The interplay between them, Russia, and the US will determine the continent’s future security architecture. French President Macron’s declaration on Wednesday that he’s flirting with extending his country’s nuclear umbrella over other continental allies shows that he’s throwing down the gauntlet to Germany and Poland for leadership of post-conflict Europe. Outgoing German Chancellor […]
Ursula Von Der Leyen, the President of the European Commission has proposed that Europe increase its defense spending by 1.5% GDP over the average 2.0% GDP European countries are currently spending on defense. She fears that Europe has to defend itself and she understands that the United States probably will […]
This scenario is increasingly in America and Russia’s shared interests vis-à-vis their “New Détente”. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban predicted late last month that “Ukraine, or what remains of it, will once again be a buffer zone” between NATO and Russia once the conflict inevitably ends.

There is something deeply moving about the ignorance and scatty nature of politicians. At points, it can even be endearing. In the apparently wide wake left by the mauling of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the press at the Oval Office on February 28, backers of Kyiv’s war […]
The Ukrainian president is not able to communicate on equal terms with political heavyweights. Last week, two European politicians arrived within three days. It’s not hard to guess what they talked about with Trump, but was it successful? Macron was able to convince the American President to accept Zelensky, even […]
Part I At the same time, the President of Ukraine vilifies the Americans at the Munich Conference and says that Europe can no longer rely on cooperation with its former trans-Pacific partner. They say that today we are not talking about the continuation of the Transatlantic Partnership, but about […]

The trips of Europeans, first Duda, and now Macron and Starmer, show that the globalist lobby is still striving to take Trump under control and force him […]
