In this episode of Facing Coming Storms, we are talking to NATO expert Sten Rynning, Professor of War Studies at the University of Southern Denmark and Eva Sula, a former Estonian government official turned defence industry adviser also as a mentor for NATO tech innovation hub DIANA.
Following the fallout of January’s Greenland row, we are looking at the complex role of the US – now watched uneasily by many on the continent, but still at the centre of military planning. We look at institutional and geographic challenges, politics, supply chains and logistics – and what nations really need to do to keep the peace in Europe.
What We Explore
– Trump 2.0’s NATO Shock: How a second term could force Europe to step up on defence spending and capabilities and the risks if we don’t.
– Hybrid Threats Evolving: Russia’s info ops and China’s subtle influence – why the alliance needs a unified playbook to counter them.
– Deterrence Reimagined: Why NATO’s future hinges on credible threats, stronger partnerships, and learning from Ukraine’s fight.
Facing Coming Storms is brought to you by the British Army’s Centre for Historical Analysis and Conflict Research, in partnership with the Project for the Study of the 21st Century, and produced by Urban Podcasts.
