@jan_techau But will this be a wake up call to narrow the @Nato capabilities gap?

@jan_techau @DefSecProf I mention EU's lack of nuclear doctrine at nearly every event I do; EU doesn't want to talk about it. C'est la vie.

@ProfMESmith @jan_techau ooooh, the American buggie man.

@DefSecProf @jan_techau Soon to be British-American (or Ameri-British?), I'll have you know! I'll start complaining with a posh accent...

@ProfMESmith you mean you are still not there? I swore my fealty to HM several years ago. On account of the discount on fine teas

@DefSecProf Well I had to save up to pay the fee; I'm just a lowly academic, you know!

@ProfMESmith you get it back in the "you're not from around here are you's" and the "no but I'm British damnit"

@DefSecProf Yes, that's the fun over here; at home in US (i.e., the south) it's 'are you English or what'? I'll encounter that in DC next wk

@jan_techau @EuroGeostrategy #Europeans (#UK and #France) have their own #nuclear weapons with a second-strike capability to deter #Russia.

@jan_techau @EuroGeostrategy The bigger issue is to remind #Europeans (and esp. #UK and #France) just how vital #nuclear #weapons still are!

@james_rogers @jan_techau @EuroGeostrategy Ukraine is a case in point... would Russia be as brazen if they still had nuclear capabilities?
