    These are not words representing the positions of the EU3 or the EU Council.

    The long-standing divide between the US and Europe on Iran is summarized in this sentence from the European Union’s new foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell: “Iran wants to wipe out Israel; nothing new about that. You have to…

    La question n'est pas celle de l'image, mais celle de l'efficacité. Le métier de diplomate n'est plus ce qu'il était au XIX°.

    D’autres nomment de généreux milliardaires. Je ne trouve pas que l’image de la France y perde.

    Si vous pensez que les grands donateurs connaissent généralement les RI, je crois que vous faites erreur...

    Replying to @XavierLapdecab @ThDelamare @BrunoTertrais
    Dans le cas US, les amateurs sont des donateurs de la campagne, donc des personnes bien au fait des RI, voir des anciens diplomates. La frontière public-privé n'existe pas aux USA. En France règnent toujours les petits-marquis issus de concours.

    Oui. Mais comme vous le savez nombre de grands postes sont attribués à des personnes n’ayant nullement participé au système des revolving doors.

    Replying to @XavierLapdecab @BrunoTertrais
    Hm, cela repose aussi sur une identification de certains postes, avec une administration rôdée, et une culture du revolving doors qui "huile" les relations entre le corps "diplo-pro" et l'éventuel "ambassadeur société civile". On en est relativement loin en France. 1/2

    En termes de rayonnement du poste, c'est plus facile quand on est Washington. En termes de gestion du poste, je ne sais pas.

    Cela dit, les Américains font cela depuis très longtemps dans leurs grandes ambassades. Leur diplomatie en souffre-t-elle ?

    I can’t see the UK isolated from that. But read the paper :)

    In the backdrop of Brexit, can this imply purely French nuclear security assurance for Europe?

    Enjoyed reading on "Will Europe Get its Own Bomb?" His answer: no joint bomb but maybe a stronger Euro role for French/Brit forces. Also: Euro bomb possible if there's a shift in the Alliance affecting nuclear arrangements.

    Bien vu.

    Replying to @BrunoTertrais
    Loin du cas en question, le plus étrange est de nommer des débutants à la tête d'une ambassade : je ne me vois pas postuler pour être chef d'état-major ou président de chambre au Conseil d'État ou recteur ou... il est possible que la diplomatie ne soit pas perçue comme un métier.

    Cette curieuse tradition de vouloir nommer des écrivains ambassadeurs, dans la lignée d'un certain romantisme diplomatique.

    It is. But that should not detract anyone from enjoying the images, the sound(s), and (most of) the acting.

    Replying to @MelanieRosselet
    I loved it as well! And just had a massive argument with a French expert in nukes who (somewhat rightly) complained that the scenario is total bs :)

    Think about 1990 - we still had Pluton missiles in the Bastille Day parade.

    Yes, important question. Securing major navigation straits is key common US (Western) / CH (Asian) interest but China seems content with free-riding on Washington and allies providing a strategic common good.

    Should China help secure the Strait of Hormuz? | Some sensible thoughts about one of the fundamental Asian contradictions: some of strongest naval powers doing little to protect the maritime system that underwrite their very being.
