For Trump, Russia has recently been a “paper tiger”. Location in the morning

Good morning, dear readers,

With Donald Trump, who changes his opinions as often as other people change their underpants, you have to be careful: it is better not to rely on reliability in the often erratic US president. Little advisable from one of his many effusion on social media is therefore very advisable.

But now some English-speaking observers seem to have identified a “U-Turn”, i.e. a turnaround, in Trump’s view of the situation of Ukraine. What happened? Trump posted some remarkable sentences on his social network “Truth Social”: He not only assumes that Ukraine can win war against Russia, but that they also return their entire territory. Russia looks weak and like a “paper tiger”.

Hadn’t Trump recently spoken out in his efforts at the end of the war that the Ukraine isolated areas? Yes, he had that. He also had the Ukrainian President public at a meeting in the White House and threatened to post arms deliveries to Ukraine. Now the US President, with his latest statements, is more clearly on the side of Ukraine, which has been attacked by Russia for three and a half years. Also has Trump On Tuesday, advocated to shoot Russian fighter jets when entering the NATO airspace, also a tighter tone towards Russia.

Trump’s patience with Putin, at least for the moment, seems to end. In a meeting with French President Macron, he is said to have given his disappointment about the Kreml ruler. He thought that this war would be the easiest to end, Trump said that because of his good ones Relationship With Putin. “But unfortunately this relationship did not mean anything,” he is quoted. It is only to be hoped that this insight will last longer than to Trump’s next phone call with Putin – and that actions follow, for example, increased sanctions.

Claudia Cardinale is dead. The cinema icon of the 60 years died On Tuesday at the age of 87 with their children in the French city of Nemours near Paris. The great directors Luchino Visconti and Federico Fellini made the actress (“Der Leopard”, “play the song of death”, “Rocco and his brothers”) about their muse.

“The story of Claudia Cardinale is the story of a golden cage and an outbreak,” writes Mark Stöhr in his obituary. She was like a lioness behind bars, she said in 2018 in an interview with the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. “I had everything I wanted: I lived in a beautiful house and car, could make wonderful films and travel the world.” Then she met the Italian director Pasquale Squitieri – the “only love of my life” – and gave up her role as an all -round and regulated film diva.

For twelve minutes, three Russian fighter jets recently flew in the Estonian airspace, twelve minutes in the NATO alliance. Previously, Russian drones had been spotted about Poland again and again. It may also have been Russian drones that led to a standstill at the airports of Copenhagen and Oslo.

Are these still provocations or are they already attacks? And does the military alliance react appropriately? In five minutes you know more:

is a conversation with Annalena Baerbock. The former German Foreign Minister is now in New York and has the United Nations General Assembly together these days. In doing so, she represents 193 countries, some of which wage war against each other. How does that actually work? What happens behind the scenes? And has she already missed Robert Habeck?
