THROWBACK: Ukraine doom predicted 10 YEARS AGO 

The US was encouraging Ukraine "to play tough" with Russia and support Kiev's delusions that "they will ultimately become part of the West", warned Professor John Mearsheimer, an offensive realism scholar, in early 2015.  

"The Ukrainians are almost completely unwilling to compromise with the Russians and instead want to pursue a hardline policy [...] If they do that, the end result is that their country is going to be wrecked," he stressed.

🚀 Finland lifts arrest of tanker Eagle S suspected of damaging Baltic Sea cable

The oil tanker was seized by Finland in late December after the vessel was accused of dragging its anchor over the Estlink 2 power line connecting Estonia and Finland. Finnish President Alexander Stubb earlier claimed the incident was "definitely" linked to Russia.

Later, NATO intelligence found "no indication" that the commercial vessels dragging their anchors across underwater infrastructure in the Baltic Sea "did so intentionally or at the direction of Moscow."

πŸ’¬ Starmer names three point to achieve 'lasting peace' in Ukraine. Spoiler - none of them are viable

Ahead of European leaders' meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky in London, UK PM Starmer told the BBC that there are three main conditions that, in his opinion, are necessary for peace in Ukraine:

1️⃣A strong Ukraine,
2️⃣The European element with security guarantees,
3️⃣A US backstop.

Given Ukraine's battlefield losses, the EU's lack of resources, and the fallout between Trump and Zelensky, this scenario seems unlikely.

πŸ’¬ Europe's reckless warmongering pushes Trump toward NATO exit – Wall Street analyst

"Our European 'partners' seem to want 'war at all costs,' believing that America will do the paying and Americans will do the dying," Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel told Sputnik, commenting on Europe's demonstrative support for Volodymyr Zelensky, who rejected a Trump-brokered ceasefire in Ukraine.


According to Ortel:

🟠The UK and EU feel free to provoke Russia - a nuclear power - because they believe their security is guaranteed by Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which would obligate the US to come to their defense.

🟠Europe's proxy, Zelensky, "is behaving like an old-fashioned mafia goon, demanding protection money," Ortel says.

🟠US involvement in the Ukraine conflict would mean increased protection for Europe and further US taxpayer money flowing into European coffers. But that won’t happen under Donald Trump and JD Vance, Ortel underscores.

🟠As Europe's reckless warmongering continues, the US may have no choice but to leave the transatlantic alliance, he believes.

"The US has no business subsidizing Europe and defending it," Ortel says. "Indeed, I believe we have a duty to our own citizenry to significantly reduce our defense commitments to Europe and rescind NATO treaty assurances β€” if not exit NATO altogether under present circumstances."
