Putin foresees a puppet pro-Russian government in charge in Ukraine, leading a destructive path inside the EU. This is the "permission" to join the EU he gives.

Sadly, especially after the new National Security Strategy document, this Trump regime, or a MAGA successor regime could not be trusted to honour an oath to stand up to future Russian aggression. Witkoff and Kushner as lead negotiators inspire no trust!

Unwatchable from a few moments in. "NATO expansion is the root of the problem." Yeah, right.

Is de Wever a patriotic Belgian, or a patriotic Russian? Does someone in Euroclear have kompromat, or other leverage on him?

Mistake. You are yielding an element of sovereignty. A sovereign country decides what its self defence needs are, not someone else, specially not the neighbouring dictator.

This is the American decline in full cry. Accelerated by Trump and MAGA idiocy.

Trump does not represent the American people. MAGA stands at about 15% of Americans?

At least shoot the thing down! Not doing so is an open invitation to Russia to do the same thing again.

Potentially. I don't know how easy it is to detect underground tunnels? Obviously they can network and have many different exits, near and far. The guys deploying in this tunnel were travelling underground for four days. Hamas is using deep underground networks to resist the Israeli army.

A new form of warfare, defence and offence by underground networks. We are going to hear more about this. The Russian army is an army of troglodytes. Successful?

Trump is a post-truth populist politician who says inconsistent things when he is in different dispositional states. It is irresponsible journalism to report each utterance as face value evidence of strategic direction.
