PREVIEW — General Blaine Holt (USAF, Retired) — Russian Tactical Nuclear Weapons Deployment in Belarus. General Holt confirms credible intelligence reports documenting Russian Federation deployment of tactical nuclear weapons throughout Belarusian territory as part of a calculated strategic deterrence framework. Holt characterizes this nuclear positioning as a deliberate Russian strategic communication, intentionally ensuring that American intelligence collection systems detect these weapons systems to credibly demonstrate Moscow's resolve and existential commitment to military confrontation, thereby distinguishing this deployment from hollow threats or bluffing tactics. Holt emphasizes that this nuclear weaponization of Belarus represents a fundamental escalation in regional threat posture and North Atlantic Treaty Organization security concerns. 1910 VILNIUS, LITHUANIA

AI Assisted Coding: Treating AI Like a Junior Engineer - Onboarding Practices for AI Collaboration In this special episode, Sergey Sergyenko, CEO of Cybergizer, shares his practical framework for AI-assisted development built on transactional models, Git workflows, and architectural conventions. He explains why treating AI like a junior engineer, keeping commits atomic, and maintaining rollback strategies creates production-ready code rather than just prototypes. Vibecoding: An Automation Design Instrument "I would define Vibecoding as an automation design instrument. It's not a tool that can deliver end-to-end solution, but it's like a perfect set of helping hands for a person who knows what they need to do."   Sergey positions vibecoding clearly: it's not magic, it's an automation design tool. The person using it must know what they need to accomplish—AI provides the helping hands to execute that vision faster. This framing sets expectations appropriately: AI speeds up development significantly, but it's not a silver bullet that works without guidance. The more you practice vibecoding, the better you understand its boundaries. Sergey's definition places vibecoding in the evolution of development tools: from scaffolding to co-pilots to agentic coding to vibecoding. Each step increases automation, but the human architect remains essential for providing direction, context, and validation. Pair Programming with the Machine "If you treat AI as a junior engineer, it's very easy to adopt it. Ah, okay, maybe we just use the old traditions, how we onboard juniors to the team, and let AI follow this step."   One of Sergey's most practical insights is treating AI like a junior engineer joining your team. This mental model immediately clarifies roles and expectations. You wouldn't let a junior architect your system or write all your tests—so why let AI? Instead, apply existing onboarding practices: pair programming, code reviews, test-driven development, architectural guidance. This approach leverages Extreme Programming practices that have worked for decades. The junior engineer analogy helps teams understand that AI needs mentorship, clear requirements, and frequent validation. Just as you'd provide a junior with frameworks and conventions to follow, you constrain AI with established architectural patterns and framework conventions like Ruby on Rails. The Transactional Model: Atomic Commits and Rollback "When you're working with AI, the more atomic commits it delivers, more easy for you to kind of guide and navigate it through the process of development."   Sergey's transactional approach transforms how developers work with AI. Instead of iterating endlessly when something goes wrong, commit frequently with atomic changes, then rollback and restart if validation fails. Each commit should be small, independent, and complete—like a feature flag you can toggle. The commit message includes the prompt sequence used to generate the code and rollback instructions.  This approach makes the Git repository the context manager, not just the AI's memory. When you need to guide AI, you can reference specific commits and their context. This mirrors trunk-based development practices where teams commit directly to master with small, verified changes. The cost of rollback stays minimal because changes are atomic, making this strategy far more efficient than trying to fix broken implementations through iteration. Context Management: The Weak Point and the Solution "Managing context and keeping context is one of the weak points of today's coding agents, therefore we need to be very mindful in how we manage that context for the agent."   Context management challenges current AI coding tools—they forget, lose thread, or misinterpret requirements over long sessions. Sergey's solution is embedding context within the commit history itself. Each commit links back to the specific reasoning behind that code: why it was accepted, what iterations it took, and how to undo it if needed. This creates a persistent context trail that survives beyond individual AI sessions. When starting new features, developers can reference previous commits and their context to guide the AI. The transactional model doesn't just provide rollback capability—it creates institutional memory that makes AI progressively more effective as the codebase grows. TDD 2.0: Humans Write Tests, AI Writes Code "I would never allow AI to write the test. I would do it by myself. Still, it can write the code."   Sergey is adamant about roles: humans write tests, AI writes implementation code. This inverts traditional TDD slightly—instead of developers writing tests then code, they write tests and AI writes the code to pass them. Tests become executable requirements and prompts. This provides essential guardrails: AI can iterate on implementation until tests pass, but it can't redefine what "passing" means. The tests represent domain knowledge, business requirements, and validation criteria that only humans should control. Sergey envisions multi-agent systems where one agent writes code while another validates with tests, but critically, humans author the original test suite. This TDD 2.0 framework (a talk Sergey gave at the Global Agile Summit) creates a verification mechanism that prevents the biggest anti-pattern: coding without proper validation. The Two Cardinal Rules: Architecture and Verification "I would never allow AI to invent architecture. Writing AI agentic coding, Vibecoding, whatever coding—without proper verification and properly setting expectations of what you want to get as a result—that's the main mistake."   Sergey identifies two non-negotiables. First, never let AI invent architecture. Use framework conventions (Rails, etc.) to constrain AI's choices. Leverage existing code generators and scaffolding. Provide explicit architectural guidelines in planning steps. Store iteration-specific instructions where AI can reference them. The framework becomes the guardrails that prevent AI from making structural decisions it's not equipped to make. Second, always verify AI output. Even if you don't want to look at code, you must validate that it meets requirements. This might be through tests, manual review, or automated checks—but skipping verification is the fundamental mistake. These two rules—human-defined architecture and mandatory verification—separate successful AI-assisted development from technical debt generation. Prototype vs. Production: Two Different Workflows "When you pair as an architect or a really senior engineer who can implement it by himself, but just wants to save time, you do the pair programming with AI, and the AI kind of ships a draft, and rapid prototype."   Sergey distinguishes clearly between prototype and production development. For MVPs and rapid prototypes, a senior architect pairs with AI to create drafts quickly—this is where speed matters most. For production code, teams add more iterative testing and polishing after AI generates initial implementation. The key is being explicit about which mode you're in. The biggest anti-pattern is treating prototype code as production-ready without the necessary validation and hardening steps. When building production systems, Sergey applies the full transactional model: atomic commits, comprehensive tests, architectural constraints, and rollback strategies. For prototypes, speed takes priority, but the architectural knowledge still comes from humans, not AI. The Future: AI Literacy as Mandatory "Being a software engineer and trying to get a new job, it's gonna be a mandatory requirement for you to understand how to use AI for coding. So it's not enough to just be a good engineer."   Sergey sees AI-assisted coding literacy becoming as fundamental as Git proficiency. Future engineering jobs will require demonstrating effective AI collaboration, not just traditional coding skills. We're reaching good performance levels with AI models—now the challenge is learning to use them efficiently. This means frameworks and standardized patterns for AI-assisted development will emerge and consolidate. Approaches like AAID, SpecKit, and others represent early attempts to create these patterns. Sergey expects architectural patterns for AI-assisted development to standardize, similar to how design patterns emerged in object-oriented programming. The human remains the bottleneck—for domain knowledge, business requirements, and architectural guidance—but the implementation mechanics shift heavily toward AI collaboration. Resources for Practitioners "We are reaching a good performance level of AI models, and now we need to guide it to make it impactful. It's a great tool, now we need to understand how to make it impactful."   Sergey recommends Obie Fernandez's work on "Patterns of Application Development Using AI," particularly valuable for Ruby and Rails developers but applicable broadly. He references Andrey Karpathy's original vibecoding post and emphasizes Extreme Programming practices as foundational. The tools he uses—Cursor and Claude Code—support custom planning steps and context management. But more important than tools is the mindset: we have powerful AI capabilities now, and the focus must shift to efficient usage patterns. This means experimenting with workflows, documenting what works, and sharing patterns with the community. Sergey himself shares case studies on LinkedIn and travels extensively speaking about these approaches, contributing to the collective learning happening in real-time.   About Sergey Sergyenko   Sergey is the CEO of Cybergizer, a dynamic software development agency with offices in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Historic quarters in cities and towns across the middle of Europe were devastated during the Second World War—some, like those of Warsaw and Frankfurt, had to be rebuilt almost completely. They are now centers of peace and civility that attract millions of tourists, but the stories they tell about places, peoples, and nations are selective. They are never the whole story. These old towns and their turbulent histories have been key sites in Europe's ongoing theater of politics and war. Exploring seven old towns, from Frankfurt and Prague to Vilnius in Lithuania, the acclaimed writer Marek Kohn examines how they have been used since the Second World War to conceal political tensions and reinforce certain versions of history. Uncovering hidden stories behind these old and old-seeming façades in The Stories Old Towns Tell: A Journey through Cities at the Heart of Europe (Yale University Press, 2023), Dr. Kohn offers us a new understanding of the politics of European history-making—showing how our visits to old towns could promote belonging over exclusion, and empathy over indifference. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

C dans l'air du 24 novembre 2025 - Ukraine : le plan de paix de Trump, l'inquiétude des EuropéensUne semaine décisive s'ouvre pour l'Ukraine. Donald Trump a donné à Volodymyr Zelensky jusqu'à jeudi pour se prononcer sur son plan de paix. Mais en l'état, il est jugé inacceptable par Kiev, car il reprend toutes les exigences russes — territoriales notamment —, et par les Européens, qui y voient une capitulation forcée, avec un risque pour la sécurité de l'Europe. Les négociations ont donc repris dimanche en Suisse, en présence des Américains, des Ukrainiens et des Européens. Réunis à Genève, le secrétaire d'État américain et le négociateur de Kiev, Andriï Iermak, ont salué hier en fin d'après-midi les « bons progrès » dans les pourparlers.« Je pense que nous avons probablement eu la réunion la plus productive et significative jusqu'à présent dans tout ce processus », a déclaré le chef de la diplomatie américaine, Marco Rubio, aux journalistes, sans donner plus de détails. L'un des membres de la délégation ukrainienne, Roustem Oumerov, à la tête du Conseil de sécurité ukrainien, a estimé qu'une nouvelle version du texte « reflète déjà la plupart des priorités clés » de Kiev.Tout en s'accordant avec le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer sur la nécessité de « travailler tous ensemble en ce moment critique afin d'instaurer une paix juste et durable », selon les mots de Downing Street, le président Trump maintient la pression sur Volodymyr Zelensky, à qui il a reproché un manque de « gratitude », alors que son propre camp se déchire sur le plan de paix. Certaines voix, notamment au sein des républicains, estiment qu'il aurait été soufflé aux Américains par les Russes. « Cette administration n'est pas responsable de cette publication sous sa forme actuelle », a ainsi déclaré le républicain Mike Rounds, élu du Dakota du Sud.Depuis l'Afrique du Sud, où il représente la France au G20, Emmanuel Macron est revenu samedi sur le plan de Donald Trump, estimant qu'« il ne peut pas y avoir de paix en Ukraine sans les Ukrainiens et le respect de leur souveraineté ». En marge de ce sommet, le chef de l'État a également réitéré sa confiance au général Fabien Mandon, qui avait déclaré mardi que « la France doit accepter de perdre des enfants », estimant qu'il avait tenu devant les maires un « discours beaucoup plus élaboré que la phrase qu'on en a sortie ». Il a par ailleurs confirmé son intention de rétablir un service militaire volontaire dans le pays, face à la montée des périls sur le continent.Opérations de déstabilisation massives, propagande à grande échelle, attaques et tentatives d'ingérence russes se multiplient dans l'Hexagone et dans toute l'Europe. Nos journalistes se sont rendus en Lituanie où, ce lundi, la cour de justice de Vilnius a rendu son verdict dans l'affaire de l'incendie, en 2024, d'un magasin Ikea et a condamné un adolescent ukrainien à 3 ans et 4 mois de détention. Son acte a été requalifié de terroriste par la justice lituanienne. Selon le procureur, la Russie avait « connaissance » de ses intentions et il a agi « dans l'intérêt d'un service de renseignement militaire étranger ».Nos experts :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMEROS - Ancien chef d'état-major de l'armée de l'air et ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Elise VINCENT - Journaliste chargée des questions de défense au Monde- Laure MANDEVILLE - Grand reporter au Figaro, autrice de L'Ukraine se lève chez Talland éditions - Pierre HAROCHE - maître de conférences en politique européenne et internationale à l'université Catholique de Lille, auteur de « Dans la forge du monde.

C'est ce lundi 24 novembre 2025 qu'une cour de justice de Vilnius rendra son verdict dans l'affaire de l'incendie en 2024 d'un magasin Ikea. Un incendie attribué au renseignement militaire russe. De notre correspondante à Vilnius, La dernière audience avant de mettre le jugement en délibéré a été rapide. Le jeune Ukrainien est sorti la tête baissée. Mineur au moment des faits, il a déposé un mécanisme qui a pris feu le 9 mai 2024. Il a été arrêté quelques jours plus tard dans le bus pour Riga, en Lettonie, où il devait commettre le même forfait. Pour son avocate Renata Janusyte, « il regrette d'avoir agi à la légère. Pour cela, on lui a promis une voiture et 10 000 euros, il a indiqué qui l'avait contacté pour cela et qui avait fait les transferts d'argent. » Ce procès a été une mine de renseignements pour comprendre la réalité d'un sabotage. Vilmantas Vitkauskas est à la tête du centre national de gestion des crises. Il se souvient de ce jour-là. « Nous avions été prévenus que de telles actions pouvaient avoir lieu en Lituanie. Chaque incendie, incident qui se produit n'est jamais considéré comme banal. L'incendie du magasin Ikea n'est pas le premier cas de sabotage, mais auparavant jamais un bâtiment accueillant du public et pouvant causer des victimes n'avait été visé. » Le sabotage est la nouvelle réalité. La justice lituanienne enquête sur l'autodestruction de colis partis depuis Vilnius vers un entrepôt en Allemagne, et sur la tentative d'incendie d'une société soutenant l'Ukraine. Giedrius Krupkauskas travaille pour les services de sécurité de l'État. Il a décrit les méthodes russes lors d'une conférence : « Toutes ces opérations sont commanditées par le pouvoir politique. La confrontation avec l'Ouest se déroule pour la Russie dans une sorte d'entre-deux, entre guerre et paix. Avec cet état d'esprit, les sabotages sont considérés comme légitimes. Un outil de guerre contre de sociétés européennes en paix. » Le but : faire vaciller le soutien occidental à l'Ukraine. Comment prévenir le passage à l'acte de personnes souvent recrutées via les réseaux sociaux ? Le chercheur Marek Kohv de l'ICDS, un centre de recherche sur la défense en Estonie, a quelques pistes. « Il est très important que les peines prononcées soient très claires, ça peut être dissuasif. Les gens reçoivent peu d'argent pour ces actions. S'il s'avère que pour gagner 500 ou 1000 euros, il est possible de risquer 10 ans de prison, cela va faire réfléchir. » Le verdict prononcé à l'égard du jeune homme accusé de crime en bande organisée et d'acte terroriste fera date dans l'histoire judiciaire lituanienne.

Marius Eidukonis est journaliste culturel pour la radio publique : « Depuis 2022, le danger à nos portes rend la situation plus sensible et nerveuse, et quant à tout cela s'ajoute l'apparition de formations politiques douteuses, l'inquiétude grandit, il faut se défendre contre les menaces extérieures et intérieures ».  Juta est graphiste, elle a organisé l'atelier pancartes dans un lieu culturel de Vilnius. La défense, ce n'est pas uniquement les soldats. Pour elle, la culture aussi est une arme : « Le secteur culturel est un vecteur pour discuter des sujets d'actualité et échanger des idées. En ce qui concerne l'aide à l'Ukraine, le secteur culturel a été déterminant pour être le porte-parole de ce qui se passait dans le pays ». Beaucoup craignent que la Lituanie ne prenne le virage illibéral de la Hongrie ou de la Slovaquie. Le monde de la culture a été rejoint aussi par les docteurs et les agriculteurs. Tous veulent continuer de monter la garde.

When should Ukraine commit more forces to a perhaps desperate stand to hold ground it will likely lose? And when is it the difficult but correct choice to preserve the force and pull back to the next defensive line? This is the real, agonizing strategic dilemma shaping the war, now highlighted in the fight for Pokrovsk. Distinguished strategist Lawrence Freedman joins Ryan at a cafe in Vilnius, where they were both speaking at a conference, to dissect this critical question. They also sort through how this relates to each side's theory of victory and the shifting realities of the battlefield.

Lithuania's Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys joins Cipher Brief CEO Suzanne Kelly in Washington with a blunt warning: Western military restraint is encouraging, not deterring, the Kremlin. Budrys explains why Lithuania is raising defense spending to more than 5% of GDP by 2026—the highest in the democratic world—and pushing NATO toward offensive deterrence and denial "from the very first inch." He details Belarus' role as a state-enabled criminal actor, from weaponized migration to smuggling operations using high-altitude balloons that forced Lithuania to shut down its main international airport, and why Minsk deserves tougher sanctions. Budrys also walks through recent Russian gray-zone activity in the Baltic Sea and NATO airspace, arguing that only stronger posture—not de-escalation—has stopped undersea infrastructure attacks and drone incursions. The Minister lays out what a potential Ukraine ceasefire would mean for the Baltics, why Vilnius is committing 0.25% of GDP annually to Ukraine's security for ten years, and how Russian forces redeployed from Ukraine could reshape the threat on NATO's eastern flank. He also highlights Lithuania's energy break from Moscow—now sourcing 75% of its LNG from the U.S.—and its push for tougher economic security policies toward China as it prepares to hold the EU presidency in 2027. A candid, front-line view of deterrence, gray-zone warfare, and the future of the transatlantic alliance.

Während Estland aktuell den 90. Geburtstag von Arvo Pärt feiert, der als meistgespielter Komponist der Gegenwart gilt, dürfte der Name Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis nur wenigen etwas sagen. Dabei ist er für Litauen mindestens so bedeutsam wie Pärt für die Esten. Jörn Florian Fuchs ist nach Vilnius gereist und hat sich auf die Spuren von Čiurlionis begeben. Dabei hat er sogar eine sehr besondere Uraufführung erlebt.

When an elderly man with a battered suitcase walked into the British embassy in Vilnius in 1992, few could have guessed what he was about to hand over. Gordon Corera tells the story of Vasili Mitrokhin, an under-the-radar Soviet archivist who copied thousands of classified KGB documents over 12 years. Speaking to Elinor Evans, he reveals how a project that began as a private rebellion against the agency he once served evolved into one of the greatest intelligence coups of the 20th century.

Vilnius dažnai pristatomas kaip jaunas, veržlus ir sparčiai augantis miestas – vieta, kurioje gausu galimybių, kultūros ir karjeros perspektyvų.

Anunțul Washingtonului privind o retragere parțială a militarilor staționați pe flancul estic al NATO a produs multă emoție la București. Este România mai vulnerabilă acum în fața amenințării rusești? Anunțul a fost primit cu bucurie în extrema dreaptă din România. Aceasta vede în decizia de la Washington, care afectează direct România, o pedeapsă binemeritată pentru faptul că autoritățile de la București au anulat alegerile din noiembrie-decembrie 2024. De asemenea, retragerea parțială a americanilor este pentru ei urmarea alegerii președintelui Nicușor Dan, în scrutinul din mai, al cărui rezultat, extrema dreaptă nu-l recunoaște nici acum. Întocmai ca și propaganda Kremlinului. În cealaltă parte a societății, retragerea este privită cu îngrijorare. Este un semn al reducerii angajamentului american pentru Europa, într-un moment al creșterii intensității războiului hibrid al Rusiei. Polonia și România au fost recent survolate de drone rusești. Avioane ale Rusiei au încălcat spațiul aerian al Estoniei. Activitatea de pe aeroporturi din Germania și Danemarca a fost perturbată de drone bănuite a fi fost manevrate de Rusia. România a dejucat un act de sabotaj rusesc asupra unei firme ucrainene de distribuție de colete. Lituania a închis granița cu Belarus după ce sute de baloane cu heliu au afectat zborurile pe aeroportul din Vilnius. Iar miercuri, Polonia a interceptat un avion de recunoaștere rusesc deasupra spațiului său aerian. Cum să privim, așadar, decizia americană? Din punct de vedere tactic, decizia nu schimbă situația de pe teren. După cum a comunicat și Departamentul de Război de la Washington, ”aceasta nu reprezintă o retragere a Statelor Unite din Europa şi nici un semnal al unei diminuări a angajamentului faţă de NATO şi faţă de Articolul 5”. Dimpotrivă, este un semnal pozitiv al creşterii capacităţii şi responsabilităţii europene. Cu alte cuvinte, europenii pot acum să compenseze ajustarea posturii militare a Statelor Unite. Și să nu ne imaginăm că militarii staționați acum pe flancul estic ar fi singurii chemați să intervină în cazul unei crize adevărate generate de Rusia. În această situație, de nedorit și încă puțin probabilă, ar fi vorba despre un număr cu mult mai mare de militari și de cu totul alte cantități de echipamente militare. Totuși, așa cum a atras atenția și expertul în securitate George Scutaru, într-un interviu pentru AFP, semnalul politic ar putea fi unul prost pentru Rusia, care ar putea înțelege că acum, Marea Neagră este mai puțin importantă pentru America. Ne-am putea aștepta, așadar, la creșterea provocărilor, după dronele care au traversat spațiul aerian al României, în septembrie? Posibil. Dar, în acest stadiu al războiului hibrid, nu plecarea a 800 de militari americani vulnerabilizează România. România este vulnerabilă în interiorul ei, prin gradul înalt de penetrare a propagandei ruse. Prin lipsa de coeziune și prin contestarea tot mai fățișă a apartenenței la Occident. De asemenea, România este vulnerabilă din cauza unei coaliții de guvernare care trosnește din toate încheieturile.   Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

In Part 1, Lee and Paul reflect on ultimate underdogs Mjällby becoming Swedish champions and the key figures behind their unlikely Allsvenskan triumph. How have sporting director Hasse Larsson and coach Anders Torstensson shown courage in the face of adversity? Why are Mjällby the best-ever team in Swedish history? And why is the village of Hällevik looking for a new postman? And from one first-time champion to another, Titas Teiten of Baltic Football News has the lowdown on new Lithuanian title-winners Kauno Žalgiris. Part 2 continues in Lithuania, where Lee has paid a visit to second-tier champions TransINVEST and their stunning newstadium to ask some key questions. How does a new club based in a village outside Vilnius and owned by a logistics company build a fanbase from scratch? What has the reaction been in the rest of Lithuania? And why is football firmlyin the shadow of basketball in this beautiful Baltic country?

L'émission 28 minutes du 23/10/2025 Cartographier le monde, un enjeu de pouvoir En octobre 1884, le méridien de Greenwich est adopté comme standard international et reste jusqu'à aujourd'hui le méridien de référence pour les Européens. Il est essentiel pour la cartographie numérique, qui nous guide, et est à l'origine de notre organisation du temps. Ces “cercles imaginaires” disent beaucoup de notre représentation du monde pour Fabrice Argounès, auteur du livre  “Méridiens. Mesurer, partager, dominer le monde” (CNRS éditions). Il explique qu'il existait d'autres méridiens avant celui de Greenwich : celui de Bagdad, Pékin ou de Madras avec l'idée pour chaque société de se placer au centre du monde. Le géographe et géohistorien nous explique comment la cartographie a toujours été un instrument politique. Record du CAC 40 : la Bourse de Paris au plus haut malgré la crise politique et la dette ?La Bourse de Paris a atteint un nouveau sommet historique le 21 octobre. Ce record a de quoi étonner alors que la France fait face à une dette abyssale, que l'instabilité politique est forte  et que les agences de notation dégradent la note de la France. Après Fitch, il y a un mois, l'agence S&P a dégradé la note de la dette souveraine du pays vendredi en invoquant une incertitude “élevée” sur les finances publiques, baissant d'un cran la note de la France de AA- à A+. Dans le même temps, le budget est examiné à l'Assemblée nationale. Les discussions s'annoncent rudes avec le rejet en commission des finances du volet “recettes” du budget 2026, mercredi 22 octobre. Enfin, Victor Dekyvère revient sur 70 ans d'évolution du corps masculin.

Europe has just gained its first unapologetically defense-first venture fund. Archangel Ventures, led by Nicholas Nelson and Daniel Carew, is not here to hedge, not here to play dual-use semantics, but to put defense front and center.Nic brings the lived experience of government, strategy, and deployments, with the policy networks to match. Daniel comes from a deep tech/DARPA-inspired investing background, obsessed with the frontier of what technology can achieve. Together, they're building a fund that rejects the hype cycle and instead anchors itself in Europe's sovereignty, resilience, and the urgent reality of our geopolitical moment.Why Estonia? Why now? Because the frontier matters. From Tallinn to Vilnius to Warsaw, the tyranny of geography makes defense personal. Partnering with Superangel, Archangel is embedding itself in the heart of the Baltics—a region that already knows what it means to digitize, mobilize, and defend.Archangel Ventures is a platform, a coalition of the willing, a bet that Europe can and must build its own defense ecosystem. As they put it, defense is not a bubble, not a passing Ukraine-driven hype cycle. It's the crucible where the next generation of European technology—and deterrence—will be forged.We're proud to have launched this journey with them on the pod. Tune in: 01:00 Origins of Archangel — Nic on why he wouldn't start with just any partner.04:00 Why they teamed up — Daniel recalls NATO roots and complementary skillsets.08:30 Why defense-first matters — Nic explains why dual-use doesn't work at seed.11:00 The timing challenge — Daniel on NATO's long horizon investing.14:00 Portfolio construction — Nic's three buckets: unmet needs, future needs, unknown unknowns.20:00 Filling the ecosystem gap — Daniel on bridging startups and primes in Europe.27:00 Why Estonia — Nic on geography and teaming with Superangel.33:00 Personal ties — Daniel on his Estonian family and NATO links.41:00 On working with primes — Nic pushes back on the “dinosaurs” narrative.53:00 Risks ahead — Nic on what happens if the war in Ukraine ends tomorrow.

Napoleon never intended to invade as far as Moscow.  It was just supposed to be the 2nd Polish campaign.  But Napoleon's hammer blows kept missing.Napoleon's blend of insightful planning and terrible planning for the invasion led to the temptation to do what the Empereur knew was wrong.  Just go a little deeper.There were at least 3 inflection points that historians point to that could have led to more success and a very different world for us.  These include the movement east from Smolensk, the long stay in Moscow, and finally the December 5 decision to leave Murat in command of the French army at Vilnius.And from the view of Russian decision making we have the quite severe limits on Alexander's freedom to make the kind of decisions Napoleon needed him to make.  And also there were the arguments made by Kutuzov, among others that Russia should not push into Germany.There will be another episode on the topic the following week.

Daniele started his career as a journalist and worked his way up to become widely known as the best expert in his field as the sports director in Eurolegue clubs. After working for Brose Bamberg & FC Bayern Munich, he currently started his new venture with Olimpia Milano. Prior to becoming a sports director in Bamberg he was working as international scout for the Detroit Pistons.

From July 14, 2023: The NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, just wrapped up, and the big news is that Sweden is in, and Ukraine is not. Eric Adamson of the Atlantic Council and the Swedish Defense Association is a Swedish defense policy analyst who observed the NATO summit.He joined Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes to discuss the two big things that happened: the Swedish resolution of the dispute with Turkey that impeded Swedish NATO accession until now, and the frustrating failure of NATO to set a path for Ukrainian NATO membership. They talked about the dispute between Sweden and Turkey and the nuanced manner in which it was resolved, about whether the Ukrainians are being too demanding and should be more grateful for Western support, and the specific areas in which Sweden will contribute to NATO's capabilities.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
