Jos malo o Nemacko-USA odnosima u svetlu podrske Ukrajne DW In an exclusive interview with DW, German Foreign Minister-designate Johann Wadephul tells DW Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner that the new government will try "to make clear to the Trump administration that it is in their very interest to have a very strong Ukraine."

bbc US President Donald Trump has posted on his Truth Social account, external urging Canadians to vote towards becoming "the cherished 51st State of the United States of America". "Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES," he writes. The US president calls to end an "artificially drawn line from many years ago", adding: "Look how beautiful this land mass would be." He also says America "can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past" unless it is a US state. --- Bob Croskey was first in line this morning at La Maisonnette des Parents, a community centre in Montreal’s Little Italy currently serving as a polling station. A retired historian originally from the United States, Bob is voting for the first time as a Canadian citizen. Though he says he remains “fundamentally American,” with family roots there stretching back over 200 years, he tells us he feels “deeply ashamed” of the United States today. “It’s deeply depressing that we have a criminal elected president of the US,” he says. Living in Canada, Bob says he feels “protected” and is “very glad and grateful” to the country for “taking me in."

To pitanje ide uz bukvalno svaki Muskov potez od kad se dohvatio Trumpa. Sto se tice teroristickih i slicnih napada, meni je sa ove pozicije sve bliza ideja da je i tzv atentat na Trumpa bio staged, imajuci u vidu implikacije koje je izazvao i ko je tu najvise profitirao.

bbc Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire for the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin said the ceasefire would run from the morning of 8 May until 11 May - which coincides with victory celebrations to mark the end of World War Two. In response, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for an immediate ceasefire lasting "at least 30 days".

Da te ispravim, nisu oni samoproklamovani fasisti, nego je sud jednog od njihovih lidera oznacio kao fasistu. Njihov talking point je, kao sto je i rekla njihova liderka u razgovoru sa Muskom, da je Hitler, zapravo, bio komunista, sto naravno kod svakog pismenog coveka izaziva prezir, kao i svaki drugi pokusaj revizije istorije u pravcu relativizacije najmracnijih perioda covecanstva. Zasto dobijaju podrsku na izborima? Ako pojednostavimo situaciju, meni izgleda da jasu na talasu trenutno popularne antimigrantske politike. Da kao i svi drugi populisti koriste krizu izazvanu spolja za dobijanje podrske medju nedovoljno prosvecenim i ljudima kojima je lako manipulisati na razne nacine. A kremaljska propagandna masinerija uopste nije naivna, ima veoma razradjene suptilne metode uticaja na birace. U tom smislu, oni cesti teroristicki napadi ljudi arapskog porekla su nekako najintezivniji bili u vreme predizborne kampanje u Nemackoj. Otkako su prosli izbori, nisam vise cuo za takav neki nemili dogadjaj u Nemackoj, sto mi pali lampicu da je sve to bilo koordinisano sa nekog mesta. Kremlj i Musk mi izgledaju kao moguci prvooptuzeni, njima rast AfDa najvise ide u prilog.

Ovi ce biti i u novoj Vladi, tako da mi se cini da su oni najozbiljnija podrska Ukrajni. Cak mi je i vrlo upadljivo da Nemacke nema nigde gde je USA prisutna. Na onim slikama iz Rima, sa Zelenskim su tu Macron i Starmer, naravno i Trump, ali nikoga iz Nemacke nema ni blizu mesta gde su Trump i njegovi najblizi pajtosi. Mislim da je Vensov performans u Minhenu bio ozbiljan diplomatski skandal, preko koga Berlin nece lako preci. Da ne pominjem Muskovu podrsku AfDu, odnosno direktno mesanje u izbore suverene drzave.

CNN Ceding large swathes of Ukrainian land to Russia under a peace proposal suggested by US President Donald Trump would be “a capitulation,” Germany’s defense minister warned on Sunday. “Ukraine on its own could have got a year ago already what was included in that (Trump proposal), practically through a capitulation,” he said. “I cannot discern any added value.”

AFD, ne ADF, Alternative fur Deutschland. Stranka ciji je jedan od lidera sudskom presudom dobio 'pravo' da ga ljudi i mediji u konverzaciji zovu fasistom ili profasistom zbog njegovih javnom izrecenih stavova po mnogim politickom pitanjima. Stranka inace ima najjace uporiste u bivsoj Istocnoj Nemackoj, gde je uticaj Kremlja i danas izuzetno jak, a mnogi lideri i clanovi AfDa su na KGBovskom platnom spisku. Otklon od ovakve 'partije' je civilizacijsko pitanje. Onaj ko joj pruzi podrsku bilo kakve vrste, mora da se zapita s koje strane civilizacije je danas.

New CNN poll Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term. Approval of Trump’s handling of the presidency is down 4 points since March, and 7 points lower than it was in late February. Just 22% say they strongly approve of Trump’s handling of the job, a new low, and about twice as many say they strongly disapprove (45%). The poll finds the president underwater and sinking across nearly all major issues he’s sought to address during his time in office, with the public’s confidence in his ability to handle those issues also on the decline. On inflation, approval is down 9 points to 35%, and on tariffs themselves, it’s down 4 points to 35%. His marks for handling the economy are down 5 points to a career low of 39%; he hit his previous low once in his first term and again this March). Only about half (52%) express confidence in his ability to deal with the economy, down 13 points compared with a December CNN poll. Following his far-reaching efforts to reshape the federal government’s workforce, Trump has lost ground on approval ratings for managing the federal government (42% approve, down 6 points since March).

@Darko Ovaj podatak da 20% kineskog GDPja zavisi od USA meni ne zvuci realan. I nisam siguran kojom metodom je izracunan. Kako sada stvari stoje, Kina ce morati da trazi nova trzista za svoje proizvode po celom svetu, a USA ce ostati samoizolovana. U takvim odnosima, verujem da ce Kina pre naci zamenu i da ce imati manje stete od nametnutog trgovinskog rata. Uostalom, ovo Trumpovo plakanje kako ce da bude 'nice' prema Kini, tesko da bi doslo da se oseca tako superiorno kako zeli da predstavi. #TrumpChickenedOut je dominantan hashtag u Kini ove nedelje, meni dovoljno govori da su se Kinezi bolje spremili za trgovinski rat. I to je trebalo da bude jasno jos onog momenta kad su 'spustili rampu' za prodaju Panamskog kanala.

O danasnjim sastancima u Bazilici Svetog Petra bbc Zelensky described the sit down as a "very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results". Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha also posted an image of the meeting on X with the caption: "No words are needed to describe the importance of this historic meeting. Two leaders working for peace in St. Peter's Basilica." In a post on X, Macron said ending the war in Ukraine was an objective that "we share in common with President Trump", adding that Ukraine was ready for "an unconditional ceasefire". A Downing Street spokesperson said Starmer and Zelensky discussed the positive progress that had been made recently to "secure a just and lasting peace in Ukraine," adding that the pair had agreed to "maintain momentum" and "speak again at the earliest opportunity".

@MeanMachine Gde su video u Trumpovom planu mirovne trupe? Ja uopste nisam siguran da sam taj predlog video, jedino znam da je Peskov prosle nedelje ponavljao kako strane trupe u Ukrajni, osim ruskih, ne dolaze u obzir. I ovo da Rusija ne moze da obnovi ratnu masineriju brzo jednostavno nije tacno. Oni vec sada proizvedu vise od toga koliko Ukrajinci mogu da uniste i koliko upotrebe za razaranje Ukrajne. Zamrzavanjem rata bi do maksimalno sredine 2027, Rusija napravila ozbiljnije jacu vojnu masineriju od one kojom je izvrsila invaziju 2022. Da ne pominjem iskustvo ratovanja. A jedno znamo sigurno, Putinu i Trumpu se ne moze verovati na rec. Zato je nephodna ozbiljna garancija koja ce odvratiti Rusiju od nove invazije.

@Klotzen Da ga stvarno zanima Space X, sigurno se ne bi 'zaigrao sa Trumpom' niti pruzao podrsku profasistickoj partiji u De.

Iskreno, ozbiljno sumnjam da ce Musk da napusti Washington i administraciju, njemu se business bukvalno raspada, sad je to vec ekspresan proces. Glavu iznad vode moze da odrzi jos samo kao drzavni ili paradrzavni uhljeb gde ce kroz korupciju i lukrativne poslove da odzi privid bogatstva i moci. Naravno, prvi korak je da se povuce iz tog prvog esalona oko Vrhovnog Klovna.

cnn When President Donald Trump was reminded in an interview with Time magazine this week that he had said he would end the Russian war on Ukraine on “day one,” he claimed he hadn’t been speaking literally or seriously. On the campaign trail in 2023 and 2024, Trump said on dozens of occasions, in an entirely serious tone, manner and context, that he would end the war in Ukraine either within 24 hours of his return to the White House or even sooner than that. He said over and over again, including at both presidential debates of 2024, that he would have the war “settled” when he was president-elect, before his inauguration. A Friday search of the Roll Call Factba.se database that catalogues Trump’s public remarks turned up at least 53 examples of Trump making such comments. He framed the promise as a key component of his second-term agenda, and he justified it with claims about his “credibility” as a leader, his history as a “peacemaker,” and his knowledge of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump sometimes emphasized that he was speaking literally, scoffing at critics who said he couldn’t end the war that fast. “I’ll get that done within 24 hours. Everyone says, ‘Oh, no, you can’t.’ Absolutely I can. Absolutely I can,” he said at one July 2023 rally in Iowa. He said at a Pennsylvania rally later that month: “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we all together win the presidency, we will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. It will be settled. The war is going to be settled. I’ll get them both – I know Zelensky, I know Putin, it’ll be done within 24 hours, you watch. They all say, ‘That’s such a boast.’ It will be done very quickly.” Ovde je svih 53 citata koja su se ispostavila kao false claims https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/25/politics/fact-check-trump-ukraine-war/index.html

bbc Multiple Russian sources say General Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the main operational department at the Russian General Staff, has been killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow. No official confirmation yet. Russian official news agency TASS quotes security services as confirming that a bomb was the cause of the explosion in Moscow’s eastern suburb of Balashikha.

bbc The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has told the BBC that Ukraine may have to give up land as part of a peace deal with Russia, amid a growing pressure from President Donald Trump to accept territorial concessions. "One of the scenarios is… to give up territory. It's not fair. But for the peace, temporary peace, maybe it can be a solution, temporary," he said.

Zapravo mu Biden nije uopste ostavio lose karte, ali on je sam resio da da ih se odrekne i zamesa novu partiju. Nije mi zao sto se on kuva u tom sosu, ali je strasno sta Ukrajinci trpe zbog njegove lose procene (blagog receno) ili izdaje, posto jos uvek ne mozemo da budemo sigurni sta je stvarna pozadina svega sto radi. Samo jedno je sigurno, srozao je ugled USA u svetu na najnize grane u poslednjih dvestotinak godina. #Impeachment #StopTheClown

cnn Trump writes ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ after Russia launches deadliest strikes on Kyiv since last summer. “The strike objectives were achieved. All targets were hit,” Moscow said.

CNN Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, a billionaire supporter of President Donald Trump and a megadonor to Republican candidates, had some unusually harsh words for the president about his trade war: It’s hurting America’s standing in the world and eroding the nation’s brand. “The United States was more than just a nation. It’s a brand. It’s a universal brand, whether it’s our culture, our financial strength, our military strength …. America rose beyond just being a country,” Griffin said Wednesday at the Semafor World Economy Summit in Washington. “It was like an aspiration for most the world. And we’re eroding that brand right now.” Griffin, founder of one of the largest hedge funds in the world, said that traders are concerned about parking their investments in the United States — particularly US Treasury bonds — because Trump’s tariffs have destroyed faith that America will remain a trusted and rational actor in global financial markets. #Impeachment #StopTheClown

Mitroviceva Zadruga place za ovakvim likovima.

Same here, ali sam navikao da dollar uvek najvise padne u prvoj godini posle izbora, a zatim konstantno raste do novih izbora i inauguracije. Sada se, iskreno, plasim ozbiljnijeg dugorocnog pada posle kog nece biti rasta.

Prva reagovanja iz Kine na Trumpovu maslinovu granu su od blagog podsmeha do ozbiljnog ruganja. Potparol ministarstva trgovine je uputio Trumpu zahtev da skine sve takse na svu kinesku robu A ozbiljniji politicari uopste i ne komentarisu Trumpov zaokret. cnn Trump told reporters on Wednesday there were direct talks between US and Chinese officials “everyday” on trade, though he didn’t offer specifics. “These are all fake news,” Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, said on Thursday when asked about the talks. “To my knowledge, China and the United States have not engaged in any consultations or negotiations on the tariff issue, let alone reached any agreement.” Ovo je, svakako, najozbiljnija samarcina Kine Americi do sada, ali ocekujem da samari tek pocnu da pljuste na politickom, ekonomskom i vojnom polju. Frustrirana i nekompetentna americka administracija je sebe uspesno izolovala od saveznika, tako da ce ovo morati da istrpe sami. To sto se nadaju da ce ih spasiti Rusija i Indija, neka razmisle opet, znaju tamo veoma dobro koliko su USA i Trump pouzdani saveznici. Pitali Zelenskog i Ukrajnu.
