Chinese media discuss the division of Russia. Openly.

Yesterday, on NetEase - one of the largest Chinese media platforms - a text with the headline: "If Russia collapses, 7 million square kilometers cannot be lost" was published.

Or, to quote Pete Townsend, “The kids are alright”

It’s Gen X that’s alt right

In any case, US’s EU policy is stepping in it.
Forget the far right. The kids want a ‘United States of Europe.’
Based on social media, the upcoming generation is expressing more European solidarity than the continent has seen in decades.

PM Tusk:

Now we have a simple choice. Either money today or blood tomorrow. And I am not talking about #Ukraine only, I am talking about Europe.
And this is our decision to make. And only ours. I think all European leaders have to finally rise to this occasion.
So this is all that I can say.

Meanwhile in Russia: inspired by the Trump administration’s anti-European stance, state TV host Vladimir Solovyov predicted that Russian and American combat troops will jointly storm European cities.

Zelensky arrived in Kupyansk, which Putin claims is "under Russian control."

Totally agree with this paper. As with pre-WW1 and pre-WW2, US is absent. But Ukraine is now a major player in securing European security into the future, and Ukraine's plight today matters.
When I finished writing this a couple of weeks ago, I didn't expect that the US would set out in its National Security Strategy how it could help Putin achieve his goals.
#Russia has made two failed attempts to get the West to accept a Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe by diplomatic means. Now #Putin is intent on creating a sphere of influence by force. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

While things are bad now I think we have to prepare for the worst if we were to get a JD Vance presidency for example. In that case we would probably need to scramble to get a continent wide US independent nuclear deterrent. Sounds crazy today but remember that Vance vehemently hates EU democracies.

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

Nordic nukes make a lot of sense, because they are right next at the firing line after Trump extorts Ukraine to capitulate. Given that the "peace president" in US has now declared EU as an enemy. Self restraining in a world where only dictators are allowed to have nukes does not make any sense.

This is one reason a Nordic-Baltic deterrent could be, if not exactly cheap, then at least affordable.

Allies must act as allies.

We must respect each other's sovereignty.

Europeans do not share the same vision as the Americans on various issues. This is natural. What we cannot accept is the threat of interference in Europe’s democratic life.
