Finland’s President Alexander Stubb on Ukraine's future:
Number one, Ukraine is going to be European.
It's going to be an EU member state and eventually a NATO member state.

I cannot emphasise enough how significant Belarus turning its back on Russia is, it shows how dire the situation is for Russian on the frontline and domestically.
The United States has for the first time approved a text stating that it is no longer a neutral mediator in the Russia–Ukraine war, Macron said.
“The document states that the United States supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity, provides military assistance, helps with energy, and imposes sanctions on Russia.”
A Russian disinformation network called Storm-1516 has been operating across the West since 2023, publishing fabricated stories and interfering in the political processes of foreign states, Bloomberg reports. Linked to the GRU and believed to include former operatives from Yevgeny Prigozhin's troll factory, the group has been accused of interfering in elections in the US, Germany and Hungary. Among its recent operations was a fake BBC report claiming a stolen Paul Cézanne painting had been spotted in Zelensky's office.
‼️Czech President Pavel suggested Russia could attack the Baltics
According to him, if Europe and the United States were weakened, Moscow could consider limited actions to test NATO’s response and effectiveness.
NATO is a force multiplier for the United States. Europe is its strategic depth. The US presence in Europe is not an act of charity - it is an investment in America's own security. Turning away from Europe would be a strategic mistake of historic proportions.
🇪🇺🇭🇺 Hungary Votes Out Orbán After 16 Years — Europe’s NATO Veto Is Gone
Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat to Péter Magyar, with Tisza on course to win 68% of seats compared to just 29% for Fidesz with nearly half the votes counted. Voter turnout reached its highest levels since the end of Communist rule, reflecting deep fatigue with Orbán’s illiberal rule and a newly unified opposition. The result is transformational for Europe, Orbán’s defeat removes NATO’s most reliable Kremlin asset and ends Hungary’s systematic blocking of EU aid to Ukraine, coming just days after JD Vance rallied alongside Orbán in Budapest.

@pl_european The problem is the paradigm under which the discussion itself occurs. Whatever it refers to it should have no place in the consideration of western foreign policy.

@joni_askola NATO is more mutually beneficial than Trump/MAGA care to admit. The alternative to a Euro-American led world is a Chinese-Russian led world

@jurgen_nauditt He’s an interesting figure, but all of western leadership post soviet collapse acted with shocking naïveté toward Russia. In the case of he and Obama it simply became less forgivable as they let Putin march straight into Crimea, having learned nothing from Bush’s mistakes.
🇺🇸🇪🇺 Trump Threatens to Quit NATO After Allies Refuse to Join His War
Trump told The Telegraph he is “beyond reconsideration” on NATO membership, calling the alliance “a paper tiger,” and confirmed to Reuters he is “absolutely” considering withdrawal — angered that European allies declined to join the Iran war or help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The threat is legally hollow without a two-thirds Senate vote, and analysts note Trump cannot exit NATO while simultaneously fighting a war that depends on European bases. His approval rating has hit a second term low as gas prices approach $4 a gallon.

There are forces influencing US policy that stand to benefit from the US pulling out of NATO. This would be a long term disaster for both the US and Europe. The US has has taken it’s eye off the ball regarding Ukraine and European security, and right wing parties in the EU (Russian backed) which wish to make to make Europe energy dependent on Russia again are gaining popularity.
Europe as a net importer of energy and rare earths is in a precarious spot, and the US risks becoming an overgrown backwater in the western hemisphere that is ultimately beneath a Russian-Chinese alliance. The maintaining of transatlantic relations is critical to prevent such a world order. First NATO must outlast the Trump administration.

@robertevans93@Osint613 “you now wish to say Trump's foreign policy is Bush-era? b/c they both have armed conflicts in the ME?”
…yes? That’s a fair thing to draw comparison on, actually. Lmfao.
