This guy, I like. He’s a realist. He sees that NATO is through and the twits leading France and England are worthless.

If this guy actually has grown a pair, you’ll start hearing the truth about Nordstream. The Poles need a nuke!

He's going to have to form a coalition with far left parties so it's not going to matter on what he's going to want to accomplish.

If he decides to be too aggressive with his agenda, his government will collapse.

It can be as simple as building a new nuclear plant.

The Green party is not going to allow that.

Care to hazard a guess as to what the strategic situation in West Eurasia will be in 2035, ten years after the collapse of NATO?

Realizes NATO is obsolete. It’s time for some other European security arrangement. The US can have friendly observer status like Sweden did with NATO for decades. Maybe there can be some truly North Atlantic security arrangement with true North Atlantic powers.
