ok so maybe I was wrong when I said Putin would never invade. and maybe I was wrong when I said Putin will win in a week and we should not help. But now we’re here, and I'm going to tell you what putin is thinking, and I’m going to do it in the most patronizing way possible

Trump can only comprehend the war in Ukraine in terms that country has lost “seafront [property]”: “They have lost a lot of land, good land”
This is person that Merz, Rutte, Starmer et. al. are trying to appease.

“Which is why I will waste all my political capital on a useless pension reform and then throw Europe under the bus”
Chancellor Merz:
It’s a war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine,against Europe.If Ukraine falls,it won't end.Just as the Sudetenland wasn't enough in 1938
Putin doesn't stop.Anyone who still believes he's had enough should carefully analyze his strategies,documents,speeches,public appearances

When Czech President Petr Pavel announced early 2024 that he will organize 1.5 million artillery shells for Ukraine many people were in doubt if this would materialize. Up to this day Czechia successfully organized 1.8 million shells. Well done!

For the first time since WWII, the US is not on our side in Europe. It has sided with the aggressor against Ukraine and European security, seeking to mediate with Russia. The US no longer sees itself as NATO’s leader and treats Europe as a strategic target.

Yes, BUT: It also means we have created an extremely export-oriented economy, which relies on a weak Euro.
That becomes a problem because while Europe exports a lot of goods, it *imports* a lot of services from the U.S.

Trump’s ambassador to the EU is accidentally—and unwittingly—saying the US economy is losing ground to the EU, even if he doesn’t seem to realise it.
By comparing the wrong GDP metrics, Andrew Puzder is arguing the EU is currently trouncing the US. And it’s all because of Trump!

Call it the Huawei Effect: As American tech-industrial-surveillance giants are increasingly perceived as arms of the state, other countries will…increasingly perceive them as arms of the state. American global tech supremacy depended on the perception of this public-private sector boundary.
Super interesting reporting on Palantir‘s efforts to be used in Swiss governmental services and the military. They decided against it, because they worried Palantir was giving information to CIA and NSA and feared a loss of national sovereignty.

There still seems to be some residual hope in Europe that the U.S. will ultimately come to its senses. So let me destroy that dream for you.

Yes, Democrats won special elections last November, and will most likely win the midterms in 2026 – But that does not mean America First is over.

I have repeatedly emphasized the danger of further Russian occupation of Ukraine, because it would mean that Russia, preparing for a future war in Europe, would gain not only Ukraine’s infrastructure, but also additional mobilization potential - Ukrainians who know how to fight.

Ganz am Ende kommt hier eine mE sehr problematische Aussage von #Merz:
"Ich sage den Amerikanern: America First ist okay, aber America Alone geht nicht. Und wenn ihr mit Europa als Partner nichts anfangen könnt, dann macht wenigstens Deutschland zum Partner. "
