Die Ukraine ist kein Objekt und auch kein reiner Hilfsempfänger. Wir sollten uns fragen: Für die Sicherheit Europas und für einen möglichen Krieg, würden wir dann wollen, dass die Streitkräfte der Ukraine, die Drohnentechnologien und Drohnenabwehr auf unserer Seite kämpfen?
US security guarantees under Trump will have zero value. None. Trump lies constantly & has a decades-long record of breaching contracts. He says he respects no laws beyond his personal ‘morality.’ Ukraine must not cede a single inch to US-RU pressure & Europe must back them up.

If North Korea or China feared *any* retaliation from the EU or US for NK sending troops to help Russia attack a European ally, they‘d deny it. Instead they‘re bragging about it in PR videos. Western deterrence might as well be a white flag at this point.
"After flooding the streets of the nation's capitol with armed troops, the regime's leader promised to deploy the military to two of the country's largest cities next, both of which are opposition strongholds"

Well Europe, time to take a deep breath, hitch up your pants, roll up your sleeves, and do everything you can to help Ukraine. No one else will. Its not only their freedom on the line--its yours too.

Schonungslose Kritik am Verhalten deutscher bzw. europäischer Politiker bzgl. der Präsidentschaft Trump und des Russland-Ukraine-Krieges: „Ich vermute, dass wir immer noch zu bequem leben und einen „Pearl Harbor“-Moment brauchen, um wirklich aufzuwachen. Aber bis dahin könnte es schon zu spät sein.“
