This is accurate. Russia has succeeded very well in convincing media in Europe and the UK that the conflict is far more one-sided in Russia’s favour than is genuinely the case - and that contributes to the assumption that it should be settled in Russia’s favour sooner rather than later.

Republican Thomas Massie has introduced a bill in Congress to withdraw the US from NATO, calling the alliance a “Cold War relic” and arguing funds should go to US domestic security. The bill, HR 6508, aims to end American membership in NATO. A move that would shake the foundation of Western security

It just keep getting worse.🙁

We need new leadership in Europe

How easy it is to divide us Europeans...

"Kritiker" waren hier Putin und die russische Propaganda. Seit neuestem auch Trump, der auf die russische Propaganda reinfällt und jetzt Druck auf Selenskyj ausübt. Selenskyj ist ohne jegliche Zweifel der legitime Präsident der Ukraine, und das muss auch so dargestellt werden.

When I started making YouTube videos, I did not imagine that I would one day make one with this title. Watch here for my breakdown of the new U.S. National Security Strategy.

Ouch.

Brutal reality hitting slow EU rare earth policy rollout:

Commissioner Sejourne tells NRC: “I was due to travel to Brazil to hold talks about a mine extracting rare earths. 3 days before, we were told that the Americans had come by and bought up all production through to 2030.”

Latest Levada Russia poll: Do you think we should continue military operations or begin peace talks?

26% continue military operations
65% begin peace talks

Biggest gap so far.

Perhaps Trump should ask Putin why he's ignoring what his people want.

Hvad man så måtte mene om Mette Frederiksen, så er det her godt for Danmark. Måske hun kan få en toppost i EU eller lign. og i hvert fald giver det positiv omtale af Danmark og giver os dermed indflydelse.

There's nothing organic about China's emergence as a huge car exporter. This is just the same old mix of mercantilism and industrial policy that always defines China and comes at huge cost to everyone else. Trade barriers are the right answer to this...

Europe Needs A New Union It’s time for a “North-Eastern federation” as a bulwark against Russia.

To believe in the existence of NATO as a real, credible military force to deter Russian aggression against the Baltic states, which Putin sees as a legitimate target, now requires a real suspension of disbelief. Imagine a

Vi får dem næppe nogensinde til hverken at forstå eller erkende det, men samtlige danske politikere og myndigheder, der fortsat bruger X, støtter galskab som dette. De bærer ved deres tilstedeværelse på platformen ved til det amerikanske forsøg på at nedbryde europæisk sammenhængskraft.

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

So... Article 5? “The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all... "

It is with sadness that I note the missing danish signature.

Allies and Rivals - Egmont Institute This is strategy. Trump’s National Security Strategy (NSS), released on 4 December 2025, is bold and concise. One reads it, and one knows what the US wants. One may not […]

"The immediate lesson is this: offering concessions does not work. The supposed trade deal that the EU agreed on with the US on the Turnberry golf course last summer was a shameful surrender. And what did it get us: this NSS."

It seems like the German perception on the nuclear issue has changed quite rapidly. Is it possible/probable that the Germans attitude towards a German nuclear bomb will change as well?

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Imagine conquering the world’s greatest superpower without firing a single shot.

will be seen by future generations as treason to European security.

They will not be deterred by communiqués and carefully balanced Council conclusions. They will be deterred only by a Europe that can decide fast, mobilize at scale, and speak with a single military voice when it must. Not making these, or similar changes,

will always be vulnerable to a hostile Kremlin’s risk-taking. This clearly means more European nuclear states—not polite begging rights. A nuclear armed Poland, Finland, Sweden, or Norway would completely change the calculus for Russia.

arms-control agreements have eroded. Serious analysts now openly debate whether U.S. extended deterrence in Europe will remain credible in a prolonged crisis. A European-led defence architecture that remains entirely dependent on U.S., British, or French political will to employ nuclear weapons

Second, confront the nuclear question honestly.
The non-proliferation system is dead. Biden, Trump, and Putin killed it. Russia uses nuclear threats as cover for conventional aggression; North Korea is entrenched; Iran is close to the threshold;
