Is the Ukraine war driving a wedge between the US and the EU?
--- Quote ---
> The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has become a source of immense
profit for the US. America has built a two-way system to turn
the war into a financial opportunity, but European allies are
frustrated at the way the Biden administration is handling the
crisis.

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.

'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
FRANCE 24’s team on the ground reports.

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.

Sorry Russia, the Baltic Sea is NATO’s lake now
--- Quote ---
>
>
> A resurgent NATO is set to tighten its grip on the Baltic Sea,
complicating a vital transit route for Vladimir Putin’s navy in
Russia’s backyard.
>
> This week’s alliance summit in Vilnius was Finland’s first as
a NATO member. On the summit’s eve, Turkey agreed to back
Sweden’s bid to join — paving the way for a strategic shift in a
region Moscow once dominated.
>
> NATO has steadily increased its control of the Baltic Sea — a
crucial maritime gateway for the Russian fleet which has bases
near St. Petersburg and in the heavily militarized Kaliningrad
exclave. During the Cold War, only Denmark and Germany at the
far western edge of the Baltic were in the alliance. Poland
joining NATO in 1999 and the three Baltic republics in 2004 put
most of the sea’s southern shore under alliance control.
>
> Finland and Sweden in NATO will close the vise on the sea from
the north, leaving Russia with limited access.
>
> Sweden and Finland joining also means expanding the alliance’s
presence in the Arctic, a region increasingly strategic to both
Russia and China.
>
> Moscow isn’t pleased.
>
> The two Nordic countries will help make the “magical promise”
of Article 5 more effective, according to Kristine Berzina,
managing director for the German Marshall Fund’s Geostrategy
North. Under Article 5 — NATO’s cornerstone — an armed attack
against one or more members is considered an attack on all.
