The US is trajecting towards non-democracy. The rules-based order is fading. Expect wars and the dictate of the strong in a majority of scenarios. Europe must draw a line and defend digital regulations and quantum leap on defence, industry, satellite & AI to secure autonomy.

Europe should establish a no fly zone over all non-contested regions of Ukraine. These are regions that Russia has made no claims to. Russia is not flying jets into these regions today due to the density of AA weapons. European jets could police and shoot down any missiles into this space.

European countries should insist that Ukraine joins NATO. With the U.S. under Trump being unreliable, Europe needs to lock arms with Ukraine. NATO membership for Ukraine is the most effective way to ensure this.

Immoral Trump attacks Zelensky and demands war reparations from the victim of Russian aggression. Now the free world must respond in kind. American tariffs must be met with a doubling response. Europe must now bear the defence of Ukraine alone. No one can claim ignorance and turn a blind eye.

To substantiate my previous tweet, more than 70% of Russia's pre-war material has been destroyed in 3 years of war. What is rolled out now is very old material, with enormous loss of Russian soldiers. To paraphrase Hemmingway; How did Russia loose this war? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.

Russia has lost this war. The magnitude of Ukraine's destruction of Russias pre-war arsenal will eventually be known. Russia does not have the capacity to uphold the intensity for much of 2025. Putin is gambling on a peace settlement with Trump to save him from visibly losing the war of attrition.
