At next week's NATO summit in Ankara, allies will aim to underscore unity, defense spending, new weapons contracts, aid to Ukraine & a bigger European role, while host Ankara also showcases Türkiye's importance. But if that's text, subtext is keeping an erratic US engaged. New @crisisgroup.org Q&A

What to Expect at the NATO Summit | International Crisis Group

As NATO prepares for its 2026 summit, European members’ immediate concerns centre less on what to do about Ukraine than on whether the U.S. president might spoil the intended show of unity. In this Q&...

Tests suggest Russian satellites can jam GPS on a continental scale

Russian satellites have been identified as the cause of mysterious, seconds-long bursts of GPS interference across Europe—a rare example of human-made GPS interference coming from space. But uncertainty still hangs over whether such interference is intentional and if it could be more powerfully weaponized as GPS jamming with continental reach in the future. The discovery came from an investigation detailed in a June 2 preprint paper by Todd Humphreys and his student Zach Clements at The University of Texas at Austin, along with Argyris Krizise at Stanford University in California. By sifting through public data from ground-based stations with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, they identified a pattern of high-powered interference lasting less than 10 seconds each time but simultaneously detectable by ground stations across Europe from Norway to Spain to Poland, and even reaching as far west as Greenland and Canada. By analyzing the ground station data from January 2019 to April 2026, the researchers found 75 days with at least one widespread GNSS interference event overlapping with the GPS L1 frequency band centered on 1575.42 megahertz. That represents the main band used for signal transmission by the US-made GPS satellite constellation and GNSS constellations from other countries. Read full article Comments

Was hat Psychologie mit demokratischer Resilienz und Staatsreform zu tun? Stress verändert, wie wir denken. Er verengt unseren Blick, verstärkt den Status-quo-Bias und lässt uns an Routinen festhalten – selbst dann, wenn die Situation das eigentlich nicht mehr erlaubt.

It was a real pleasure to collaborate on this with an outstanding group of colleagues! I’m looking forward to discussing it in Munich at #MSC2026. Europe’s nuclear choices are complex, consequential, and will require sustained work.

The report of our European Nuclear Study Group, co-chaired by James W. Davis, Claudia Major and me, is online now: securityconference.org/en/publicati... Our co-authors: Janina Dill, Héloïse Fayet, Liviu Horovitz, Łukasz Kulesa, Andreas Lutsch, Michal Onderco, Jintro Pauly, Julian Wucherpfennig.

Cover of the report of the European Nuclear Study Group - title: "Managing the Deterrence Gap: Assessing Europe's Nuclear Options." The report is part of a joint project of the Munich Security Conference, the Centre for International Security at the Hertie School, and the Institute of Political Science at the University of St. Gallen.

Ab heute gibt es mein Buch im Handel. Es geht um Russland, China und die Frage, was es heisst, wenn die USA vom Verbündeten zum Bully werden. Mein Buch zeigt, vor welchen sicherheitspolitischen Herausforderungen Europa steht, was zu tun ist, und welche Rolle Deutschland dabei spielt.
