.President Donald J. Trump says the intelligence on Iran strike was "very inconclusive. The intelligence says, we don't know. It could have been very severe. That's what the intelligence says. So I guess that's correct. But I think we can take the we don't know--it was very severe. It was

I guess Iranians will seek a compromise as they are weakened on so many fronts — and have to face more Israeli and US strikes.

The shortest NATO summit statement in many decades, but makes the key points that Russia poses a long-term threat to allies’ security, and that the security of Ukraine contributes to the security of the entire alliance. nato.int/cps/en/natohq/…

Israel offers a sunny assessment of Trump's strikes on Iran. Unlike the US intel report, which said the strike likely only set the program back by "months," the Israelis say it has "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years" (it does not provide details)

Today marks a historic day for NATO: we are investing in the foundation of our freedom, our security, and our prosperity. Article 5 of the NATO Treaty stands. We are sending a resolute signal of strength and unity to those who threaten us.

Trump gets emotional as he is asked by a Ukrainian reporter whose husband serves in Ukraine about whether he will supply air defenses to Ukraine. Quite a moment in the press conference.

During the Cold War it was always the task of (Western) European leaders -- namely German chancellors -- to keep US presidents engaged in (Western) European security. Not so different to today. When Moscow is becoming hostile, Europe needs to keep the US on board. Then and now.

Trump on NATO: “I came here because it was something I’m supposed to be doing, but I left here a little bit differently… I left here saying that these people really love their countries. It’s not a ripoff. And we’re here to help them protect their country.”

Pretty simple: countries that feel threatened by Russia will invest in their armed forces, others won't. Broadly the north and east of Europe falls in the first category, the west and the south in the other.

This sounds logical: “The UK government has said it wants to boost trade with China despite warning that Beijing has been increasing efforts to spy on Britain and to undermine its democracy and economic security.” 1/2
