A piece compares the meeting of Trump, Vance & Zelenskyy with that of der Fuhrer, Ribbentrop and the Czechoslovakian President Emil Hácha in late 1938. Fortunately, the modern day story is going better then that story did.
Trump & Co. are holding talks with Ukrainian opposition figures. Doubt it’ll amount to much, but it shows how opposed to democracy they are. Main opposition figure is (very sensibly) opposed to taking any assistance from the US.
US Special Envoy suggests that the US is engaged in “strategic overreach.” Makes a number of pro-Trump, pro-Russia statements after that.
Europe reaffirms its support for Ukraine.
Turkey wants to join the new NATO that leaves the US out.
Russia ups attacks on truth and media.
Very sensibly, Europe is trying to replace Starlink, which is run by Musk.
French people understand by 73% that the US is no longer on the side of the good guys. Other interesting results.
Trump says explicitly that defending a NATO country depends on whether they’re spending at least 2% of their budget on defense.
Neither Putin nor Trump really understand Ukraine.
A detailed look at Ukraine’s capabilities and theirs and Europe’s chances.
