The Royal Navy at the forefront of hybrid, “crewed where necessary, uncrewed wherever possible, and integrated always”. Some functions are allocated to complementing uncrewed vessels but the decision maker stays in the element, at sea, on a sophisticated platform. www.navaltoday.com/2026/07/06/t...

Det ser lika förrädiskt vackert ut vid första anblick som billig fanér på spånskiva - det gedigna innehållet saknas och helheten är stum och tom. AI kan vara nästan lika bra som en korrläsande kollega men när det står för resonemang, språk och stil blir det ihåligt.

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

Hybris har många ansikten. Den här administrationen är fientlig mot oss, och riskerar Nato’s avskräckning förutom att den sviker Ukraina. Istället agerar den för ryska och kinesiska intressen.
Capricious actions under lack of impulse control and thorough reasoning provide great incentives to further facilitate reliable intra-European trade under stable conditions within the EU and between close allies and partners.
No one should accept unfounded claims from the aggressor who has indiscriminately targeted Ukraine’s infrastructure and civilians since the start of the war. (2/2)

Delighted to have had the opportunity to adress the Swedish shipping community at Donsö Shipping Meet on the subject of military protection of shipping. Some 15+ years ago when I first started working with this, I could never have dreamed of interest like this. A pleasure to contribute!
