My article just published in Kyiv Post:
"Zelensky Should Kick the US Out of Peace Negotiations"
Characteristically, in his important speech in Munich Rubio did not mention the key issues: Russia & Ukraine.
Alas, the US is no ally.

Opinion: Zelensky Should Kick the US Out of Peace Negotiations

It’s become hard to ignore the fact that Trump is doing everything he can to aid and abet Putin’s failed attempt to conquer Ukraine. The only way to a just peace is to negotiate without the US.

Two months after Trump reportedly said he'd back Israeli attack on Iran's missile program if no deal, "internal discussions between senior figures in the US military and intelligence community have started to contemplate a possibility of supporting fresh round of Israeli strikes on Iran"

POLITICO Europe

@politico.eu

Multiple European countries are publicly backing talks on a homegrown nuclear deterrent to complement American atomic weapons following an erosion of trust in a Donald Trump-led U.S.

Nuke-talk is heating up among Europeans in Munich

🇪🇺☢️ Multiple European countries are publicly backing talks on a homegrown nuclear deterrent to complement American atomic weapons.

Top officials from Baltic countries told POLITICO that, while they still see NATO as cornerstone of nuclear deterrence, they are now willing to talk about Europe’s role.
