       Is the Ukraine war driving a wedge between the US and the EU?

       There is no problem with this at all. It is what America should
       be doing proudly. Indeed, our aim is to get America to see
       future war against Israel as another financial opportunity.

       What Germany's 'shilly-shallying' means for Ukraine, Russia &
       NATO | DW News
       --- Quote ---
       > Western military leaders meeting in Germany have failed to
       reach agreement on sending German-made battle tanks to Ukraine.
       Kyiv was optimistic that Berlin would give approval for its
       powerful Leopard 2 tanks to be delivered to the battlefield. But
       Germany's defense minister, Boris Pistorius, said his country
       was still weighing the decision. That sparked protests in Berlin
       and pleas from other countries to provide the weaponry.

       I am glad that Germany is not sending the tanks yet:

       We don't want the war to end so soon. If Poland is sending tanks
       but Germany isn't, Russia could conceivably think that invading
       Poland (via Belarus) could stop the supply of tanks into
       Ukraine. This would be the best-case scenario for us.

       U.S. thanks Vladimir Putin for Finland joining NATO

       > U.S. thanks Vladimir Putin for Finland joining NATO: US
       secretary of state Antony Blinken welcomes Finland as the 31st
       member of Nato and says the alliance has Russian President
       Vladimir Putin to thank for the move. Finland decided to join
       the alliance after Russia's invasion of one of its other
       neighbouring countries, Ukraine, in 2022.

       'We can't trust them': Anti-Russia sentiment grows in Finland •
       FRANCE 24 English
       --- Quote ---
       > Finland shares a 1,300-kilometre border with Russia. During
       the Cold War and until recently, its so-called "Finlandisation"
       doctrine meant neutrality, but the war in Ukraine has changed
       everything. Today, Finland is on its guard. Anti-Russian
       sentiment runs strong among the population, which has not
       forgotten the country's previous armed conflicts with Moscow, as

       Why Erdogan is still blocking Sweden's NATO bid | DW News
       --- Quote ---
       > Turkey's president says NATO should NOT bet on him approving
       Swedish membership of the military alliance before July's
       summit. Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country's attitude to
       Sweden's accession was "not positive," as Sweden hadn't yet
       fully addressed his security concerns. Turkey accuses Sweden of
       being too lenient toward militant Kurdish groups. His comments
       come as officials from NATO, Sweden, Finland and Ankara meet in
       Ankara to address Turkey's concerns. NATO Secretary General Jens
       Stoltenberg says some progress has been made.
