With the uncertainty and arbitrariness of Trump's tariff decisions - we asked some of the best experts on the issue what should the EU do:. Shld it retaliate forcefully?.Shld it resign itself to 10% baseline and try to minimize the additional sectorals?.

Issue is military aid to Ukraine isn’t part of a strategy with a theory of victory by either the U.S. or Europeans - as I wrote in my piece this week:.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has resumed sending some weapons to Ukraine a week after Pentagon pause, US officials say.

Current support for Ukraine isn’t strategic or part of a theory of victory that ends the war decisively or w/a sustainable settlement. Instead, it is a stream of support that drains Western strained resources, just enough to keep Ukraine on life support.

Who cld have possibly predicted this!.
💥#Breaking: The Doha ceasefire/hostage negotiations have stalled over Israeli DefMin Katz's idea, floated yesterday, to "concentrate" all Gazans in a tent camp "humanitarian city" in the southern Gaza Strip, just in time to throw a timely wrench into the talks, per @EliorLevy.

This wld be funny if Iran's enterprise across the Arab world (from GCC to Syria) hasn't been as criminal and bloody. What are Iran-backed militias in Lebanon or Iraq but invasion-through-other-means w/direct C&C from IRGC? Iran was just smarter than the US in its invasions.
Should we be afraid of Iran, Carlson asks Pezeshkian. (A high school interview would be more exacting.) Pezeshkian claims Iran hasn't invaded another country in 200 years ago. He claims when people say 'Death to America,' it has nothing to do with people or even US officials -11-.

UKR FM "Security in Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific is inextricably linked. This is not an attention competition. We urge the US and intl community to increase pressure on both Moscow as well as everyone ard the world who supports RUS's war effort".
What an irony. Following tonight's massive Russian air attack on Ukraine, we discovered in Kyiv a component of a Russian-Iranian "Shahed-136"/"Geran-2" combat drone, which was made in China and supplied just recently. And right on the eve, the Chinese Consulate General's

The Europeans who have been in denial about the extent of the China's support enabling Russia to continue prosecuting its war on UKR. The US "reverse Kissinger". It's been 3yrs of visionary, effective diplomacy and geopolitical deterrence all-around from the "western camp". .
Remember the « China is embarrassed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine » and « we should separate Russia from China » lines?

Trump is *maybe* having a call with Zelensky "on Friday or the coming days". Nothing pressing!.
What Kyiv endured last night, cannot be called anything but a deliberate act of terror. A sustained, 7 hour coordinated attack—over 550 drones and ballistic missiles launched onto the people of Kyiv, families running into metro stations, basements, underground parking garages,

As far as I can tell Trump has not spoken to Zelensky since the Pentagon decision to halt deliveries of air defense munitions, but he has spoken to Putin who refused a ceasefire again but agreed to promote together traditional values, if the RUS readout is truthful. Logical.
Putin and Trump had a call, again. Per Russian readout, Trump called for a ceasefire, Putin said Russia first needs to achieve the goals of the “special military operation,” Trump didn’t object and then they talked about cooperation in promoting “traditional values” in movies.

Zelensky must be the world’s loneliest man. In a few years, it will be fascinating to have a candid no holds-barred discussion with him to hear what he really thought of his counterparts and their words in these moments. And where he find the strength to keep going.
Zelenskyy: We count on U.S. support, especially for arms Europe can’t provide — Patriot PAC-3, critical for air defense. We also rely on expanding Ukraine’s own production and need more funding for it, which was discussed today. 3/
