The correct response to Russian fighters overflying NATO territory is *obviously* to shoot them down. The reason why this is important is good old credibility. You don't do it now, you signal to the other side that you are afraid; therefore, they will do it again and again.

Eine Frage, die immer wieder auftaucht: Welche Länder sind perfekt für den Bahnpass – und wo seid ihr mit normalen Tickets besser dran?

We have no more time for words. Europe needs plans. Here’s one:
Even 100 European jets protecting the skies over western Ukraine would have greater impact than deploying 10,000 European ground troops, with less cost and less risk to personnel’s lives. Europe can make this happen.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

That a wartime president who courageously remained in his country despite being urged to leave, and has united and led his country since, is lectured on 'peace' and 'advantage' by a former military photographer and a draft dodger is a massive irony.

Never underestimate Ukraine.

Many did, especially Putin. Trump is making the same mistake - again.

Elon Musk convinced everyone to leave Twitter. Can he do the same thing with the United States?
