BREAKING: Ukraine is still fighting for its survival. Last year I haven´t written long threads on Ukraine because the main points didn´t change: 1) On the frontline: Russia still grinds on. Ukraine still puts up fierce resistance. Ukraine faces still the same problems 1/

Vor vier Jahren. Erste Reaktion: „Diese Idioten haben es wirklich getan.“ Nachrichten von Freunden und Verwandten (ich war damals noch nicht auf Twitter). Am Abend schrieb ich ein paar schnelle Einschätzungen. Dann kam mein ukrainischer Nachbar vorbei.

The new US National Security Strategy is very telling on their plans for Europe and the EU. Let´s take a look: They want Europe to "restore civilizational self-confidence and Western identiy." Didn´t realize until now that we lost it, but well. What do they mean by that? ⬇️

Usually, I don't post personel stuff but today my step-father died and my brother told me that he had always kept cigarettes for me. I quit smoking 6 years ago but one last is left in this package. It's likely years old. This one is on him.

Do you know the real drama of Russias war in Ukraine? To understand what the Nazis were up to you had to read 700+ pages of Hitlers "Mein Kampf". To understand what Putin was up to you had to read ~ 15 pages of Putins “On the Historical Unity”. Still many fail to understand.

Security guarantees only count if someone is actually willing to go to war with Russia. As the war has shown that that is exactly what Europe and the US don't want, it's noise.Just ramp up support as Russia won't negotiate for real if it thinks it can win militarily. Now lets talk about support...
