Cut bono? Geography and business interest explain DT’s approach to the dictator in Belarus. If he wants to export 🇺🇦 strategic resources in the east and north, he needs safe LoCs - something that is friends in Moscow and Minsk can provide. This is what the meeting is all about.

The NATO ton assembled last eve in Berlin. I am still amazed about its small size. Everyone knows everyone, be it in uniform or diplomatic gown. While it was great to meet with my former buddies, the content of the official speeches made my heart sink.

Die 🇩🇪 Politik propagiert immer noch ein Paralleluniversum: redet von einem „historischen NATO-Gipfel“, der Verlässlichkeit Trumps als Bündnispartner und einer 🇩🇪 „Führungsrolle“. Wohin bittet schön will 🇩🇪 denn andere führen??

I don’t get tired of making Ukraine’s case; this time on Al Arabiya. The NATO Summit in The Hague was a lost opportunity.

On Japanese TV Hodo 1930: DT compared his recent military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 🤯
I thanked Japan for its multiple contributions to upholding democracy and the role of law. Might makes right is an attitude we must counter.

The “Nato Make Trump Happy Summit”: True, Europeans lack military capabilities and manpower. But more than anything else they lack self-confidence and vision.

What else could I possibly do on my birthday than making another passionate pitch in support of Ukraine? Delivering the keynote address at the Taxand Global Conference in Berlin today was a great opportunity to do so. 🇺🇦💕

Früher wurde bei NATO- Gipfeln über strategische Fragen diskutiert. Heute wird ein „Erfolg“ in Prozentzahlen definiert. Auf dem Wales NATO-Gipfel 2014 verpflichteten sich die Verbündeten, 2 % für Verteidigung auszugeben. Elf Jahre später haben noch nicht einmal alle dieses Ziel erreicht.

Die v BK Merz geradezu en passant erwähnte Aufhebung nationaler Restriktionen geht in die richtige Richtung. Aber sie kommt spät, zu spät, und ersetzt keine robuste Strategie.

Ob Trump die Geduld mit Putin verliert, sollte für uns Europäer wirklich zweitrangig sein. Stattdessen sollten wir unsere eigene Strategiefähigkeit nachhaltig verbessern. Gestern im Europamagazin.

This is a brazen political attack on Germany’s democracy. Clearly the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution did everything right to prompt reactions from Trumpist leaders.

Friedrich Merz will an den transatlantischen Beziehungen festhalten. Bitte wie? Realität ist, dass Trump nicht nur die Ukraine an den 🇷🇺 Aggressor verkaufen will, sondern auch Europa. Wake-up!
