If one sees the world as Risk, one should try to ally with the EU and not, as it is now, have all other actors against them.

Of course. An evil clown in the shit circus.

I think it’s a bit early yet. Merz asked the Greens to agree to the constitutional amendment immediately, thus proposing to implement it for the current government before the new government is in place.

We’ll see how it sounds later when CSU/SPD have taken office and the Greens have a real counterpart to negotiate with.

Should have been one’s own.

“Ukrainian IP-address… 🧐🇺🇦”

Will not come, Zelensky is there today meeting MBS but will not be part of the meeting. Maybe it’s good if he stays away so he’s not pressured to sign anything.

George Orwell’s 1984

Interesting, EmigrantJohan, one of the most interesting things I’ve seen in the “Trump saga” in a long time!

I can probably (to the extent that I actually understand what is being said) say that it is highly plausible and it provides a relevant nuance of what is likely also happening. Trump is not crazy and never has been, those he surrounds himself with are not delusional or fascists either, regardless of what is claimed in some form of consensus in the media and elsewhere… They are highly goal-focused and, which we do not want to acknowledge, ruthless in their pursuit of their goals.

However, I believe the section about UA has limited relevance, assuming that UA “wins” the war, essentially takes power in its territory and has the muscles to defend it in the future. Steaming economic growth and dynamic effects, such as optimism and joy, can quickly turn that situation into a Klondike and 1945 combo. – Not just a wishful thinking, but I actually believe it. I think a lot of foreign capital also wants to be part of that “race”…

A bit of Trumpology at the end. Something I believe many commentators overlook is that Trump and others are stressed, by time and realities (economy, primarily). They are testing different paths forward, whether well thought out or impulsive. It can be anything, as blunt or offensive as it may be, and if something doesn’t work, the attempt is abruptly abandoned and a new path is tried. The fact that there is usually, or always, a plan doesn’t mean that plan is good or successful.

It may be the Russians who are running it through servers in Ukraine.

Yes, it will probably be Ukraine that gets the blame.
(Maybe even a false flag? 🤔😄)
