1/5 A message to Europe:
We must stop holding on to the illusion that the war in Ukraine will end soon.
It won’t.
Trump’s actions—and our inaction—have made that impossible.
If we don’t wake up now, we’ll pay the price later

End a clinical trial early, and researchers might not be able to tell if it worked, leaving participants worse off than when they started. But that is what the Trump administration is asking scientists to do, @katherinejwu.com reports: theatln.tc/Qgq0vPCX

First, this is 10000% definitely SECRET before execution. Spies have been executed for less.
Second, it is completely, 10000% unnecessary detail in this context.
Just a very little and insecure “man” (so to speak) with a huge and very fragile ego boasting that he knows Important Things.

Yhdysvaltoihin matkustavien kannattaa varautua ongelmiin
Yhdysvaltojen rajatarkastuksissa kuulustellaan aiempaa tiukemmin myös suomalaisia – ”Se vain jatkui, eikä mikään vastaus riittänyt”
Yhdysvalloissa pysyvästi asuvat suomalaiset kertovat, että he ovat joutuneet viime aikoina aiempaa kovemman tenttauksen kohteeksi saapuessaan maahan takaisin Euroopasta.

Trump's suggestion to pull 35,000 troops from Germany and shift them to Hungary indicates that he is no longer committed to defending the Baltic states. We in Europe need to awaken to this situation and take substantial measures to deter russia. Not in 6 months, but now!

If we, Europeans, fail to spend big on defence now, we will be forced to spend 10 times more if we don’t prevent a wider war. As the Polish PM I’m entitled to say it loud and clear, since Poland already spends almost 5% of its GDP on defence. And we will continue to do so.

If Europe were to implement everything the US demanded of it last week, it would end up empowering Europe at the cost of US power
