Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

I mean OK i guess but like two weeks ago he voted to confirm Hegseth and Gabbard, clearly endorsing trump’s foreign policy agenda. Stirring speeches ring a bit hollow now.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

What is most disturbing about the recent normalization of the far right is that it happens after radicalization, rather than moderation, of the far right. Many far-right parties and politicians are more openly anti-democratic and racist than they ever were.

Yep. The same people who just reassured allies at MSC about the U.S. commitment to the Alliance, Nuclear Sharing, and Strategic Enablers are now about to get fired. I remember thinking: ‘Sounds nice, but this person might be jobless tomorrow.’ And here we are.

The US will be on the losing side of this vote by like 140+ to 5. That’s how all previous Ukraine votes have gone, but the US was on the winning side previously. In the process, it will continue to betray Ukraine, undermine the UN charter’s core principle, and demonstrate its global isolation.
