Fact-check: True

Is this a Cold War between the USA and Europe...

The Bundestag’s top intelligence experts are calling for a European spy network, warning that Europe can’t rely on intelligence from the United States amid growing uncertainty.

‘They brought it on themselves’: a new low in US-Ukraine relations

As a non-Ukrainian deeply connected with Ukraine (married for Ukrainian woman) with a lot of family and friends in Ukraine, I will say one thing only: Nothing can replace understanding of people of Ukraine more than direct contact with them. No analysis, no research, no history books.

Military aid to 🇺🇦: 🇺🇸: $64.13 billion 🇩🇰: $7.54 billion Pop: 🇺🇸: 347 million 🇩🇰: 6 million Aid per person: 🇺🇸: $184 🇩🇰: $1256 The U.S. was paying the equivalent of 3 large pizzas per person per year to destroy the Russian military & someone convinced them it was a bad deal

Just a few years ago, this individual was recognized as a genius by many people around the world. Be careful when evaluating someone.

It is a logical concern, taking into account the latest actions of the USA

For me it is obvious that the USA is rolling down towards autocratic regime. It will take time and some resistance, but the decision is made and main players have a strategy. They have resources and power to execute the plan.

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash. The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash. Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting." www.cfr.org/article/how-...

NEW: Russian forces conducted one of the largest ever missile and drone strikes against Ukraine as Russian forces continue to adapt strike packages to overwhelm Ukraine's air defenss by increasing the total number of Shahed and decoy drones in each strike.(🧵1/11) More: isw.pub/UkrWar030725

At least 14 people were killed and 37 wounded in Russian missile and drone attacks against Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday.

Is America great again yet?

A reminder: Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump was convicted on all counts on May 30, 2024, becoming the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony.

Sanctions on Ukraine for defending itself from an invasion by the world's leading nuclear power, yay! Humankind discovers new levels of insanity and stupidity every single day.

58 missiles and 194 drones fired on Ukraine last night. That's how Russia "wants peace" while Trump keeps twisting Ukraine's arms.

The consequences of Trump's "peace plan"

Trump’s administration of US President plans to revoke the temporary legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainians who sought refuge in the country after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine- Reuters

Spy agencies around the world may limit their information-sharing with the U.S. due to its reconciliatory approach to Russia - NBC News Intelligence agencies among American allies - including Five Eyes Spy Alliance (US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada), Israel, and Saudi Arabia -

Europe faces a clear and present danger. We must be able to defend ourselves and put Ukraine in a position of strength. ReArmEurope will boost defence spending, strengthen our defence industrial base and push the private sector to invest ↓ europa.eu/!HDGvdG

The night after the US stopped sharing all intelligence with Ukraine, the Russian army attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown of Kryvyi Rih with ballistic missiles, killing at least four people and injuring more than 30 others.

The question that arises is whether Europe can defend itself without help from the United States. My answer is that it is certainly possible. It will be challenging and will necessitate sacrifices, but everyone acknowledges that any emergency requires unequivocal commitment to resolve the situation.

Despite my firm commitment to the EU's future, I find it somewhat disappointing that politicians who have failed in their domestic affairs would have to determine the future of Europe.

Macron is quite different without the USA support www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I remember how just three years ago Macron was preaching not to "humiliate" putin. He was calling him by phone and pushing for keeping "communication channel" with moskow open. France and all West Europe was comfortably leaving under US protection at the time. Realization of facts hit hard.

The message is clear: Pease and security in Europe can be guaranteed only by been strong.

The chain of events is clear. The scandal in the Oval Office was staged to achieve advantage over Zelenskii and to push him over unfavorable terms of negotiations. That is exactly what russia was pushing from the beginning, to isolate Ukrainian President and to dictate the terms of the peace talks.

The EU has no choice but to accept the fact that the US administration is not our ally at the moment and any "negotiations" for peace carried out by Trump will be blackmailing Ukraine and Europe to protect Moscow's interests.

I presume a trillion euro for the EU military budget, closed skies and nuclear shield over Ukraine. Anything less than that will mean capitulation of Ukraine and Europe and further aggressions from moscow.

No any pressure from the USA to russia to be seen...

Sen. Sanders "We are not moving towards an oligarchy, we are leaving an oligarchy" Realization of this fact will give you an answer why Trump (and his billioners friends) are so obsessed with Putin and Moskow.

I didn't hear anything valuable in Trump's address in the Congress, but it is maybe because I am not an American.

Trump demonstrates a very interesting approach to peace deals. Banning Ukraine military aid, financial support, and intelligence, but secretly negotiating with Russia for North Stream 2. Conclusion - no money for me, no help for you.

Washington BANS Britain from sharing any US military intelligence with Ukraine www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Donald Trump's secret plans for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline are met with resistance in Germany! m.bild.de/politik/gehe...

French President Macron will address the nation today at 20:00 (21:00 Kyiv time)

When your president needs to be fact checked when he is giving a speech, you are in big trouble.

Born out of necessity, Ukraine is building one of the most advanced defense industries in the world. Over the past three years, its capacity has grown 35 times, reaching $35 billion. 1/4
