We are the Europeans. Let us live up to this heritage. Let us stop hoping that the rest of the world will solve our problems for us. Let us forge our own destiny. So that our children will remember our generation as those who passed on a Europe that was free, safe and strong.

European summitry next week needs to get real. Time for Eurobonds, move on frozen Russian assets, and what Europe really needs is a rapid Draghi-like plan to reorganize itself on defense.

Okay, I went there. It's time to reconsider a European army. I outline what it could look like. Hint: It doesn't replace Europe's big militaries but serves as a pan-Euro compliment. I sketch out some ideas what it could look like. It is time for some out of box thinking. www.csis.org/analysis/why...

Well, as America implodes from within, it’d be a great time for the EU to finally do official Eurobonds. It’d likely be very attractive as a safe haven given the destruction of US hegemony & spillover to US T-bills. Bonus: Eurobonds can finance a desperately needed European security build up! 🇪🇺💶 ‼️

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Why do we need a strong 🇪🇺🇺🇦 alliance? Because of this 👇 - Scenario 1 (without alliance): 🇷🇺 can attack 🇪🇺 by concentrating all its forces in the north. - Scenario 2 (with alliance): if 🇷🇺 attacks in the north, 🇺🇦 can attack in the south ➡️ 🇷🇺 has to fight on 2 fronts.

Rubio explains the rationale behind 🇺🇸🇷🇺 rapprochement : “Having a situation where 🇷🇺 are permanently a junior partner to 🇨🇳, having to do whatever 🇨🇳 says to do because they are dependent on them, I don’t think that’s a good outcome” 👉 #ReverseKissinger www.breitbart.com/politics/202...

“Si un jour la Russie attaque l’UE au nord, il ne faudrait pas qu’elle puisse profiter de la neutralité de l’Ukraine au sud pour concentrer ses forces. Autrement dit, dans un contexte de désengagement américain, l’Europe a autant besoin du soutien militaire ukrainien que l’inverse.”

Les 🇫🇷 divisés sur l'envoi de troupes en 🇺🇦. 👉Il ne s'agit pas seulement de dissuader une nouvelle agression 🇷🇺 en 🇺🇦, mais aussi de s'assurer que, le jour où NOUS serons attaqués, nous ayons à nos cotés l'un des peuples les plus courageux, et combatif du 🌍.

As it happens, Trump has gone so far off the cliff that Europe isn’t divided but closing ranks. I figured that it’ll become politically difficult for European politicians to try and suck up to him because electorates see what Trump is doing and are very angry. But it’s even better than expected:

Sur le nucléaire je disais l’année dernière que la doctrine 🇫🇷 pourrait affirmer plus clairement sa vocation 🇪🇺. Avec le désengagement 🇺🇸 notre seule garantie de sécurité est l’unité indestructible entre Européens. Si 🇪🇺 est attaquée, 🇫🇷 est attaquée. www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

Les garanties de sécurité ne servent pas qu’à protéger 🇺🇦. Elles servent aussi à créer un front uni, pour s’assurer que si 🇷🇺 attaque 🇪🇺 au nord, elle ne puisse pas compter sur une 🇺🇦 démoralisée et inactive au sud. 👉🇪🇺 a autant besoin de cette alliance que 🇺🇦.

That can be a good start. But what we need is a real alliance. A common bulwark. With the assurance that Ukraine will never again be alone. And conversely, that if Russia attacks Europe, Ukraine will fight on our side. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

For the millionth time: we need a European Army and we need it now. Not simply more spending. Not simply fiscal rules exceptions. Not simply a military industrial policy. Not just coordination of national capacitirs. We need an Euro Army.

🇺🇸 & 🇷🇺 want to "lay the groundwork for future cooperation on issues of mutual geopolitical interest and historic economic and investment opportunities" 👉 The question is no longer whether 🇺🇸 remains committed to protecting Europe; but whether 🇺🇸 will help 🇷🇺.

Many European governments continue to act as if they could simply refuse to defend Europe without strong 🇺🇸 guarantee. Denial of reality is not a strategy.

The question of sending European troops to Ukraine is the only one that really matters today. It is the only guarantee that can credibly prevent a new 🇷🇺 aggression in the future and firmly anchor 🇺🇦 to 🇪🇺.

#Zelenskyy reopens the #EuropeanArmy debate. Pipe dream? Not so sure. If Europeans have to send a strong & coherent force to 🇺🇦 without #NATO or 🇺🇸 backing, then yes, the simplest and most effective way might be to create an integrated structure. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Non l’Europe n’a pas encore perdu. Si nous sommes capables de donner de vraies garanties de sécurité à 🇺🇦 et ainsi d’intégrer les formidables combativité et inventivité 🇺🇦 à une défense 🇪🇺 renforcée, alors cela comptera bien plus que tous les bouts de papier signés par #Trump.

What strikes me about 🇺🇸 #Hegseth's remarks: - He speaks explicitly of a ‘division of labour’ between Europeans (in Europe) and 🇺🇸 (in Pacific); European security is the task of the ‘European members of NATO’. 👉 European strategic autonomy is now the official position of the 🇺🇸

Yes. 👉 Instead of indulging in the illusion that it is possible to persuade #Trump to become an old-fashioned transatlanticist, we should be working to ensure that the transition to a more European #NATO takes place in a gradual and orderly fashion.

#Yermak : "Putin wants to negotiate the fate of Europe without Europe" Yes and #Trump might as well. Sending 🇪🇺 troops in 🇺🇦 as soon as possible would be the best way to impose ourselves in the debate. #Trump & #Putin only respect strength, not polite requests.
