After a year of no support for Ukraine, this week the US Congress decided to send USD 400 million to Ukraine in 2026.

Japan — a country with only one third the population of the US — decided to send 15 times as much.

Because Japan is on the side of democracy. 🇯🇵♥️🇺🇦

Alt tyder på et "spændende" 2026
Facing an economic spiral and depleted conventional forces, Vladimir Putin is entering a window of maximum danger. We must prepare not for a resurgent Russia but for a desperate one: 2026 will be the year of hybrid escalation.

New evidence suggests that alcohol was a surprisingly big motivator in our monumental transition from hunting and gathering to farming – but was beer really more important to us than bread?
Did ancient humans start farming so they could drink more beer?

Fin beretning fra Obama's reset med Rusland. Medvedev som Ruslands præsident der arbejder hen imod demokrati. En kæmpe kontrast til i dag. Putin er tilbage, Medvedev er en drukkenbolt der truer med atomvåben og Trump afmonterer Pax Americana.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the end of the Pax Americana, yesterday in Munich, Germany.

“Dear friends, the decades of the Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany, as well. It no longer exists as we know it. And nostalgia won’t change that.

Trump again shows his utter ignorance & bias against Zelenskyy

🟠says he loves Churchill. The UK had no general election for 10 YEARS during WWII.
The last Presidential election in Ukraine was 6 years ago.

He also ignores Zelenskyy saying he'll hold elections if US make it safe.

Man kan stadig støde på danskere, som har en forestilling om, at al krig foregår på samme grusomme vis og at russerne derfor hverken er værre eller bedre end andre. Militær historiker Antony Bevoor forklarer her, hvorfor den forstilling er forkert.

Exactly. The USA is no longer a trusted partner. Europe must act accordingly.
German foreign policy and security expert and member of the German parliament Roderich Kiesewetter issued another stark warning, this time regarding the latest US National Security Strategy (NSS) document. This is his statement:

„Arm Ukraine to win costs: €522-838 billion. Let Russia win and rearm Europe: €1.2-1.6 trillion—double the cost. Plus 6-11 million additional refugees.“

Norway did the math: Arm Ukraine to win, or pay double when Russia does
A new study finds Europe faces a simple choice: back Ukraine now for half the price, or pay far more later to deter a stronger Russia.

They had the decency not to blame us for being invaded and didn't push us to surrender.

​Moral of the story: you need nukes and can believe absolutely no one, especially not Russia.
