Macron could not be clearer - and the even clearer parts were removed by Politico on the request of the Élysée. In his view, Taiwan is not Europe‘s problem, and Europe should not become „vassals“ of the United States. This brutally undermines his credibility as leader in Europe

Strange - the new German defense minister Pistorius just said on German TV that “a linkage between German and US tanks is not something that I am aware of” while media reports say this is exactly what Scholz is saying in Davos. The saga continues.

This is an astonishing & frustrating update on military, financial & humanitarian aid to Ukraine by @kielinstitute in € billion: „The U.S. is now committing nearly twice [!] as much as all EU countries and institutions combined“ 👉 app.23degrees.io/view/5V9AdDpw1… #ukrainesupporttracker

What’s curious about 🇩🇪 position: it’s almost an insult to its European allies. Out of fear of RUS retaliation, 🇩🇪 only moves if the US - nuclear power on par with RUS - moves. The signal to UK is: If you want to take the risk, go ahead but go it alone. We’re not with you on that

This needs English subtitles. One of the best and strongest reactions and explanations of the situation in Israel, in Gaza, and the role of the Hamas that I have seen, not only in Germany, but also in Europe and internationally - by the Green Vice Chancellor and economics

Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf #Israel ist jetzt bald vier Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert #Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung.

Irritierend pessimistischer und hoffnungsloser Kommentar zu einer beeindruckenden Reise von Zelensky nach Washington.

Once again: this is NOT dual-use Chinese support for Russia anymore. China is building up Russia’s army to be a threat not only to Ukraine, but also to NATO. And the EU has sanctioned the ridiculous number of only ten Chinese mainland companies. Time to wake up.

NEW!!! For the first time, U.S. says, “we actually saw a Chinese company manufacturing a weapon itself for using on the battlefield by Russia, was sent to Russia” to be used in Ukraine. My exchange with DoS Spox 👇🏻

Friedrich Merz, Germany‘s likely new chancellor, just held a remarkable speech on foreign policy - more strategic and far-sighted than many before him. I said this before and I say it again: Berlin will be back. This is an excellent starting point.

Ganz ehrlich: es ist unglaublich, dass diese Argumente überhaupt ausgesprochen werden müssen. Putin überzieht die Ukraine mit brutalsten Krieg, bedroht unsere Gesellschaft u Wirtschaft mit totalem Energieentzug, und den Forderungen des Erpressers wird dann auch noch Raum gegeben

Wer mit dem Gedanken spielt, auf das vergiftete Putin-Angebot betr.NS2 einzugehen, hat geostrategisch nichts verstanden, sabotiert EU/Nato und damit die Grundfesten dt Sicherheitspolitik, und setzt den Rest an dt Reputation u Vertrauenswürdigkeit aufs Spiel. @Lambsdorff @ConStelz

Finally someone is writing this down 👉 “There is just one problem with the assumption that Putin never backs down. It’s incorrect—part of the myth-making that the Russian president has successfully constructed around himself and all-too-easily swallowed”
