This is the kind of folly you get kudos for from big, not too bright moustachioed men in a bar in somewhere southern Louisiana. But this dumbness will reverberate around the globe. At some point the USA is going to need allies. Maybe they won't come calling.

Only two groups of people were happy with this speech: neo-Nazis and Putin and his anti-democratic cronies. Absolutely no one else.
Oh, and if you're in #Taiwan? Time for you to get really, really worried.

.@joshposaner re: your piece on European patriots - could you name the 19 European countries that have Patriots please, because last time I checked checked there were only 7 Patriot-owning countries on the European continent - and I checked last week 🤔

To Russia, territory is a strategic asset. It accepts temporarily strategic retreats in return for time. And so, as expected, #Russia is in no rush to reconquer the territories lost in the #Kursk region; it will press on in Eastern #Ukraine.

The internecine feuding between the governing parties in Germany continues. Lindner (finance minister, FDP) wants to cut aid to #Ukraine, Habeck (Greens, economic affairs) doesn’t, Scholz (chancellor) is trying to figure out which position helps him most

Rumours that Germany stops its support to #Ukraine are wrong. We stand with Ukraine & will support Ukraine as long as it takes.
Since the beginning of Russia’s war of aggression, 🇩🇪 has supported 🇺🇦 with €34 billion. This year, we will provide military aid north of €7 billion.

It’s really quite simple.
Americans demand that foreign companies operating in the US abide by US laws, period.
Europeans demand that foreign companies operating within the European Union abide by EU laws, period.
This isn’t rocket science.

BREAKING: The European Union has issued a formal letter to Elon Musk, demanding that he censor Donald Trump in their upcoming interview.
The EU warns of "legal obligations" if Musk does not take action to prevent the spread of "disinformation."

😳 Lol 🚁 Russian Ka-52 helicopter pilot mistakenly fired on his own column in Kursk region: Two "Msta-S" howitzers destroyed.
🤡 Russian propagandists have already presented it as the destruction of the Ukrainian column.
This. The strategy.
“We will have some of their land to trade for our land.”
Still don’t think this will entice Putin to give up its gains in eastern #Ukraine in negotiations. He will demand Ukraine retreat first and until that time, no negotiations. Time is on his side. 1/2
🇺🇦 "We entered Russian territory for the first time at 1pm on Tuesday," AFU soldier said, - FT
❗️"We can fight here and take their territory. And then negotiations can start, and we will have some their land to trade for our land."
☠️ "We killed many of them on the first day!"

Then #Ukraine will be faced with a tough decision. Will it just sit there, on the soil it captured, and go back to taking punches from Russia? Or does it push on, needing more reserves and stretching their supply lines beyond their limits? Russia has limitless soil to give. 2/2

Ukraine now has the initiative and is, for the first time since February 2022, forcing Putin to fight the war on Ukrainian terms. Meanwhile, Ukraine is creating the bargaining chips it needs for a brokered peace deal, which Zelensky said he wants to see happen in November. 19/20
