We are really worried about our partner, Nina Paterska who is on one of the boats. We had contact at 11.47 pm UK last night when she said the drones were overhead- but nothing since.

It's been a while since I had the bandwidth to write anything, given the war on #Iran. Now as ceasefire holds & pundits insist on the 'who's winning?' frame -like halftime of a football match,I wrote this piece below. Welcome all thoughts & shares with those who care🙏 Thx @cipolicy.bsky.social

In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA for $25M, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. The USA was worried Germany could take control of the islands, though they had no plans to do so. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over #Greenland

This 👇, btw, is an important point. The US Africa command in Stuttgart, to take one example, isn’t there to protect Germany. But both can of course be true: Europe has been free-riding AND the US has a self-interest in being in Europe.

Screenshot: As I write my last foreign affairs commentary for the Observer, I look back over nearly 50 years and wonder, firstly, at the false narrative, not confined to Donald Trump, that American altruism is exploited by
"freeloading" European Nato allies. What tosh! US troops and missiles are based here primarily to defend the US. Since 1945, Washington has viewed Europe as its first line of defence against Russia. Germany was the US's preferred cold war battlefield, Britain its airfield.

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported. It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.
