Au point où nous en sommes -- c'est à dire au bord d'une guerre ouverte avec Poutine appuyé par Trump --, être pro-Trump ou pro-Poutine c'est être un traître à la nation.

Washington suspend le partage du renseignement avec l'Ukraine, et rejoint de facto le camp russe.

Les Etats-Unis sont devenus une puissance hostile à l'Europe.

Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term
The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws.

My theory why so many dudes weirdly, viscerally hate Zelenskyy: It’s because he didn’t flee when the tanks rolled into Ukraine. Deep down, bros around the world know they wouldn’t have done the same, so there’s an attempt to tear down the man that reminds them of their own cowardice.

L'Europe, déboussolée par la trahison de Trump, est de nouveau tentée de jouer la carte du rapprochement avec la Chine.
Une carte illusoire et vouée à l'échec, selon Mathieu Duchâtel (Institut Montaigne).

Not the first time but still shocking to hear comments from the US president that echo those from the Kremlin. Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war (Russia invaded) while also wrongly claiming Zelensky has just 4% approval rating (its 52%).

Face à l'"électrochoc" Trump, Macron appelle encore une fois l'Europe à "muscler" sa défense et son économie (interview du Financial Times).

Encore une fois, il a raison.

Mais les membres de l'UE écouteront-il un dirigeant qui s'est atomisé lui-même ?

Hegseth's capitulation to Putin is not only utterly cowardly and daft. It will also encourage China to proceed with its expansionist plans - supposedly the Trump administration's number-one concern.
