I would like to speak to my fellow Europeans ↓

For once a good take on Finlandization that does justice to the complex feelings Finns have about the era - and also highlights why it would never be an option for Ukraine

What does history teach us about the possible path forward for Ukraine? I take a look, from grim scenarios like Molotov-Ribbentrop and Vichy France, to Finlandization, Korea and Cyprus, to a surprise comeback like Croatia. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

The question of Ukraine joining NATO is when, not if. And that was agreed by ALL allies, during extensive discussions at the NATO Summits in Bucharest, Vilnius and Washington. I don’t recall members reconvening to ratify any backtracking since then.🧵1/5

Finnish Nammo Lapua ammunition factory receives largest order from Finnish Defence Forces since the second world war.* 220 million € for 4 years contract, two calibres produced. Factory expansion and 60 new employees to be hired. Talks for further orders also ongoing. yle.fi/a/74-20149276

America, it’s up to you to deal with Trump. Europe, it’s up to you to deal with Putin. Now or never.

Agree. At this point, you disrespect Ukraine, you disrespect Europe. This would’ve been unacceptable towards any European leader but the fact that Zelenskyy leads a country at war makes it the greatest possible insult.

Trump: You've allowed to be in a very bad position...You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. You're gambling with World War three. Vance: Have you said thank you once? Zelenskyy: A lot of times. Vance: Offer some words of appreciation for the US and [Trump]...

BREAKING: Zelensky has left the White House. The afternoon press conference is cancelled. No Deal Signed This was embarrassing JD Vance and Trump should be ashamed

Ukrainian military officer: "How do you imagine giving away cities with people? Trump does, because we are not people to him, he is negotiating on behalf of Putin’s interests, so don’t stoop to that"
