🇺🇸 Letting go. It is very hard to let go. Especially, if what is disappearing is the most successful partnership and alliance between nations in history. The transatlantic “West” was a wonder to behold. Former foes united. NATO: the greatest defensive alliance in history.
Look to 🇨🇦!. To grasp the thread Trump poses, look at US-Canada relations. 🇺🇸 is hostile, aggressive and completely non-transactional. With no cause at all. This means: Europe is on its own. Security strategies that rely on the US are now redundant. Wishful thinking and

Lack of European imagination (again). European weakness on Ukraine and lack of resolve leading to fatal escalations?. Reminder: . - there were 130.000 Isaf troops in the middle of central asia, fighting in Afghanistan. Not around the corner of Europe. -.When France fought to
BREAKING:. Laos will send soldiers to Russia to help them against Ukraine in the Kursk region. The Laotian soldiers are supposed to demine the area and help free up Russian soldiers who will then go to fight in Ukraine itself. Laos has been a communist state since 1975. 🇱🇦🇷🇺

.@realDonaldTrump: „The largest mass deportation operation in history“ has started. There is some competition, but clearly - with an ICE budget bigger than most militaries in the world - he means it. This means: millions, if not tens of millions, deported. Certainly: tens of
Update on „remigration“ in 5 points. 1. Trump ran on the promise to stop all irregular migration, and to return all those who had come in previous years (and more). „Many millions“. 2. He was elected on this promise, twice. It was known in 2024 what we would do in 2025. 3.

Tears and alligators - Rubio and the GOP. How most humans behave depends on the context. The context can make people better; or worse. It makes people fight religious wars; or back fervent communists; or enjoy laid-back Clintonian democracy. This is how the GOP is full of
In honor of Independence Day, here's a video of Marco Rubio crying when Pope Francis called on Americans to respect the dignity of immigrants seeking a better way of life in the United States.

🇺🇦🇪🇺👇.
I don't know how else to reach you, so I'm asking you - maybe they'll hear us this way. Please share these photos. Show them to your politicians. This is the Kyiv metro. Every night, Ukrainians hide here from Russian missiles. Families sleep on the cold floor with their children.

🇺🇦🇩🇪👇@berlin_bridge . Ja.
„Volle Unterstützung“ bedeutet konkrete Unterstützung. Deutschland kann & soll mehr Munitionen & finanzielle Mittel bereitstellen, die #SkyShieldNow Luftverteidigungskoalition unterstützen, & endlich die längst überfälligen #Taurus Langstreckenraketen an die Ukraine liefern.

It will not happen. And: this is not a federal job. It is up to the Länder.
The German Education Ministry is apparently considering introducing quotas for children with "migration background" in schools. . Under the German definition, this would include my Italian-German, UK-born, 3-language speaking child.

Yes. In only six months. 🇺🇸.
They’ve destroyed American medical research, the American education system, the American university research system, and the aid system that protected millions of lives, and they’ve given our anti-immigrant masked paramilitary police force a budget the size of a nation.

„Too bad“
“I’m very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin because I don’t think he’s there, ” Trump said upon his return to Washington from a Thursday night rally in Iowa. “I’m just saying, I don’t think he’s looking to stop, and that’s too bad.”

Policy makers: Think Berlin. Paris. Helsinki. Bucharest. And most urgently: Vilnius, Tallinn, Chisinau. Then act. If Europeans are unable to surprise Putin after such brutality, they can say goodby to deterrence. Trump will not deter Putin. This is not speculation. We see it

There is one incredibly hopeful thing in all of this. Every time after Russian bombings of Ukrainian cities, particularly Kyiv, in the morning, you see shop windows, cafes, pizzerias, restaurants, and delivery services shattered by debris and shockwaves -- and yet there is.
