As negotiators meet in Abu Dhabi to discuss an end to the war, it's helpful to reflect back on the war's origins. The @kennaninstitute has conducted an extensive series of interviews on these origins with policymakers, journalists and scholars. See below.

The message was loud and clear when I was in Brussels two weeks ago. Just not written down. And the explicit threat was already drawing blowback from Slovaks and others. I totally get the principle. But there are better ways of doing business in European diplomacy.

Statement on Meeting Between the United States, Ukraine, and European Partners:

Ahead of the upcoming trilateral discussions with Russia, representatives of the United States, Ukraine, and European partners met to continue their close coordination on efforts to end the war in Ukraine and establish the conditions for a durable peace, including support for robust security guarantees as part of any settlement.

Discussions took place collaboratively between the United States, Ukraine, and European partners, reflecting their shared objectives, ongoing consultations, and commitment to Euro-Atlantic security. Participants emphasized that any future arrangements must respect sovereignty, territorial integrity, independent decision-making, and provide credible security guarantees for Ukraine.

The shared objective is to develop a practical and mutually reinforcing security framework that strengthens Ukraine’s long-term security and builds the confidence necessary to reach a negotiated settlement.

Alongside a central focus on a lasting peace, the discussion covered how to build upon existing European security institutions and agreements following the conclusion of the war in Ukraine. Participants further recognized that addressing post-war security concerns and reducing the risk of conflict are essential. They discussed how to ensure strong mechanisms for managing risk and avoiding dangerous escalation. The participants reaffirmed their shared commitment to a strong post-war European security architecture and arrangements, and were clear that a strong NATO will remain central to Euro-Atlantic collective defense.

The United States, Ukraine, and European partners will continue working in close partnership throughout the negotiating process, with the shared objective of moving toward broader multilateral discussions involving European partners and achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace.

Again... what if Europe's military build-up is a "Maginot Line" reaction ... the true "attack" being on domestic political fronts... with Putin-friendly parties using bigger military spending as an effective anti-elitist issue. All this planned in Moscow.

The threat of Russian aggression and the risk of U.S. abandonment have triggered a German rearmament of historic proportions, writes expert @LianaFix in her new book, Germany Rearmed: The Return of War and the End of Illusions.

“The transformation of Germany from ‘civilian power’ to a key military power in Europe is one of the defining stories of the still young 21st century," she argues.

Germany’s rearmament takes place at a time of upheaval for Europe and the transatlantic alliance, Fix writes. With the far right on the rise, she addresses the likelihood of Germany assuming a greater military role without reviving old fears among its neighbors.

Challenging Germany’s “myth of pacifism,” Fix argues that, as the post-war order fades, Germany can—and must—become a military power capable of protecting Europe when the United States will not.

“How Germany navigates this moment will shape not only its own future but the future of the continent.”

While the Trump administration has attempted to seize the realist mantle, claiming that its foreign policy is one of “flexible realism,” it has misread core elements of the theory. I explain in @ForeignAffairs with a close reading of Hans Morgenthau’s writings.
