Hard to think of a more dangerous moment for European security since the height of the Cold War. It’s brutally clear US is now indifferent if not actively hostile to Ukraine in the war. It’s not clear if the US would aid Europe if Russia were to expand that war...

The orange shit gibbon is owned by putin
We are all at risk because 70 million people believed Facebook ads that petrol and eggs would be cheaper and sadly they couldn’t see beyond the skin colour of Harris
Europeans democracies are much less likely to commit another generation to another meat grinder.
It’s a numbers game.
There’s only 1 result.
There are only 3 fronts Putin could open up - Finland, Turkey, and Poland. These are not good options for the Russians.
Would EU prefer a Ru Ukraine as realpolitik to a big, deepening, confrontation with Ru?
Starts with Amazon and Tesla. There are alternatives
Trump just wants wealth and people to bow to him... he is a stainon democracy and decency.
Slave Ukraine

So we need to act accordingly
It will take decades before we can trust America again
The only way that Russia could have the capacity to extend the war effort against a united Europe for more than a few months would be with the support of Trump’s regime?
So that is what may happen?
Europe must step up
Putin and Russia are fundamentally weak, Europe is strong. Now is the time to show that by ensuring Ukraine wins the war
What is the alternative to Starlink for example?
How long to replicate US satellite and SIGINT assets and capabilities?
Ukraine has all but bled them white for us.

It's an opportunity for Europe to become the superpower it can be.
Europe is now his enemy - very serious times 😞
That's not to say the threat isn't there but Ukraine has shown the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of not just Russia but also Belarus and North Korea.
Can Russia even afford to open up new fronts? I'm sceptical.
Decoupling from the US may now come, but that’s a long term project with huge implications and can’t be done quickly or as a knee-jerk
Best case: US stays on the sidelines and refuses to help Europe when Russia finally invades.
Worst case: US actively helps Russia invade.
Journalists in the west need to start speaking truth to power before they are swept away by authoritarians.
Ukraine and even Europe might find an alliance with China more attractive than the US Russia deal
long as they can pay for it. Arms manufacturers are not renowned for being patriotic.
I expect to see American boots in the form of contractors on the ground in Ukraine soon.
1️⃣ Immediately ramp up military support for Ukraine
2️⃣ Transfer the frozen Russian billions to Ukraine to pay for defence and reconstruction
3️⃣ Increase investment in defence to 3% of GDP this year

And, as then, we are not ready.
If Putin nuked Berlin Trumpbwould blame the EU.
The sooner we ignore and freeze out these condescending assholes, the better.
Europe must now undertake a large scale military re arming programme, independent of the US.
Do you think Putin's dragging it out for 3 years for the fun of it? He's sent T55s to the front line. His trucks can't drive across country. He hasn't got a navy in the Black Sea any more because a country *without* a navy drove them out.
Though to be fair, he was clear-sighted about the wisdom of depending on another country for strategic defence.
We can but hope that America will come to its senses.
Catch up!
US pulls out.
The challenge for Europe is that it has to agree the rules collectively of the new game -
on a side note - Reeves trip to China looks very sensible in hindsight. Likewise all Starmer’s international trips.
The US military is not fully behind Trump (that's been clear since his first term). There are generals who will definitely refuse to do certain things.
Trump is trying to act as a dictator but there are limitations
If we allow them to reinstate their economy and therefore their military this will go very bad.
The moment Russia stops attacking Ukraine and leaves, the war will stop. So, how do we make this the most attractive option for Putin? Kiss his ring or fight like your country depends upon winning?
#JustSaying
Europe is on its own. The UK and the EU must expedite their alliances.
Really? You’re still at that stage? You’re that naive?
You pampered insulated media types need to up your game - fast.
