New article I wrote with @HarknessKristen about our experience teaching civil-military relations using a simulation of a dictator's "end game" scenario! Will the military repress or defect? Do pro-democratic or theocratic opposition movements maneuver their way to power?

New teaching article out on simulating civil-military relations during mass uprisings and dictator end game scenarios! Can be used generically or adapted to specific historical and contemporary contexts.

📝 ‘No modern 🇬🇧 strategy document was as well thought-out as the Integrated Review. Equally, no modern 🇬🇧 strategy document has become so rapidly obsolete,’ writes @DevoreMarc, our Adjunct Fellow

The carrier is earmarked for a NATO operation to challenge Russian militarisation in the High North. Switching it to the Eastern Mediterranean when we already have an unsinkable aircraft carrier there would have created a pattern of response that Putin could play on. Makes sense and not controversial.
Breaking:
Despite briefings over the course of the weekend - and the assumption of Donald Trump - it sounds like the HMS Prince of Wales **will not** be deployed to the Middle East
Over the weekend the government placed the carrier on advanced readiness, telling crew that they must be ready to leave in five days
It led to speculation that the carrier could be deployed to the Middle East to help defend British interests
In a post on Truth Social Donald Trump said: 'The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East'
However it is now understood that the ship will not travel to bolster Britain's military presence in the region. It's instead mobilising as part of nato commitments, which may involve a trip to the High North

Top headline on BBC is that PM is speaking on @BBCr4today about defence review. But more time in the interview spent questioning winter fuel payments. No wonder the great British public don't understand much about defence and security.

Last year Merz called on Scholz to #FreeTaurus & proposed an ultimatum: if Russia didn’t halt attacks on Ukraine within 24hrs, 🇩🇪 should give 🇺🇦 Taurus.
Herr Merz is @bundeskanzler now. Russia just launched the biggest air raid of the war. This is long overdue. Send Taurus now.
