So as the US are adjusting their "Ukraine Peace Plan" & Trump himself says that this is “not my final offer”, Viktor Orban suggests that “the Europeans must immediately and unconditionally support the US initiative”. Orban is more Trumpian than Trump himself. If this weren't sad, I would be funny.

Reassuring how a US President honors the fight the Ukrainian people are putting up day after day against the ruthless attacks of an aggressor

So the US President calls on Ukraine to quickly 'accept the US-Peace Plan'. Then a group of Senators announces after a call with M. Rubio that there is no plan, just a leaked 'Russian wishlist'. Which is then refutet by Rubio, yes there is a US-Plan. Clearly a group of professionals at work here...

So, just to recap:
- Europe negotiates a weak transatlantic trade deal because "it depends on the US for its defense"
- And now, when core European defense issues are at stake, Europe isn't even consulted while lavish rewards are offered to the aggressor next door
About time to get real, Europe!

And I guess that's why Prime minister Netanyahu signed on to the Trump Peace Plan that talks about "a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood".....
Go figure.
Go figure.
Netanyahu: “A Palestinian state will not be established. It’s an existential threat to Israel and unrealistic even with reforms.”

In case you are looking for a musem recommendation: the Glenstone Museum in Maryland (just outside Washington D.C.) is nothing short of amazing. A one of a kind blend of nature, architecture and amazing art.

What an amazing evening commemorating 30 years to the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in Tel Aviv tonight. Mise en scene impressively by filmmaker Amos Gitai. Rabin still touches many because of his sincerity. He knew peace is a difficult proposition - and still went for it, no matter the risk

A sober analysis of the much hyped Tomahawk story:
"Whether or not Tomahawks arrive in Ukraine, this will not decide the war. What matters far more is that European governments continue to invest substantial funds directly into Ukraine’s missile sector."

The way I recall it, Hungary receives Western (=EU) financial support. So by that standard, Hungary should not behave "as if it were completely sovereign", right?
Hungarian PM Orban once again questioned Ukraine’s sovereignty, claiming it is “not fully independent” because of Western military support and should not behave “as if it were completely sovereign.”
Kremlin propaganda.
