Wende bei der Migration: Wir schaffen das

Es ist gut, dass die neue Regierung endlich das Zeichen setzt, zum Recht zurückzukehren. Sie ist in der Pflicht, zu handeln.

www.focus.de/politik/krie... Hoffentlich überholen uns nicht die Ereignisse. In Litauen macht man sich Sorgen und zitiert Neitzel ("letzter Sommer in Frieden"). Auf der anderen Seite besteht dann wohl sicher kein Zweifel mehr an der Dringlichkeit und des wahren Gesichts Russland. #donttrustRussia

Kriegsgefahr für Europa schon im Herbst: Experten warnen vor Putin-Manöver

Russland-Expertin warnt bei Miosga vor „echten Kriegsgefahr“ für EU und Nato. Experten blicken mit Sorge auf das geplante „Sapad“-Manöver in Belarus.

Not sure if either one of both is good...

Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...

From DC earlier this week, met a single couragous soul who was visibly demonstrating outside of the White House. For the sake of Ukraine. Waiting to see more of the U.S that stands up for that which is, and just a few weeks ago even in the U.S was, the right thing 🇺🇦🇪🇺

In den baltischen Staaten herrscht die Überzeugung vor: Russland ist auch nach drei Jahren Krieg gegen die Ukraine nicht geschwächt, sondern stärker als zu Beginn des Überfalls. Alle drei Länder sind entschlossen, ihre Unabhängigkeit zu verteidigen. Mein Beitrag auf ntv www.n-tv.de/politik/Der-...

✅️ Agree with Macrons argument that the future of 🇪🇺 (not only EU) has to be decided there and not in 🇺🇲 or 🇷🇺 (normally a no brainer) ❓️ But have to speak about the "final word"... :-)

Macron tonight: - We are entering a new era - Our security is menaced - The Russian menace is here; Russian aggressiveness knows no borders - Who can think today's Russia will stop at Ukraine's borders? - We may need to deploy European troops in Ukraine, once peace is signed (1/x)

Word!

Neues Geld für Verteidigung sollten wir in neuen Strukturen mit Fokus auf neue Technologien ausgeben.

Time for the #Greens (and partly @spdde.bsky.social) to wake up and join the course of political responsibility for our state. Demands for climate protection and social issues are important but not a priority right now. Time to acknowledge that! #responsibility #CDU #Europewithstrength

What a "surprise"! :-) The new self-enthroned - sorry - elected, president of 🇷🇺s proxy wants to be part of the big feast. Another result of Trump's thoughtful policy... #Trump #Ukraine #Belarus

⚡️Lukashenko invites Trump, Zelensky, Putin to hold talks in Minsk. "We'll come to an agreement quietly, without noise, without shouting. So tell Trump: I'm waiting for him here, along with Putin and Zelensky."

⚡️Fox News correspondent claims no Trump mineral deal planned for today. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly told Fox News on March 4 that there are no plans to sign a mineral resources deal with Ukraine following Donald Trump’s speech to Congress.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is to meet this afternoon Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó. Reminder: Rubio had "scheduling issues" when @kajakallas.bsky.social arrived in Washington DC to meet him

Notably, Crosetta is from Meloni's party - a signal where she and Italy might head on the European security questions:

Good overview from Germany’s SPD finance minister Jörg Kukies of the sorts of sums unlocked by Germany’s fiscal Zeitenwende if implemented:

Our/the new "Super M"-moment. This time not Mario but Merz. 😊💪 #Merz #Germany #leadership #CDU

So many calls to remove Zelensky from power, yet not a single demand to replace Putin.

Good points and especially an optimistic look on this.

On defence it’ll be tough, but on much else Europe can reap gains from Trump’s disruption.On trade, by implementing Mercosur.On aid, climate & global south, by filling hole left by US.On int. role of € given market jitters. If we don’t move, others will.Time to think & act big

Very insightful thread to the current discussion. Brings a bit more substance to the partly emotional debate.

Michael Kofman@michaelkofman.bsky.social · last yr.

The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/

Representatives of Georgian opposition (=real winners of last parliamentary elections) are in Riga to inform about current situation. Still struggle + a lot of repressions but political sentiment is changing towards democratic forces.still more support and pressure from 🇪🇺 and the west is needed. 🇬🇪💪

Heard today that this is also supported by some Republicans because of the #Iran-#Russia connection and US' support to #Israel. Strange way of handling complex topics. #Trump #Putin

Moscow expects U.S.-Russia talks to continue and accelerate, with private discussions underway to fast-track a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Not a fan of cynicism, but to read that JD Vance and his family were disturbed by protests at their weekend house, makes me feel a bit better. Not about his struggle but the fact that there are still some right thinking minds in the US. #JDVance #Trump

Lavrov: “The peacekeepers' plan for Ukraine is continuing to incite the Kyiv regime to wage war against us.” Lavrov openly states that he sees peacekeeping as an act of war. A completely upside down vision of the world. Does this sound like Russia wants peace?

Next step in the Trump-Putin saga. A clear ⚠️ to 🇪🇺 and especially 🇩🇪-leaders! This has to be stopped!! #Nordstream2 #Trump #Warnig bild.de/politik/ausl...

"...for that I will present a comprehensive plan to the leaders on how to rearm Europe on 6 March when we have our European Council."

Indeed @bctallis.bsky.social ! The keyword is "meaningful" (=survival of Ukraine and our way of living)

Benjamin Tallis@bctallis.bsky.social · last yr.

It is essential that the London summit on Sunday delivers meaningful, tangible outcomes, No more talk, Europe, #JustDoIt - Plan (w money & weapons) to win in Ukraine - Seize Russian assets - Plan (& money) to rearm Europe. fast - Plan to defend Europe without US (incl. nukes)

It is disappointing and hopefully the last time that 🇱🇹🇱🇻+🇪🇪 were not invited to London today. The Baltics are substantial and strong supporters of 🇺🇦 and whole 🇪🇺ean security. It's more than time to recognize this.
