Responsible leaders must be honest with their societies. Russia is already waging a war against Europe by systematically targeting civilian environment - the systems that enable everyday life. These attacks take concrete forms:⤵️

The reason is simple: We don't have 2000 soldiers. European countries need to not only acknowledge the fact that U.S. is no longer an ally, but also the urgent need for rearmament.

I feel like someone has to explain to my fellow Europeans why waiting out Trump is not an option this time around (it wasn't a great idea last time, but very popular), a small thread: 1. Trump is only 1 year into his second term and has already done a lot of damage, to alliances, (1/13)

5. Ignoring all of the above, and hoping against hope that the next US president is a centrist, well meaning and capable leader, Europe would still be on its own. Massive damage has been done to the administrative state already. Institutions disbanded, hollowed out and positions filled with (8/13)

#ukrainianview RUSSIA INVENTS EXCUSES TO WIN OVER TRUMP The latest in a long line of derivative excuses was used on Monday when Trump had his second call with Putin. The later said that Ukraine had attacked one of his residences and he was “pretty upset about it”. Trump later said that this was why

Those who think they stopped the wheel of time are likely to be crushed by it.

as their primary concern! So even IF (and I hope points 1-4 have shown why I think that is a big if) a future administration would like to support our security vis-a-vis Russia and China, the safe and sane bet would be to take care of ourselves and thus be both a better partner for the US (12/13)

and have our position heard internationally. We must not and cannot rely on others to create the world we want to live in. Either we take that responsibility up ourselves or others will make those decisions for us. Not in our interest, but theirs. Rant over. Just my opinion, let's discuss (13/13)

vanity projects, personal corruption and ideological priorities. The world around the US will not have been standing still and America's adversaries will have made good on the opportunities afforded to them. It is more than likely that the next administration will be overburdened with (10/13)

domestic issues, an assertive China and whatever happens with Russia, plus any fires started in Latin Amercia or Africa by the Trump admin. With all that on their plate, it is extremely doubtful that the next president will have any spare capacity to deal with European security (11/13)

loyalists. Competent people have been fired or left government. The divisions in the country have grown and any new administration will be faced with the challenge of dealing with a public service that is both diminished and possibly hostile, reduced capability and years of mal-investment (9/13)

in the right direction. The GOP has a full toolbox from voter suppression to Gerrymandering and partisan courts. 4. Even if the Democrats manage to the the presidency back in 2028, there is currently no way of knowing who it will be. The Biden-style centrists have been utterly discredited (6/13)

with large chunks of the Dem voter base and independents. A return to the world of free trade and open borders seems extremely unlikely and a leftist populist should not be ruled out at this stage. A "Leftist Trump" could be a plausible overcorrection by an electorate frustrated since 2016. (7/13)

hates Europe and the European Union in particular and would prefer a divided Europe that is easier to control piecemeal or just ignore. 3. Everything is based on the assumption that there will be regular, fair and open elections in 2028. That is a big assumption with the current GOP, so (4/13)

what comes after Trump is not settled at all, even with currently lower polling numbers. They are still in their 30s and most discontent is focussed on affordability, not deep seated oppositiion to his policies. But those numbers might not even fully matter if results are nudged (5/13)

national and international institutions, and not least the US government and constitution. We don't know how much further this can go and how certain actors will react to this. There is no reason to assume the world will just coast through this for 3 more years without major effects. (2/13)

2. People calling for Trump's impeachment or hoping for a health related shortened presidency should be aware that in those scenarios, the VP takes over first. So even if (and that is a big if) they manage to remove him from office, the alternative is not better. Vance has shown that he (3/13)

Alternatively that Russia starts seeing military setbacks. That will also make Putin interested in negotiations and on much better terms.
