Not unexpectedly, JD Vance took the stage today in Münich to support the German far-right (neonazi) AfD party and Russian interference in Romanian elections.
Not a word on Ukraine. Just telling us Europeans to let the nazis & ruschist out of the cage.
We built that cage for a reason.
@gimulnautti #EUSovereignity exactly. The US is now an adversary.
@GeraintLlanfrancheta We now have a Russia on both sides, it seems.
One advanced Russia, another just starting.
@GeraintLlanfrancheta What Trump is saying on Ukraine right now feels more like Putin is wearing a Trump-mask:
”They need to make peace, that was not a good war to go into”
(The Russians) ”fought for that land and lost a lot of soldiers.”
Fuck this.
You go on to party with the Saudis & Putin in Riadh, motherfucker. Kick us to the curb, FAFO!
@gimulnautti i was never a fan of anything nuclear, but now the landscape is changing so fast, we need to adapt to survive. We need our own detterrent - no easy undertaking, man historic animosities to take into account. A Nordic alliance could share, and IF Germany has one, Poland must have too. Around this imo something could be drawn up. (NL, BE and IT would have then #nuclear sharing).
@GeraintLlanfrancheta @gimulnautti We need a shared EU nuclear capability IMO.
@VojtechHorky @gimulnautti I agree. *devil is the detail, but we should start now.
@GeraintLlanfrancheta @VojtechHorky The thing for me is, the different types of people:
1) Those who get their hard on from the power weapons bring
2) Those who drudgingly conclude weapons must be acquired and war rehearsed, but hope to never actually use them
3) Silly well-meaning people who don’t acknowledge the above difference exists. And sliding between these categories does happen, and is dangerous.
But there is a difference. Which we must guard with intent.
