@tleilax___ I am thinking about Qatari's defense capabilities. How the fuck did they not intercept 4 missiles launched from Iran in a telegraphed move like hitting Ras Laffan was? Any ideas?
Europe has always supported efforts for a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine.
But for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board.
In this war, there is one aggressor and one victim. So far, we haven't heard of any concessions from Russia's side.
My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓
U.S.-China trade war 2.0 (or is it 3.0?)
President Trump announces 100% tariff on Chinese products over and above current rates. Plus software export controls. But note none are effective for another three weeks. Negotiations?

Iranian cargo ships have been transfering massive amounts of sodium perchlorate, a key material used for solid-fuel ballistic missiles, from China to Bandar Abbas.
US President Donald J. Trump might be seeing through what every European has long seen. Maybe we might be in for a positive change in US approach towards hostile, land-grabbing Russia. Big implications for energies, security, balance of power.. #Gas#TTF
Trump: There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!!
Or President Trump realized that "peace" is not going to happen and will "let Ukraine fight on" by letting them purchase US arms. This is no return to a "friendship" status between US and EU of the past, but still a good day for Europe

Russia has rejected the 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine proposed by the US.
Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign policy advisor, says this would be “nothing other than a temporary breather for Ukrainian troops.”
Yes of course, Trump does not like to have blood on his hands. The media coverage regarding Kursk helped a lot. Lets see how it goes with the ceasefire though 🧐#NotGonnaHappen#TTF#Europeans
Guess which move would benefit the "LNG marketer in-chief" the most? I think that Arctic LNG 2 will not be coming back and other large projects might come under sanctions. Beautiful political & financial move, as Trump likes it. #TTF#DonaldTrump
EUROPEAN GAS: The BIG question being asked over and over right now is whether Russian gas returns to Europe in meaningful volumes post-ceasefire. Equinor sees 35 Bcm/year coming back, while Uniper and RWE today both had views to share. All news available on Platts Connect. #ONGT
