Ein Freund aus dem Osten, zur Frage, was 35 Jahre ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Einheit ihm bedeuten:
โ€žEs war keine Wiedervereinigung. Es war eine รœbernahme.โ€œ
Meine Antwort auf die gleiche Frage:
โ€žWir dachten, der Kalte Krieg sei vorbei. Heute kรคmpfen wir noch den russischen Rest des 2. Weltkriegs.โ€œ

Dear Deutschland,
If current laws donโ€™t let us shoot down drones that violate our airspace, then
1. Change the laws
2. Shoot the drones

Trump and Hegsethโ€™s mad display today demoralized American military leaders and delighted Americaโ€˜s enemies.

What Russia does everyday to Ukraine. What Russia will do across Europe if we donโ€™t stop them in Ukraine.

Without Hungary, the EU drone wall would be a Maginot Line in the sky.

A drone wall is a military capacity, not a defense strategy. Above all we need to deter Russia from violating EU airspace in the first place and break their war economy. Hit the archer, not just the arrows.

A Russian military reconnaissance aircraft was intercepted over the Baltic Sea today by the German Air Force.

Because of course. Our nothing response on Friday guaranteed they would do it again. Russia will not stop until we stop them.

Time Russian jets allowed in Turkish airspace before getting shot down: 17 seconds
Time Russian jets allowed in EU airspace before angry press release: 12 minutes
โ€œQuick and decisiveโ€ indeed.

First NATO refused to defend Ukraineโ€™s skies. Now we refuse to defend our own.

Turkey already demonstrated the most effective response to Russian violations of NATO airspace 10 years ago: Warn them off, and if they ignore the warning, shoot them down.
Do nothing and Russia will keep coming. Hit back and they back down. The choice is ours. #Article4 #Estonia

Thanks to Ukrainian strikes, Russia has lost 20% refinery capacity so far. At 50% theyโ€™ll have difficulties supplying the front.
Ukraine is taking on Moscowโ€™s economic war machine. Europe can do the same: Take down the shadow fleet in the Baltic & stop buying all Russian energy.

Dear Europe: Less talk about an American backstop, more actual stop Russia please.

Lack of serious consequences for Russia for such a serious escalation will be interpreted by the Kremlin as weakness and encourage them to escalate further

Russian drones hitting Poland arenโ€™t a mistake. Theyโ€™re a test, and NATO failed it. Expect more.

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasnโ€™t an โ€œincursion of drones.โ€ Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldnโ€™t โ€œcondemn it.โ€ We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldnโ€™t โ€œcall on Russiaโ€ to stop. We should stop them.

Europeโ€™s three year โ€œstrategyโ€ of too little, too late directly enabled todayโ€™s attack. Our weakness drives Russian escalation.

Promising Ukraine security guarantees only after a ceasefire is like promising water to someone dying of thirst in the Sahara only after it rains.

I welcome todayโ€˜s show of support in Paris. However the hard truth remains:
As long as the Coalition of the Willing insists they will only act after a ceasefire, they guarantee Russia will never accept a ceasefire.

04.09.2025 17:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 315    ๐Ÿ” 87    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 12    ๐Ÿ“Œ 6

Europe: Watch it Russia! Once you agree to a ceasefire weโ€™ll arm Ukraine to the teeth & send air support & troops to keep the peace

Russia: Cool thanks for the heads up. Weโ€™ll escalate the killing now then & ensure no ceasefire ever happens so we can keep destroying Ukraine undisturbed ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Merz says again that no troops would deploy to Ukraine until a ceasefire, & even then only with reservations.
@bundeskanzler thinks heโ€™s reassuring his voters, but heโ€™s actually reassuring the Kremlin: You have nothing to fear as long as you keep the war going. We wonโ€™t stop you.

What are Europeans willing to do to bring about the day when peace is signed?

Until Europeans answer that question and act on it, theoretical future security guarantees are meaningless and actively incentivize Russia to ensure no peace deal ever comes about.

Russia considers Ukraine in NATO unacceptable.
Ukraine considers Russian interference, troops, tanks, drones, missiles, and mines in countries that are not Russia unacceptable.
