A couple of days after the 2024 US elections I posted a thread on Twitter on what a Trump administration policy on Ukraine and Russia was likely to be. What they're doing now is appalling, but it shouldn't be a surprise.

NATO is een politiek-militaire organisatie. Dat zijn 2 Instruments of Power (IoP). Per definitie zijn hybride acties onder de drempel van Art 5. Daarom is NATO minder geschikt om te strijden tegen hybride acties. De EU beschikt over heel wat meer IoP die beter geschikt zijn tegen hybride acties. 🤷‍♂️

🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸 The lack of warnings from partners about ballistic missile launches over Ukraine will not affect fuel prices in any way. Nor will the restrictions on Starlink. They will only affect the Russians' desire to shell and kill even more. The world must act decisively to stop the enemy, — Zaluzhny.

Vladimir Putin appears unwilling to make any concessions in the face of mounting pressures in the belief that victory in Ukraine is within his reach — but concerns are mounting within Russia's ruling elite. Read Natalya Kovaleva's analysis for the autumn issue of @theworldtoday.org.

Russia’s elites pay ever greater price for Ukraine war

High-level dissent is being stamped out as Putin makes big business bear the costs of the invasion – but concern is mounting, writes Natalya Kovaleva.

Many people have a wrong idea about what US intelligence sharing with Ukraine is. In reality it's largely early warnings about air strikes so Ukrainians can seek shelter. This requires US satellites. But it looks like Trump might have instructed his military to stop giving Ukrainians that warning.

Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum. That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

As for Europe's security policy, the imperative remains the same: Europeans must become militarily capable of deterring and defending against Russia completely alone, under an assumption of zero U.S. assistance. The test case is Ukraine and the future is the Ukraine-Europe alliance. 10-10

These are hard times, but Ukrainians always adapt and Russian military advantages never last. We can have faith and trust in the demonstrated ability of Ukrainians to bounce back and fight better. Which is why we need a Ukraine-Europe alliance.

A sincere question to which I don't have the answer (for that matter, I very much doubt I'll ever receive one that's fully reliable) is this: Did the major intelligence agencies of the EU, the UK and Ukraine know that the bloody deal between Putin & Trump was in the making? Not an abstract question.

Russia has no chance of advancing any further on the ground in Ukraine. That is why it has focused on destabilizing Ukraine and Europe from within and intensified its terror from the air. Russia has also poured enormous amounts of money into information warfare: fakes, bots, and fabricated news.

Hopefully those Europeans cheerleading that Graham Memorial Bill now have a bit of buyer‘s remorse. All it did was to endow Trump with another tool to justify tariffs when he feels like imposing them. For Trump, it has zero to do with supporting 🇺🇦. Quite the opposite seems true.
