🧵A man who killed five people and injured 17 others inside a Colorado night club, has been charged with 305 criminal counts over the deadly shooting.
The shooting associated with Oslo Pride in 2022, as well as the attacks on LGBTQ+ spaces in Colorado and Bratislava are part of a wider #antifeminist, misogynist narrative that is espoused across extremisms.
#FarRight ideologies are often grounded in their focus on national agendas and ethnic purity, but #misogyny and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is an issue that links them across different local contexts.
Our @CT_MORSE project explored how #FarRight extremism in the Western Balkans, Turkey, and South Africa, whilst very different local contexts, is linked by misogynist narratives.

Our @crest_research project with @GpsMonash looks at how #misogyny in #FarRight ideologies helps link and increases transmissibility of narratives across cultural contexts.

Join us next week for the launch of a new book by @J_White692 that considers why and how gender mainstreaming must occur across preventing and countering violent extremism efforts to increase their effectiveness.

A #gender lens is essential to ensuring policy makers and practitioners are aware of gender dynamics and how they are both part of the problem and the solution.

🚨New RUSI Report, ‘Towards a New Model for Economic Crime Policing: Target 2030’ by @helenacjwood (of @CFCS_RUSI) and Karen Baxter out now!
rusi.org/explore-our-re…
The recent public attention given to the UK’s role in Russia-related money laundering, and concerns about fraud during the coronavirus pandemic have elevated the recognition of fraud and money laundering as national security threats.
On this basis our new report makes the case for adopting a national security policing model in response, drawing from the lessons of other national security policing responses and adapting them the unique challenges and context of economic crime.

🚨New RUSI Special Resource, 'Preliminary Lessons in Conventional Warfighting from Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: February–July 2022' by Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi, @Jack_Watling, Oleksandr V Danylyuk and Nick Reynolds is out now!
rusi.org/explore-our-re…
The full-scale invasion of Ukraine has provided an unparalleled opportunity to assess the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation's military capabilities and the implications of a range of capabilities for modern warfare.
Ensuring that the correct lessons are drawn from this conflict is vital for Ukraine, if it is to receive appropriate military support from its allies, and for NATO members if they are to ensure they are militarily capable of deterring aggression in the future.

1|8 🚨New RUSI Occasional Paper, ‘From Famine to Feast? The Implications of 3% for the UK Defence Budget’ by @MChalmers_RUSI is out now!

rusi.org/explore-our-re…
2|8 To deliver on a commitment to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2030, a Liz Truss government will need to increase defence spending by around 60% in real terms. This is equivalent to some £150 billion additional spending over the next eight years.
3|8 The increase in defence spending would require careful planning and preparation; it would mean investing in new industrial capacities and putting in place the process for building a larger service personnel workforce.

🚨As Biden returns from his visit to the Middle East and efforts to restore the JCPOA continue, the new RUSI report ‘Chain Reactions: The Iranian Nuclear Programme and Gulf Security Dynamics’ by @tobiasborck and @DDolzikova is out now!

rusi.org/explore-our-re…
Western policy has historically divorced the Iran nuclear issue and regional Gulf security – often, intentionally-so. This approach has been criticised by the six Gulf Cooperation Council states - Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
They see Iran’s regional security as a greater threat than its nuclear programme and have felt excluded from the diplomatic process.
