Dear CSC Community,
This year marks three years of the Center for Security Consulting on the market — three years of growth, collaboration, and meaningful impact in the field of security.
We’ve reached important milestones along the way, and none of this would have been possible without the trust of our clients, partners, and supporters. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Over the past three years, we have successfully delivered numerous projects focused on security consulting, security analysis, and professional training.
We sincerely thank all our clients and partners for choosing CSC and for their continued trust.

📄 Insightful Security Papers
We have authored and published a range of analytical papers addressing current security and foreign policy issues, both within the Czech Republic and in the broader international context.

It has been an honor to participate in international projects, particularly within the V4 framework. We are grateful to all collaborators and partners who invited us to contribute to these initiatives.

🚀 Looking Ahead: What’s Next
As we move forward, our focus remains clear:

🔍 Téma obrany státu v české politice sice existuje, ale výrazně nerezonuje, říká Zdeněk Rod v pořadu Do hloubky. 🎙️ Co stojí za nízkým zájmem o obranu? Jaká jsou bezpečnostní rizika a jak na ně reaguje politická reprezentace?

📺 Celý rozhovor sledujte na 👇

Tomáš Kolomazník na TV Nova komentoval výsledky průzkumu agentury STEM, který se týkal ochoty bránit zemi. Ochota není vysoká, ale kopíruje současné trendy. Důvodů může být několik, relativní bezpečí v ČR, obava riskovat život, "odcizení" armády od společnosti, politická polarizace, nedůvěra k politikům.

🧠 Kognitivní válka a měření informačních hrozeb na Bezpečnostní konference v Plzni
Náš ředitel Tomáš Kolomazník vystoupil na 1. ročníku Bezpečnostní konference v Plzni, kde se zapojil do panelu zaměřeného na kognitivní válčení.
🎤 Tomáš ve svém vystoupení zdůraznil:
Jak lze měřit negativní dopady informačního působení
Proč je analýza vlivu dezinformací klíčová pro moderní bezpečnostní strategie
Jakou roli hrají data a behaviorální analýzy v odhalování a prevenci kognitivních útoků
🌍 V době, kdy informační operace představují jednu z největších výzev pro státy, firmy i jednotlivce, je schopnost měřit jejich dopady zásadní pro udržení bezpečnosti a stability.
Děkujeme organizátorům za skvěle připravenou konferenci a inspirativní diskuze!

🚀 Japan to Deploy Long-Range Missiles as U.S. Security Concerns Grow 🇯🇵🔗🇺🇸
Japan is taking a bold step in strengthening its defense by deploying long-range missiles on Kyushu next year. These missiles will have the range to reach North Korea and China’s coastal regions, forming a key part of Japan’s “counterstrike capabilities.” 🛡️

With rising regional tensions and uncertainty over U.S. security commitments, Japan is actively bolstering its military. However, to avoid escalating tensions with China, deployments on the Okinawa islands are unlikely. 🌏⚖️

Experts believe these measures could reinforce U.S.-Japan ties, but concerns linger over America’s long-term commitment to its security pact. This shift could even reignite debates on Japan acquiring nuclear weapons. ⚠️☢️

As Europe moves towards militarization, Japan is also expanding its arsenal in response to shifting global security dynamics. The question remains: Is the world entering a new era of military build-up? 🧐💭

🌏 China’s Military Movements: Australia Caught Off Guard 🚢💥
Uncertainty looms over Australia’s awareness of China’s recent live-fire drills in the Tasman Sea. 🤔 The first alert?Not from official intelligence — but from a Virgin Australia pilot who overheard a Chinese naval broadcast on February 21. 🎧✈️

Shortly after, the New Zealand navy informed Australia, while Beijing insists it gave prior warnings. 📡
🔴 What happened?
China’s warships conducted live-fire drills in international waters, just 346 nautical miles off Australia’s coast. 🌊
🇦🇺 Australian air traffic control quickly issued a hazard alert, diverting flights to avoid the area.
🕵️‍♂️ Though no direct observation of the firing occurred, naval movements strongly indicated live-fire exercises.
📅 The drills continued on February 22, leading to the rerouting of 49 aircraft.
🇦🇺 Australian authorities have since raised concerns about China’s "lack of notice."
🇨🇳 Meanwhile, China maintains its actions were lawful and properly communicated — and has reaffirmed its position that it will take Taiwan "sooner or later." ⚠️🇹🇼

🌍 Europe on Its Own? US-Russia Talks Leave Allies Behind 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺

The Munich Security Conference has revealed growing tensions between the US and Europe, particularly on NATO, Ukraine, and trade. While Washington prepares for US-Russia negotiations in Saudi Arabia—without Ukraine or European nations at the table—Europe faces a stark reality: the era of US military dependence may be ending.
🔹 Defence Dilemma: The US is pushing European NATO members to raise defence spending to 3% of GDP 💰💪.
🔹 Transatlantic Tensions: US VP JD Vance’s fiery speech against European policies sparked backlash 🎤🔥.
🔹 Trade War Redux? Trump announces 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium imports 🏗️📉.
🔹 Europe's Next Move: Leaders gather in Paris to rethink security strategy and defence cooperation 🤝.

As Europe navigates an unpredictable US stance, will this be the turning point for strategic autonomy? Is Europe ready to take the lead on its own security? 🇪🇺⚖️

🔴 From Ceasefire to Control: Trump’s Gaza Ambitions

🇺🇸 Former President Donald Trump has announced that the U.S. will "take over the Gaza Strip," framing it as a plan for economic development, job creation, and housing 🏗️💼🏡. However, he provided no details on implementation.

🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the idea 👍, while Palestinian supporters decried it as a move toward ethnic cleansing 🚨.

Trump’s proposal reportedly includes relocating nearly 2 million Palestinians 🚶‍♂️➡️❓, raising fears that many may never return. This shift from ceasefire diplomacy to territorial control has sparked widespread condemnation from Turkey 🇹🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, the UK 🇬🇧, and others.

⚖️ Critics argue that such a move undermines prospects for lasting peace ☮️ and violates international law 📜⚠️.

🌊 Undersea Warfare? NATO Defends Baltic Cables from Hybrid Threats 🌐⚓
🔒 NATO has launched "Baltic Sentry", a multinational taskforce, to protect critical undersea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. 🚢💻

💡 The initiative comes amid growing hybrid threats, including:
📉 Severing of Estlink 2 power cable, linked to Russia’s shadow fleet.
🛳️ Damage to pipelines and data cables by Chinese vessels.
⚡ Baltic states preparing to disconnect from Russia’s energy grid by February.
📣 Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, highlights the seabed’s vital role in global finance and communications, vowing serious consequences for future sabotage.

🌍 A clear message: NATO is committed to safeguarding the infrastructure that keeps the world connected.
💬 What are your thoughts on NATO’s proactive stance in the Baltic Sea?

🌎 Trump Revives Expansionist Rhetoric: Greenland, Panama Canal, and Canada in Focus 🇺🇸

In a bold Mar-a-Lago press conference, President-elect Donald Trump reaffirmed his intent to pursue territorial expansion, including acquiring Greenland and regaining control of the Panama Canal. Citing their strategic value for national security, Trump didn’t rule out military or economic measures, despite firm rejections from Denmark and Panama.
Trump also called Canada’s border “artificial” and suggested annexation for economic and defense reasons—a notion swiftly dismissed by Canadian leaders.

His renewed vision highlights Greenland’s rare earth minerals and Arctic military significance, as well as claims of mismanagement at the Panama Canal. These ideas, part of a broader narrative, raise questions about the future of U.S. foreign policy and global relations under Trump’s leadership.
