Citizenship: Land vs. Blood
This map shows most of the world ties citizenship to bloodline, locking millions out unless their parents qualify. Only a handful of countries offer citizenship by birthplace, instantly granting nationality to anyone born on their soil. Source: @TheRabbitHole84 thru Mario Nawfal
It seems that EU leaders aren't invited to the meeting with Zelensky & Trump...
DC schedule says it all: solo with Zelensky in the Oval; EU/NATO chiefs bumped to the dinner after-party. Trump is floating a Zelensky–Putin–Trump 3-way this week... but only if Monday goes smooth. Source: BILD thru Mario Nawfal
U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday the onus to end the war between Moscow and Kyiv is on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that Zelenskyy could “end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.” “Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and no going into NATO by Ukraine,” Trump added in the post, mirroring demands by the Kremlin for recognition of its annexation of Crimea and for Ukraine to be excluded from the NATO alliance.
