@ConStelz I think the spirit is exactly right. But the ask should be on arms support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia. On our side, we do issue linkage for common security objectives - freedom of navigation, resisting imperial aggression - not personal deals for narrow goals.

This is the right spirit. But we should ask for the return of US arms donations to Ukraine and serious pressure on Russia. The idea being that we play hardball for common security goals - freedom of navigation/resisting aggression - not our own economic interests.
Gideon Rachman@gideonrachman

If the US is asking European and Asian allies to send their navies to the Strait of Hormuz, they should consider demanding an immediate cessation of all US tariffs on them in return. I don't think Trump would hesitate to make that demand, if the situations were reversed.

"In the five stages of grief, Europe is still too stuck in denial". Agree with @sbeverts observation. To remain relevant, #EU must skip the denial, anger, bargaining, and depression phases, accept the new realities and act with even greater confidence. iss.europa.eu/activities/new…

Proud to take part in the EU Ambassadors Conference this week and contribute to key policy debates. Great exchanges with @sbeverts on navigating EU–China relations, and with @joristeer on strengthening economic security in times of conflict.

China: the EU should speak less & do more Great discussion at the launch of our new report offering a fresh perspective on 🇪🇺🇨🇳relations: Beijing is more fragile than we think. Europe has leverage - if it chooses to use it. With Tomas Baert, Trade Adviser to @vonderleyen.

@ruehlig @Aligarciaherrer A new report from the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), the EU’s official think tank, said “China’s weakness creates opportunities” for the bloc to use its chokepoints and leverage to bring Beijing to the negotiating table in a credible way.

New - Europe warned: weaponise EU market against China or face manufacturing collapse My report on new research from @ruehlig & @Aligarciaherrer that says: 1. China's economy is not as strong as Europe fears 2. Europe has leverage, use it or lose it scmp.com/news/china/dip…

Many people say China is all powerful and there is little Europe can do to shape its choices. New @EU_ISS report argues that is analytically wrong and politically defeatist. We should use reverse dependencies and leverage based diplomacy to protect European interests. How? ⤵️

#China is often seen as an unstoppable economic power. But Beijing is also increasingly fragile. New Chaillot Paper by @Aligarciaherrer & @ruehlig argues the EU has more leverage than it thinks - and should use it strategically ➡️ ow.ly/1p0650Yq7EC

Europe’s strategic autonomy is often proclaimed but still far from reality. The path is clear, write @sbeverts & Matteo Signorini: • think & act in terms of power • make rearmament a success • design decision-making rules that work under disagreement 🔗tepsa.eu/policy-advice/…

Oorlog in het Midden Oosten. Zoals wel vaker in Europa gaat het over wat we ervan vinden, en minder over wat we gaan doen. Europa moet brug slaan van oplepelen van principes naar uitoefenen van invloed. De wedstrijd wordt niet vanaf de zijlijn gewonnen. nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/03…

What’s really going on in Russia? Understanding our adversary is key to defending Europe’s security & democratic resilience. Today, with @PLintheEU, we take a closer look at Russia’s economy, society & future — to prepare for the Russia we face, not the one we wish for.
