9/4 Americans rarely elevate foreign political leaders into their own heroes but it did happen w Churchill who lead the fight against Hitler. And it happened again with Angela Merkel because she scornfully rejected Trump's call for more munitions for NATO and less gas from Russia.
7/25 A bold idea: NATO offers to withdraw nukes from Europe (militarily useless, ineffective deterrents as we’ve just seen, & recklessly dangerous) in return for ending the invasion. Putin gets a “win” which costs us nothing worth having.
7/16 “I urge you to do the utmost to pressure the German Government to do what it should do according to its size and responsibility within #NATO and the EU,” stated @gahler_michael, who called on @JensStoltenberg to sustain a constant flow of weapons to #Ukraine. Hear more ⤵️
"In 1990s many Bosnians & Kosovars were so reactionary that they refused to let Milosevic kill them, instead fighting for their lives, even strategically accepting NATO aid to that end. Had they known how disappointed grifter podcasters are, would they make the same choice?" /s
7/7 .@RepMalliotakis on board/cosponsored F16s amendment “despite Greece's legitimate concerns @POTUS signaled willingness to provide Turkey with US warplanes/kits which would only heighten threat against some of our country's strongest allies, including Greece, Cyprus, Israel”
We don't support any proposals which would drag the NATO and Hungary into the war, it's a Russian-Ukrainian war and NATO is a defence alliance, Viktor #Orban said ahead of the #NATOSummit in Madrid, after meeting @AndresPastrana_, the president of @idc_cdi. (Photo: MTI)

Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova: "Ukraine that you & I had known, within the borders that used to be, no longer exists, and will never exist again." Like I always emphasized, this was never about NATO's expansion, only Russia's expansion through genocide.
Now that Putin has said NATO had nothing to do with it and that it really is all about getting back what he considers “ancient Russian lands”, we can finally dismiss Mearsheimer forever and kick ourselves for ever wasting our time even arguing against his nonsense.
An essential remark by President Niinistö regarding Finland's NATO desires and Russia: - You caused this. Look in the mirror. Russia broke the status quo in Northern Europe through their demands and by attacking Ukraine. This is why Finland's security assessment changed.
Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons for the sake of world peace. We have then been knocking on NATO’s door, but it never opened. Security vacuum led to Russian aggression. The world owes Ukraine security and we ask states to decide which security guarantees they are ready to provide.
