this is from the ce center for strategic and international studies by max bergman.e's approach to supporting ukraine's war effort is no longer fit for purpose. there is a desperate need for europe to ramp up its defense industrial production. but, despite a clear consensus behind this urgent need, european production lines are not maxing out their capacity. the root of the issue is not so much a lack of political will, but as is frequently the case with european defense, a failure to cooperate in a lack of funding. they are all rallying around zelensky. talk is cheap. one of the step up and do more? europe has not yet shifted to the new reality that ukraine faces. this is several months ago. now, europe has contributed as a collective point to percent of the gross domestic product. point to percent not even 1%, not even half of a percent. if europeans had to put the entire bill, it would be .4%. in other words if the united states withdrew altogether they would have to double it to .4%. still not even 1% of their gdp. countries are telling us this is a vital defense

and this followed a report by israeli journalist ronen bergman that israel leaked information about america'sthose talks. think about that for a moment. you have the israeli government totally reliant on american weapons and diplomatic support and cover, telling america not to make proposals to hamas, a group holding an american hostage without israeli consent. and it really raises the question, who's the actual superpower in this relationship? and the fact that the trump administration now sees the netanyahu government as, quote, sabotaging their cease fire and hostage release talks is important. it seemed like every week we saw reports that the biden administration was angry or frustrated with netanyahu for sabotaging talks, only to follow that up by sending him more weapons and vetoing more un ceasefire resolutions. now, let's be very clear here. we have no idea how any of this will end up either on the iranian nuclear talks or with the hamas talks as well. we don't know, because trump is erratic. case in point, how trump followed up this leaked story about his talking with hamas, posting
