New Atlanticism
Obama’s Syria failure is a perfect case study in how bad foreign policy is made
The lesson is that even a president who has shown extraordinary awareness that the “Washington playbook” frequently dictates unwise military interventions often feels forced to compromise his policy
Bashar al-Assad is a monster. But getting rid of him won’t fix Syria.

Black Coffee Morning “Re-Militarisierung der EU Ostgrenze?!”
Russia underwent fundamental military reforms which not only included modernization of equipment but also changes on structure and staffing. In the recent past, we have observed significantly faster mobilization of troops within few days and major threats to EU and NATO members. However, the European Union is badly prepared for the various scenarios regarding its defence strategy. For that a better coordination between EU and NATO, a willingness to react, and a re-focus on military core functions and capacities is of fundamental importance. The discussion proved to be very lively. Consensus on the strengthening of Russia's military was clearly at hand, but regarding the instruments to encounter this new military giant is still an open question for the foreseeable future.
