1. What is Neo-Idealism? (seeing as many of you have asked) It’s a new approach to Grand Strategy & International Relations that I think we can see emerging in responses to #Russia’s war & from #Ukraine’s brave resistance. 1st 🧵in a series on #NeoIdealism 1/25

The ambitions of an imperial & aggressive #Russia go far beyond #Ukraine. 🇷🇺 has largely geared its economy and society towards war, recruiting even more soldiers than it currently requires to wage its war of aggression against Ukraine. @AussenMinDE

Chairmen of Foreign Affairs Committees of 20 European countries emphasise in their Joint Statement today that just and lasting peace cannot be achieved by yielding to the aggressor; instead, it must be grounded in international law and respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity,

Sunday evening listening! Check out the great chat that my @HelsingAI colleague @binders_1 & I had with ex @RoyalAirForce Air Marshals Greg Bagwell & Sean Bell on their @airpowerassn podcast ‘The High Ground’ - cutting through the AI hype to get to the real deal on AI & AirPower
What can AI do for AirPower? How do we learn the right lessons from #Ukraine? How can we master technological change to deliver military advantage. Great to be on The High Ground podcast to get into all of this with @gregbagwell & @BellusUK Listen in👇 https://t.co/nn32w58tHg

This is both an untrue and irresponsible statement. The use of any laser against an aircraft is an illegal act: https://t.co/cO8QzjvPow. The CAA highlights the dangers:

This paper provides an overview of the Laser Misuse (Vehicles) Act 2018. The Act provides for new offences of shining or directing a laser beam towards a vehicle or air traffic facility, for which...
Unless the jet is flying EXTREMELY low it is a physical impossibility to shine a laser into the cockpit from a ship.

A new era of threat demands that we invest and innovate. This afternoon @johnhealey_mp opened a new @HelsingAI drone factory in Plymouth, as we confirm that 13 sites have been identified for new munitions and energetics factories across the UK – creating 1,000 new jobs.

The truth is in the field.
Over the past few months Helsing’s next-generation loitering munition HX-2, has been tested by soldiers across four different countries in military-led field tests. The strike drone is autonomous with a human on the loop, and compatible with different warheads.

Is Wagner marching on Moscow again, or starting with St. Petersburg this time? Hard to tell. From our side it looks like they’ve already annexed the Russian border guards. Who knows… @mfa_russia?

In @globeandmail today @Billbrowder @kolga & I call for Canada to “double-freeze” its $22-bn CAD share of Russia’s frozen assets from any possible EU vetoes. Doing so also boosts Canada’s voice in new European plans for the assets. #MakeRussiaPay

A scenario that sees frozen funds flow out of Canadian banks and back to Russia would undermine our international credibility

Great to be back in London, and back on Whitehall for the RUSI Military Technology Conference 2025. Our ability to master military change at a time of disruptive technological shift will define the security of our democracies - and our free future.
