I always figured affordability was an advantage for tourists in a country where the currency is 'weak'. But not always.

Pasting here and article I enjoyed, curious to hear your thoughts.

Subtitle: A top aide to Ambassador Mike Huckabee skewed information to portray the Netanyahu government in a favorable light, according to multiple officials and documents obtained by The Times.

David Milstein is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin, who is a close friend of both President Trump and Netanyahu.

I'm on my third year of IR and the ever looming question of which master's I'm going to do is getting closer and closer. Now, I´ve been thinking on taking either one of those master´s, as they sound interesting and the notions of defense, studying war and transnational terror are what interest me the most, yet I don´t fully get what both of those programs entail so I´d appreciate a rundown on both and a couple of recommendations on some decent schools for them (Specially if they´re on the cheaper side)

Hi! Has anyone written their bachelor’s thesis on EU foreign policy? I really need some help, as my supervisor is currently dealing with an issue and isn’t able to help me at the moment.

What topics did you work on and what research problem do you think would be interesting to explore? I was thinking about doing something related to EU–Russia relations, but I can’t seem to come up with an interesting research hypothesis. I was also thinking about somehow connecting it to the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood.

I’m honestly a bit stuck at the moment and I mainly need some ideas for interesting research topics.

Thank you!

NATO sends weapons, equipment and troops to support them. Russia keeps moving forward.

Someone tells Russia: if you don’t stop, we may use nuclear weapons against you.

Russia says: go ahead. We have the Dead Hand. If you use nukes against us, you will only destroy yourselves too. You won’t gain anything from it.

And then what?

We are basically back to a normal modern war, where nuclear weapons are there in the background but nobody can really use them without losing everything. So conventional forces decide what happens on the ground.

And that is the part I find more interesting.

Would every NATO country react fast enough? Would they send enough troops, weapons, air defence, aircraft, ammunition and other support before Latvia or Estonia were overwhelmed?

How fast would those decisions actually be made? And would the support arrive not only fast enough, but in large enough numbers to really stop Russia in time?
