A French nuclear deterrent for Europe (preferably with UK assistance) while Europe actually commits to rearmament, reindustrialization and a reduction in foreign dependence would be the best case scenario.
It looks like Europe has to prepare to defend itself against Russia and an at best ambivalent US. Putin will likely see a window of opportunity to act before the end of the trump administration

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Listening to Trump presser for 40 mins. Rambling, repetitive stream of consciousness. Narcissistic in extreme. Every thought linked back to whether the person or entity voted for or likes Trump. If Biden had delivered this there would have been serious concern about his health.

🇵🇱🇺🇸 Nawrocki faces his first, major, entirely self-inflicted conundrum: should he join a thing that Putin and Lukashenka were invited to? If he says "yes", Tusk gets a free penalty kick that he won't miss; if he says "no", what if he loses his coveted "Trump whisperer" status?
Donald Trump has invited Polish President Nawrocki to join his new Board of Peace.
He is among dozens of world leaders, including Russia's Vladimir Putin, to receive an invitation.
Nawrocki's office says it will discuss the proposal with Washington before reaching a decision.

Very good piece here from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social. Hard to disagree with her conclusion: "Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him. Now is the time." 👇
"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

Between trying to replace UN SecC w a country club format, inviting Pu to join, sulking to the Norwegian PM about the Nobel, and insisting on being given Greenland, Trump is acting like a madman. Hard to say whether his mind is going or the sycophantic strategy everyone's been pursuing is backfiring

People need to stop seeing the hand of Putin everywhere. Trump does what he does because he's a vain, stupid person who is gripped with megalomania and narcissism. Don't go for complicated explanations when the simple one is in front of you.
Tom, do you think it's possible that Putin himself put Trump up to this Greenland scheme simply because he knows it will destroy NATO from within?
Or is it simply Trump seeing a big island and thinking "I want it".
Or something else?
