A smirking Putin today justified the bloodiest European invasion since WWII by saying he was bored and wanted some “action.” “When everything is stable, we get bored. We want some action.”

Russia has already stopped calling Syrian rebels „terrorists“ and have started calling them „groups of the Syrian opposition with whom contacts are already established“. This is how fast Moscow can arrange with true realities on the ground and this is exactly what will happen when Russia is defeated in Ukraine. There won’t be WW3. There will be true realities on the ground which show that Russian red lines never really existed, only in the heads of weak people.

⚡️ Zelenskyy: There are $300 billion worth of frozen Russian assets. Russia has already caused more than $800 billion worth of damage in Ukraine. Can we take the $300 billion that belongs to us? Can we decide for ourselves what type of weapons we need?

What I read this morning: - this is a wake-up call for Europe - we must now take a deep breath and get to grips with it - 3% for NATO is not enough - we must do it ourselves - we must not waste any time - rich Europe must now support Ukraine - this will be a stressful phase in transatlantic relations You are welcome to add to this.
