As we wake up to the one of the worst days in Europe's modern history, we have to realize that bold words need to be matched with bold action. My take from #MSC2022
@KKrVA_Sverige @Marshall_Center @ISDP_Sweden @AFF_sweden #föpol #säkpol #utpol @benjaminhaddad
Bolder actions would include sharper sanctions faster; providing arms to Ukraine, and timetables for accession into #EU and #NATO
As for strategy, what does it mean to say that we want Europe whole, free and at peace, while not pushing back strongly on those who contest it?

Against a backdrop of severe tensions with Russia, last week’s #MSC2022 was full of bold words, but little bold action. The stakes are higher than ever—but the transatlantic community does not seem to be up to the challenge.
Here are my takeaways ⬇️
Teamwork and US leadership was a common thread through #MSC2022
In contrast to previous crises, #sanctions packages were prepared, coordinated, and ready to be executed within hours.
The #US has also been helpful with #energy security following the suspension of Nord Stream 2.
Meanwhile, French Defense Minister @florence_parly sets “modest” expectations for European defense.
@Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz called for a strong European pillar in the Alliance, while #Germany’s unwillingness to step up on defense spending prevailed.
