OPINION: After World War II, the U.S. contributed generously to the relaunch of the European economy. It also massively influenced new democratic institutions in the nascent European Community. Maybe now it’s Europe’s turn to defend these values — and that means taking action.

This is what the EU’s trade bazooka was meant for
Having for once been prescient in endowing itself with a policy instrument in line with the times, it would be irresponsible for the EU to give up just because the coercion at hand comes from the most powerful country in the world.

Belgrade's historic day of anger: Hundreds of thousands of Serbians protest for 'laws and justice that work'
The country's authoritarian president Aleksandar Vucic was the protestors' main target at the large anti-corruption demonstration, following the fatal accident at the Novi Sad train station. Saturday's movement was reminiscent of those that led to the fall of former dictator Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.
