The thing about a war is it forces people to pick a side. And Donald Trump, it seems to many in Europe, is siding with Vladimir Putin.
Trump’s America is Putin’s ally now
Europe and Ukraine are learning how little the U.S. cares, as the new president aligns himself with their greatest enemy.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Romania’s ultranationalist presidential candidate Călin Georgescu benefited from a TikTok campaign that was similar to influence operations run by the Kremlin in Ukraine and Moldova, according to declassified Romanian intelligence documents.
Romania’s presidential frontrunner Georgescu benefited from Russia-style booster campaign, declassified docs say
The files, released by the outgoing liberal president, don’t specify the Kremlin tried to swing the election in Călin Georgescu’s favor, but strongly suggest it.

Breaking: Romanian media are reporting that the Constitutional Court is considering canceling Sunday's presidential elections that saw far-right candidate Calin Georgescu end up first in the polls. A vote can be annulled if the "voting and the establishment of the results took place by fraud."
It seems all but certain that a candidate without a party, favored by Russia, spouting anti-semitic and far-right ideology outsmarted the media, pollsters and analysts to confidently enter the second round of the Romanian presidential elections.
As votes continue to be counted, PM Ciolacu remains in the lead. But it appears independent candidate Calin Georgescu is poised to advance to the second round. Georgescu’s far-right sympathies rival, if not surpass, those of AUR's Simion, incl. controversial stances on Romanian history and Ukraine.
