The U.S. State Department really crossed the line this time. I expect reciprocal measures against those behind this blatant affront to EU sovereignty. With friends like these who needs enemies.
Well said @ec.europa.eu

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

News Analysis: President Trump's decision to send a high-powered U.S. delegation to Greenland, apparently uninvited, is already backfiring. Greenland has blasted him as “aggressive” and asked Europe for backup, and the visit is strengthening bonds between Greenland and Denmark.
Trump’s Moves on Greenland Appear to Be Backfiring
The Greenlandic government is calling an upcoming visit by Trump officials “aggressive,” pushing the island further from the United States.

A few days ago, I was thinking of America and the idea of Europe. Vance and Hegseth touched on this same exact matter in their recent notorious online conversation, so might as well post my thoughts here.
So, a thread follows. I'm no Americanist; this is mostly just thinking out loud.

Now would be a good time for some concrete actions. Like seizing the frozen Russian assets and handing them over to Ukraine.
Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Stand with Ukraine!
Ukraine is not alone.
Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours.

A reminder for us all. The current admin is prepared to extort with everything they got. As a staunch transatlantist this makes me incredibly sad, but it has become evident that the US is no longer a trustworthy ally. And once gone, the process to rebuild trust is very slow. 1/
⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters.
The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

Katsotaanpas näitä Purran sanomisia tarkemmin. Tämän haastattelun pohjalta valtiovarainministeri puhuu osittain järkeä ja osittain missaa pointin kokonaan. Mutta eniten olen huolestunut siitä, että tästä puuttuu käsitys tilanteen kiireellisyydestä ja EU:n aloitteellisuuden tärkeydestä. 1/19

Now is the time for EU to ramp up support! #justdoit
Le Monde published an article titled "Without the US, Ukraine Would Barely Last Six Months Against Russia." My readers know that I have been accurate in most of my frontline assessments, to the point that some call me a pessimist, so it's hard to accuse me of painting a rosy picture for Ukraine
