Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Sätze, die man aus einigen Ecken nicht hört:

„Natürlich hat der Iran ein Recht auf Selbstverteidigung, aber auch die Pflicht zur Klugheit, einzusehen, wann man sich ergeben muss.“

„Weder Sanktionen noch Waffenlieferungen stoppen diesen Horror“

Putin's footprint in history. When a person is unable to create something, he destroys. This is my native Kyiv in the massive Russian shelling.

The Trump admin pushes elections in Ukraine because this is one of Pu's demands. Pu pushes elections because he thinks Ru could destabilize Ukraine and somehow install a puppet as Ukrainian president thus enabling Ru to diplomatically conquer Ukraine now that the military conquest is failing.

Ru is relentlessly pursuing its original goals of demilitarizing Ukraine and leaving it without security guarantees so it can invade the rest of it without resistance.

Don't fall for Trump's announcement that he'll use tariffs to bring russia to the negotiation table. He stopped aid to Ukraine, he stopped sharing intelligence, and he's still pushing for Zelensky's removal. The tariff talk is empty rhetoric. He also imposes and lifts those twice a day.

REPORTER: Are you gonna make it US policy that the US wouldn't defend NATO countries that don't pay their fair share?

TRUMP: Well, I think it's common sense. If they don't pay I'm not gonna defend them. No, I'm not gonna defend them.

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.

Wir müssen mehr in Sicherheit investieren. Doch ein Sondervermögen nur für Verteidigung ist der falsche Weg.

Stattdessen braucht es eine Reform der Schuldenbremse. Die Mehrheiten dafür zu schmieden ist eine Bewährungsprobe für das politische System.

Wer noch behauptet, dass man mit Trump schon klarkäme, dass die USA noch ein zuverlässiger Verbündeter europäischer Demokratien seien, der hat nicht nur den Schuss, sondern die Schüsse nicht gehört - will sie nicht hören oder tut so, als wäre nix. Das ist vieles, nur keine realitätsbasierte Analyse.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.

📌They should STILL be talking now.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Fast zeitgleich Präsident Pellegrini. Das übliche Bemühen um Neutralität, d.h. Reden vom Frieden, Äquidistanz ("die verfeindeten Länder"). Hoffnung/Zuversicht, dass "die derzeitige Regierung der UA sich konstruktiv zu den Verhandlungen positioniert." Auch hier: UA ist das Problem, kein Wort zu RU.

Robert Fico meldet sich verspätet zum gestrigen Eklat. Natürlich nicht mit Solidarität für die Ukraine, sondern der Unterstellung, die UA wolle Krieg führen und werde darin von europ.Staaten unterstützt. Es folgt noch Forderung nach Gastransit über die UA. Russland wird mit keinem Wort erwähnt.

Nein, zelensky stand NICHT kurz vor einem Deal. Sonst hätten sie ihn hinter verschlossener Tür verhandelt und auf der Pressekonferenz präsentiert. Trump und Vance wollten genau das: zelensky als aggressor dastehen lassen, der „Vorteile“ erzwingen will. Putin -Puppet -Trump

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
