Secondary theatres don’t just distract the US—they can also strengthen its position vs China. The real question: when do tradeoffs outweigh payoffs? I identify 5 variables 👇

Europa entra en una nueva fase. EE. UU. seguirá en la OTAN —pero ya no será el garante principal de la defensa convencional. ¿Está dispuesta Europa a asumir la responsabilidad estratégica que lleva décadas posponiendo? Mi artículo en @el_pais elpais.com/opinion/2026-0…

Grateful to my friends in #Spain at @rielcano for publishing this piece. Special thanks to @LuisSimn I like and commend his concept of fungibility: using national security priorities to generate capabilities useful for defence priorities of others. Solidarity in diversity! 👇
Real Instituto Elcano@rielcano

In a context where the United States expects Europeans to accelerate the process of assuming primary responsibility for their own security, Europe should seek to preserve NATO while developing its own #defence capabilities. ✍️ @RobertPszczel realinstitutoelcano.org/en/analyses/th…

I am ver glad that many leading Japanologists fully understand, and rightly explain, the realities of Japanese politics, unlike some misleading media reports.

Impressive election victory for Japan's PM Sanae Takaichi. If you're sick of Western headlines about the far-right, extremist, hawkish, right-wing ultraconservative PM and the fights she's picking with China, I repost this for you: blueblaze.substack.com/p/a-hawk-in-ea…
