@concious_a @J_JHelin: The US doesn't have to formally pull out of NATO to enable some pretty grim scenarios.
It is enough to weaken the US commitment, especially in the minds of the Russians, and that's the road we currently are on.

@concious_a @J_JHelin: I hope the Republicans would push back, but they have been rather quiet so far, and hope is a poor strategy for dealing with potential existential threats.

RT @joshrogin: What Elon fails to understand is that these moral questions about the future of Ukraine belong to the Ukrainian people -and they don’t think their survival is a bad bet or lost cause. We can abandon them, but we can’t surrender for them. They will fight with or without our help.

Elon Musk (@elonmusk)
There have been two years of death in trenches for no meaningful changes in the borders. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent, with much it going to feed corruption.
The fundamental moral question is this:
How many more years of death in trenches…

RT @J_JHelin: I think all of @The_Lookout_N's points also apply to Finland.
Will the US stop guaranteeing our security? We can't know and hopefully it won't.
But we must start preparing for the worst case scenario where the United States is no longer a deterrent against Russian imperialism.

Trump 2 isn't Trump 1.
While the day to day working level relationship could remain stable, the new uncertainty is political, and both the uncertainty and the risks will increase with increasing tensions.
Therefore we need to hedge our…

RT @AzovMedical: ❗️Унікальні кадри порятунку бійця в траншеї. Скид крові з дрона для «червоного».
Боєць 12-ої бригади «Азов» отримав надважке уламкове поранення в шию.
Велика крововтрата, ускладнена евакуація, мінімальні шанси вижити – через такі умови медики пішли на радикальне рішення.

RT @OSINTua: This picture for me is the most representative from Kursk oblast.
I was there since October 24 till January 25. And I have never seen such a big amount of destroyed the most modern vehicles from Russian and Ukrainian side in one place.
Destroyed RU MRAP and abandoned UA MRAP.

RT @shashj: A few points in response to the vice president.
- I’ve been writing on this war for three years. I (and my colleagues) have never been afraid of candidly reporting on Ukraine’s deficiencies in firepower & manpower. That hasn’t always made us popular.
- Numerical disadvantages are not always decisive. Russia’s artillery advantage has narrowed considerably while it remains on the offensive. Its advantages have translated into desultory territorial gains at massive human cost, which will necessitate painful political trade-offs down the line. As @Jack_Watling recently noted, the margin of Russia’s advantage is thin (source: )
- That is why, with continued assistance - assistance that is & has for sometime been majority supplied *by Europe*, notwithstanding the administration’s lies - Ukraine can remain on the strategic defensive at modest financial cost to allies. Its position is difficult but not dire. Anyone who wants a robust deal should want to narrow Russia’s margin of advantage as quickly and effectively as possible.
- This is not some pie in sky outsider judgment. It was American generals in EUCOM & in DoD who worked with Ukraine to develop a plan to this end in October, a plan which was agreed during Lloyd Austin’s visit to Kyiv. That plan required Ukraine to make certain choices around the allocation of resources (i.e not over-committing in Kursk or feeding troops piecemeal to the front) but it took into account Ukraine’s manpower problems.
- Where I partially agree with Vance is that Ukraine does not have an obvious pathway to victory in the sense of restoring the strategic offensive and complete territorial restitution. I won’t criticise the admin for exploring & seeking a negotiated end to the war. But rushing into a bad deal & telegraphing your desperation for one weakens both America’s hand & that of Ukraine.
- America has started these negotiations by extorting Ukraine for minerals and attacking its president. Where is the heightened political, economic or military pressure on Russia? Why is it absent? Abusing the press isn’t an answer to these questions.
- Vance is also wrong in his claim to @nfergus that the US has given nothing up. An invitation back to G7, mutual presidential visits, vicious & dishonest attacks on the elected Ukrainian present, blocking G7 statements on Russian aggression - these are all gifts to the Kremlin. There are no good reasons to do these things right now other than desperation for a deal & normalisation.
- I’m actually grateful to Vance for engaging on these matters rather than resorting to bland diplospeak. https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/1892978117335011576#m

As the US walks away, Europe needs to step up for Ukraine. But does it have the will?
Russia is relying on strength of numbers, and Putin may not honour a peace deal

“World power” yet they have 90% of their military inside Ukraine. Not a single aircraft carrier. Lost total control of Syria in two weeks. A GDP less than the State of Texas
A world power that can’t take 1% of Ukraine in an entire year
