@McFaul I think it shows one thing above all: the great dealmaker ultimately has no clue about politics. He’s going to completely and irresponsibly ruin everything the U.S. has stood for.
Given all the problems in the world, including major wars in Europe and the Middle East, I cannot believe that Trump is resurrecting the horrible idea of annexing Greenland.
"Donald Trump believed that Gianni Infantino would do his bidding. And as the events of the past 48 hours have shown, he was not far wrong.
"At this stage, Fifa’s reputation is so rancid that its shamelessness no longer surprises. For the United States, this sordid red card episode is more damaging."

Rebuild FIFA. All of it. Burn it to the studs and start again. What we watched this week belongs in 1800, down the mokkeste back alley in the most corrupt country on earth. Instead it is the global game, in the open, in daylight. Rules bent mid tournament because a president picked up the phone. A red card rewritten to order.
Football is the one thing the whole planet shares. Every country, every ball, every kid in every street. And we have handed it to men who will change the laws of the game for whoever calls last.
What the hell have we let it become.
@atrupar Fact check: No, we don’t have “the greatest economy ever.” Not even close.
Biden left office with 2.8% GDP growth and 4.0% unemployment. Today, under Trump, GDP growth is about 2.1% and unemployment is 4.2%.
Trump makes stuff up: "We've had probably the best year ever had by an American president. We have the greatest economy we've ever had. We have $19.2 trillion being invested in the United States. It's a world record."

On July 3, FM Radoslaw Sikorski met Ukraine's FM Andrii Sybiha in Warsaw. Sybiha proposed a package of anti-crisis steps to ease the strain.
Sybiha said Sikorski assured him that Poland will keep helping Ukraine strengthen its defense capabilities. 5X
Nawrocki held a tough line on Kyiv from the start. Tusk kept a softer, more flexible stance toward Ukraine.
Tusk criticized the UPA naming too, yet he kept pressing to calm the dispute. SW Research polled 832 adults, and 10.4% said they do not follow the issue at all. 4/
Nawrocki then moved to strip Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state honor.
Zelenskyy mailed the medal back to Poland before the procedure finished. His absence from a conference in Gdańsk and a Polish National Pantheon bill widened the gap further. 3/
The split traces back to late May, when Zelenskyy named a Ukrainian army unit after fighters of the UPA, the WWII insurgency Poland blames for the deaths of thousands of Poles in Volhynia.
Warsaw reacted with anger, and relations with Kyiv worsened sharply from there. 2/
42.6% of Poles back President Nawrocki's hard line on Ukraine, while only 32.5% side with Prime Minister Tusk's government. Another 14.6% back neither.
More Poles now favor Nawrocki's tough line toward Kyiv than Tusk's effort to calm the tensions — European Pravda. 1/
@McFaul He is simply obsessed with wanting to have Greenland. However, DJT is clearly offending his European allies with this. He is also showing that he cannot be trusted at all and that he is becoming an increasing threat to the free world, including the United States!

Ein Busfahrer nötigt seine Fahrgäste zu einem außerordentlichen Stop, um ein Gebet zu errichten. Das zeigt, wie viele andere "Einzelfälle", dass die Islamisierung unserer Gesellschaft unaufhörlich voranschreitet.
Befeuert wird sie von Politikern, die sich weigern, klare Richtlinien für das Zusammenleben festzulegen und von Vertretern der Zivilgesellschaft, die "Vielfalt" im Sinne des Nichteinheimischen glorifizieren. Dabei gedeiht besonders der islamische Extremismus, dessen Vertreter unsere Gesellschaft nicht nur verachten, weil sie sich als Muslime überlegen fühlen, sondern auch, weil sie bei uns keine Werte entdecken, die verteidigt werden.
Das sollte sich schnellstens ändern. Einwanderungsgesellschaften können nicht ohne Wertegerüst existieren.
#Islamismus, #Islam

@AnnaDeMilanese Für uns Europäer ist die Administration Trump wirklich eine ganz grosse Herausforderung. Für mindestens die Hälfte der US-Amerikaner ist er es aber nicht weniger. Trump wird wohl einmal als der ganz grosse Entzweier in die Geschichte eingehen...
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Auf der NATO-Konferenz in Ankara sagte Trump heute: Der Krieg in der Ukraine betrifft die USA nicht.
Wörtlich und eiskalt: "Es betrifft die Vereinigten Staaten nicht." Europa sei betroffen, nicht Amerika, so Trump neben Erdoğan.
Auch über die Kriegsbilder, die ihm regelmäßig sein eigener Verteidigungsminister Hegseth schickt, sprach er beiläufig – sie würden ihm einfach nicht gefallen.
Für den Präsidenten der stärksten Atommacht der Welt ist ein Krieg mit täglich Toten offenbar Ansichtssache, solange er nicht vor der eigenen Haustür tobt. Es ist die x-te Bestätigung eines Musters, das sich seit Monaten abzeichnet: Washington zieht sich aus der Verantwortung für Europas Sicherheit zurück, emotional wie strategisch.
Amerika hat das gewählt.
