Meanwhile over the weekend, the US government sent a letter threatening France, Australia, the UK, and Canada if they recognized Palestinian statehood. Despite US warnings of “punitive measures,” they proceeded with recognition.

"Are you a Russian asset? – I'll let you know in about a month, ok ? "

This is a very unpopular opinion but I think it’s a bit funny how Russia is so hell bent on being at war with us and we simply refuse to be at war with them

The "cold war" is definitely warming up a lot and pretty fast...

@umland.bsky.social: “The Cold War in Europe until 1989 remained cold, not because the West was cautious and Germany was peaceful, but because NATO stood united and resolutely confronted Moscow, responding to every provocation with an adequate counteraction.” ⤵️

🇩🇪❗️🇺🇸 Germany’s €83 billion defense plan sends less than 10% to US weapons, with nearly all major contracts; frigates, Eurofighters, air defenses, armored vehicles going to EU suppliers, - Politico 👀 Only limited buys like Patriot missiles and P-8A torpedoes come from USA.

Very insightful factual article about Belgian workforce. What would happen if taxes were taken on the work address rather than the living address ? Brussels would be much richer! Keep it up @brusselstimes.com !

"If NATO was doing its job, and the Poles were confident NATO can defend Polish air space, the Polish Defense Minister wouldn’t have come to Kyiv to set up an air defense coordination group with the Ukrainians." It's pretty clear now NATO is useless, clueless and headless.

Le saviez-vous ? L'interruption par le gouvernement fédéral de son soutien au plan "grand froid" dans les cinq grandes villes du pays va lui permettre d'économiser jusqu'à environ 0,0001% de son budget annuel. Pas mal, non ?

I had a job selling security alarms door to door, and I must admit I was their best salesman. If nobody was home, I just left a brochure on the kitchen table. #dadjoke

Impose a total embargo on the Russian invaders. Support Ukrainian defenders with everything we’ve got. Ukraine will win the war.

Strombe, au lit !

Hi All, Just released my latest free weekend update. The big story of the last month was not the original Russian infiltration near Pokrovsk--but the speed and effectiveness with which Ukraine reacted to it. The Russian military could not do what the Ukrainians did. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Another russian drone detected in Poland, - Polish media reports

The US ceased to be a reliable NATO ally on January 20, 2025. The last week has simply made that undeniable. The only question now is whether European leaders accept it. The USA will not now defend Europe from Russia. That is reality. Everything else is hopes and dreams.

This is the message every European leader should be delivering to their population. Denmark has been doing a lot to help Ukraine, including supporting defence production in Ukraine.

funny how Ukraine is doing what NATO is supposed to: warn Poland of incoming drones...

The Ukrainian approach to sanctions is much more effective than the European Union 😂

Méfions nous aussi en Belgique de cette tendance des politiciens à vouloir mettre des militaires dans nos rues... Surtout quand les statistiques de la criminalité contredisent le "sentiment d'insécurité grandissant". sentiment ≠ réalité

Good news

I like how Andrew's words punch the moronic Vance, Hegsbeth right on their prostates 💅

Threatens Denmark with Greenland annexation. Threatens Australian journalist. Threatens own media. DOJ threatens the opposition. On the other hand, lifts sanctions from Belarus and rolls out the red carpet for Putin. I don’t think this is the end, and the damage done will be very difficult to undo.

TIL that a curfew is also a literal object! the word has its roots in the French couvrefeu - "cover fire" - and was used to denote a bell rung to warn people to cover their fires overnight to prevent the outbreak of flames between wooden houses. a curfew was a bell-shaped cover for embers!

Woooooooooooot! 💙💛💙💛💙💛

Excellent video by the UK Green party! @ecolo.be @marinetondelier.fr

Before he passed, Prince was working on a new song about the long tenure of Pope Francis. He was going to call it "Papal Reign." #dadjoke

In Brussels most smaller birds have disappeared because of the density of cats. We're stuck with pigeons, crows and magpies. Cats are cute, but... keep them indoor!

Trump using China as a model to be followed by the USA is very reassuring...

Hey NATO, perhaps you should chip in (and ask Ukraine to build one for yourself) u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel

President of Finland, Stubb: "There is an imperialist DNA and foundation in Russia that seems persistent. I don't have much hope for Russia's future."

"US support to Ukraine in 2025 is roughly on the level of Spain or Lithuania."

"NATO, dedicated to deterring Russian military aggression, is now seeking military assistance and advice from Ukraine, the very country NATO is refusing to allow into the alliance because of concerns about potential Russian aggression, to help NATO defend itself from actual Russia aggression."
