7. Russian collapse. So in reality no matter what is said or signed by anyone, Putin will not stop and we won’t surrender. It’s simply not possible. Had russia not committed these crimes, there might have been some kind of truce. But it’s too late now. Russia will never

2/ ... look at this: diplomats with PhDs, security analysts with years in the field, aircrew risking their lives to surveil the Russia/Iran threat... all that expertise and dedication keeping us safe ... for this? The White House of Kennedy and Roosevelt turned into a trashy gift

3/ We in Europe have to draw one strategic conclusion. The USA is no longer a reliable or predictable ally. The leaders saw it with full clarity. We in civil society need to understand how deep the crisis is: no state is either safe or secure from territorial breakup ...

4/ The Budapest Memorandum has been killed not just by Putin but by Trump. But not only Budapest... once you nix one border by force, all borders come into play... the Europeans now need to act as if they are the designated targets for Putin/Trump revisionism ...

Meeting summary according to Giorgia Meloni.😂

- Meloni is regretting her life choices - Vdl is having a fun inner conversation - Merz is wondering if they have bratwurst for lunch - Macron zoned out 20 minutes ago - Stubb is drawing reindeers - Zelenskyy is biting his tongue - Rutte is applying Joey Tribbiani's acting trick

I asked ChatGPT to search public statements by Mearsheimer and me about the war in Ukraine, identify predictions, and evaluate the success rate and evidentiary support for the explanations. Here’s what it came up with (posted verbatim). Mearsheimer vs. Slantchev on Ukraine

Who is the real boss in Kremlin: Putin or Lavrov? How can anybody negotiate anything with Putin, if after the meeting of Putin and Trump, Lavrov publicly denies everything that Putin has promised to Trump in the bilateral meeting? Maybe Putin is not the real boss in Kremlin?

In 1999 Russia demanded it be included in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania’s EU accession talks. 😂 They always feel so left out of other peoples own lives. So much so they think it’s their right to kill and rape them.

🔴МВР разпорежда записите от камерите на хотела да НЕ СЕ РАЗПРОСТРАНЯВАТ, на тях се вижда, че: 🔴Полицейското синче минава с АТВ-то през черепите на майката и детето (чува се и звук!), 🔴Шофьорът НЕ ПОМАГА на жертвите, макар от МВР да пишат обратното 🔴Спирачките са работещи

Since before Trump was elected, I have consistently rejected conspiracy theories that the Kremlin has a kompromat on him and have maintained that regardless of his personal affinity for Putin, which is real and unmistakable, he will have to pursue a foreign policy with respect to

The battle of the trolls. As Lavrov becomes more and more intransigent and belligerent in his statements (and that's saying something), one can't help but wonder if his new role is as the 'thinking man's Medvedev.'

17/ Here’s the paradox: Russia cannot offer Bulgaria a real alternative to the EU or NATO. Economically, Bulgaria depends on the EU. Politically, ~80% of Bulgarians see their future with Europe.

Mark Hamill's response to Ivanka Trump is the greatest tweet back ever🐐 Do you agree??? Yes or No????

Има жестока ирония във факта, че етнически българин начело на турска партия санкциониран по Магнитски, но иначе пръв евроатлантик, праща 15 институции да смажат авто бизнеса на етнически турчин, помагащ и на украински бежанци.

Russia is giving up “seeking full control” of regions it can’t conquer and demands Ukraine abandon another region Russia can’t conquer in return. In other words, Russia wants to “give up”’something it does not have in order to obtain something it cannot take. I suppose a

Even Lukashenka’s border guards listen attentively to the speeches of the 🇪🇺Commission President and Prime Minister Tusk 🇵🇱! I managed to capture this video featuring Belarusian officers during today’s visit to the Polish-Belarusian border.

За руската интервенция върху самолета на Урсула фон дер Лайен научаваме от… Financial Times. Многократно се говори и предупреждава за руски хакерски атаки, но нищо конкретно не е направено, очевидно няма и достатъчно подготвени хора, както и системи. Една такава система е

The danger of digital transformation. (respect her for being airborne again!)

🚨 HOLY SH*T: The Trump White House is threatening GOP lawmakers — saying if they sign Rep. Thomas Massie’s petition to release the Epstein files, it’ll be treated as a “hostile act.” That’s not how innocent people act. That’s how coverups get enforced.
