What an unbelievable shame for mankind and justice this is😡: "Donald Trump’s administration .. will not finish spending $400m in aid to Ukraine until [.] 2029 [.] Democrats and [.] Republicans have criticised the Pentagon for sitting on aid for Kyiv. The funds still have not been put to use".
Trump c.s. with their reckless war on Iran achieved: 1. a NATO weakened by Trump's accusations and grieves 2. people being killed, wounded and/or homeless 3. that Iran is now capable of blackmailing international trade 4. Iran's hatred against the west and US rose 5. Financially it's a disaster 😤😭
The question is EU/NATO, whether you want to be a puppet of this arrogant, selfish, insulting, power abusing and greedy megalomaniac US president or to stand on your own feet and be a strong, futureproof, unbound coalition with equal thinking parties. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
