Ich empfinde als Deutscher tiefe Scham, dass wir einen Altkanzler haben, der Wladimir Putin zum Geburtstag besucht, während dieser die Ukraine kaputtbombt. Meine Gedanken aus Kyiv, ohne viel Licht, weil die russische Armee dauerhaft bombardiert.

@DrRadchenko and I received a very warm welcome in Ankara from H.E. Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Türkiye's Foreign Minister from 2014 to 2023.

We had a fascinating conversation about his role as a mediator during the Istanbul negotiations, the grain deal, the September 2022 prisoner exchange, and much more.

The @HooverInst Russo-Ukrainian War Oral History Project is becoming the world's most comprehensive academic account of the war. Broadening its scope beyond Euro-American perspectives to encompass the global ramifications of this terrible conflict is an invaluable undertaking.

Germany faces a conundrum. On the one hand, the country is under attack, with Russia's sabotage campaign focused on stoking German angst. On the other hand, the far right's recent state-level electoral victory hands ammunition to those who warn of a remilitarising Germany.

In my essay for @EngelsbergIdeas, I argue that the centre has no alternative to double victory, at home and abroad. The second requires Germany to articulate and pursue a strategy of Machtpolitik — power politics — to contain an imperial Russia.

I trace the post–World War II traditions of thinking about German power and the clash of ideals beneath them: 'Never Again Fascism' vs 'Never Again Germany'. I outline what a strategy to deter and contain Russia looks like and explain why it requires a German nuclear deterrent.
