2/8 I look at #GLOBSEC from the perspective of how "small states" in Central & Eastern Europe set out to improve their positions within the social hierarchy of the Western community after they had joined the EU & NATO. Slovakia is a particularly interesting case for two reasons:
3/8 First, after 1992 it had to cope with two challenges at once, state-building and democratization. Second, the political struggle between the elites in the 1990s (Mečiarism) delayed integration into Western institutions, at least when compared to the other Visegrad members.

Numbers still well done on peaks. A number of factors: awful weather, and highly likely the invaders are short on cattle/soldiers and ammo meaning fewer attacks across the frontline.

I wondered if, for #Ukraine, it could be different this time ...

Today during the new phase of #UkraineRussiaWar, I'll talk about why Nordic, Eastern Europeans and Central Asians want #Russia to be disintegrated, and how pro-Russian supporters seek to undermine these narratives. Thread. 🧵
The map of Russia is very big. Including the Kaliningrad exclave, Russia borders 13 countries on land and one country at the sea. However, Tsarist and Soviet conquests also led to Russia having some sort of influence beyond the border.
Being an inland empire, Russia expanded via land, a different compared to typical Western maritime empires. And Russia has, for a long time, treated its colonies in a brutal, repressive manner.

🧵Weeks ago I set out on the quest to find out concretely what European states are doing to restock national ammo stocks in the face of growing shortages. Here are 4 trends that emerged from Czech R, Norway, UK, Germany, France, Romania, Slovakia & Poland
shephardmedia.com/news/landwarfa…
shephardmedia.com/news/landwarfa…
2. Based on interviews/research: states have opted to 1) hire more workers to increase production levels of national factories and overall workforce; 2) are placing long-term orders to European ammo producers to expand their production capability; 3) adding manufacturing lines.
3. Amongst the ones to have opted for the 1st option is #Czech Republic, who announced recently that it would be welcoming “thousands” of #Ukrainian experts and workers into the country to raise manufacturing speed and military capacity.
