Fixed it for you Frau Merkel

Utterly shameful and embarrassing. Frau Merkel would rather blame those who were right than admit she was wrong.

Ein Freund aus dem Osten, zur Frage, was 35 Jahre 🇩🇪 Einheit ihm bedeuten:
„Es war keine Wiedervereinigung. Es war eine Übernahme.“
Meine Antwort auf die gleiche Frage:
„Wir dachten, der Kalte Krieg sei vorbei. Heute kämpfen wir noch den russischen Rest des 2. Weltkriegs.“

Dear Deutschland,
If current laws don’t let us shoot down drones that violate our airspace, then
1. Change the laws
2. Shoot the drones

Trump and Hegseth’s mad display today demoralized American military leaders and delighted America‘s enemies.

What Russia does everyday to Ukraine. What Russia will do across Europe if we don’t stop them in Ukraine.

Without Hungary, the EU drone wall would be a Maginot Line in the sky.

A drone wall is a military capacity, not a defense strategy. Above all we need to deter Russia from violating EU airspace in the first place and break their war economy. Hit the archer, not just the arrows.

A Russian military reconnaissance aircraft was intercepted over the Baltic Sea today by the German Air Force.

Because of course. Our nothing response on Friday guaranteed they would do it again. Russia will not stop until we stop them.

Time Russian jets allowed in Turkish airspace before getting shot down: 17 seconds
Time Russian jets allowed in EU airspace before angry press release: 12 minutes
“Quick and decisive” indeed.

First NATO refused to defend Ukraine’s skies. Now we refuse to defend our own.

Turkey already demonstrated the most effective response to Russian violations of NATO airspace 10 years ago: Warn them off, and if they ignore the warning, shoot them down.
Do nothing and Russia will keep coming. Hit back and they back down. The choice is ours. #Article4 #Estonia

Thanks to Ukrainian strikes, Russia has lost 20% refinery capacity so far. At 50% they’ll have difficulties supplying the front.
Ukraine is taking on Moscow’s economic war machine. Europe can do the same: Take down the shadow fleet in the Baltic & stop buying all Russian energy.

Dear Europe: Less talk about an American backstop, more actual stop Russia please.

Lack of serious consequences for Russia for such a serious escalation will be interpreted by the Kremlin as weakness and encourage them to escalate further

Russian drones hitting Poland aren’t a mistake. They’re a test, and NATO failed it. Expect more.

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasn’t an “incursion of drones.” Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldn’t “condemn it.” We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldn’t “call on Russia” to stop. We should stop them.

Trump’s meeting with Putin went really well, he totally knows who’s boss now

Europe’s three year “strategy” of too little, too late directly enabled today’s attack. Our weakness drives Russian escalation.

Promising Ukraine security guarantees only after a ceasefire is like promising water to someone dying of thirst in the Sahara only after it rains.
