Kui Taiwani rahvas kaotab usalduse USA või teiste neid toetavate lääneriikide suhtes, liigub Taiwan tõenäoliselt teist teed – tõenäoliselt Hiina suunas.

See oleks katastroofiline ka Jaapani julgeolekule, leiab professor Masafumi Iida.

#ABCDTallinn

Today's war demands the ability to constantly adapt new situations, the will of society to defend its country and a continuously high defence budget.

This requires the commitment of all citizens, e.g. in the reserve.

— Patrick Sensburg | #ABCDTallinn key message

Allies need to make sure that the burden-shifting process within NATO does not at any point of time undermine credible deterrence and military readiness. We need to develop an Alliance that is both more European and stronger.

— @kristiraik.bsky.social, Director of the ICDS

#ABCDTallinn key message

Understanding the adversary’s escalation threshold is key to effective escalation management. Equally important, escalation management is closely tied to our war objectives.

— Jungsup Kim, President of the Sejong Institute | #ABCDTallinn key message

From summit decisions to operational realities, NATO is turning strategy into deterrence. The challenge now is ensuring plans, forces and authorities remain credible.

— Mark Pullan, CBE, Director Operations and Planning – IMS | #ABCDTallinn key message

As the Russian threat grows stronger and the US extended deterrence weaker, French forward deterrence can provide a credible framework for discussions on nuclear options for Europe.

Making sure Russia does not get to decide Ukraine’s future or Europe’s security order requires will and resources. If we want to win, we need to build defence capabilities and alliances that are ready to win.
