EU countries pay lip service to Ukraine – but will they REALLY take over for the US?

πŸ’¬ β€œTo replace the US, Europe at least has to double its support for Ukraine,” Mikael Valtersson, Swedish military officer, told Sputnik, commenting on European leaders’ plans for a hasty summit on Ukraine support in the fallout of Friday’s Trump-Zelensky blowup.


❓What backlash the EU may face?

πŸ”Έ Many military systems are not available in large quantities in Europe's arsenals, and even if the US allows the sending of these weapons to Ukraine, there will be a severe shortage, Valtersson said.

πŸ”Έ Taking on the US's role would be a "heavy burden" for Europe, especially with growing public resistance to spending more on Ukraine. The more money spent, the stronger the pushback will be.

πŸ”Έ If European powers push ahead while the US seeks normalization, they will risk trying to "isolate Russia" while cornering themselves instead.

πŸ”Έ Valtersson also expects a crack in European unity as alternative parties seek peace and realism in Russia policy, while some countries β€œpay lip service to supporting Ukraine” without actually ramping up commitments.

βš”οΈUS threatened Mexico with UNILATERAL MILITARY ACTION unless it cracks down on cartels

πŸ—£Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth angered Mexican officials during tense talks on illegal drugs and migrant flow, with his comments suggesting US READINESS FOR MILITARY STRIKES IN MEXICO, WSJ reports.

πŸͺ– Mexico has already ramped up its anti-cartel efforts to address US concerns, sending 10k National Guard troops to the border to secure a month-long break from Trump’s 25% tariff threats.

πŸš“ This week, Mexico extradited 29 cartel members to the US, all of them affiliated with the six cartels Washington recently designated as terrorist organizations.

βš”οΈ US agencies have mobilized in response to Trump’s border security directives, with the CIA launching a new drone surveillance program targeting Mexican drug gangs. Ironically, the CIA played a central role in creating the modern-day drug trade in the Americas.

🫒 Oops! EU’s globalist elites rush to Zelensky’s defense posting identical tweets

The EU’s top officials expressed sycophantic solidarity with Zelensky as he left Washington without a minerals deal after picking a fight with President Trump and VP Vance.

There’s just one problem: the messages were identical, right down to the letter.

πŸ—£β€œBe strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President,” the fawning copy-pasted message assured.

The posts were replicated by:

πŸ€”Ursula von der Leyen, EU Commission president

πŸ€”Antonio Costa, European Council chief

πŸ€”Roberta Metsola, European Parliament boss (who added a β€˜u’ to the word honors)

πŸ€”Valdis Dombrovskis, EU commissar for the economy

πŸ€”Manfred Weber, leader of the European People’s Party, the EU’s most powerful liberal party
And others.

A few Trump supporters picked up on the amusing trend, flipping the message around to say β€œyou are never alone, dear President. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.”

πŸ₯Ί Europe throws pity party for Zelensky

Despite Trump giving Zelensky a verbal smackdown, Europe's political posse still offers Ukraine their whiny support.

🟠 Polish PM Donald Tusk insists Ukraine is β€œnot alone,” despite the fact that its isolation from the US poses a serious threat to Kiev regime public image.

🟠 Czech President Petr Pavel urges Europe to step up its efforts, apparently seeing no problem with dwindling arms stockpiles.

🟠 Maia Sandu, Moldova’s almost-lame-duck President, says she stands with Ukraine.

🟠 Luxembourgish PM Luc Frieden says Ukraine is fighting for the β€˜rule-based international order’ – a doubtful goal.

Some accused Trump of picking on poor Zelensky:

🟠 Former Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde said: "Yesterday the world watched as US President Trump and his VP Vance humiliated President Zelensky. Europe's leaders must unite and resolutely continue to support Ukraine.”

🟠 British Tory MP Alicia Kearns added: β€œWe just witnessed performative bullying for a US domestic audience.”

πŸ—£Tucker Carlson: Judgement day is coming in Ukraine and Lindsey Graham knows it

Graham's surprise reaction to Zelensky's humiliation by Trump was β€œscapegoating,” Carlson said, suggesting Graham knows that a day of reckoning is approaching relating to:

πŸ”Ή the Zelensky regime’s sale of β€œhuge quantities” of US weapons on the black market, resulting in them ending up in the hands of cartels and terrorist groups

πŸ”Ή the fate of pathogens at US-biolabs sprinkled across Ukraine

πŸ”Ή the murders and attempted assassinations of US and European citizens, including journalists and at least one head of state.

πŸ’¬ β€œThis is all true, and it’s all going to come out at some point. Better start blaming it on Zelensky now,” Carlson said.

❗️ UK to provide a Β£2.6 BILLION ($3.3 billion) loan to Ukraine – reports

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves signed an agreement to approve Β£2.6 billion in loans to support Ukraine, Sky News reported.

The loans will be repaid using profits from frozen Russian assets, which total Β£236 billion in Europe, according to the report.

Russia has maintained that any attempts to confiscate its assets amount to theft, violate international law, and would not go unpunished.
