I called UK 🇬🇧 MoD Ben Wallace to reaffirm our defense relationship & the importance of transatlantic cooperation. Today’s call was a continuation of our discussion at the Pentagon last week, which covered a wide range of shared defense & security priorities, including Ukraine.





First panel at #nukecon. Can the Ukraine war end without nuclear use? Kori Schake 🌻🇺🇦 @kschake.bsky.social argues that if the U.S. gets intel that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons, it should provide that intel to Ukraine so Kiev can preempt.

Mariana Budjeryn on “deterrence or disarmament” panel Carnegie Nuclear Policy #nukecon:🇺🇦 gave up USSR nukes for security guarantees…and then has faced sustained aggression by 🇷🇺. Non-nuclear states facing aggression from nuke states will assess cost/benefit of considering nukes w/this in mind.
