🇺🇸 throwing Ukraine under the bus. This shows how pointless 🇪🇺’s bootlicking of Trump was. West should have supported Ukraine more decisively (also Biden & Scholz to blame here). Europe still can and must, its security is on the line, too. But this will have a steep price now (at least economically).

Ukrainekrieg: Wadephul schließt Stationierung deutscher Soldaten in der Ukraine aus
Der Außenminister sieht eine wichtige Rolle Deutschlands bei der Friedenssicherung in der Ukraine. Die Bundeswehr werde sich aber auf Nato-Territorium konzentrieren.
Das Ganze ist zwar ohnehin eine Geisterdebatte, weil die Stationierung von Friedenstruppen derzeit völlig unrealistisch ist. Aber dass Deutschland mit 2x~5000 Soldaten (in Litauen und dann Ukraine) überfordert wäre, sagt einiges über den Zustand der Bundeswehr.

Entlang des Entwurfs des Bundeshaushaltsgesetzes 2025 sollen die Deutsch-Amerikanischen Zentren um 45 Prozent gekürzt werden. Das trifft die transatlantische Bildungsarbeit ins Mark und gefährdet wichtige Demokratieförderung in der breiten Gesellschaft in Deutschland.

What exactly would US security guarantees for Ukraine be worth under an unreliably and volatile Trump adminstration? The continued attempt to entice Trump to commit to European security ignores the realities of Trump’s policies and the necessity of more European responsibility.

Teile deine Einschätzung. Wenn es aber stimmt, dass (wie die NYT berichtet) das Programm nur um wenige Monate verzögert wurde, kann man sehr wohl die ganze Aktion für ein gefährliches va banque Spiel halten bzw. Kosten/Nutzen-Kalkül in Frage stellen.

So this “peace plan” by Trump for Russia’s war is: give the aggressor what he wants, Ukraine gets nothing from US, Europe can pay to rebuild the country and organize a peacekeeping force (which Russia won’t accept, but we don’t care, because we obviously solved the conflict 🤡🤦♂️).

Exactly! And the Trump admin not only targets minorities but already contemplates over sending “homegrown criminals” - of course without due process - to foreign prisons as well.

Many thanks for this analysis! In your view, what are the chances Republicans can agree on this sweeping reform and overcome internal divisions to pass the bill?

Trump Launches Trade War With Penguins, Not Putin
Donald Trump’s new global trade war declaration will place tariffs on America’s economic allies and Arctic waterfowl, but not Russia.
100%: „While broad, Trump’s tariff power is not absolute, and limited by the legislative branch. The GOP-run Congress (…) could put an end to this madness at any time. If only it had a spine.“
Whole charade would be hilarious if not for the dire consequences…
