Good: Starmer, Merz, Macron, Meloni, von der Leyen to join Zelenskyy in Washington to counteract Putin's puppeteering.

@jeffjarvis time to stop begging the nazis for help against the nazis
@jeffjarvis Good to see someone in the world is upholding their Constitution. Good on Z.
@jeffjarvis hmm, that group has an excellent chance to take over the #whitehouse and the whole current #trumpadministration during their upcoming visit. Similar to #themagnificentseven saving a poor town from evil villains. With #JDVance ’locked away’ on a UK holiday, #petehegseth always busy bench pressing & combing his oily hair, #littlemarco not doing whatever he’s doing, as well as #uscongress sent on recess by #christofascist #speakerjohnson, this is a grand opportunity to save America🇺🇸
@jeffjarvis This is the only thing from this week that gives me even a moment of hope.
@jeffjarvis Remember the adage about bringing a knife to a gun fight?
Trump will be bringing a Vance and a Hegseth to a European Union fight.
That's like a plastic knife from a cheap fast food chain.

The Süddeutsche:
The Europeans face the almost impossible task of stopping Putin

Imagine these leaders seeing Washington occupied by troops. They will be alarmed.
We will find out tomorrow whose side Trump is on. Well, we already know: Putin's. But we will find out whether he can be shamed by all Europe into supporting their democracies if not ours.
@jeffjarvis
er... Putin has been stopped, in Ukraine.
Putin has currently been stopped for 3 years, 5 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.
Putin was stopped when he failed to take Kiev in 3 days.
Even longer if we go back to the real start of the war, 2014, when Putin seized Crimea and Russian proxies grabbed part of eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine is the buffer zone.
