Helping Putin at Ukraine's expense doesn't make America safer. It emboldens Russia, undermines our alliances, and risks encouraging other autocrats to believe that aggression pays. Standing with Ukraine is both the right thing to do and in America's national interest.
This isn't just a problem for Europeans, lack of US reliability is also a huge issus for Saudi Arabia, UAE, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and at this rate even Israel. If the US is no longer able to coordinate a global network of alliances it loses its exceptional position in the global system

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that a new survey mentioned in Berlingske showed that 53% of Danes preferred lower taxes over differentiated VAT. He called it common sense and said that other conservative parties, which had previously supported differentiated VAT, had now changed their position. Vanopslagh criticized the government's model for allegedly requiring 400 more civil servants, creating more hassle for businesses, and assuming a new IT system developed in the Tax Agency. He wrote that the model would not be ready before 2028 and might not work at all. In comparison, he claimed that the Liberal Alliance's model would work immediately, not put extra burden on businesses, and send the money directly to citizens' bank accounts without the need for more bureaucrats. Vanopslagh urged the government to choose lower taxes over differentiated VAT. #Skat #Moms #Politik (translated)
Alex Vanopslagh wrote that the government would soon grant 2,055 citizenships without screening the applicants for anti-democratic behavior. He highlighted a woman mentioned in the proposal who, according to him, had repeatedly shared and praised Hamas and deceased Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar. Vanopslagh described Sinwar as the mastermind behind the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He wrote that the Liberal Alliance wanted to summon the woman for a citizenship interview and referred to an article in Politiken. At the same time, he emphasized that he did not know if the woman was an Islamist or anti-democrat, but believed her posts pointed in that direction. He used the case as an argument for a screening model before more citizenships were distributed. Vanopslagh criticized the Social Democrats for having delayed the decision for more than two years, according to him. He wrote that the Minister for Immigration and Integration, Rasmus Stoklund, had said that the public should alert the authorities about individuals who might not deserve citizenship. Vanopslagh believed that the responsibility lay with the government, not the public or Liberal Alliance staff, and wrote that the government put citizens who deserved citizenship in the same category as individuals like the woman in the article. #statsborgerskab #demokrati #politik (translated)
Eric Coquerel believed that social democracy was supporting an additional candidate who, in his view, wanted to prolong the Macron presidency and only saw alliances to the right to defeat the RN.

Briefs from the press reported that Royal accused Glucksmann of wanting to take control of the Socialist Party after failing to create momentum with his own party.

Respect for the world is not weakness. It is strength. The State Department represents America to the world. Those other flags don’t diminish ours—they represent the countries with which America engages, negotiates, competes and builds alliances.

🇫🇷👏🏻 HISTORIQUE VICTOIRE POUR LE RN ! Pour la première fois de son Histoire, le RN franchit la barre des 10 sénateurs élus et aura un groupe au Sénat. L’ancrage local s’intensifie et se poursuit, notamment grâce à ses alliances avec l’UDR d’Éric Ciotti. Bravo ! 👏🏻 #Senatoriales2026 #Politique #Élections #RN

In a world where it can be tempting to work only with those who think like us, we have to do exactly the opposite: broaden our alliances, strengthen collective action, and build more bridges.
