Predictions are fun. Having made some before the election of Trump's second term maybe it's time for a recap of how it's going. 1. Trump would align with Russia (and China) against Europe ✅ 2. Trump would go after Greenland ✅* 3. Trump would be successful in stealing the midterms ❌❓

Sadly it's a win-win for Russia. Europe does nothing: Russia gets to continue scaling up aggression unhindered and undermine the whole idea of Nato. Europe retaliates: Putin gets thee perfect excuse to start with mobilization, which is what he really wants.

You can't be a European patriot and side with the people trying to burn Europe down. The era of "both sides" is over. Politicians working for our enemies need to be treated like the threat they are. Being soft on betrayal is the fastest way to become a vassal state

After the Viggen for India affair (the US blocked RM8/JT8D export approvals) the F404 selection was apparently contingent on the US giving a written undertaking to not do the same thing again. Unfortunately now Trump is in charge that promise wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on.

Good to have a baseline. It'll be interesting to see how these numbers change when the propaganda kicks in. Also 14 and 30% are already scary high numbers for something like that. Not surprised though sadly.

The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland

Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

A few reflections on the US in the darkness of Trump: 1. The US is unable to defend any values. 2. The US lacks all checks & balances. 3. The US establishment is cowardly & ineffective. Shut up about the free & brave! They are elsewhere, in Ukraine for example.

And that's exactly why they should lock themselves in a room NOW and "contemplate" until they not only have a plan for such contingencies, but also a plan B,C,D and a fallback plan on top of that if all else fails.

I think the answer is "More than we think we can, but less than we need to be able to do". That definitely applies in the NB region, where our NATO Enhanced Forward Presence contribution is underpowered & a long way from potential reinforcements in a crisis.

This has been Trump's intention from the start. All he wants is to pursue US (and personal) economic interests in Russia, and Ukraine is currently an obstacle to being able to do this. So the 'Ukraine obstacle' - in his mind - has to be removed and/or neutralised.

It's no mystery who is the 'they' Trump was referring to in the Oval Office yesterday: Rutte, von der Leyen and our national European leaders who have prostrated themselves before the US president.

Another busy morning of media reality checks. Still a vast gap between (a) excitable reporting based on comments from European leaders who are humouring Trump instead of saying "this will never work", and (b) what anybody who knows Russia and has been paying attention knows is likely to happen.

Just a reminder--it was 13 days ago that Donald Trump said he needed two weeks to decide whether to push for harder sanctions on Russia. When he, inevitably, fails to do so--can we have a retraction published for every story/commentary that took his BS on this seriously?
