European leaders appear shocked about US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine. He did so in a call with Vladimir Putin and by echoing Russia’s priorities: no Nato membership, and Ukraine will lose control of the eastern part of the country and Crimea, and reducing its presence in Europe.
Trump, who admires dictators like Putin, made these conditions without notifying the EU never mind Ukraine.
As Europe awakens from its initial shock, Europe has only itself to blame for not shielding itself against the Trump menace spreading globally in the form of turning Canada into the 51st state, taking over Greenland and the Panama Canal, and its infamous Gaza plan to ethnically cleanse million and turn it into a “Riviera.”
While all of these measures are a sign of nationalist exceptionalism, in truth they are a sign of weakness. Trump will end up destroying the US in the same way as he bankrupted almost all of his companies.
His re-election is a sign of the deep-seated corruption in the US and how it has gotten the upper hand through the likes of billionares like Elon Musk. Anti-trust regulators are toothless and it shows!
Dispair is not the way to beat this cancer.
We must fight on and use any means available to stop the destruction of our democracy and way of life.
Prime Minister Petter Orpo’s and Alexander Stubb’s response to what is happening globally ensures that the Trump administration stands a good chance of succeeding.
How does Finland look after all of its tough talk against Russia?
It looks vulnerable. Trump does not care he wants to be on top with everyone looking like a horse’s ass.
