If Trump succeeds with Project 25 and his imperial goals (Greenland for example), then sooner or later the UK is going to have to pick a side, and the EU will have to draw a line. Have cake and eat it looks dead and buried.

Putin is looking for his escape route and personal guarantees.

Another American surprise: the U.S. opposes using frozen Russian assets as collateral for a €140B EU-backed reparations loan to Ukraine, Bloomberg reports. While the UK and Canada support the plan, both the U.S. and Japan are taking a cautious stance, slowing EU efforts to rally full G7 backing.

Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell:

Russia will only be able to destroy Ukraine if Ukraine is unable to defend itself. If the US does not provide the means to do so, are we going to do it? Question mark. This is the existential question that Europe must answer for itself:

And Zelenskyy confirmed this in his talks with reporters in Kyiv on Sunday.

Translated from Ukrainian, this is what Zelenskyy said:

The position of the Russians hasn't changed. They want us to withdraw from Donbas - not the entire East, but specifically Donbas, that is, completely from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. I made it clear that Ukraine's stance in this context remains unchanged. I explained this both to President Trump and to Mr. Witkoff. We understand that Mr.
Witkoff is simply conveying what Russia means; this does not necessarily reflect his own view, at least according to him. I made it clear to him that there are some misleading impressions. The story is that the Russians claim they supposedly held a referendum among the Russian people in Donbas, and that they supposedly want to join Russia. But first there was the occupation, and only afterward did something uncontrolled and clearly illegal happen, which they called a "referendum." Moreover, I would say that these signals from the Russians are so far from reality that ten years passed between the start of the occupation and the so-called "referendum." Do you see where it doesn't add up? Mr. Witkoff points out that it was incorporated into their constitution. So I explained to Mr. Witkoff once again that if tomorrow Putin adds something else to their constitution, after the war ends in one way or another, will we need to withdraw from some territory again? And if, for example, I amend the Constitution of Ukraine to include two regions of the Russian Federation, would they then leave those territories? This is a non-functional model.

Trump is Putin’s Viceroy. No one wants to accept this, but history will prove it’s true. Trump is, and has always been, The Manchurian Candidate, tasked with following Putin’s orders, while fulfilling Khrushchev’s vision of collapsing the US from the inside without a firing a shot: Project 2025.

NEWS: Trump is finalizing plans to offer U.S. asylum to far right, anti-immigrant protesters in Europe.

Meanwhile, he posts videos of himself literally shit-bombing U.S. protesters.

This sums it up. Freedom for neo-nazis. Feces for my people.

READ: Trump defends foreign, neo-nazi protesters but bombs U.S. protesters.

Trump’s refugee plan offers asylum to white extremists; meanwhile, he attacks U.S. protesters online with virtual human excrement.

During the latest meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents, Trump “went on and on” about “his grievances of not having gotten the Nobel Peace Prize.” - WP 🤦‍♀️🫩

I don’t think NATO are in the ‘either/or’ camp, they know a blended approach is required. The problem is the time it takes to introduce drones in volume, and the rapid changes in technology that requires a continuous innovation stance.

7 million is a great turnout.

So what happens next America?

Ant music @stigmergy.bsky.social · 1d

It does look like this is the war that Europe / NATO should be fighting. It could defeat Russia by crippling its economy, and if not defeat Russia, then take away its possibility of victory.

These are astonishing numbers. I don’t recall such a redistribution of wealth without a revolution.

I would like to hope so. But unfortunately Europe is still weak, divided and lacks the real united conviction of actions not words.

Which is why Zelensky is calling for a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.

Trump may try to force Ukraine to surrender by withdrawing or threatening to withdraw support.

Here we go again.
