Truth!
Chomsky: Greenland is clearly in US sphere of influence. Denmark should trade land for peace
Mearsheimer: Great powers always ruthlessly pursue their own interests. Denmark should be pragmatic
Varoufakis: Denmark's aggressive joining of EU provoked Trump. It's their own fault.

French and German foreign ministers are travelling together to Syria today.
Aujourd’hui, je me rends à Damas avec @abaerbock.diplo.de.

Ensemble, la France et l’Allemagne se tiennent aux côtés du peuple syrien, dans toute sa diversité.

En Syrie, nous voulons favoriser une transition pacifique et exigeante au service des Syriens et pour la stabilité régionale.

Plans for an even close German-Dutch defence cooperation. It’s quite interesting *just how closely* the two countries are working together on defence (and how few ppl realise they do). Worth looking into if you’re interested in European defence coop.

The German ZEIT has published an *absolutely scathing* report on the German political failure around the Afghanistan withdrawal. The journalists went to heaps of internal docs and mails, showing how almost all parts of the German secdef apparatus failed.

Zum NYT Artikel über #Putins „Verhandlungsbereitschaft“ schreibt Institute for the Study of War: noch ein Versuch, westl. Militärhilfe für #Ukraine, nicht aber den Krieg zu beenden. Den will 🇷🇺 weiter gewinnen.

Habe viel über Verhandlungen geforscht und dem nichts hinzuzufügen.
Timing of #Putin’s reported interest in ceasefire (NYT) is more consistent with 🇷🇺’s ongoing efforts to end Western military assistance to #Ukraine, than with his interest in ending the war other than with a full 🇷🇺 victory.

No further comment.👇

Germany is the envy of the rich world because it has room to borrow. Its public debts are about 65% of gdp, compared with an average of 90% across the oecd club of mostly rich countries ... after decades of neglect, its infrastructure desperately needs refreshing.

For the umpteenth time:
1 stop talking about negotiations with Russia;
2 the implication is that Ukraine cannot reclaim all its territories: unacceptable under international law and means more atrocities committed by Russian occupying forces;
3 Russia must be defeated in Ukraine.
No halfway.
Period.
Major issue in NATO's Stoltenberg's statement (via
Le Monde)
Says up to Ukraine "to decide what is acceptable to end the war".
"Our responsibility is to support Ukraine and enable it to liberate as much territory as possible and put it in the best possible situation, when or if negotiations begin".
