How does dual-use nature of innovation impact conflict and proliferation trends? What are the newest findings in how states respond to foreign interference?
🇫🇷🚀 Nejde o náhradu NATO, ale o další evropskou pojistku pro případ, že by americký jaderný deštník slábl. Proč Macron mění francouzskou doktrínu a co to znamená pro Evropu, vysvětluje náš @profonderco.bsky.social pro @dennikn.bsky.social: dennikn.sk/5183510/expe...
🔵 Je možné, že konflikt na Blízkém východě nabyde stejného rozsahu jako válka na Ukrajině. Bude záležet na tom, zda USA a Izrael režim „srazí na kolena,” říká náš výzkumník @kolacekj.bsky.social v rozhovoru pro @respektcz.bsky.social. @ims.fsv.cuni.cz www.respekt.cz/zahranici/vvv
