Andrei Illarionov made a chilling assessment after Russian drone attacks on Poland:
NATO is dead — The US denied Article 5 for Poland.
He warned in January that Putin's goal in negotiations with Trump is to kill NATO so he can invade Europe, stripped of US security umbrella.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Chinese battery maker is launching mass produced sodium ion batteries with claimed 3.5x lifespan lithium and $10/kwh. Lithium is $115.

If true, fossil fuel use for almost any purpose is done. Solar & wind combined with cheap grid & home storage changes everything.

For 3yrs already, we’ve wondered why exactly Orban sides w Ru over Ukraine. The competing hypotheses are energy policy, appeasement, dictators band together, and irredentism. This news points to the last hypothesis— Orban wants Pu to give him parts of Ukraine.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Vandaag zag ik iemand eervol, moedig en fatsoenlijk de belangen van zijn land verdedigen in het Witte Huis. Het was de gast, niet de gastheer helaas. Zelenskyy verdient de volledige steun van de EU en ook Nederland zal er een schep bovenop moeten doen.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Ok. Once and for all. Trump is anti Ukraine, anti Democracy, anti Europe and, above all, pro Putin. There can be no more doubt—it’s just a disaster it’s taken so long for people to understand it.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."

Astonishing betrayal of an ally.
