🔚 It's a wrap for the @PISM_Poland @Strategic_Ark 2026 conference! Thank you to all our speakers, participants, and partners for two days of insightful exchanges and new ideas. Your engagement and expertise made this event truly memorable. Stay tuned for more highlights!

'Americas first' as a side opportunity? @BartekZnojek at @Strategic_Ark: the signing of the Mercosur agreement and the modernization of the EU's trade deal with Mexico were part of the EU's preparation for Donald Trump's return to the White House

From @olindasalguero at @Strategic_Ark: regional cooperation, integration, and connectivity are crucial for security in Central America. But a security-oriented approach by Trump is not enough. The US has to invest more in the development of the region

The triple logic shaping Donald Trump's approach to the Western Hemisphere, according to @vmmijares: resource control, transnational threats, access denial

@melissafordm tells @Strategic_Ark: Trump's policy is based on the principle that stability in the Western Hemisphere is the US first line of defence. The US left a vacuum in Latin America that allowed malign actors to enter the region. Trump is now correcting that mistake

📣 And now it's time for dessert! We are kicking off our final session on Donald Trump's plan for the Western Hemisphere Featuring: @melissafordm / @olindasalguero / @BartekZnojek / @vmmijares Moderated by @DrPMarkiewicz Live on YouTube: 🔗 youtube.com/@PolandPISM

📢 Unconventional response to Russian hybrid activities in the Baltic, @Strategic_Ark What do we do? ▪️Build new defence capabilities ▪️Wargame our readiness ▪️Act collectively ▪️Increase the cost for Russia @georgewbarros / @Piotr_Niec_ / @koziol_sasza / Maria Martisiute

.@Piotr_Niec_ at @Strategic_Ark: NATO is a political alliance. The military carries out political decisions on whether to escalate or not. It is not up to admirals to make those decisions

.@georgewbarros at @Strategic_Ark: Russia is learning from what it has accomplished in Ukraine, improving its operational concepts, adjusting to what has not worked there. It is developing its forces in the West. All of this raises concerns about the security of the Baltic states

.@koziol_sasza at @Strategic_Ark: Russia followed a clear logic of escalation in Ukraine. First come disinformation and cyberattacks, then a limited operation, and eventually a full-scale invasion. The trajectory is clear, we need to start countering it

Maria Martisiute (@epc_eu) at @Strategic_Ark: Poland and the Baltic states are the leading NATO allies in terms of defense spending. Yet, their level of preparedness still does not match the level of threat

🆙And we are back! Grey zone warfare in the Baltic Sea and how we counter the Russian hybrid activities there Featuring: @Piotr_Niec_ / @georgewbarros / @koziol_sasza / Maria Martisiute Moderation: @ponczuszka 🔗 youtube.com/@PolandPISM
