🇺🇸🇨🇳🇪🇺 As US-China rivalry deepens, Washington is rethinking European unity - not just, as this new article by Linde Desmaele argues, as a NATO asset, but through the lens of cost tolerance and alignment on China.

💭 Cold War-era nuclear thinking can help explain how today’s challenges emerged.

Bedankt voor dit draadje! :)
Last month, I wrote a short piece on what Trump 2.0 means for NATO and Europe. Bottom line: The key question is not so much whether Donald Trump stays in NATO or reaffirms the U.S. commitment to Europe, but under what terms and with what expectations.

A huge thank you to the editorial team at NPR for their invaluable support in bringing this piece to fruition! (8/8)
By focusing on these functions, I draw attention to the main barriers that produce continuity and complicate changes in NATO’s nuclear posture - either to upgrade or downgrade the TNW mission. (7/8)
3. Nuclear consultation: the practice of ensuring ongoing transatlantic political linkage due to the continued US presence in Europe. (6/8)
2. Nuclear legitimation: the practice of reinforcing the alliance’s commitment to nuclear deterrence as the basis for NATO’s overall defense strategy. (5/8)
1. Nuclear deflection: the practice of shifting the focus away from questions relating to the responsibilities, costs, and obligations of the conventional-weapons aspect of collective defense. (4/8)
In this piece, I suggest that the importance of such functions seems to have overstated. I take a different perspective and argue that US TNW in Europe are primarily tools of alliance management. I examine three key mechanisms through which they fulfill this role. (3/8)
Advocates and opponents of NATO’s TNW mission often focus primarily on the value of these weapons in terms of deterrence or reassurance (arguments that primarily adhere to a military logic). (2/8)
🚨 New Publication Alert 🚨
I am very happy to share my newly published article in the Nonproliferation Review (open access!) on the role of US theater nuclear weapons (TNW) currently stationed in Europe.
