US security guarantees under Trump will have zero value. None.
Trump lies constantly & has a decades-long record of breaching contracts. He says he respects no laws beyond his personal ‘morality.’
Ukraine must not cede a single inch to US-RU pressure & Europe must back them up.

Trump is trying to give Russia exactly what they want & call it a ‘peace deal.’ It’s in fact a guarantee for a bigger war.
Donbas is Ukraine’s main line of defense. The region is heavily fortified & holds Russia back from attacking the rest of Ukraine, & from there the EU.

The media are fixated on the Trump Administration’s fascist rhetoric & bloody repression.
Europe’s leaders must focus on what would actually weaken fascists: Defend Ukraine. Free Iran. Dismantle the Russian war machine and the global networks propping it up.

“Hope to see you in a free Iran.”

You cannot cheer America’s illegal attack on Venezuela while condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s threats against Taiwan. Selective application of international law means no rule of law.

Vague threats to a few key officials must not be allowed to dictate European security. Moscow is laughing that we make it so easy for them. Step up Belgium.

Istanbul. Alaska. Geneva. Results? Nothing.
Why? Because:
Russia doesn’t want peace.
Team Trump wants business deals.
Europe refuses to shape events in Europe.
Berlin will be no different.

Something has changed. A side of America that most Europeans never encountered face to face is now in charge. Europe had a decade of warnings and the first Trump Administration to prepare for this. We chose not to.
To meet this moment and secure our future, we must also change.

Merz throws his full weight behind the EU & Belgium to share the risk burden & is going to Brussels to press @Bart_DeWever to let Europe use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s defense.
It’s refreshing to see a 🇩🇪@bundeskanzler step up, even if Belgium seems unlikely to budge.
