Ok, my first post should be about this:

I love Taiwan, a free independent country full of kind lovely people.
If Europe wants American troops to leave Europe, escalating against America is the right choice.

If Europe wants to keep American troops in Europe, we need to find a strategic balance with America. Agree on new burden sharing, from military to trade affairs.

If Europe would show middle finger to America, then America would show middle finger to Europe.

Europe is existentially dependent on American military to prevent Russian invasion of NATO territory.

Yesterday and today, @_EuropeanValues team worked in Brussels.

We are working with EU and NATO institutions to plan crisis scenarios if the Russian-Chinese tandem attacks Europe.

Previously, theoretical considerations are now quite realistic planning.

Sad, but that is our mission today.

If we as rich EU nations stood with Ukraine:

- European troops would be now deployed inside Ukriane is large numbers

- EU would seize all 300 billion USD of Russian assets to give it to Ukraine to buy weapons

- EU would out sectoral sanctions on China to punish

This really feels late late September 1938.

One country being thrown under the bus and others basically not really taking serious actions to stop the dictator.

That is the only way to sustainable peace.
