Nawrocki’s win in Polish presidential election is the first major victory for Trump-endorsed candidate abroad since his return to the White House. He was also earlier supported by Hungarian PM and Trump’s ally Orban during CPAC conference this week.

What is obscene about this act of sycophancy is not merely its failure to mention Putin's genocidal war against Ukraine. It is also the taunt - reminiscent of Western apologists of Stalinism - that Russian people are free citizens marching towards a 'radiant future,' not an

Last year a series of FA articles advocated for Ukraine’s swift entry into NATO. Now a single article prior to the summit suggests NATO should reverse its stance & drop UA membership pledge. A sign of how expert debate follows perceived govt policy rather than seeks to shape it.

So no mention of Rus aggression; no mention of alliance commitments to Ukraine, only sovereign ones; no mention of Ukraine’s NATO integration or EuroAtlantic aspirations. Remarkable change in tone &substance attributed only to one new leader at the summit! nato.int/cps/en/natohq/…

No better evidence that behind MAGA concern with illegal immigration there is really fear of all foreign-born, even US citizens, who are perceived first and foremost as a political threat - but framed as a threat to American way of life. Xenophobia in its purest form.

This is in line with everything Trump has been doing so far - prioritizing improved relationship with Putin over security interests of Ukraine and Europe.

Why obfuscate and generalize? Not the West, but America. And not “failed to convince Putin” but betrayed Ukraine. With all direct criticisms of Biden’s policies from ISW, they have become completely reticent on Trump. Partisanship parading as an independent analysis.

Trump keeps talking about the deadlines & sanctions, while Putin keeps bombing Ukrainian cities. Pathetic leadership and more empty words from a man who promised to achieve “peace through strength” in 24 hrs.

This is the opposite of what’s happening . This night Ru bombed Kyiv again: “Schools and hospitals were among the buildings that took hits across 27 locations in the city, officials said.The air force reported 5 direct missile hits and 21 drone hits in 12 locations.” Get a grip!

This is ultimate humiliation for the US - to host a leader wanted under ICC arrest warrant, who would be arrested anywhere else in the West, to negotiate a deal aimed at rewarding him for his war of aggression against America’s ally.
