A truly vile decision, giving the lie to all Trump’s claims that he is horrified by the killing in Ukraine. Apparently he’s fine with the Russians doing the killing, but is determined to stop Ukraine striking back. Europe must wake up to how serious this is, not just for UA but for its own security.

1. European and UK ministers are still talking as if their biggest potential security problem is a withdrawal of US support. But that is not their biggest potential security problem. It’s that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. 🧵

🇩🇰 Denmark today increases the defence budget with 50bn DKK (6.7bn EUR) plus 10bn DKK (1.3bn EUR) extra per year until 2033 going 2.4% of GDP in 2024 to 3.2% in 2025. As discussed probably 50bn more is needed for acquisition.

Everybody still talking about ceasefire, peace deal or whatever. Come on, it's over for now as the US is not going to apply pressure on russia and will pull support from Ukraine. Only huge European supply can help Ukraine to fight russia into exhaustion. 1/2

kansankokonaisuus.blogspot.com/2025/02/saud... Kun Trump ja Putin kohtaavat Saudeissa, kokouksessa ei puhuta vain Ukrainan ja Euroopan pään yli Ukrainasta vaan todennäköisesti myös Puolan, Suomen ja Baltian pään yli Puolasta, Suomesta ja Baltiasta. Väite ei ole minun vaan New York Timesin.

Wise move by Ze to rephrase the problem in language that Trump understands and might care about-- who's going to make money and how much. Clearly, the mlns of Ukrainians who are denied basic freedoms in russia's dictatorship or the precedent of allowing conquest to stand are of no concern to Trump.

HS: Wikipedia syntyi internetin alkuvuosikymmenen idealistisista visioista. Ironista on, että sama teknologiakulttuuri toimi Muskin, Zuckerbergin, Bezosin ... kasvualustana. Nyt he ovat kuin onnellisen puutarhan villiintyneitä ahneusmutaatioita, jotka myötäilevät Trumpin politiikkaa oman edun takia.
