*The key messages the communications campaign should focus on are: what the security threat to European countries is; ways in which each government is preparing to meet the threat; how deterrence works and why it is worth making investments in defence now, with the aim of deterring adversaries from further undermining European security; the likely character of any future war; and underscoring that the required increase in spending is only 1 to 1.5 per cent of GDP.
*Governments should use unconventional approaches to deliver these messages and build consensus around defence investments. Foreign and defence ministries around Europe should host high-level public shows, panel discussions and townhall meetings to engage with publics.
*Governments should also engage with cultural institutions and provide funding for the arts to contribute to the public conversation on defence.
*Governments should also look to mobilise popular public figures, such as members of royal families, sportspeople and youth leaders.
*Special efforts should be made to reach younger audiences through social media, including using social media influencers, and through classrooms by designing curricula to teach national security courses in schools.

From cozying up to the Bush family to delivering congressional testimony — a closer look at Hungary’s new Foreign Minister’s ties to the US Government
According to a popular view, states covered by the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” was protected by U.S. nuclear weapons, but against whom was the U.S. to launch these weapons? The U.S. could not launch them against the Soviet Union and later Russia without risking a Russian nuclear counterattack on the United States. During the Cold War, the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” presupposed the existence of the Warsaw Pact states that could be targeted by U.S. nuclear weapons.
An important point [was] that the target selection during WINTEX – for the use of nuclear weapons in the East – was always done [by the Americans]. That was an American prerogative. So, the target selection never touched Russian territory. Never. Why? Implicitly, it is very clear because the Americans knew that from the moment, they hit Russian territory, it is going to come back against American territory, in the United States.
Today, there is no Warsaw Pact. We have an extended Western Europe, and the U.S. tactical nuclear weapons would, if used, be used in Europe, not against Russia, because a U.S. nuclear strike against Russia would immediately be followed by a Russian nuclear strike on the United States.
...There does not seem to be any credible option for Western powers to use nuclear weapons in a war with Russia.
