@hanse_mina@mastodon.social It is to be expected and will not change. Putin has all the motivation in the world to gaslight European leaders. The present move is that Putin will offer oil flows and ME pacification through influence on Iran. The Gulf states are clearly trying to lean into this and will offer Trump some extra money to cushion any political fallout for MAGA from losing USA hegemon status in the Middle East. The Europeans are to be given fait accompli only and forced to pay for "peace".
