It’s unacceptable that 500 million Europeans have left themselves exposed and dependent on 340 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians, who have been unable to win against 40 million Ukrainians in a three-day war that has lasted for three years.

Pretty much sums it up

Da heißt es, Friedrich Merz sei von gestern, mit seinem Vokabular. Dabei umgarnt der Mann doch nur die nächste Generation.

Die Ukraine verteidigt seit 3 Jahren nicht nur sich selbst sondern ganz Europa gegen den Aggressor Putin.

It's really fucking clear that Trump and his cronies are out to break everything and everyone as much as they can, their 'enemies' within and without. The more cruel, the more mean, the more unfair - the better.

and convert the tears of others into gold in their pockets.

The world is on fire and look what the Belgians talk about

Ein Dokument der Schande: Die USA stimmen gemeinsam mit Nordkorea, Belarus, Russland und Nicaragua gegen eine Resolution der Vereinten Nationen, die den Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine als völkerrechtswidrig verurteilt.

Trump does not look like he agrees... No wonder: on the same day he allied himself with the aggressor, Russia, at the UN.

I suppose we'll learn that Jo Biden and the Democrats are to blame for this as well. And I wouldn't be surprised if Musk-Trump were to fire the doomsayers at NASA...

He parrots the lines fed to him by Putin.

“Oh it’s too simplistic to say he’s a Russian asset”

Europe panicks about US and RU deciding it's fate without European leaders being at the table. But which European leader should Trump actually have invited? Who speaks for Europe? It is either a cacophonic delegation consisting of 3, maybe 5 or even more politicians or.... well, exactly - who?

Anyone still unclear what "MAGA" actually means: bully the US's friends but suck up to its enemies.

Trump shamelessly tries to exploit Ukraine's predicament - a protection racket minus protection...
(FT: "...Trump suggested the US was owed half a trillion dollars’ worth of Ukraine’s resources in exchange for its assistance to the war-torn country.")

"If you are not at the table you are on the menu". That's the situation Europe risks finding itself in, with the new world "order" taking shape between Trump, Putin and Xi.

Trump claims he's going to cut US energy prices by 50%... but wants to get there by stopping investment in what is the cheapest source of supply: Renewables. The guy is hopelessly stupid.

Instead he was boasting, belligerent, vindictive, abusive, offensive and lying. His speech was meant to set the tone for his second presidency - a lot of courage and determination will be required to stand up to this man and his plans.

Whoever thought that we might witness a milder, more conciliant Donald Trump, the "unifier and peace maker" he claims to be, has just been taken back to earth.
