I am very curious about the perspectives of my co-panellists, @profsaunders.bsky.social (@columbiauniversity.bsky.social) and @guehenno.bsky.social (former UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping), and am looking forward to our discussion, moderated by Emmanuel Kattan from the #AllianceProgram!

For the 3rd time the non proliferation treaty review conference could not agree on a final document. Last time there was consensus was 2010! One of the most important pillars of international security is crumbling.

1/ the Ukraine war raises big questions for nuclear deterrence: nuclear deterrence hasn’t prevented Ukraine from striking deeper & deeper in Russian territory nor has it stopped western powers from assisting Ukraine, in particular with intelligence, for those strikes

Mitterrand once said: nationalism means war. He was right: Israeli/zionist nationalism versus Palestinian nationalism, Russian nationalism versus Ukrainian nationalism. The 19th century European invention of the nation-state has been a blessing (creating collective energy) & a curse for the world

Is there a plan behind Trump’s chaos? Maybe on the Middle East. Israel wants to kill 2 states solution, Trump doesn’t want another big war. Possible that he helps Israel kill 2-states solution with his unimplementable gambit on Gaza, while he reopens diplomatic track with Iran? Or not!

La chute de Goma, une grande tragédie pour la RDC, trahie par des dirigeants qui n’ont pas construit un État, abandonnée par une “communauté internationale” qui a d’autres soucis, pillée par un Rwanda rapace qui n’a pas renoncé à dépecer son grand voisin affaibli.

Ischinger’s is absurd: 1/Bringing China troops to Europe would be a provocation for Trump. 2/ Troops from countries not strongly committed to Ukraine would pull out if there was a risk of war. 3/ Ukraine would be as opposed to that “guarantee“ as Putin to the presence of NATO countries troops.

Al-Sharaa is right not to rush elections and constitution in Syria. But the longer the transition, the greater the need for an impartial broker to manage it & organize credible elections. Excluding the UN would be a grave mistake, that will only create very legitimate suspicions.

One can argue whether a legal process is the best avenue to stop the war in Gaza, but if one believes that international justice can help build the rule of law in international relations, making a distinction between our friends and others is an insult to the very idea of justice.
