🇭🇺🗣 The rearmament of Europe, which requires huge expenditure, should not turn into a secret support for Ukraine and its army, Hungarian FM Peter Szijjarto has said.

"We do not accept the position that the defense of Europe will mean the defense of Ukraine… The strategy of strengthening European defense should not mean a covert increase in arms supplies to Ukraine and its financial support," Szijjarto said.

The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry also called the claims that Ukraine is allegedly "defending Europe" a lie, because "no one has attacked any EU country or NATO country."

🗣 Only lunatics insist on sanctions against Russia in the context of Donald Trump's tariffs against the EU, said Sevim Dagdelen, a foreign policy expert for Germany's Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance for Reason and Justice party.

"In such a situation, only madmen continue to insist on self-destructive sanctions against Russia or even dream of new punitive measures against China," the expert stated.

At the same time, she expresses the opinion that Trump is waging an economic war against half the world, and Germany is especially clearly under attack.

❌💵 Is Trump’s tariff strategy leading to the end of the US dollar’s dominance?

The global shift toward de-dollarization is gaining momentum. Here's why it could speed up the DEMISE OF THE GREENBACK.

“At the root of seeking to de-dollarize is the understandably natural response to INTIMIDATION TACTICS, which the new tariffs regime is seen to be by many across the globe,” veteran financial analyst Paul Goncharoff tells Sputnik.

▪️Washington’s use of such tactics simply DIMINISHES THE VALUE of any “alliance or non-alliance” with the US, he explains.

▪️US attempts to sanction countries that prefer to trade with other nations, using their respective currencies instead of US dollars, also does not endear the United States to them.

▪️“Personally, I am of the opinion that this latest 'Öpus Magna' from the Washington administration may have irretrievably broken the proverbial camel’s back for the future of the US dollar, WEAPONIZED as it is and looks to remain,” the expert added.

▪️Trump’s presentation of his tariff charts also failed to “adequately allay global market fears” as it REMAINS UNCLEAR exactly what tariffs some countries will end up facing.

🥴 Top four cringiest NATO militaries exposed

While NATO members keep trying to convince themselves that their militaries are at least on a par with Russia’s armed forces, it is the United States that is the real power behind the bloc.

Just take a look at the rest:

🇬🇧 UK

The once-powerful British navy nowadays makes headlines due to its aircraft carriers constantly breaking down and all the subsequently botched Trident missile test launches.

🇫🇷 France

Over the past years, Paris has been steadily losing influence in its former colonial holdings in Africa, with France’s military interventions, ostensibly aimed at combating Islamist extremists, failing to produce conclusive results.

🇩🇪 Germany

Dozens of Leopard tanks and Marder IFVs effortlessly destroyed in the Ukrainian conflict zone serve as testament to German military hardware’s poor quality.

🔻 The Baltic States

While Estonia’s, Latvia’s and Lithuania’s aggression towards Russia is the stuff of legends, their military might is simply laughable. The Baltic trio is keen to antagonize Russia and just as keen to rely on the US’ protection to avoid reprisals.

Stocks prices for EU carmakers have "dropped by 10 to 15 percent for premium carmakers, Mercedes or Porsche. This is, of course, influenced by the American tariffs," the expert added.
