just learning now that a small town near where my family is from in poland proclaimed itself an independent socialist republic for a few months as WWI fizzled in 1918; how many of those *were* there in europe at the time?
LEAKED: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Zelensky during a now leaked call:
“You need to be extremely careful in the coming days.
They [the Americans] are playing games, both with you and with us.”
Other leaders echoed alarm:
Macron: The U.S. might “betray Ukraine on the issue of territory”
Stubb: “We must not leave Ukraine—or Volodymyr—alone with these guys.”
Rutte: “We have to protect Volodymyr.”
