Trump reportedly told Netanyahu he would be "on his own" as Israel and Iran came within hours of a full-scale restart of hostilities, and Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down exactly how the Trump administration pulled both sides back from the edge while Germany's Merz signals Europe is now ready to take the diplomatic baton and open direct talks with Putin on Ukraine. From the E3 bait and switch that may have ended serious negotiations, to Zelensky's meeting with Witkoff and Kushner, the Poland-Ukraine historical row threatening the coalition, the EU shadow fleet seizure plan, and the quiet collapse of Europe's joint fighter jet program, this is the full picture of a diplomatic and military landscape shifting fast. Are the Europeans about to repeat every mistake the Americans made, only with fewer resources and less leverage?
