Benjamin Tallis @bctallis.bsky.social · 07/01/2026🇱🇹 Track two: distributed national deterrence European states (especially on the flank) need quickly usable, national-level strike capabilities that don’t depend on lengthy NATO deliberation, which can buy time & allow allies to join the fight. 🧵 1163
Benjamin Tallis @bctallis.bsky.social · 07/01/2026🇺🇦 Ukraine shows what’s possible Ukraine has used precision strikes to disrupt Russian forces deep behind the front & hit critical Russian assets. At greater scale, and strategically conducted, such capabilities would be a powerful deterrent. 🧵 1141
Benjamin Tallis @bctallis.bsky.social · 07/01/2026🛡 Speed matters on the Eastern Flank Lithuania can’t wait years for heavy platforms. Rapidly fielded mass strike drones & 'deep & cheap' precision weapons would immediately complicate RU planning [if integrated into operational concept & with political will to use them!] 🧵 1262
