Jep, tid til at droppe X (og Meta og TikTok) som kanaler for officiel kommunikation.
X og Meta er væsentlige redskaber for den amerikanske administrations kontrol med diskursen og spredning af misinformation - og dem vil Trump ikke have, EU truer.
Hvilket nok desværre ikke vil hindre #dkpol og #dkmedier i fortsat at bruge - og dermed støtte - X og Meta.

TL;DR: Russia has decided that the UK is Russia's enemy, and there's nothing we can do to change that as long as Putin is in power. The choice is whether to be an undefeated enemy or a defeated one. That's all the choice we get.

If anyone in Europe was still clinging to the idea that the Trump administration isn't immovably pro-Russian and hostile to Western institutions and values, they need to read the 2025 National Security Strategy and think again.

Agree. This has been very clear for a long time.
Surprise is the main word here. I absolutely cannot understand why people are still surprised or shocked by that, and how even some experts still sugarcoat the US and its views on Europe.
People continue to be surprised by this stuff as if we don't already know that the main point of strategy documents for the Trump admin is throwing far-right talking points together in exactly the way that produces maximum trolling.

Dear Europe, especially Germany,
Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.
Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.
Europe must defend Europe.

Correct - Trump likes Putin and is not to be trusted. He will demand payment for protection - and then renege on the protection if it is really needed. As he has already done by threatening to redraw from NATO if we did not pay more even after our troops fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As opposed to Trump's incredibly weak "sanctions" on Russia, this shows its true priorities. Romania is a front line state, and the US is going to weaken Romanian security now and for the foreseeable future.
This is why European states need to make sure Ukraine wins.
