Finland knows exactly what Moscow does with borders. That is why this line hits differently. ㅤ President Alexander Stubb said Finland will never recognize occupied Crimea, Donetsk, or Luhansk as part of Russia, and that only Ukrainians can decide the fate of those territories. ㅤ When that comes from Finland, it is not diplomatic wallpaper. It is historical memory saying clearly that Ukraine’s land is not a bargaining chip. ㅤ

Applebaum's piece is worth reading slowly because the specific details are doing work that the summary can't. Danish military commanders - inside a NATO alliance the United States founded - had to sit in a room and war-game whether their forces would shoot down American planes and kill American soldiers. Some of them still haven't fully recovered from running that exercise. The most popular app in Denmark during Applebaum's visit was one that identifies American products so users know not to buy them. NATO has invoked Article 5 exactly once in its history. On behalf of the United States. After September 11th. Allied troops went to Afghanistan and some of them died there. Trump told reporters those allies "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." The families of soldiers who didn't come back heard that. Now Trump is in the middle of a war in the Persian Gulf with the Strait of Hormuz locked, oil prices spiking, and he's telling NATO allies - the same ones he insulted and tariffed and threatened - that he's "demanding" they come help solve a problem his own decisions helped create. Applebaum's conclusion is precise: he doesn't connect what he does on one day to what happens weeks later. Allied leaders have drawn their conclusions. The rupture, as Mark Carney called it, isn't coming. It already happened.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 No ambiguity from Finland "Russia must immediately, completely, and unconditionally withdraw all its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders." - Sanna Marin 🇫🇮 That means everything, Crimea included, not just current frontlines, and it puts the legal baseline exactly where Kyiv has kept it since day one Russia still occupies roughly 15–20% of Ukraine’s territory, but holding it costs billions every month in logistics, pay, fuel, and constant resupply under fire Ukraine keeps raising that cost, slowly, consistently, making “holding” look less sustainable over time

Kustbevakningen har idag, tidigt på morgonen, bordat det misstänkt falskflaggade fartyget Flora 1, strax söder om Ystad. Fartyget kvarhålls och misstänks för miljöbrott efter ett oljeutsläpp öster om Gotland, i svensk ekonomisk zon. Ingripandet har skett i samverkan med berörda myndigheter och förundersökning pågår nu under ledning av åklagare. Den ryska skuggflottan, som består av äldre, bristfälligt försäkrade tankfartyg som kringgår sanktioner, utgör ett betydande säkerhets- och miljöhot. Regeringen ser allvarligt på händelsen även om det den här gången inte är fråga om ett omfattande oljeutsläpp. Enligt uppgifter från Kustbevakningen är bedömningen att utsläppet är någonstans mellan 1,7 och 18 kubikmeter. Ett mer omfattande utsläpp hade kunnat få förödande konsekvenser för marina ekosystem och svenska kuster. Kustbevakningen ser i nuläget ingen överhängande risk att oljan når land och kan vid behov vidta åtgärder för oljesanering. Regeringen fortsätter att följa läget noga och står i nära kontakt med myndigheterna. Foto: Kustbevakningen

Hat off for the amazing Gripen flight show over lake Vättern today!

"Finland will never recognize the occupied Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts as part of Russia... ..only Ukrainians can decide the fate of these territories." - Alexander Stubb He is simply great😉🫡

Americans, Brits, and Russians need to remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine voluntarily surrendered the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world. In exchange, Washington, London, and Moscow pledged to respect Ukraine’s borders

Let’s be absolutely clear about what just happened. The United States of America, the country that built NATO, that spent half a century telling Europe that Russia was the enemy, that asked young men from Normandy to Kabul to die for the idea of a free world, has now chosen Russia. Not drifted toward. Not flirted with. Chosen. Trump calls Putin a genius. Cuts military aid to Ukraine mid-war. Blocks sanctions. Parrots Kremlin talking points about NATO aggression. Invites Lukashenko, Russia’s obedient attack dog, to found a peace board while Russian missiles are still hitting Ukrainian hospitals. The continent that actually shares a border with this threat. That actually absorbs the refugees. That actually lives under the shadow of what happens when Russia decides a neighbor isn’t really a country. Europe was told for eighty years to trust Washington. To buy American weapons. To let American generals run the alliance. To believe that when it really mattered, America would be there. It wasn’t there! It picked the other side and sent an invoice. Normal Americans, the ones who actually believe in something, should understand what this looks like from here. It looks like betrayal. Clean, deliberate, and permanent. Not a misunderstanding. Not a bad week in foreign policy. A choice. Europe is building its own army, its own supply chains, its own future. Because one man wanted to golf with autocrats. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

"We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers.. We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia. We made Ukraine vulnerable. So yes,this is our war." - Bill Clinton 🫡

Marco Rubio: "European leaders have said the war in Iran is not their war. So trump wonders why is the war in Ukraine our war?" Because the U.S. gave Ukraine security guarantees in 1994. That’s why.

The US is no longer the same: Finland’s president on Washington’s new role Alexander Stubb said that America no longer behaves like a “benevolent hegemon” and has become far more unpredictable. According to him, the US at least used to consult allies and the UN before carrying out strikes. In his view, Europe is now left to “save what it can.”
