❗️🇺🇦 Zelensky: "We would like to "quietly" receive PAC-3 missiles from the countries and transfer drones to them for interception."
He noted that the Middle Eastern countries launched 800 PAC-3 missiles in three days, and Ukraine has never had so many in the entire war.
OPINION: Last week, the European Parliament froze the long-awaited trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc.
For partners already hedging their bets in an increasingly contested global landscape, it reinforces doubts over whether Europe can be relied on.
Dominik Tatarka was a Slovak anti-communist dissident in Czechoslovakia. He wrote how one of the most important things in creating a totalitarian regime was "the demon of consent". To get people to loudly and proudly proclaim their approval of horrible things being done in their name.
I know that when I say uncomfortable things about US actions, both toward allies and internally, I lose some support from conservative circles in the U.S. But that doesn’t matter to me, because being on the right side of history and standing with the Americans who stood with us is far more important
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Saying this without judging religions or ideological beliefs as such, I find a dark amusement in watching millions who claim to be devout Christians and defenders of traditional family values cheer for the death of a woman, strip protections from the needy, separate families, and celebrate wars
Tomorrow, the Russian invasion of Ukraine will reach 1,418 days, the exact same number of days as the German invasion of the Soviet Union, from the border crossing on June 22nd to the official proclamation of Victory on May 9th and capitulation of Berlin.
"Anti-Imperialism"
Reuters reports that U.S. officials have discussed offering lump sum payments of $10,000 to $100,000 to Greenland residents as an incentive to secede from Denmark.
It might cover two or maybe even three hospital visits in the U.S., depending on coverage plan, networks, and luck

I checked out his timeline, and guy Musk is promoting (someone with >100k followers) is just posting straight up Stormfront ca. 2005 material, or White Aryan Resistance material ca.1989. The world’s richest man and the GOP’s most important funder has turned X into Stormfront.
Insider stock trades in Congress, crypto fund rug pulls, lobbying (legalized bribery), subcontracting schemes, family nepotism in business and politics, and revolving door corruption. Many have existed for decades, and Americans have become accustomed to them, but this is on a whole new level

6/ Europe, in my view, should remain strong and become more assertive toward its adversaries. We have returned to a world where power is defined solely by those holding the biggest clubs. And if you don’t have big enough club - you will be someone’s breakfast
5/ I am not convinced the United States will navigate its political crisis without some form of violent outcome during the next presidential election, as one side has clear incentives not to relinquish power even if it loses, something that has already been attempted once.
Watch out Europe, Trump is coming for your elections next
MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

Great news, glad to see this
Ukrainian Air Force F-16s are being equipped with LAU-131 launchers carrying APKWS II guided rockets, offering a cheaper and precise option to take down Shahed drones and other UAVs.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇
Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 BBC analysis of Trump-Xi meeting:
▪️ Xi negotiated at least on equal terms, but probably from a position of strength.
▪️Trump started the trade war with China in April. 9 months have passed, and now he himself is making concessions for the sake of a fragile truce.
