European Commission’s Post

I recommend everyone to watch the principled speech of the fearless Yulia Navalnya below. Her husband Alexei Navalny, a Russian hero of freedom, was murdered by Putin on the day that Ukrainian President Zelens'ky concluded a comprehensive security partnership with the two largest continental European states in Berlin and Paris. With the setting of this monstrous and cynical sign, Putin has once again confirmed that there can be no more peace in Europe with him. Ukraine must be empowered to successfully withstand the war with Russia and on this basis diplomacy may achieve negotiations for a ceasefire that freezes the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Real peace negotiations can be conducted only after Putin with a Russian government that recognises human rights, international law and the European peace order on the basis of the existing treaties. Until then, the European democracies and their allies must stand their ground through military strength, political resilience, credible deterrence and continued military assistance to Ukraine within the framework of international law. This will cost much more than we would like. This will take much longer than we expect, probably a generation. But, there is no alternative, whatever it costs. In the end, we will prevail and have a European peace order again.

The Australia-India-Japan-United States partnership known as the Quad makes frequent statements regarding the East and South China Sea and the partners’ shared commitment to bolstering the rules-based maritime order. However, the Australia-United Kingdom-United States trilateral grouping, AUKUS, has been much more active in the dynamics of the South China Sea dispute than the Quad. John Bradford and Ralf Emmers discuss how the quiescence of the Quad reflects India’s differing worldview regarding the optimum nature of a “rules-based maritime order” and its own emerging position as a global power.   Read more in IDSS Paper “The Quad and the South China Sea: Making Waves Without Taking Action.”   #RSIS #IDSSPaper #TheQuad #AUKUS #Maritime

https://lnkd.in/ebs-ysda If president Xi Jinping is coming to France this year 2024, it's that he wants to pay tribute to Charles de Gaulle for the establishment of diplomatic relations 60 years ago between France and China, whereas the UK already recognised China in 1950 (due to Hong Kong) and other small Western nations before France, Charles de Gaulle 1964 decision marked the real begining of the multi-polar world. The sexagenary cycle or 60 years cycle, also known as the stems-and-branches or ganzhi (Chinese: 干支), is a cycle of sixty terms, each corresponding to one year, thus a total of sixty years for one cycle, historically used for recording time in China and the rest of the East Asian cultural sphere (including Ahom kingdom of Assam).

With limited natural geographic defences, Poland has historically depended on a combination of diplomatic initiatives and military strength to ensure its security. Membership in the European Union and NATO, coupled with a prolonged period of relative peace, may have led Poland to adopt a somewhat complacent posture in this regard. However, in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Poland has undertaken a strategic pivot, making substantial investments in its military capabilities. Take a look at my latest collaboration with the CaspianReport, where we assess Poland's potential to emerge as a military powerhouse, while also questioning the feasibility of these ambitious goals. https://lnkd.in/eACcGXgn

What are the implications of Sweden and Finaland joining NATO on their neutral, humanitarian and mediation diplomacy. Has this move seriously challenged the Constructivist paradigm of “ acquired neutral identity”? What challenges faced by countries like Sweden and Finland in balancing their historical neutrality principles with their new NATO affiliations and the militarization of the Scandinavia and the potential risks involved in this strategic shift. As a former buffer & neutral country, Afghanistan 🇦🇫 suffered from disruptions of stg balance after the Soviet invasion in 1979. I had these questions for a while. I am very grateful to Dr. Pascal Lottaz, Kyoto University for organizing this important discussion with Professor Peo Hansen from Linköping University in Sweden, Dr. Tapio Juntunen from Tampere University in Finland. I shared my concerns, ideas and experiences of Afghanistan. The insights shared by experts shed light on the implications of this militarization on the region and the global stage. https://lnkd.in/g9UUXd-x
