Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Since WWII, Washington has been the most important capital for European security. That has now come to an end. For both the US and Europe, the end of transatlantic unity is a major security policy defeat. For Russia and President Putin it is a huge victory. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

If (big if) Europe pulls off rearmament, it will be worse for Russian security to deal with many heavily-armed states, including several directly bordering it, than to engage with with one superpower that keeps most of its capabilities at a distance.

The US is pushing Ukraine to kill a UN resolution marking the anniversary of Russia's invasion. Imagine the outcry - which would be fully justified - if this was China. After 3 yrs of asking Beijing to use its influence on Putin, the US is now actively backing him www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Her call with Donald Trump was called "horrendous" in January, when Trump demanded Denmark give up control of Greenland. In her first interview since the call, Danish PM Mette Frederiksen told me about Trump, NATO and Ukraine: "The world is on speed." time.com/7259818/excl...

It means Europe must move away from all American enablers. Including GPS. The mind boggles. The scale of change required is very large. But it must be done.

Europe can fairly easily replace American military support for Ukraine, but it will require massive investments to replace U.S. in NATO. Interesting assessments from @kiel.institute. www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Da...

Sanna Marin throwing some impressive shade here: ”To start, Europe must rid itself of the dangerous illusion that it is weak—and stop acting like it. There is no trade-off between investing in the defence of Europe as a whole and investing in the defence of Ukraine—they are one and the same.”

John with a powerful sally for Europes liberal order. Europe has all the resources to rapidly rearm and stand on its own two feet - the urgency could not be greater as the US abandons NATO. Will EU leaders please stand up.

Det skal nytænkes i det danske forsvar, og så skal vi bruge pengene godt - på europæiske våbensystemer og ikke lægge dem hos lande, der truer os eller er i gang med at udrydde andre befolkningsgrupper.

Not the least surprising after recent days. The EU, UK and Ukraine need to check every dependency on the US in Ukraine's defence - military, intelligence, economic, tech - to see where they have the ability to say no to US pressure. I fear the answers will not be pretty, but important.

Giorgia Meloni may be Musk’s personal friend, but even she has to see that investing in Starlink isn’t smart

It may well be that Trump’s plan has all along been to broker an unacceptably bad deal, so that when Ukraine rejects it with Europe’s support, Trump can say Europe rejected peace and wash his hands off the war and Europe. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is Ukraine’s continued existence.

Trump has always been told that he polled highest in “the economy”, and now that is failing him. He thinks that removing sanctions and cooperating with Russia will help this because “more deals = better economy”.

You know, J.D. Vance wasn't there to inform the defenders of Kyiv in 2022 that Ukraine couldn’t win, so they fought bravely and fiercely and eventually defeated the Russian onslaught to take the Ukrainan capital, thus totally derailing Putin's blitzkrieg.

I think people are missing the reality of the growing US-Russian alliance under Putin and Trump. Its not going to force a ceasefire on Ukraine, it will be to help Russia try to win the war. The US is now an active enemy of freedom.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Seems that there might be a worthwhile opportunity to discuss the #defense strategies of small countries next to predatory, imperialist neighbors. We have quite different war aims and therefore also requirements compared to the militaries of the Great Powers. bsky.app/profile/jmko...
