The โ€˜world orderโ€™ didnโ€™t collapse bc Russia invaded Ukraine. It collapsed because the free world chose not to stop them.
By refusing to use our wealth & power to defend even a European democracy, we showed dictators everywhere that aggression pays.
That was the death blow. We did this to ourselves.

US security guarantees under Trump will have zero value. None.

Trump lies constantly & has a decades-long record of breaching contracts. He says he respects no laws beyond his personal โ€˜morality.โ€™

Ukraine must not cede a single inch to US-RU pressure & Europe must back them up.

Trump is trying to give Russia exactly what they want & call it a โ€˜peace deal.โ€™ Itโ€™s in fact a guarantee for a bigger war.
Donbas is Ukraineโ€™s main line of defense. The region is heavily fortified & holds Russia back from attacking the rest of Ukraine, & from there the EU.

The media are fixated on the Trump Administrationโ€™s fascist rhetoric & bloody repression.
Europeโ€™s leaders must focus on what would actually weaken fascists: Defend Ukraine. Free Iran. Dismantle the Russian war machine and the global networks propping it up.

When Europe shows its true strength, dictators back down.
Apply this lesson to Russia.

For the jillionth time: what, exactly, is the Coalition of the Willing willing to do to force Russia to accept a ceasefire in Ukraine?

You cannot cheer Americaโ€™s illegal attack on Venezuela while condemning Russiaโ€™s invasion of Ukraine and Chinaโ€™s threats against Taiwan. Selective application of international law means no rule of law.

Vague threats to a few key officials must not be allowed to dictate European security. Moscow is laughing that we make it so easy for them. Step up Belgium.

Istanbul. Alaska. Geneva. Results? Nothing.
Why? Because:
Russia doesnโ€™t want peace.
Team Trump wants business deals.
Europe refuses to shape events in Europe.

Berlin will be no different.

Trump is in Putinโ€™s pocket.
Putin is in Xiโ€™s pocket.
Republicans and Democrats alike should be able to agree: thatโ€™s bad for America.

Prunk, Pathos, Patriotismus: Der tschetschenische Krieger der AfD In Hannover stellt sich ein AfD-Mann als patriotischer Macher dar, gleichzeitig unterhรคlt er Beziehungen nach Tschetschenien. Was hat er in Deutschland vor?

Er ist einer der reichweitenstรคrksten AfD-Leute: Noah Krieger.

Wir von @correctiv.org haben uns angeschaut, was er so macht. Und siehe da: Der Mann unterhรคlt Kontakte zu โ€žPutins Bluthundโ€œ.

Something has changed. A side of America that most Europeans never encountered face to face is now in charge. Europe had a decade of warnings and the first Trump Administration to prepare for this. We chose not to.
To meet this moment and secure our future, we must also change.

Merz throws his full weight behind the EU & Belgium to share the risk burden & is going to Brussels to press @Bart_DeWever to let Europe use frozen Russian assets for Ukraineโ€™s defense.
Itโ€™s refreshing to see a ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช@bundeskanzler step up, even if Belgium seems unlikely to budge.

If Belgian PM de Wever believes this, just imagine how heโ€™ll react when Russia attacks the EU:
โ€œBut who really believes Russia will lose in Ukraine? Itโ€™s a fableโ€ฆItโ€™s not even desirable for them to lose & for instability to take hold in a country (with) nuclear weapons.โ€

Putin: โ€˜Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.โ€™

Western politicians & press: โ€˜Peace talks have stalledโ€ฆโ€™

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender โ€˜peace talksโ€™ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.
