Given the Trump administration’s recent statements and policy pronouncements, European leaders no longer have any excuse for failing to map out their own long-term security strategy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/30/world/decision-time-for-europe-on-ukraine/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #volodymyrzelenskyy #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #europe #eu #nato #us #donaldtrump

#39c3 - ich hoffe, Ihr lasst Euch nicht vor den Karren der #Kriegstauglichkeit spannen und geht entschlossen gegen den #KI und #Drohnen Aufbau in unserem Land und der #EU vor! Am Ende ist der Kampf gegen das Militär und gegen die #NATO ein Kampf für internationale Solidarität und gegen die #fckafd ! Denn KI erhöht die Mordraten auf den Schlachtfeldern der Welt (erklärtes Ziel der NATO).

French President Emmanuel #Macron said Kyiv’s allies will meet in #Paris in early January to “finalize each country’s concrete contributions” to the #security guarantees.
#Trump said he would consider extending #US security guarantees for #Ukraine beyond 15 years, according to #Zelensky. The guarantees would be approved by the US #Congress as well as by parliaments in other countries involved in overseeing any settlement, he said.

Details of the #security guarantees have not become public but #Zelensky said Monday that they include how a peace deal would be monitored as well as the “presence” of partners. He didn’t elaborate, but #Russia has said it won’t accept the deployment in #Ukraine of troops from #NATO countries.
Kremlin spox Dmitry #Peskov said Monday that Russian President Vladimir #Putin & #Trump were expected to speak in the near future but there was no indication the Russian leader would speak to Zelensky.

US National Security Archive has declassified a very interesting stenogram from 6 April 2008 talks between #Putin and Bush.
Putin first expressed his opposition to anti-missile bases in #Poland and #CzechRepublic because he wants to “see what’s targeted against us” (as a reminer, anti-missile systems are targeted against incoming missiles).
But then he moves to the core issue and simply says it’s not about #Ukraine being in #NATO or not, but about Ukraine willing to move to the “Western world” that is his problem”.
Relying on the anti-NATO forces in Ukraine, Russia would be working on stripping NATO of the possibility of enlarging. Russia would be creating problems there all the time. What for? What is the meaning of Ukrainian membership in NATO? What benefit is there for NA.TO and the U.S.? There can be only one reason for it and that would be to cement Ukraine’s status as in the Western world and that would be the logic.
Apparently understanding how stupid that sounds to Bush, Putin then switches to his usual ramblings about “Lenin gave Ukraine this, Khruschev gave them that and besides that it was always Russian lands”. Note, he used this argument already in 2008 and seems to be absolutely convinced that some historic revisionism gives him some kind of entitlement to a whole country, with which he signed a Friendship Agreement only a few years before.

Now #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.
There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.
Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.
It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole — selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty — issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.
Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.
This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.
He must be stopped.

@Tutanota I've mentioned this before but SimpleX is more private secure and anonymous that signal threema and session.
SimpleX is decentralised meaning taking down a single group of servers or org wouldnt destroy the simplex network, people can run completely anonymous simplex servers over tor, this puts simplex ahead of Signal and Threema
SimpleX has quantum resistant encryption which puts it ahead of Threema and Session, the UK military[1] and NATO[2] both consider quantum computers to be a threat now because of store now decrypt later attacks
SimpleX has no user identifiers not even random strings, its essentially like having a "burner phone for every contact". Two or more compromised contacts could corroborate your messages by linking them to your signal username or your session id, but with simplex your contacts can't prove your identity even between eachother. This fact puts SimpleX above Signal Threema and Session
These technical details about the simplex protocol can all be found on the project website including the whitepaper[3]

"So these are some very dramatic statements that have raised deep questions about whether there is any foundation for #NATO to function going forward" — @anderspuck
Well, indeed. #NATO has always been primarily a vehicle for the projection of #US power in the world. As some countries in #Europe (the #UK being a notable exception) gain the confidence to diverge from US foreign policy, the alliance must fail.

"Trump has now formulated a new racism expressed in [the National Security Strategy] document as 'civilizational.' He states outright that Europe and our NATO allies are facing 'civilizational erasure' by allowing immigration from other countries that go unnamed but are clearly not 'European.' This is formulating the Great Replacement Theory as U.S. national policy."

The Trump administration wants to help “its
political allies” on the far Right “restore their
former greatness.” Just a reminder that the
last time that they were in power across the
continent was the 1930s & 40s. Tucker
Carlson notwithstanding, | maintain that that
period wasn't all that great.

on the far Right should note that the U.S. now
seeks regime change in their country;
basically seeks to depose them. US strategy
is to support the political forces that threaten
liberal democracy in Europe.
