Vladimir Putin has undermined U.S. efforts against Iran: Pentagon official justthenews.com/world/middle-e…

🧵U.S. military posture in Europe, including in Germany, not only strengthens deterrence against additional Kremlin aggression but also facilitates the projection of American military power into the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Africa. The primary victim of a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany would be American national security interests, and the primary beneficiary would be Vladimir Putin.

“In 2016, [@SundarPichai] had declared Google would be an “AI-first company,” and began cultivating a series of projects—custom chips, Cloud, YouTube, and deep AI research—that seemed to have nothing to do with Google’s core search product.

@DmytroKuleba Shooting down any Russian aircraft entering NATO airspace at first sight.

Whether you believe Russia is capable of attacking an EU country or not, Putin’s desire to do so is real. European security therefore faces a hard dilemma. An aggressor usually attacks when the victim is weak. It has no reason to wait until the victim grows stronger. So refusing to accelerate Europe’s rearmament keeps Europe weak and tempts Russia to strike. But accelerating rearmament also creates risk: Russia may decide it must strike before Europe becomes strong enough to defend itself. In my view, the real danger is rearmament that is too slow to deter, but visible enough to make Moscow think it should act before the window closes. Which course do you think is safer for deterring aggression?
