With equipment and weapons, and if that isn't enough, in a military alliance.
As a terrified American, do not trust anything Trump says, or promises, unless it pertains to inflicting pain, chaos, destruction, and possibly war.
Trump is VERY dangerous, and is strategically collaborating with Putin.
Please ban together and protect yourselves. ✅
Use your gut feeling, your intuition. And try to get a feeling, a gut sense for the ones suggesting to take the lead!
Merz is not what you hope for. He is ONLY an abuser. He'll rob you when you're dead on the street, shot at his commands.
Ask Forensic Psychiatrists who is who!
It's all taking too long and giving leeway to China/Russia.
To avoid WWIII and save time to prepare for their next attacks, Ukraine needs to win NOW!

It's imo kinda obvious what the tasks and limitations of newspapers are. They influence people's opinions. People's opinions influence politicians' decisions. Politicians' decisions can help end wars.

Even if you care little about the Palestinians there is always, and if nothing else, #WeAreAllPalestinians very soon.
“How JD Vance emerged as the chief saboteur of the transatlantic alliance”
Meaning Germany will be able to act fast and strong enough.
A just so insufferable or
B So Not on the border w Warsaw Pact
that we didn't put any bases there.
Remember when Berlin was surrounded by DDR and US tanks were in BDR to stop USSR coming thru Fulda gap?
How do we make it clear we're 100% anti-Trump and anti fascism?
I fear the next five weeks will still be exactly the same
"The worst case is now the new normal”
And yet both Germany and the UK still have the military bases of Putin's new partner on our soil. I don't hear anyone talking about this.
I'm not suggesting they're about to be used against us but they are a reality.
- Merz ✅
- Pistoruis EU defense
- Zelenskyy EU Ratspräsident
- Klitschko President Ukraine
The fact that the US voted with russia in the UN didn't get much attention though, and noone who has been following this should be surprised that Zelenskyy is coming back empty handed.
Putin and Russia are fundamentally weak, Europe is strong
We have to start by making sure Ukraine wins the war. We can do that, but we have to choose to do it now
One of the first thing they should do is if they are getting serious about this fight is liberate the people of Hungary.
"Yet let's be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn'd upside down." A song from the English Civil War that fits perfectly with the current situation.
In the long term the EU may become more unified and more influential as a stand alone military power block.
"It is now Europe versus Russia and Western Russia formerly known as the USA"
But we still have a new government to form,
and on a totally different plane, the words "Germany" and "leader" have a strange ring if appearing together.😬
After all, 🇩🇪 has been the second most important supporter of Ukraine in terms of both humanitarian and armament aid, after the US (so far).
Plus, fingers crossed for the demodracy-wise track record continuing to be solid.🙏🤞
but not wot i meant.
track record with Fascism. that is its weakest point. we don't need a repeat of Nazi Germany. Nazi AmeriKKKa is plenty to contend with.
I'm not saying they're about to be used against us but the reality is that we have the military of Putin's partner camped in our countries.
It argued very convincingly that as 🇨🇦 couldn't hope to match them militarily, they would have to fight via an insurgency and the US record on those isn't great. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc.
And 'yes'... to all those points.
Plus, try as Trump might to install non-DEI, MAGA-friendly senior military commanders, I'd wouldn't be surprised if some older, wiser seniors wouldn't accept being used to turn on Canada.
Maybe not outright mutiny but it could get messy for him.
According to Der Spiegel, Merz was not invited to London on Sunday.
Even when China offers something valuable in return?
The next years will get quite interesting.
That power they so desperately want allows them to be hateful, cruel, racists, misogynists, rapists, liars, thieves.
Worst case would be that the free world does not have the means to help 🇺🇦win against the agressor.
Or that we fumble this opportunity.
Its just no time for nice weather leaders.
The legal situation is complex, eg this on US bases in the U.K.
