🚀 New Mildly Alarmed episode out. @alanderminna.bsky.social and I discuss one of the key topics of my recently defended PhD: How does the proliferation of long-range strike weapons to small and medium-sized states affect strategic stability? 1/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRLD...

We also discuss why Europe has many national arsenals but no shared deep-strike doctrine, how low-cost cruise missiles and long-range drones are lowering barriers to entry for states like the Baltics, what this means for arms control... 2/3

... and why Russia, which before 2022 faced a Europe with empty arsenals and a moribund missile industry, has brought about precisely the threat environment it arguably sought to avoid. 3/3
