Man könnte meinen, die ganzen Manuals der russischen Dienste könnten auch bekannt sein & zu einem reflektierten Umgang in den Redaktionen führen. Statt Putins Drehbuch zu folgen.

Für die realen Drohnen, die real unschuldige Menschen in der Ukraine töten ist dann mehr Platz.

Meine diesjährige Reise ins Baltikum geht dem Ende entgegen. Und es ist mir ein großes Bedürfnis zu sagen, was alle längst wissen sollten.

Russland bereitet sich auf einen Angriff gegen die NATO vor. Der Kreml schlägt alle diplomatischen Angebote aus. Dieses Russland ist unser Feind.

On the one hand, collective EU borrowing by a coalition of the willing will keep Ukraine financially afloat and fund its defense through 2026 and beyond. On the other hand, the manner of its adoption risks reinforcing Russia’s belief that it can outlast Ukraine and Europe in a war of attrition.

Per Russian reporting shared via @bunkerhunter.bsky.social, it is a tanker, and the high-ranking official General Andrei Averyanov of the GRU.

Why would a GRU boss be on a shadow fleet tanker? ;)

Unglaublicher Text. Kein Wort zu Trumps Ukraine-Politik, zur Brüderschaft mit Putin, zur Aufkündigung der NATO, zu Trumps Gegnerschaft zu EU. Und das alles wegen wirtschaftlicher Interessen des Springer-Verlags in den USA (Politiko)

Quick guide to interpreting US foreign policy propaganda: if the word “deal” was used, some American made some money, and the war is still going on.
An estimated 200,000 people have fled fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo just days after Trump hailed a “historic” peace deal to end the conflict.

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.

It's not credible the US would fight a nuclear war over Europe if they aren't willing to contribute conventionally.

"Trump and his people are openly hostile to Europe. Once it is spelled out in the NSS, European leaders cannot ignore or explain the fact away anymore."
The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.
Europe Needs A New Strategy Too

I assumed the NSS would just ignore/deprioritize Europe (It did that on defense/NATO).

But the actual message was: Europe matters to us, we must save it from itself, the EU and its wokeness. Thus, the USG is going all in on foreign interference to help the far-right win a civilizational war.

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Despite turbulent rhetoric over US security guarantees and Europe’s push to bolster deterrence with France & the UK, both sides still invest in NATO nuclear-sharing—observable when it comes to upgraded dual-capable aircraft & gravity bombs, argue Alex Bollfrass & Annemiek Dols 8/10
Investment in nuclear sharing continues despite European doubts about US extended deterrence
In a year marked by debate about the reliability of US extended nuclear deterrence in Europe and by efforts to enhance British and French nuclear contributions, both sides of the Atlantic continue to upgrade aircraft and nuclear weapons that could contribute to a nuclear-sharing mission.

‼️Stunning statements by the Belgian Prime Minister at an event in Brussels this week.

🔹It's an illusion that Russia will lose in Ukraine
🔹If they lose, instability is bad because of nuclear weapons
🔹I have been personally threatened by Russia if their assets are seized

Wow.

Hegseth is a murderer. Even if the US was "at war" with drug smugglers – which it isn't – that would still be a war crime ("no quarter", see Article 8(2)(b)(xii) of the ICC's Rome Statute)
