It's surreal that the terrorist state russia openly puts to death the entire Ukrainian nation by weaponizing frost while it hardly even makes breaking news anymore. It's -12°/-17° today with new massive attacks expected soon.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

Denmark is in NATO. That alone makes the idea of “invading” Greenland absurd. We already have military access and can secure rare earths through agreements. An invasion would be unnecessary, expensive, and destroy U.S. credibility. With @katiecouric.bsky.social

It is very important that there is sufficient support for Ukraine right now. This concerns both our resilience and recovery, as well as sufficient air defense munitions.
Missiles for air defense and all the necessary assistance for the energy system are the top priority at the moment.

Ukraine's energy workers are thawing pipes completely frozen under layers of ice to restore heating to Ukrainian homes amid severe subzero temperatures.

I had forgotten this, but it is consistent with Trump's efforts to pressure Zelenskyy into dangerous concessions to Putin. It should be (yet another) alarm signal to European leaders - Trump's goals in Ukraine may be the opposite of Europe's.
During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

The most immediate and practical consequences of US air strikes on Venezuela for Europe and Ukraine are temporarily shifting media attention away, with the corollary shifting of the White House’s attention span and focus.

zelensky heeft gelijk natuurlijk. En waar Rusland systematisch dagelijks Oekrainse civiele infrastructuur en hele dorpen vernietigt zou een aanval op de residentie v Poetin - huis is foute woord - waar ook militaire communicatie faciliteiten zijn geheel legitiem zijn.

Rusland dreigt met een tegenaanval. De Oekraïense president Zelensky reageerde snel en stellig: "Dit zijn leugens." Volgens hem wil Rusland overheidsgebouwen in Kyiv aanvallen.

These talks will fail, just like all the previous ones. They’ll fail because Trump is not serious about putting pressure on Russia. And once they’ll fail, he’ll blame Ukraine and announce further cuts in support. None of this will change until the Europeans decide they actually want Ukraine to win.
So to sum it up - what I got 2 days ago is correct - US claims ownership of Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Russia runs it and sells energy to Ukraine. That’s why Trump mentioned the “cheap prices”
Guarantees are on the Europeans. And if this doesn’t work, Trump says, “they’ll just keep dying”.

About the press conference:
Trump is absolutely detached from reality. He doesn’t understand how to end this war or what he is doing. But he visibly enjoys bragging about his relationship with putin and their sweet phone calls in front of Zelenskyy.

Rusland verliest en is wanhopig, ‘2026 wordt jaar van hybride escalatie’
Rusland heeft zijn doelstellingen in Oekrane niet gehaald, is aan de verliezende hand en gaat daarom zijn hybride inspanningen in 2026 opvoeren, schrijven onderzoekers van het Royal United Services Institute, de denktank van het Britse ministerie van Defensie. De Russische strategie is vastgelopen, aldus onderzoekersMaksym Beznosiuk en William Dixon. Maar Vladimir Poetin is in een periode van maximaal gevaar terechtgekomen. We moeten ons zich niet voorbereiden op een herrijzend Rusland, maar op een wanhopig Rusland.
