Prof. John Mearsheimer : A number of European leaders have basically said we should fight to the last Ukrainian, which I find morally sickening. The Ukrainians are going to lose this war. They should have quit a long time ago for their own good. Ukraine is in a demographic death spiral, and we're encouraging them to throw bodies into the meat grinder when they're going to lose anyway. The British, French, and German leaders are really enthusiastic about continuing the war, but that's because their people are not dying.

That’s quite clear now that Europe is preparing for a future without the US. Where America is no longer the center of the Western alliance. Trump spent years demanding loyalty from allies. Instead, Europe is slowly building systems designed to function without Washington, FP. 1/

🇭🇺📞 According to The Washington Post, Szijjarto called Moscow during EU meetings and relayed details of the discussions to Lavrov. According to sources, such communication actually gave Russia the opportunity to be aware of the internal discussions of the EU. Szijjarto himself does not comment on the situation.

Just sent out this free piece. Marco Rubio just called on tolerant, democratic, liberal Europe to destroy itself and embrace a Trump-like future. He received a standing ovation and we are told some people are reassured. If so, Europe will deserve everything coming its way.

Poland won't applaud Trump’s vanity project, the Nobel Peace Prize. Today a major diplomatic row broke out between the U.S. and Poland because Włodzimierz Czarzasty (the Speaker of the Sejm) took a very public stand against Donald Trump. The catalyst was a formal request from U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Israeli Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, asking international leaders to co-sign a nomination for Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Czarzasty flatly refused. U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose responded by blacklisting Czarzasty, declaring that the U.S. Embassy would have "no further dealings, contacts, or communications" with him effective immediately. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk joined the fray, telling the U.S. Ambassador that "allies should respect, not lecture, each other. Roman Giertych then wrote a letter (see in the comments), escalating the rhetoric by comparing the demand for the Nobel Prize to the vanity of the Emperor Nero. Here is what Włodzimierz Czarzasty said: Włodzimierz Czarzasty: “Building new platforms like the 'Peace Council' by the United States is, in my opinion, deceptive. We must strengthen the European Union, NATO, the UN, and the WHO. Our security lies there. President Trump, in my opinion, destabilises these organisations by representing a policy of force and conducting transactional politics. This often breaks principles, values, and international law. His interpretation of history—for example, regarding the participation of Polish soldiers on missions—and his instrumental treatment of other territories, like Greenland, means I will not support the Nobel request for President Trump. He does not deserve it."

Steve Bannon has actively undermined European democracy for over 10 years. He was involved in Cambridge Analytica and Brexit, a close associate of Epstein, and has promoted the illiberal movement in several European countries. Time to sanction this convicted con man.
