Trump gave Europe three weeks to sign off on Ukraine "surrender": MEP
-
I'm pretty sure he's on Ozempic now.
-
I agree, but at least before Trump defending Europe was a common interest of Europe and the USA
-
these billionaires have bunkers in NZ, they arnt staying here incase shit like this happens.
-
Imagine what he'd look like without the make-up.
-
More like
"If you don't vote in an election, you don't prefer one candidate over the other / oppose one candidate!"
Now tell me Harris would've been equally bad...
-
Harris would've been better than trump, but that's not the boon you may think it is.
The problem with biden and harris is they convince the left that a slow loss is winning. It's not. The disparity in wealth continued to grow under biden, just not as fast as it would have under trump.
Until the left can grow some cajones and rescind its rampant consumerism, either politician that wins is a loss for the working class.
-
And yet it would've been far better to choose the slow loss over the immediate loss
-
It's fine if you think that.
-
Some notes:
-
this is not confirmed, but seems credible enough to speculate about
-
regardless of veracity, European defense readiness needs a big boost, and people are working on the instruments that would allow giving that boost
-
another source says that Trump is planning cuts in the US armed forces, to the tune of 8% per year [sources that add "for multiple years" remain hearsay for me]
-
around January 20, I saw a table circulating on social media, describing Trump's intended cuts, and that table did drop about 21 brigades and paused the development of various capabilities (edit: found it)
-
so apparently, the Trump administration intends to lower its defense readiness no matter what, believing it has too much
On this background, not much point negotiating with him. He is framing as an ultimatum what he intends to do anyway. No point getting delayed either.
Just get the framework agreed upon, and quickly start supplying Ukraine with fresh stuff. Ukrainians aren't newbies, for now they have accumulated some small reserves (they knew what to expect under Trump, and Biden's administration pushed the last remains of its assistance out like there was no tomorrow)... but arrival of European assistance must start rapidly increasing within a window of 2..3 months.

To be fair, Mika Aaltola is known in Finland as a noted populist and doomsayer that has a flair for the dramatic. His foreign policy predictions have also been pretty much all wrong since before the start of war in Ukraine.
I'd take anything he says or leaks with a big spoon of salt.
-
Pretty sure Poland is already on course to exceed 5%.
-
Coming soon: "Fuck you for your service."
-
Do it! I dare you! Fuck of from europe! Take all your companies with you!
Dont sell us weapons anymore!Democracie is none negotiatable and we dont negotiate with terrorist acomplices!
-
Tell me why and how russia is winning? Im truely interested
-
Even if we were to agree to those demands, there is no garantie they would actually help in defense of us!
We had to defend them when they called articel 5 but wont do the same for us!
-
Oh they are still here?

Sanctions have largely failed. From personal experience in Russia, I can tell you, the people don't feel like their country is at war. Business is as usual, the goods are still moving, the oil is flowing. The prices do rise quite quick, but it's not like they don't any other time. If anything, it only put a roadblock to opposing views for the people who can't be too arsed to buy a VPN subscription.
-
I've been saying this all the time, but without troops from other countries, Ukraine cannot possibly hold the lines, nevermind fighting back. Russia has 3.5x more population and 9x bigger economy before the war broke out. No amount of aid is going to turn one Ukrainian into four. It's a simple math, and the two above points show exactly that. Anyone who tells that Russia is somehow losing is straight up lying to feed people what they want to hear.

-
Id say having to revert to donkeys and 30+ year old civilian shitboxes is losing for the "2nd greatest army".
-
I really do hope the eu doesn't even negotiate with terrorists.
-
Point is they wouldn't let it happen. They'd stop it by throwing Trump and co under the bus and take their money and power to the next best thing. Which would likely be backing a stupid moderate Democrat and getting things "back to normal" as fast as possible
