My account changed from Twitter to Bluesky and from the American flag to the Denmark and Canadian flag because of Trump. I can't understand his thoughts, they are far from justice and democracy.
Fully agree 👍
Europe is still treating this like a temporary emergency instead of a long-term shift.
If we want the war to end, we have to prepare as if it will last forever.
That means move past the month-to-month panic and start placing decade-long industrial orders.
Let’s finally win!

JD Vance is not a leader.
He is an investment by Peter Thiel.
He is a puppet who changed his name and faith to fit a script.
He is a coward who refuses to defend his wife because he is afraid of upsetting his base.
He stands for nothing but his own career

If Zelensky’s speech hurt you, look in the mirror.
He is right: Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine with Chinese backing, while the US is waging a hybrid war on Europe. Yet we act like it’s not happening.
No one has done too much for Ukraine. Most have done far too little

The evidence is undeniable:
Mass graves in Bucha. Thousands of stolen children. Systematic torture.
Russia is not just invading. They are trying to erase a people from the map.
This is genocide. Treating it as just a war is a moral failure

I recognize what Trump is saying is no different from his campaign/stump etc. speeches, lies and all, and so it's easy to dismiss. Yet, for all tempted to do so, remember this:
He could launch nukes in minutes.
Every company must reevaluate their business, focusing on US country risk.

When asked how far he is ready to go to acquire Greenland, Trump replies "You'll find out".
My interpretation is this: in his mind Trump is absolutely ready to attack a NATO and EU member - Denmark & Greenland. He may not do it, but mentally he's ready.
Congress, your turn.

It is good that soldiers are being deployed to Greenland.
As long as it is just empty land, Trump sees it as a real estate deal he can bully his way into.
But if making a move requires killing allied troops and taking American casualties, the price becomes way higher

The economy of many Russian regions is collapsing❗
Western sanctions and the harassment of RU shadow navy ships, as well as Ukraine's attacks on RU's oil exports, have forced RU to sell oil at a large discount. The price is now ~ 27 $ per barrel, while the state budget is built on a price of 59 $.

Sanctions and attacks by Ukraine have collapsed Russia's oil revenues. RU sells oil at large discounts, and gets only $35 per barrel. After the US attacks on Venezuela, many shadow fleet ships on their way from Russia to the Caribbean have turned back.

If the West has avoided fighting Russia so far, why assume it would do so to defend Ukraine later?
The best security guarantees for Ukraine are a strong army and a defeated Russia, and Europe should transfer Russia’s frozen assets to make that happen
