Polish and Danish leaders signalled openness today to French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to discuss how France’s nuclear deterrent can protect Europe.

^This is a good move. If Europe extends the nuclear umbrella it negates a lot of US leverage.

Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations

We're going to deport people to a fucking warzone? Awesome. Maybe we can just go ahead and remove some limbs ahead of time to speed up the process.

A peace deal for Ukraine should NOT be determined only by the US and Russia — China’s special envoy for European affairs Lu Shaye
“When you look at how the Trump administration has implemented a brazen policy towards Europe, treating its allies in this way, it’s appalling.”

 

^What is going on!? Even China is piling on. Is this just to be antagonistic to the US regardless of what stance we take, or are things so bad even the friend of our enemy is siding with our friends over us? We live in a crazy world.

France has entered the chat, and whoa buddy!!

They’re not holding back 👏🏻💙👊🏼💙

 

^French Senator is not holding back about the abandonment of Ukraine. Sounds like forces are moving to unite typically opposing parties in both UK and France in supporting Ukraine.

The UK and France both are keenly aware of what happens when you give a dictator an inch. And they aren't separated by an ocean, so they can't just play fuck fuck games in their legislatures

Well I guess instead of creating an asylum policy to remedy the wrongs of turning away a ship full of refugees running from Hitler and sending them home to war, torture, and death - we decided we wanted to embrace that tradition and repeat it on a larger scale

See, but if they were rich and had $5M we would welcome them. It is there fault for being poor and in need.

Ok, gotta go, some burmese generals want to look at some Florida properties.

Here is my take on it-

Russia and China have never truly been partners. Their historical relationship is competitive, not cooperative. Covertly supporting Moscow’s war effort (while not giving them enough to achieve an actual battlefield victory) was a strategic play to counter US influence.

Now that it has become clear that the US is hell-bent on self-immolating, the biggest victory they could achieve would be strengthening their economic and political ties with Europe. If they can present themselves as a stable and sane partner, there’s a lot of money and influence to be gained.

TLDR; Russia and the US are busy shooting themselves in the dick, and China is all

100% this.  It's China's best play.  Long game - China has it.

My daughter's 3rd grade class has a Ukrainian boy. Mom, dad, and kid all here since 2022. Lovely family. Guess they have to go back. Maybe I should have them reach out to @HellesBier so he can explain to them why this will be good for them.

We've got a Ukrainian first grader at my school that my daughter is friends with.  Great family as well.  I'm hoping they are able to stay - they are from an area that was under threat.  Thankfully the dad has a work visa (his company does business between Ukraine and the US) so maybe they get to stay.

😯 🇹🇷 Türkiye reportedly says it is ready to send to troops to Ukraine "if necessary"

We are leaving a power vacuum and France and Turkey are stepping up.  Kind of embarrassing, but great that somebody is.

China would love for Russia to collapse.  When Putin dies, they are going to hoover up a lot of stuff.  Not by sending troops over the border, but through financial means.

China has also been dancing around crossing the line that would get them sanctioned, but they have happily tried to buy oil & gas, lumber, etc. at well below-market prices from Russia.

Europe is the US's largest trading partner, and you nailed it - China wants to replace us.
