"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-civ...

Trump has been consistent with Zelensky and Ukraine. Consistently blaming the victim and excusing the aggressor.

"Putin saw the Ukraine war as a starting point to Moscow becoming “a dominant military power in all of Europe”." This interview is worth reading.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

💯 Zelensky: Since the beginning of this year, the Russian army has carried out strikes on Ukraine using almost 27,700 aerial bombs, almost 11,200 “Shaheds” and almost 9,000 strike drones of other types, as well as more than 700 missiles, including ballistic ones. This is in less than half a year.

Putin regime asks the US and UK to protect them from the country Russia has been bombing non-stop for 11 years.

For 11 years I have spent a lot of time arguing that the western world must oppose Russian terror and aggression. What amazes me is that opposing Russia is still something that is debated, not universally agreed on. How could we become such miserable cowards?

French pilots of Mirage 2000 have made a demonstration flight over the Black Sea, "drawing" the Ukrainian trident. The route was clearly visible on Flight Radar. Thank you, France! 🇫🇷🇺🇦

It's possible this is the perspective in some capitals, but where I am, the commitment to higher defense spending is not about pleasing Trump. It's a realization that Europe needs rapid rearmament to replace the US in European security.

If the Ukrainians could sneak drones so close to major air bases in a police state such as Russia, what is to prevent the Chinese from doing the same with U.S. air bases? Or the Pakistanis with Indian air bases? Or the North Koreans with South Korean air bases? wapo.st/3Zag72z

I received hundreds of messages: “Now they will bomb you fiercely in retaliation for the successful operation on Russian airbases.” But they forget one thing — we’ve been bombed fiercely for years from those very same airbases. Fragmented perception is a major enemy of strategic thinking.

OTD in 1858 treaty of Aigun was signed, ceding large parts of 🇨🇳 to 🇷🇺. 2 years before 🇷🇺 denied any intention to annex Chinese lands & expand eastwards to Pacific. Once signed 🇷🇺 promised it was the last territorial demand of china. Imagine us lying like that today.

So, basically, you admit to protecting Russia as it murders Ukrainians.

Al sinds zijn campagne in 2015 ligt Trump overhoop met rockers die niet willen dat hij hun werk gebruikt voor zijn bijeenkomsten. Nu is de beurt aan de verstokte Democraat Bruce Springsteen. En dat relletje is opnieuw veelzeggend, schrijft columnist Sjoerd de Jong. buff.ly/h1NX8yV

Without Ukraine, Russia is just a country. With Ukraine, Russia is once again an empire. That is what this war has always been about.

As Trump has no solutions for America, as time goes on he will increasingly lean into destructiveness, revenge and self-victimisation.

youtu.be/OWVPYr9e76Y This is probably the best video by @anderspucknielsen.dk yet. Even when he mostly restates old points he have made before, he is able to bring clarity to the motivations of Putin. You should watch and follow.
