@atabatabai.bsky.social and I examine how Ukraine-Gulf counter-drone cooperation may be the first visible node in a new network emerging among U.S. partners-one Washington didn't design and doesn't yet know how to engage. The U.S. should figure out how to be a proactive participant in that network.
A pattern of U.S. policy swings across administrations in recent decades have altered how allies view U.S. credibility and engagement with NATO. @j-dren.bsky.social and @atabatabai.bsky.social explore how the alliance can function under persistent uncertainty.

For this second installment in our @lawfaremedia.org series on Trump's coercive approach to NATO, @j-dren.bsky.social & I look at how Russia views the tensions within the alliance.
The acute phase of the Greenland crisis may be over (for now), but Russia will keep benefiting from it.
This is the first in a series of @lawfaremedia.org articles @j-dren.bsky.social and I have coming out that look at the implications of the administration's coercive approach to alliances in general and NATO in particular.
Stay tuned:
The Trump administration's continued attacks on NATO may cause long term damage to U.S. security if allies downgrade their cooperation with the U.S. @j-dren.bsky.social and @atabatabai.bsky.social explain the benefits that NATO allies provide that would significantly harm U.S. security if lost.
While the internal crisis within NATO over Greenland appears to have passed, the damage to the alliance's cohesion may have lasting impact—and directly benefit Russia.
@j-dren.bsky.social and @atabatabai.bsky.social explore the resulting short- and long-term effects of the crisis.
On March 2, French President Emmanuel Macron laid out his vision for the future of nuclear deterrence in Europe. @atabatabai.bsky.social and @j-dren.bsky.social explore what this plan to decrease Europe's reliance on U.S. extended deterrence means for the transatlantic relationship.
Allies are finding faster, more relevant ways to collaborate without waiting for Washington.
On Rational Security, @sranderson.bsky.social sat down with @nkorpett.bsky.social, @atabatabai.bsky.social and Joel Braunold to talk through the week’s big national security news stories, including the war with Iran, the U.S.-European transatlantic relationship, and more. youtu.be/XOS-Kxz0K-Y

Russia is reaping the benefits while the United States undermines NATO from within.
