The speed at which European “patriots” are selling out a country trying to like Greenland is so telling. Patriotism for extreme right “patriotic parties” like AfD or Reform usually means bowing to Trump and Putin simultaneously- not self-determination.

[Fiede Schillmoeller @fiede]

Trump isn’t just selling out Ukraine, he is selling out Europe. And we only have ourselves to blame.

[Fiede Schillmoeller @fiede]

If you still hope that senators are going to stop this mad bill, you are delusional. As expected, Trump’s approval ratings amongst conservatives are at a record high, which is typical for authoritarian takeovers of democracies. He’s winning, and Democrats lack urgency & vision.

Our military has captured two Chinese citizens who were fighting as part of the Russian army. This happened on Ukrainian territory—in the Donetsk region. Identification documents, bank cards, and personal data were found in their possession.

We have information suggesting that there are many more Chinese citizens in the occupier's units than just these two. We are currently verifying all the facts—intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the relevant units of the Armed Forces are working on it.

I have instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to immediately contact Beijing and clarify how China intends to respond to this.

Russia's involvement of China, along with other countries, whether directly or indirectly, in this war in Europe is a clear signal that Putin intends to do anything but end the war. He is looking for ways to continue fighting. This definitely requires a response. A response from the United States, Europe, and all those around the world who want peace.

The captured Chinese citizens are now in the custody of the Security Service of Ukraine.

Relevant investigative and operational actions are ongoing.

For American companies selling globally, the Trump tariffs make it a lot less attractive to manufacture in the US. The is act of self-sabotage is just wild.

[MrBeast @MrBeast]

Ironically because of all the new tariffs it is now way cheaper to make our chocolate bars we sell globally NOT in America because other countries don’t have a 20%+ tariff on our cogs 😅

De VVD liet in 2023 een goedlopend kabinet vallen met een nareis-leugen tijdens een oorlog op 2,5 uur vliegen hiervandaan. Nu zadelen ze ons op met een groep kleuters die het nergens over eens kan worden en onhaalbare voorstellen doet om de besluiteloosheid te maskeren.

“Biologisch geslacht” is opnieuw “hot topic”. Men stelt het super simpel voor. Als bioloog juich ik dit toe! Waarom moeilijk doen, als het ook gemakkelijk kan en biologie is iets wat veel mensen interessant vinden en willen begrijpen, dus een draadje ingezoomd op geslacht. 1/14

Nederland liep altijd voorop in Europese samenwerking. Maar PVV, NSC en BBB plaatsen ons nu in een isolement.

In tijden van crisis, waarbij heel Europa in actie komt om ons continent te beschermen, kiest Nederland ervoor om dwars te liggen. Zelfs Hongarije was voor. Schoof staat in z’n hemd.

Ons land zit opgescheept met een coalitie die speelt met onze veiligheid en positie. Hoe lang kan de VVD dit nog verantwoorden?

[Jan Paternotte @jpaternotte]

Alle EU-leiders kozen vorige week voor actieplan om in deze tijd Europa veilig te houden: ReArm Europe.

In hoofdelijke stemming verwerpt de Tweede Kamer zojuist nipt dit plan met steun van PVV, BBB en NSC. Ze gooien daarmee premier Schoof voor de bus.

Oliedom en onverantwoord.

📸This video of Orbán’s daughter & family returning from a Maldives luxury island (owned by a Czech tycoon) on OTP Bank’s private jet has 700K+ views. Since EU taxpayers are footing the bill, they deserve to see how it's being spent.

Let’s get it to 800K!

Did anyone think this through? Some two-thirds of European defense procurement is spent on American weapons. If the U.S. indeed switched off the targeting of HIMARS in Ukraine — a country fighting a war that not just Kyiv, but most of Europe, consider existential — buying any American technology will soon be considered a security risk.

Here's our latest video. 5 minutes on Trump's history with Ukraine - and how it helps us understand the Trump administration's approach to Ukraine now.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

You can't understand the damage done to Europe/US relations without watching the German Foreign Minister's speech today, essentially saying that the US has fallen to Russia.
