Here we go!

Thursdayā€™s front page of the British Daily Star. Putinā€™s Poodle

Friends, We must focus on remaining emotionally sturdy and supporting #Ukraine. There's a lot of work ahead of us.

No more bullshit - vi trenger lederskap og resolutte beslutninger. šŸ§µ1/19

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ¤” Michael McFaul: "Trump's team allegedly has offered Putin (1) Ukrainian territory, (2) no NATO membership for Ukraine, (3) no US soldiers in Ukraine, (4) the withdrawal of US soldiers from Europe, including from frontline states, and (5) sanctions relief. Putin's return offer -- nothing."

In todayā€™s Vatnik Soup, Iā€™ll introduce how the Elon Muskā€™s Election Interference Machineā„¢ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, theyā€™ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania. 1/23

Elon Musk has never criticized the russians for slaughtering innocent Ukrainians for three years, but now he is openly praising the russian leadership. He has waited a long time to do this, but as a lackey of the first dictator of the USA, he can get away with anything.

Canada should ask the Trump administration to repay Canada in mineral resources for its participation in the Afghanistan war and the loss of over a hundred servicemembers. The payment is due.

Cool, Putin gets premium treatment as a revered dear partner as well as everything he has stolen and even much more -- Ukraine gets a spit in the face, an extorted $500 billion bill, no security guarantees, and a new Russian offensive to kill it as soon as Russia is ready. The Art of the Deal.

šŸ‡©šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ Scholz: "We will not allow anyone... to agree on the demilitarization of Ukraine. On the contrary, it needs a very strong army so that if a peace agreement is reached, no one attacks it again."

So far, Trumpā€™s art of the deal is to give Russia whatever it wants in advance while asking for nothing from Putin. At the same time, he has tried to extort Ukraine for mineral rights. Once again, he seems not to know or care who Americaā€™s allies and enemies are.

BBCā€™s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vanceā€™s speech at the Munich conference ā€œhas gone down well in Moscow.ā€ That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

Iā€™m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vanceā€™s speech. OK: In Vance English ā€œfree speechā€ means ā€œLet Musk run your electionsā€ and ā€œdemocracyā€ means ā€œlet Russia run your elections.ā€ Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. Thereā€™s no time to lose.

We are living through a historic moment not only for #Ukraine, but for all of Europe. Right now, our future is being decided for decades in advance Europe needs to wake up. There will be no "later". Later will be already too late. Don't wait. Act! A strong Ukraine = peace in Europe.

Our European politicians are still whining because the USA has filed for divorce. Meanwhile, Chinese companies have entered the occupied territories of Ukraine, have already opened production facilities for mining and are robbing Ukraine, ā€” NV

If United Europe has a leader -- not yet another mediocre politician trying to secure some cheap ad hoc political scores but a true historic leader capable of leading -- now is the time to speak up.

You can go as far as to add Article 15 to the 1949 North Atlantic Treaty, which would say, "Ukraine will absolutely never, ever, ever, ever join NATO under any circumstances because Putin wants that," and Russia will still not leave Ukraine alone and will not stop the war. Guess why.

The headlines out of Munich this weekend need to be about European action, not American appeasement. Trump and Putin will only respond to strength. Europe needs to show it, now: Announce serious new military aid, major new sanctions, real enforcement of existing ones, & #MakeRussiaPay

A short thread summarising my new article on the current White House approach to ā€˜peaceā€™ in Ukraine. 1/9 mickryan.substack.com/p/articles-o...

"the assumption that a cease-fire will end Russiaā€™s primary threat to Ukrainians misunderstands the nature of the conflict" From Nataliya Gumenyuk. A warning www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/puti...

'Surrender & betrayal' ā€” US, EU officials condemn Trump, Hegseth's comments on Ukraine peace negotiations. Senator Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, wrote: "Today, President Trump called our enemy, Russia, before calling our ally, Ukraine."

Youā€™ll get quite far in politics if you can take credit for the sun rising each day and blame your opponents for the sun going down.
