SUMMARY:Alianta Conversation: General Philip Breedlove
DESCRIPTION:Alianta is honored to host General Philip Breedlove\, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe\, for a live and timely conversation on some of the most pressing security issues of our time. \n\n\n\nWith events on the global stage shifting rapidly\, this discussion will dive deep into: \n\n\n\nThe real status of the ground war in Ukraine – What’s truly happening beyond the headlines\, and what it means for regional stability. \n\n\n\nThe upcoming summit between Presidents Trump and Putin – Key stakes for U.S.–Russia relations and the broader balance of power. \n\n\n\nThe consequences of a potential impasse between the superpower leaders and President Zelenski – Risks and opportunities for Ukraine’s future. \n\n\n\nEurope’s potential role in diplomacy and defense – Will European nations take the lead in both the negotiating room and the field? \n\n\n\nAs NATO adapts to a rapidly changing world\, few voices carry as much weight and experience as General Breedlove’s. This conversation is an opportunity for our community to hear candid\, strategic insights from a leader who has shaped transatlantic security policy at the highest levels.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Nicolae Mocanu\, Head of TVR Moldova
DESCRIPTION:We are honored to welcome Nicolae Mocanu\, President of TVR Moldova\, for an eye-opening conversation with John M. Florescu about what it means to stand on the front line of today’s disinformation war. \n\n\n\nFor Mocanu\, the fight is personal. His father was killed in the 1992 Russia-Moldova conflict. Today\, he faces a new kind of battlefield—one shaped not by soldiers\, but by signals\, screens\, and false narratives. \n\n\n\nMocanu will share his experiences confronting a tidal wave of disinformation: from Russian-backed television dramas\, music\, and satire targeting the West\, to black flag operations\, death threats\, and digital propaganda spread through Telegram\, TikTok\, and Facebook. \n\n\n\nFrom the streets of Chișinău\, to the entrenched bunkers of the Russian 14th Army\, just 42 kilometers away in Transnistria\, where Mocanu was born\, the threat is real and growing. \n\n\n\n“This noncombat war\,” he warns\, “is only getting worse.”
