RT @shashj: Obviously this is performative. But let’s not pretend this sort of lunacy won’t be affecting intelligence assessments that land on the president’s desk (leave aside if he reads them). I’ve already heard reports that career officials are afraid to push particular intel upwards. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1895629885671956838#m

What shouldn't be discounted, or written off as impossible, is a unilateral European coalition of the willing deployment to rear areas in Ukraine, akin to what Macron has spoken about in the past.
As I said above: The risk free days are gone.

@wartranslated: It’s pretty clear Vance planned and instigated all of this. He has hated Zelensky and Ukraine for months, and was waiting for this moment to publicly go after him. Zelensky asked him Vance a simple question, how can you do diplomacy with terrorists? Vance made it into an argument

RT @AmbJohnBolton: Trump has put the US on the wrong side of the Russia-Ukraine war and it's shameful. He is every day making it more and more difficult to pull the West back together. After his term, the U.S. will need to convince our allies that we are dependable and still a nation of normal people.

RT @TimothyDSnyder: Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

RT @BernieSanders: After years of Republicans talking about “freedom,” is there ONE Republican in Congress prepared to stand with Ukraine and democracy?
Or do they ALL agree with Trump that Vladimir Putin, a blood-thirsty dictator, is our ally in this horrific war that he started.

The Russians are unlikely to agree to European troops on the ground in a negotiation process, as the recent debate has been about.
Therefore it is possible to take the initiative and deploy ahead of any negotiations.

If one goes down this particular road, one must be aware of where it might lead, and be ready for that.
I'm not advocating for a unilateral deployment here, but describing an option that should be explored, not simply discarded as too dangerous at the outset.

If European leaders, Norwegian included, really mean what they have been saying, that the outcome of the war is critical for our security and taking into consideration where we actually are today, one also needs to look seriously at the really uncomfortable courses of action.

@OCastellarnauD @MaximeTrekLis: I am of the opinion that one SSBN worth of warheads, whether French, British, US or Russian, is enough to deliver unacceptable damage.
But we are then talking about counter value targeting, not damage limitation.

RT @emilkastehelmi: Europe must prepare for the worst-case scenario, where the security architecture of the whole continent will be reshaped. It's still too early to say what exactly will be affected by yesterday's diplomatic disaster and how quickly, but the damage is likely very significant. 1/

RT @DarthPutinKGB: Zelensky must have been surprised. He went to Whitehouse and ended up speaking to Kremlin.

@OCastellarnauD @MaximeTrekLis: Both the French and the British maintain a continuous at sea patrol. Those are about as secure as nuclear weapons can be.
The Royal Navy would struggle with a crisis surge but the French demonstrated they could do it in the early days of the invasion, 2022.
