    I hear Democrats say Trump voters will regret once Trump's tariffs devastate 🇺🇸economy & raise consumer prices. But take it from Brits, people don't acknowledge they erred in a vote even after economic consequences. They'll always find others to blame than themselves. 🇬🇧#Brexit

    #NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 after 9/11. As a result, 1,105 European & Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan War - 1/3 of coalition casualties. I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help.

    🇸🇪#Sweden and 🇫🇮#Finland's prime ministers have just held a joint press conference outlining plans to join #NATO. 🇫🇮 expected to move first. PM Marin says she won't give a timetable but "it will happen quite fast—within weeks, not within months, we will have the discussion"

    I keep seeing the line 'EU is having vaccine problems because it was too slow in negotiating contracts' repeated in 🇬🇧&🇺🇸 media. I want to push back on this narrative because I think it's missing where real EU-level mistakes lie. Let's review what happened in past year (🧵1/17)

    An obvious disconnect here at this NATO summit: 🇺🇸Hegseth tells defence ministers that Europe should take control of its own security. 🇪🇺Then he tells Europe to step aside while Trump takes control of their security for them through bilateral 🇺🇦negotiations with Putin.

    The other election in Europe today. It looks like Slovenia's populist Trump/Orban-admiring prime minister Janez Jansa has been defeated by the newly formed green-liberal Freedom Movement.

    Talking to my Canadian friends, it has clearly not gone unnoticed over there that the EU seems to be showing more solidarity with Canada on Trump's trade threats than the UK, with whom Canada shares a monarch.

    🇬🇧 officials were apparently expecting @BorisJohnson to be invited to Thursday's 🇪🇺#EUCO summit with @POTUS (whether Johnson would have accepted was unknown). But after he compared #Ukraine's self-defence against Russia with #Brexit, EU has not extended any invitation today.
