Congress has united as one behind the Ukraine war \u2013 that message was impossible to miss (even if it was staged).<\/p>\n<p>One wonders if anyone dares to show these videos to Putin and with a bit of luck we\u2019ll be spared Macron and Scholz for a while now, hard to try to broker peace when the USA promises to go all in to secure a win.<\/p>\n<p>I also believe that JEF got on a plane to the USA to also discuss their support. A couple in the thread posted flights yesterday and I think it looked like that.<\/p>\n<p>The visit to the USA obviously came for a reason \u2013 support in the EU is starting to falter and you know who (two) have smelled morning air and crawled out into the daylight which has made Putin still believe he has an out.<\/p>\n<p>Now they have probably secured support from the USA and JEF in the amount and systems Ukraine wants, including tanks and advanced aircraft. They have also planted a very fast-growing seed of doubt among the Russian leadership and the country Ukraine knows that their president is welcome every day into the fine rooms in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>This was probably Putin&#8217;s worst day so far in the war, he is well versed in the subject of the USA and knows very well that when they go all in, it&#8217;s over.<\/p>\n<p>It is obvious that soldiers and citizens in Ukraine are starting to get war-weary and Zelensky has probably succeeded with the biggest morale boost since the berserkers got their mushroom through his visit to Bakhmut and the USA trip. The choice is between castration and desecration of small children or being welcomed with open arms into the free West by none other than the USA if they just keep fighting.<\/p>\n<p>I also think I see a new security order taking shape \u2013 JEF (joint expeditionary force) includes the countries that have donated the most weapons to Ukraine and made the strongest statements. It is pleasing that Sweden is part of it, even though my personal opinion is that we could have delivered more.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the EU will move in the right direction going forward as this is a strong group with short numbers to the USA as it should be. Clearly, the EU daycare needs a preschool teacher in the form of the USA to function as it should.<\/p>\n<p>You saw who demonstratively sat and looked at their phones the whole speech\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Very positive, when I worked in an African country there was an election, the two candidates got the same number of votes (fraud of course\u2026) and could not decide who would become president \u2013 both were ready to fight for power.<br \/>\nThe US ambassador got into his diplomatic car, flag on, and drove home to one (the most suitable) candidate.<br \/>\nThe next day he stood on TV as the country&#8217;s new president and a civil war was avoided.<br \/>\n-That&#8217;s kind of how I see this USA visit, the diplomatic car has driven into Zelensky&#8217;s driveway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-1\">\n<h3>09:56 \u2013 Johan No.1<\/h3>\n<p>I have a bit of a tradition to try to buy a better whisky for Christmas and some cigars that last until New Year.
