Update(1920ET): During their late afternoon press conference in the Oval Office, President Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte fielded questions from the media, including from ZeroHedge White House correspondent Liam Cosgrove.
It was our chance to put Rutte in the hot seat amid ratcheting dangerous escalation in what has clearly long been a proxy war in Ukraine – with what Trump would in that moment call a “fair question” – and the NATO chief appeared to struggle to answer, but also dodged a key follow-up. Cosgrove first highlighted a “massive collapse” in Ukrainian public support for the war. “People view your coming here as lobbying the US government to continue its involvement in the war… but Ukrainians themselves don’t want to fight the war so how do you justify that morally?” Continue reading “ZeroHedge Spars With NATO Chief In The Oval Over Failed Ukraine Policy”

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accused some within the European Union of attempting to sabotage peace by disrupting the now-canceled meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest.
“The foreign minister of a European Union member state says that Russian President V. Putin could be detained during a flight over this country, and the European Commission’s media environment is warning Hungary that it should implement an international arrest warrant,” Fico said in a statement released by the Slovak Government Office.
“I have always maintained that the EU has turned into a war cabinet, that a significant part of EU member states support the war in Ukraine in the naive belief that this way Russia can be weakened and even defeated,” he added, calling attempts to derail peace talks a “sad sight.”
