Ukraine and the Shadow of Spain: How Do We Stop a Wider War?
The Spanish Civil War offers warnings, not a fixed blueprint, for understanding Ukraine’s war. While foreign involvement, military experimentation and failed neutrality create troubling parallels, today’s circumstances differ significantly.

Britain Never Fought Alone: Commonwealth Service in Two World Wars—and Its Importance for the Future
Britain’s survival in both world wars depended substantially on troops, aircrew, sailors, labourers and medical personnel from across the Empire and Commonwealth.

Ukraine Needs a Route to Peace Beyond Zelenskyy
Replacing Ukraine’s wartime president would not guarantee peace, but a lawful leadership transition might create political space for negotiations.

Kaliningrad: Could NATO Strike First—and What Would Follow?
Russia’s Baltic exclave presents NATO with a difficult military problem. A pre-emptive attack would present Europe with a much larger one.

Fairford Changes the Argument: The Case for British Military Action Against Iran
Britain’s first duty is to protect its people and its territory. When a foreign state is assessed to have directed hostile activity near a military base in England, the government must consider whether its existing response is strong enough.

NATO’s Bombing of Serbia Was a Failure of European Fraternity
Europe’s promise must be that its peoples can live together without fear of persecution, expulsion or bombardment. That promise applies equally to a family in Belgrade and a family in Pristina.
