Trump is selling the US out in exchange for a ghost, a propaganda caricature of a past that never existed.

Percentage of Global GDP

1980
US - 26%
RUSSIA (USSR) - 10%

2025
US - 25%
RUSSIA - 1.90%

In addition, Russia's GDP is only 6% that of the US and 7% of the EU.

But this is not true!

The United States did not send $350B to Ukraine. They sent $114B

The EU did not send $100B to Ukraine. They sent $132B.

I feel like here in Europe, the sense of betrayal must be hitting the hardest in London and Warsaw. Without a doubt, Britain and Poland were America's most loyal and dedicated allies in Europe.
Our government has taken the position of little brother since the second world war to the Yanks and it's lead us to being tied at the hip in conflicts like Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and the moment we need help, it's always been a case of "eh maybe if you pay us enough".

Ukrainian cities will be even less safe now that U.S air defence missiles will soon be gone. During WW2 Britain evacuated urban populations into the countryside. I am sure we can provide similar services to Ukrainian women and children.

Whatever it is that Trump may be getting out of a deal with Putin, we must make sure to burn it to the ground.

🧵The intersection of the Musk & Putin agendas are coming into focus. Here's what I think is happening. I hope I'm wrong.

Key to understand:

1. Trump=POTUS in Name Only (PINO), while Musk runs the US day to day.

2. Musk & Putin put T in office; many of his actions now are repayment of that debt.

Fantastic.
🇩🇰 Denmark will officially reopen the Ammunitionsarsenalet AMA ammunition plant in North Jutland, with the Norwegian-Finnish defence giant Nammo running the 350-year-old facility.

The Danish government will rush to get production lines running as soon as possible.

The shared experience of taking the night train from Lviv to Kyiv is an underestimated factor in building the close relationships between EU, UK, Ukrainan, Turkish and Norwegian leaders that underpin shared efforts towards European strategic autonomy
