While I agree with this as a pragmatic solution, I think purchases from the US should be avoided as much as possible, and the excessive cash should be used to ramp up capacity in Europe and Ukraine. Give European companies big contracts worth billions of dollars so that they have the certainty...

The problem with this situation is that it will be very hard to justify sending money to Ukraine for countries like Australia or New Zealand, when the US is not only not giving money, but actually making a profit by selling military hardware (and also getting the minerals). Why should...

So here are the main changes regarding Ukraine since Trump came to office: 1) The US will sell weapons to Ukraine (paid by Europe, because Ukraine doesn’t have the money) instead of giving them for free. Winner: US Losers: Ukraine, Europe 2) The minerals deal where US gets rights to Ukrainian...

The USA and Russia are two sides of the same coin. Both of them are imperialistic bullies who think they are above everyone else. The US’s advantage is that it is much more economically devloped, and being their vassal is much more lucrative than being Russia’s. It’s better to be the UK than to...

While the deal is clearly not as bad as it was initially supposed to be, the optics of Ukraine being forced to sign the deal in order to appease Trump are awful. Why was this deal required in the first place? It was reauired because Trump wanted to humiliate Ukraine so he can boast to his...

Too bad that Ukraine caved and signed the deal. It is a sign of European weakness. Trump should have not been appeased. Europe should have guaranteed Ukraine that it will step up and replace US aid if necessary, but with the condition that Ukraine doesn’t sign any surrender deal with the US...

It’s not because of the nukes. Russia has many more nukes than Israel, and you shot down their jet. It’s about the combined diplomatic and military power of Israel that makes it basically untauchable. Israel has the full baking of the USA like no other country does. Also, they have the...

This is another reason why it is imperative that everyone supports Ukraine with weapons in order to defeat Russia. Now that the US is on Putin’s side, the rest of the world needs to get its act together and push for more military aid. Trump’s “peace” plan is desgined in the Kremlin and must be...

Russians only know how to destroy, not how to build and improve.

But there is also a silver lining for Putin when it comes to Russia’s economic collapse. When Russians will be dirt poor, they will be willing to enroll in the meat waves for a much lower price 😂

More about this here: https://helsing.ai/newsroom/helsing-to-produce-6000-additional-strike-drones-for-ukraine The good news is that Helsing is going to build more factories spread towards Europe, creating the base for future mass production of intelligent and high precision European drones...

There is no such option because so far the EU has tried to work on consensus, but it is obvious that such a system is very limited in what it can achieve, especially when you have a higher number of countries involved. The rules need to be adapted to the current reality. The EU clearly needs an...

Hungary has acted against the interests of fellow EU members for too long, and it is working as a Trojan Horse inside the EU at the command of Putin. It’s about time they are put in their place and stripped of their voting power, until they come to their senses and stop being traitors. They...

The US incorporated far away lands like Alaska and Hawaii into their country, because of their strategic importance. I don’t think that it is unreasonable to believe that Turkey can be included in the EU in the longer term. The Roman Empire used to include Northern Africa as well, so there is no...

I don’t think you understand the long term strategy of the EU. The EU simply swallows countries that are geographically close and politically aligned, and the borders of the EU are not limited to the current ones. Cyprus was an easy to get country (they wanted inside the EU and it had a good...

If Turkey would become a EU member, the right of passage through Greek territorial waters would not be an issue, because there is freedom of movement inside the EU. I know there are many disputes between you and Greece, but the optimal way to handle them is through negotiation and diplomacy...

Could not have said it better myself.

But you can’t expect a merger between a bigger country and a smaller country (based on population) to be a merger of equals when it comes to government representation. When Germany reunited, it was basically West Germany absorbing East Germany, not a hybrid state with equal representation...

If the Annan plan was the best deal Greek Cypriots were ever going to get, it means there was never a honest intention to allow for reunification. The Annan plan was not fair to Greek Cypriots and was destined to be rejected in the referendum. As for the Turkish Cypriot elections this year...

Can’t argue with that. Always happens within the EU. 100% agree with you here as well. But joining the EU customs union will not be easy, and getting a new democratic government seems difficult as well…
