Today is the G7 Summit in Italy, a meeting of our closest partners. Much of it will be dedicated to Ukraine, our defense, and economic resilience. And we look forward to important decisions today.

For us, the main issues are developing fighter jet coalition, expediting pilot…

It sure as hell looked like the US was ready to do the obvious thing and ditch the Ukraine debacle.

Instead they’re signing an agreement for a 10-year war with Russia?

What is the… I just don’t…

Russia has warships in Cuba right now. These people are serious adults.

Is there a single person involved in US policy who could be referred to as a “serious adult”? Is there anyone you would not define as a “serious freak”?

Remove the context for a minute.

Like, what if you went to a parent-teacher meeting and found the school was being run by Antony Blinken, Joe Biden, and Jake Sullivan.

Would you keep your kid in that school?

The Guardian:

Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskiy will sign a 10-year bilateral security agreement at the G7 summit in Italy, as arguments continued on the sidelines about how the west can provide a Donald Trump-proof $50bn loan to Ukraine.

Kyiv has signed 15 bilateral security agreements with other countries since the full-scale Russian invasion began in 2022, including with the UK, France, Germany and Italy. The US-Ukraine agreement does not require the authorisation of Congress and could be undone by a future Trump administration. Biden has said previously that guarantees for Ukraine would be equivalent to those to Israel, covering financial and military assistance as well as the possibility of the joint weapons production.

The two leaders will hold a press conference later on Thursday, where differences over a timetable for Ukraine’s bid to join Nato and the introduction of foreign military trainers inside Ukraine are likely to be on view. The bilateral agreements have been seen in Ukraine as a stopgap on the road to joining Nato.

Ukraine will also sign a bilateral deal with Japan on Thursday.

Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida @kishida230 and I have just signed a security agreement between Ukraine and Japan. A unique document with one of the world’s most economically and technologically advanced countries.
