I believe they should do that as well, if only because it would be a political boost to some of them, turn the narrative around on parties like Reform UK, AfD, etc. They don't have their countries best interests at heart, they're up the ass and bending over backwards for America who is currently attacking their country via tariffs, interfering in our elections, trying to force us to follow them and throwing us to the wolves with Russia.

How can you claim to be a nationalist like some of these parties but sell your country out to the interests of America. In the same way these dudes manipulate people by blaming immigrants for everyone's problems, the centre/left should in turn start blaming America for our problems, I'm sorry to say, hate unites people more and America is giving people good reasons to hate them. European Unity should be the political statement.

To add to this, a reminder that India is an ally of Russia, even more so than Türkiye, and yet Türkiye was blocked from purchasing F-35s over security concerns due to them also acquiring Russia's S-400 AD systems. Guess who has S-400 AD systems? *drumroll* India and worse yet, India isn't even in NATO so America's concerns applied to Türkiye (a NATO member) but not India (a Russian ally).

Double Standards? U.S. Treats S-400 Users Türkiye and India Very Differently on F-35 Sales

If I'm being honest, I wouldn't sell the F-35 to either of them, I don't trust Türkiye or India but the double standards are astonishing and quite frightening at how incompetent the Trump administration is, the F-35's secrets are about to be handed on a silver platter to Russia, Lmao. They'll probably test it alongside S-400 and send Russia the data

Questions for Germans.

1. What are the odds of the Conservative dude winning?
2. Which parties is he most likely going to partner with?
3. Do you believe his talk on being tougher against Russia than Scholz?

Annalena Baerbock always seemed tougher than Scholz too and she's from the dang Greens.

Shame to see a Conservative win but I'll take him not being a Russian stooge.

The US and Russia opposed inviting Ukraine to today’s talks, despite Saudi Arabia’s proposal, Bloomberg reports. Zelensky called it a "surprise".

It just keeps getting worse, WTF.

At this point America is an enemy of Europe, blatantly trying to boot Ukraine out of negotiations over its own damn country! This is exactly how Trump negotiated with the Taliban and completely ignored the Afghan Government. He is so desperate for "peace" that he is willing to throw Ukraine to slaughter and I bet America's media won't question it or attack him for it.

Trump is a fucking scumbag and so are all his supporters, I hope they suffer half as much as Ukrainians have.

Trump at this stage is far worse than Neville Chamberlain. Every single country that relies on America for defence needs to move on from America now. Every Republican that isn't fighting alongside the Democrats right now as well can eat shit, I don't care if you're a coward or "Trump's our leader" if you sit back and do nothing then you're just as much of a scumbag as Trump.

This isn't incompetence.  It's underhanded tactics disguised as the appearance of being a pro-american business deal.  

When this shows up at congress, they will have a shitfit over this.  

It also seems that any peacekeeper forces will have to be sent by individual nations.  I know that NATO won't let that pass through, and perhaps the EU won't as well.   

It's a sad day when Saudi Arabia is trying to be the grown-up in the room. Saudi Arabia should tell Zelenskyy to show up anyway and let Trump and Putin pout because he interrupted their romantic getaway with actual business. They should tell Trump to go fuck himself if he objects.

If EU lets Ukraine fall, if they let America backstab us and give the fascists what they want, then Europe will go to war someday in the future, it's as simple as that. Time for Europe to wake the fuck up, defeat Russia now or have a direct war with Russia later (without America's support). I'm already assuming that UK will be at war with Russia in my lifetime at this stage unless we stop this now. No point in history has caving to imperialists and giving them what they wanted prevented further bloodshed. Pick up a fucking history book for fuck sake.
