Ukraine is fighting for survival against an attacking neighbor
For 3 years they have been fighting alone as a shield for all of Europe.
The US has stopped all military support for today for Ukraine
and the White House is demanding an apology from the Ukrainian president
even though it was the Ukrainian president who was humiliated on public for the whole world !
The USA and their president are using mafia methods to force the Ukrainians to sign a business agreement on minerals!
This will go down in history books as the United States turning its back on its friends and partners in the time where it was their turn to prove honor and loyalty!

The Kremlin is now talking up the “oppression” of ethnic Russians in the Baltic states - this is traditionally a key warning signal of coming Russian aggression
"The only thing that Russia understands is power. It's the time to be hard, not soft, with Russia."

Rysk attack i Charkiv igår kväll. Det läskiga mopedlika ljudet av shahed-drönare, fotbollsspelare som flyr i panik.
8 människor skadades i denna attack där även bostadshus bombades. Bland de skadade finns en 12-årig flicka.
Och just som jag skriver detta hörs flyglarmet i Kiev.
Denmark helped remove chemical weapons, fought ISIS, and sent young men & women into war — on behalf of the U.S.

Stop calling loyal partners weak.

European stock markets are closed but Monday morning will see a surge of investment in Europe's own defence companies.
It's the best advertisement they have gotten in years.
I hope some of the investment will go to the immensely creative smaller EU companies at the cutting edge today
Hi @HouseGOP@SenateGOP!
What will be left of the separation of powers after this administration, if you do not speak up?
Do you gamble on eternal hold of power, or that Dems will abide by the constitutional rules you allow Trump to break?

The war, the geopolitical uncertainty and the new arms race started by Putin have left Europe with no choice. Europe must be ready for this race, and Russia will lose it like the Soviet Union 40 years ago. From today, Europe will arm itself more wisely and faster than Russia.
Regarding #Ukraine framing matters.
The war started 2014 when Russia invaded and occupied Crimea and parts of the east.
The full scale invasion 2022 expanded the war.
Framed like this, inluding the cease fire agreements broken by Russia, a clear picture gets even clearer.
Trumps unpredicability is a constant and he is untrustworthy. That is a major problem for the US economy.
Which company executive would make a major longterm investment plan in the US during the current mercurial presidential policies?
BREAKING:
The Ukrainian Parliament passes a resolution affirming Zelensky's legitimacy & the constitutionally mandated requirement that keeps him in power throughout the duration of the war due to martial law
268 MPs supported the resolution
225 votes are needed for a majority
