I was told at #globsec2025 to watch out for my passport. I am guessing I could fall foul of #1 here since I keep telling people it makes sense for the EU to regulate the digital ecosystem of its citizens.

At #globsec2025 in a closed room I heard Ukraine has learnt that the only way you have a territory is if your boots are there. I guess that’s one of those things for some reason every generation has to work through.

The next logical steps for the Iranian regime are to frantically rebuild their air defenses, rethink how they handle opsec, and frantically work towards a nuclear weapon. Because unless the Israeli and US states are willing to militarily occupy Iran—they can’t and they’re not—then air power alone can’t prevent Iran from doing these things. You would think that, like, every war ever since the invention of the plane would have convinced the US and Israel of this, but for some reason people really love the idea of quick, easy, and risk-free military victories through bombing.

Ha ha yes this is what it all felt like. TIL half the pictures took of me at #globsec2025 someone was looking at what I was writing whether in notebooks or on my computer (I was taking notes and/or tooting pretty much the whole time... notebooks when I was on panels so co-panellists looking over my shoulder!
Oh wow, @hertieschool.bsky.social Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner (Executive Director, Aspen Institute Germany) is giving the keynote! Interestingly, far more people are optimistic about cybersecurity (a minority anyway) than about G7 cooperation on the topic. #globsec2025 made me more optimistic, oddly.

One thing that came up at #globsec2025 – contra Vance, the EU's #DSA apparently has NOTHING about limiting content in it. It's about targeted advertising, profiling, and recommenders. In other words, #privacy. But here's a US ally if you're looking for one that actually suppresses free speech.

I’d planned to do this before I got invited to #globsec2025. Where I critiqued US events enough a retired US general warned me semi-publicly to watch out for my US passport. Whatever happens with that passport, I’ll always be American. I sincerely believe defending EU democracy defends the US too.

Ohromná čest vystoupit dnes na #GLOBSEC2025. Technologické zbrojení, AI, čipy, kvantum. Jakou pozici jsem hájila? Evropa musí přestat tříštit síly. Potřebujeme jednotný kapitálový trh a jednu strategii. Jinak zůstaneme trhem, a nikdy se nestaneme hráčem.
