🧵Those who know me know I care a lot about understanding the future of security+conflict & helping policy systems adapt for what tomorrow may bring. So it's a *great* day when I get to geek out about these issues w/ @politico. cc @POLITICOMag 1/n https://t.co/7A2U5QscZS

The Pentagon is increasingly waking up to serious national security hazards that aren’t nukes, tanks and bombs. A leading expert explains what the U.S. needs to do about these non-traditional threats.

Hope and patience. 🇷🇴 My analysis for @AtlanticCouncil on the recent Romanian election's implications.
Romanians don’t want more of the same, so how will Dan be different? “Hope and patience.” This is what Dan, the now president-elect of Romania, asked for in his speech when the first exit polls were released. Patience because his mandate will be an incredibly difficult one.

My thoughts on yesterday's Romanian🇷🇴 election. The result certifies Romanians want to be firmly anchored in Europe, but the new president will have a difficult mandate ahead.
FAST THINKING: Bucharest Mayor @NicusorDanRO won Sunday’s 🇷🇴 Romanian presidential election. @Olari_Victoria, @AmbDanFried, and @AncaAgachi share their insights on what to expect next for Romania and for the country’s relations with the world: https://t.co/V8rYQzEk5A

The NATO Summit madness begins tomorrow. In case your reading list isn't long enough already, @RANDCorporation has some fantastic pieces out (with more to come) on key issues on the summit agenda. Check out what @BHMcClintock and I have to say about @NATO and the final frontier.
The summit presents a critical opportunity to build on NATO's slow, steady progress on space. @BHMcClintock and @AncaAgachi explain:

Most anything @ProfPaulPoast writes is insightful, but this piece is particularly helpful in putting things into perspective, particularly in considering multipolarity as a potential underlying cause of present challenges.
"We do not need to be in a world war to be in a world at war." I wrote that statement in a piece for @TheAtlantic, "Not a World War But a World at War" What does that statement mean? [THREAD] https://t.co/W9qcTZaMEt

And I also never read New Yorker articles about writing and post them on Twitter instead of actually writing the thing I am supposed to. https://t.co/pT2LG2XQUJ

Shouts & Murmurs: My experience of writing is a giddy, pleasurable one, and does not feel like being trapped inside a cage that is on fire.

A very welcome even if at times overly critical review of crisis management. There is now room for out-of-the-box thinking about the future of crisis management. What could crisis management look like in the era and context of strategic competition? 1/4
In order to remain relevant, int. crisis management needs to change and adapt to the changing world. In this @FIIA_fi paper me and Olli Ruohomäki suggest ways towards more realistic, shorter, smaller and more effective interventions.

This is an excellent piece from @ricbdc about how we can move the needle on foresight. The need to make the discipline much more responsive and action-oriented is especially well taken.
❓As EU’s executive capacity increases, #foresight should focus more on action & consider what needs to be done to avoid future problems before they develop. In simple terms, foresight needs to become #forethought‼️ Read @FabianZuleeg’s & my take: https://t.co/TZvbZnO3Hb

Easiest way to make any (this?) woman happy: let her sit in a Eurofighter Typhoon. Great perk of my @AtlanticCouncil job to visit MK base and learn more about 🇷🇴 & allied force posture & presence at the Black Sea.
Last week, @ACScowcroft’s Black Sea Task Force traveled to Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base in 🇷🇴 for a first-hand look at security & defense in the Black Sea. Insights from Commander Nicolae Crețu, the @ItalianAirForce, & @10MTNDIV will inform the group's Black Sea strategy.
