New Publications Here and There A quick overview of what I've done and written recently, and what is coming up on the blog.

This sounds like one of those to file under 'We know what to do, but not how to do it and be reelected' ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

The former boss of Germany's most important intelligence agency, the BND, has been arrested on suspicion of treason.

Efterlysning bland alla snälla nördar: är du eller känner du någon som kan textil- eller industri-historia och skulle kunna faktakolla en text om tygfabrik på tidigt 1900-tal? Sprid så blir jag glad! ❤️

Okay, I need some help from the nerds. My mom's father, my Poppy, was a pilot who flew P-47s in the Italian Campaign during WWII. I don't want to post on Reddit but *can you recommend a book* that takes a deep dive into P-47s in the Italian Campaign; squadrons, engagements, combat & Corsica?

Yeah, there were quite a few who lost their lives in the first half of the Cold War, though I do believe this programme actually didn’t see any lethal crashes (strangely enough).

"Flying wings are boring, let's do flying bodies instead" - some engineer somewhere who had some kind of a quarrel with Northrop, probably 😜

I argue that we do have options for how to meet Russian aggressive attacks, and until we actually do something, regardless of any political statements about attacks being "unacceptable", we are in fact accepting them. By the way, here's a picture of Reagan being briefed by on El Dorado Canyon.

Isn't the elk the wapiti deer? 🤔

I'll just leave this here.

As a casual fan on the other side of the Atlantic, this sucks to listen to. And, yes, the timing really stinks. Can't imagine how it is for women directly involved in the sport.

If you are at all interested in military mobility, security of supply, transport infrastructure in war, naval convoys in the Baltic Sea or perhaps just want a rough estimate of what kinds of units NATO could send, download a copy a flip to the relevant chapter!

What does it mean when we say NATO would reinforce the Nordics in case of war? How many, how would they come, and crucially, do we have the transport infrastructure? I've had the opportunity to together with our team talk to a lot of knowledgeable people to find the answer.

Far be it from me to say that not cooperating with authorities always means you did the crime, but one could imagine the time to present the "comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence" was during the investigation they instead made "concentrated efforts to stop and frustrate" ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Båda partierna har främlingsfientliga element, men i en europeisk kontext är de rätt tama. Istället spenderar man mycket tid på mer populistiska frågor som billigare bensin.
