Given the direction of stand-off precision-strike warfare we are heading toward, disentangling conventional deterrence from nuclear deterrence will become increasingly difficult.

When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.

‼️Stunning statements by the Belgian Prime Minister at an event in Brussels this week.
🔹It's an illusion that Russia will lose in Ukraine
🔹If they lose, instability is bad because of nuclear weapons
🔹I have been personally threatened by Russia if their assets are seized
Wow.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

This is one of the most important exposés published in WSJ in several years, and it derives from intercepts and analyses by foreign intelligence services studying the conduct of Trump and his inner team. It's first and foremost a wake up call to the people of the United States.

Congress must step in. Trump must be stopped. This would break multiple treaties and violate international law.
Any legal recognition of Russian territorial grabs puts us all in danger. It must be stopped, and if not, reversed by the next administration.

There's only two points to understanding current US–Russia relations.
1. Russia's war began in 1999; Ukraine is only the middle of Putin's plans. He can't move on to the next phase without first mobilizing Ukraine's massive resources and strategic location.

What should have been released in the first place!
Putin will never agree to terms like this while he still thinks he has even a glimmer of a chance of victory. Signing this would be the effective end of Putin’s rule.

Russian MPs are not even trying to hide that Russia has no intention of abiding by any peace agreement.
As I've said before, we're discussing the points of a peace plan without Russia that doesn't care for it and shows no readiness for peace.

This time there must be no running to Washington to change Trump’s mind. No leader or group of leaders should go there. It should be a flat and very simple statement that America, this is none of your business now. It’s our and Ukraine’s security. We will buy from you
