Ukraine is not alone.

Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

“Russia’s undeclared war against the West is already underway, and the stubborn refusal to acknowledge this fact by most Western leaders makes the West’s defeat only a matter of time.” Unless of course we decide to do something about Russia…

The latest round of US sanctions is a banger. 160 oil tankers of Russia's "shadow fleet" are now under sanctions and can probably be considered scrap metal. In addition, two Russian oil majors (Russia's 3rd and 4th largest producers) have been blacklisted.

Why Biden’s Farewell Sanctions on Russian Oil Are a Big Deal
The US on Friday announced the most sweeping and aggressive sanctions yet on Russia’s oil trade, just ten days before Joe Biden leaves the White House to be replaced by Donald Trump as president.

I promised to post a series of why the fall of the Assad regime is a monumental defeat for Moscow and addressed the situation in Africa where Russia's plundering of resources is threatened by the losses of the Syrian bases. Today, comes the next episode:

Now that Assad and the Russians are out of Syria, the Persian Gulf States might actually be able to make this Qatar-Turkey Pipeline happen.

This would help Europe reduce dependency on Russia energy imports and it would eliminate Iran's perpetual threat against ships near the Strait of Hormuz.

Former Syrian President Bashar Al Assad ruled ruthlessly for over two decades. With the help of Russian and Iranian forces, he also carried out some of the most vicious acts of the country’s 13-year civil war. We have documented many of these, from chemical attacks to the bombing of hospitals 🧵

Breaking:

Large columns of US-backed SDF forces are moving into Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria. Apparently, SAA and Iranian militias withdrew without a fight. Similar reports from areas south of Raqqa. It is a complete collapse.

Game over for Assad in the East.

I går gikk Russland på det største tapet av soldater i hele krigen: 2030 drepte og hardt skadde.

De angriper med kinesiske golfbiler, motorsykler, stridsvogner fra 50-tallet og artilleri fra 40-tallet. Rubelen stuper i verdi og utlånsrentene nærmer seg 50%.

Kort sagt: Russland er ikke uslåelig.
