Europe’s soft-power problem
- Mark Leonard
- Commentary

Although Europe has begun to make up for years of neglect in terms of defence spending, it remains woefully ill-equipped to win over other countries through the power of attraction and persuasion. Each side in the European culture war is uniquely unappealing to billions of people around the world.

Draghi’s words to Biden on Libya sound like a pre-emptive call for more political support for Italy in Mediterranean and energy issues
Arturo Varvelli comments on Mario Draghi’s words on Libya emerged during his meeting with US President Joe Biden in Washington DC
I have strong doubts about airworthy equipment, which only makes sense on site in Ukraine. Transit to Bulgaria and repatriation to Ukraine involve more effort than benefit.
Gustav Gressel comments on Bulgaria’s proposal not to supply weapons, but instead to provide “military technical assistance”, i.e. repair damaged weapons and maintain military equipment.
All of a sudden, even small units have their own aerial reconnaissance – that was not the case ten years ago. And there were certainly tactical advantages and victories as a result.
Unlike military reconnaissance via satellites or aircraft, the troops can get the information themselves with small drones, explains Ulrike Franke
