APPLEBAUM: Since Trump’s election, United States provided almost no weaponry and no financial assistance to Ukraine over past year.
The war is now 100% supported by Europe, allies in Asia, Canada, and Ukrainians themselves, who now produce huge percentage of their own weaponry.
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Let us not allow a new Gaza in Lebanon. In the face of violations of international law, Europe must act consistently if it wants the rest of the world to support us.
Kaja Kallas: The Gulf countries haven't helped Europe against Russia, why would Europe help them against Iran?
Spain’s PM: “Do Not Let Lebanon Become Another Gaza”
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Europe must act consistently if it wants global support, warning:
“Let us not allow a new Gaza in Lebanon.”
He added that he has proposed suspending the EU’s association agreement with Israel.
#Israel blowing up de-escalation, inflation at the pump, jet-fuel fears in Europe, and allies quietly building a future that routes around Washington. #Melania, in an inspired act of damage control, shoved #Epstein right back into the spotlight. #uspolitics

EUROPEAN CLIMATIC HISTORY REWRITTEN
This is beyond any imagination:
5th CONSECUTIVE DAY >30/33C in FRANCE with dozens of stations >30C.
More April records broken
31.0 Moulès-et-Baucels
28.1 Canet-et-Rousillon
It's one of the most extreme events Europe has ever seen.
Great Snipe (Gallinago media) 30cm (12in). This is a small stocky wader in the genus Gallinago. This bird's breeding habitat is marshes & wet meadows with short vegetation in north-eastern Europe, including NW Russia. Extraordinary photo of a displaying Snipe taken by Niclas Ahlberg in Sweden #snipe
Letter to the editor: If the US can no longer be relied on, Europe must stand together.
So why is the UK still standing apart?
"Sunday's Parliamentary elections in Hungary are incredibly consequential for a host of geopolitical reasons, especially in regard to Europe and Ukraine. But it also presents a fascinating insight into what the 2028 US Presidential election might feel like, if the current trajectory continues."
@abbiememorydoll.bsky.social designed the poster for RUBBLE NOIR, coming in May. The debris of industrial culture callously scattered in the postwar years in Europe and Asia was a portrait of human folly. The films noir made in this environment are extraordinary.

American aid has dried up. Europe's aid is being held up by a Putin stooge. Canada has the power to finance Ukraine's self-defense: so let's do it. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

We are the ones who insisted that NATO defense obligations be geographically limited to the defense of Europe and North America, because we did not want to be dragged into defending European empires around the world.
America let Europe burn for a couple of years until Pearl Harbor forced them into the war but okay weirdo
A black plastic reel with a measuring tape on it including a folding brass rod on the end
Anyone have any clue where I can get a measuring tape for sea ice in Europe? The only supplier I have found is the very lovely and friendly Kovacs, but they are US based and the cost and time for delivery are crazy.
I mean one like this:

Will the U.S. and Europe break up? As Trump threatens to pull out of NATO amid mounting criticism of his war on Iran, @nathalietocci.bsky.social says "closeness to Trump is becoming increasingly politically toxic in Europe."
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: The UK, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Norway. These are four strong countries, which are part of Europe. Together, the UK, Ukraine, and Türkiye have armies that are stronger than Russia's army. Without Ukraine and Türkiye, Europe can’t match Russia.
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: It’s not about offense, because when Russia makes the decision to have an army of 2.5 million people by 2030, Europe has to think about security and how to preserve its independence. But security comes first, economy second. Not vice versa.
