp located in Rembertów at Warsaw. Approx. 50 escapees were caught and some summarily executed. #WW2

Ukraine should refuse to communicate with Witkoff. He represents Putin.

It's still going on... beware! Storm-1516 showed how Russia attacks America without missiles. Fake videos, fake news sites, and paid actors can poison voters’ trust and make Americans doubt each other. That's information warfare aimed at our homeland. #Russia #Disinformation #HomelandSecurity https://apnews.com/article/russia-disinformation-foreign-influence-election-microsoft-7f802f9f4a0efe206fdaad29516b1f7f?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=share
