Putin really scored an own goal if Europe pushes through. He dangled the 100 billion in front of Witkoff like a gold plated carrot. This turns out to be the catalyst Europe needed to pull up their big boy pants and put their internal objections aside…

🧵 I was asked about the National Security Strategy by a European journalist. Here is my reply:

You should not treat this like a traditional National Security Strategy. It’s a fascist tirade, parts of which might as well have been generated by prompting chatgpt.

Does it “mean” anything?

Why should Europeans stop governing how services and products are placed on their market?

America would never give up its regulatory sovereignty.

De FIFA-peace-prize voor Donald Trump: schaamteloos, kinderachtig en knullig tegelijk. Om nog te zwijgen over de hypocrisie. Wat een gigantische komedie.

I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

Can’t decide who this is worse for, the EU or the UK. But the real looser, of course, is European defence. So all of us.

This peace deal only has 3 steps.
1. Russia gets the land
2. Trump gets a bribe
3. Ukraine gets an empty promise

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

May this be the end of European delusion, the end of self-humiliation and useless flattery. May this be the moment in which Europeans muster just a fraction of the courage that fellow European Ukrainians have demonstrated so far. #StandwithUkraine #EuropeAlone

We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.
Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

And there it is… Ukraine will receive JAS-39 Gripen! Better late than never, I guess. The fighter that was always by far the closest fit to the Ukrainian Air Force’s operational needs is at long last officially on its way (timeline TBC for obvious reasons).
