@Ferdinand641 @guyverhofstadt I include Germany in the smaller weaker states... in comparison to the largest and strongest 🙂

@RpsAgainstTrump No. Trump is a realist. You also don't seem to understand how he operates.... He's really rather good

@guyverhofstadt Yes you saw it coming... You are a rabbit in the headlights.

@RpsAgainstTrump Yes you saw it coming... You are a rabbit in the headlights

@Ferdinand641 @guyverhofstadt Indeed. Putin has already proposed a new security framework for Europe. This is what Trump and Putin will work towards. The smaller states in Europe are too weak and cannot afford any other option.

@guyverhofstadt There WILL be a new security structure for Europe. The wise will know this requires Russia. Indeed Russia has already proposed this. You are not wise. You are also irrelevant. It will come and you are not involved 🙂

@LewisFi63068776 @ChrisCoolyard @Mike_Pence It's the reality. Deal with it. Trump is.

@LewisFi63068776 @ChrisCoolyard @Mike_Pence Russia has all the cards. That's what winning means.

@Mike_Pence "Someday" was yesterday. Parts of what was briefly Ukraine are already Russian. America is not what it was. One has to readjust as one gives way to others who WILL replace the empire and be smart in order to retain influence... you aren't smart @Mike_Pence

@ChrisCoolyard @Mike_Pence Just do happens all the real mineral wealth is in the East under Russian control. It's over

@ind3pendent7 @Kathryn07694445 @David__Osland One starts to lose one's cognitive ability to use what one knows to assess reality at some point. Maybe old enough to know but too old to reason? And wisdom does not come to all at any age!

@Kathryn07694445 @David__Osland You are clearly uneducated, not able to step back and understand the facts, deluded, or all of the above.

@Saint_Gerrard @David__Osland So have every western nation and continue to do so. Sometimes this goes t!ts up for the harbouring nation as we have seen recently in countless examples. The behaviour of either state does not remove the right of the people.

@David__Osland Because they have a homeland and their right is to live there. The priority of all right thinking people and organisations, should be to ensure they can do so rather than assisting those who would deny that right.

@polithinkuk321 Started with this Eurocommunist technocrat.

@RepJoeWilson The boot is in the other foot old boy.

@benonwine Shoes for people with club feet are not the most elegant are they.

@regie2bme @ZelenskyyUa At a safe distance?

@timkhan007 @ZelenskyyUa These instructions may come with a lampost and a short piece of rope

@ZelenskyyUa Are you really that deranged? Your 'partners' are not the ones you need to negotiate with 🤷🏻‍♂️
