Das Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit in Europa ist groß, vor allem seit der russischen Vollinvasion der Ukraine. Eine neue Studie der @boelleu.bsky.social zeigt erstmals, welche innereuropäischen Sicherheitsabkommen seit 2014 geschlossen wurden: www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/sich... 1/2

Interesting analysis of bilateral security and defence partnerships in Europe since 2024 from @boelleu.bsky.social This tracks over 160 new agreements, most of them since 2024/25. Amongst EU members, France (as nuclear power) and then Germany are the most sought for partner.

@rkefferputz.bsky.social pushes back: "The analogy is, of course, absurd. China’s century of humiliation stripped the country of its sovereignty and contributed to tens of millions of deaths through war, occupation, and famine. Nobody is dying in Athens, Antwerp, or Aachen because of a 15% tariff."

What are they smoking at Politico? Comparing the US-EU trade deal to China's century of humiliation. Wow, just wild, and trivialises China's historical experience.

POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · 11mo ago

Ursula von der Leyen’s dash to Donald Trump’s golf resort in Scotland last month to seal an unbalanced trade deal has raised fears among politicians and analysts that Europe has lost the leverage that it once thought it had as a leading global trade power.

Iceland’s new government has promised to hold a referendum on the country’s EU accession by 2027 at the latest. 💡 A geopolitical window of opportunity has opened up: the new strategic context created by Russia’s war & Trump’s return have prompted shifts in public opinion in 🇮🇸, #Norway & #Greenland.
