🔵 European nations are already demonstrating the political will to act jointly. Operations such as #Takuba, #ASPIDES, and #Atalanta prove that cooperation is possible, even outside the conventional framework of the Common Security and Defence Policy #CSDP. ⏩

Did you know that if a European Armed Forces personnel serves longer than 30 days in direct support of a #CSDP Mission they receive a medal?

@eudiplomacy.bsky.social #TeamEurope

"...SDPs can help Europe bridge that gap. An example could be crisis management..."

Interesting point in an interesting paper. #CrisisManagement & #CSDP are hardly mentioned in #EU defence nowadays but I agree with @gesineweber.bsky.social: this is an area for more partnerships beyond #NATO #EU.

🚨Hot off the press!

I actually think #NATO (and the US) will survive Trump, but won't be the same. Like a marriage after an affair.

NATO is too useful both for the US and the 31 others (assuming Hungary gets rid of Orbán).

Article 5 in coma, but there's other stuff. Meanwhile #CSDP and #JEF, and perhaps Euroarmy.
