Euro-Australian. Born and live on Yalukit Willam land, never ceded. Ukraine hawk, NAFO before NAFO. Democracy advocate. #TrumpMustResign Let’s be kind to each other.
Entirely predictable Keystone Kash Khaos.
“If there is some sort of mass casualty event, we're going to have to answer to Congress and to the American people, why one-quarter of the FBI workforce to one-third has been moved to deal with immigration, which is primarily the purview of an entire different cabinet department.”

russia is never going to agree anyway so it’s all academic

They’ll only come to terms when faced with two of: battlefield defeat, economic collapse, major civil unrest

I’m saying
-joining NATO is of questionable value w Trump on the throne; relinquishing this is not the concession it was a year ago
-a security guarantee as good/better is possible. Has to include US. For the others, better have the willing, who will genuinely fight, than those who won’t show unity

You’re contradicting yourself: NATO is the US.

That’s why I say above that NATO is no longer essential.

Americans can stop it. Now.

March. Protest. Everywhere, constantly.

Demand tougher gun laws. Demand Trump resigns.

Don’t stop till he does.

It worked in Bulgaria. Yesterday.

#TrumpMustResign
Bulgaria had the largest anti-impunity protest in 30 years and after a couple of days the government resigned. #3E

“It’s mesmerising that the contempt for Europe and the sheer aggression is put on paper in this way. A vision of America going to be the biggest most powerful country in the world by trampling on former European & Latin American allies & not accepting it faces a military threat from Russia & China.”

Trust Ukraine.
With Trump, NATO is no longer/not currently what it was. A good security guarantee could be as good — better.

‘The world has changed, but the principal enemies of Moscow are largely the same. The United States remains the “main adversary” (главный противник) as it has been since the Cold War, followed by the United Kingdom and the “bourgeois” countries of Western Europe.’

The threat alone of the secondary sanctions Trump promised were having a significant effect … until he TACO’d.
“48 million barrels just sitting out there in tankers because Indian refiners, who normally would be hoovering this stuff up, are no longer interested. And even China’s state-owned energy companies are backing off, afraid of the secondary sanctions Trump has been threatening for a long time now.”

More standover ‘diplomacy’.
“They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution from the Trump administration.”

American “prestige”.

It’s the standover ‘diplomacy’ that I find even more shocking.
“US officials—I heard this directly from diplomats there—told individual countries’ officials, if you don’t vote for us you won’t get a US visa & we’ll shut down your bank account.

Naked ‘US controls the dollar, financial system, tech stack & we will use it to threaten diplomats & negotiations’.”
