Trump Orders Shut Down of Key NATO Base in Greece

 

Reports are coming in claiming President Donald Trump has ordered the shutdown of a large U.S. Military Base in Greece. The base is presently a key Logistics point in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine situation. NATO has been using this base to ship weapons for Ukraine.

 

Greek media reports that the closure of the U.S. military base in Alexandroupoli, Greece, follows a joint request from Putin and Erdogan.

 

The base, a key NATO logistical hub, had been a point of contention, particularly with Turkey.

 

If these reports are confirmed, the move represents a diplomatic concession that could alter the balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean.

 

Greek press reports highlight that the closure is seen as a strategic loss for Greece, which has strengthened military ties with the U.S. in recent years. The Alexandroupoli base played a role in regional security and military logistics, particularly in supporting NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe.

 

The Trump administration has yet to officially comment on the reports, and it remains unclear whether the decision will be permanent or part of a broader realignment of U.S. military assets.

France President Arrives at White House: No Trump Greeting

 

French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at the White House at about 9:00 AM local time and already got the heads-up about his visit: No President Trump outside to greet him.

 

The Trump White House is very clear about who is welcome and who will merely be received. When a visitor is welcome, Trump is seen waiting outside the White House portal to greet the visitor as they exit their car. When a visitor is merely being tolerated, President Trump is NOT outside; just a staffer or two greets such a visitor.

 

Macron got the Staffer this morning.

 

It is already widely known that Macron wants the US to continue the Ukraine war with Russia. His words will likely fall upon deaf ears.

 

President Trump campaigned on stopping that war, and is now actively taking steps to achieve precisely that. The notion that, of all people the French President, can come to the White House to change US direction is almost laughable.

 

After it became public in 2022 that then-French President Francois Hollande attended the Minsk Conference in Belarus, with the deliberate intent to deceive Russia in order to buy time for Ukraine to arm for war, Trump knows the French government under Macron absolutely cannot be trusted.

 

They were willing to intentionally deceive the leader of one super power, Russia. It therefore follows they are also likely willing to deceive the leader of another super power, the USA. Trump will likely have none of that.

Terrorist Attack Rocks Russian Consulate In France On 3-Year Ukraine War Mark

 

A suspected terror attack has taken place against the Russian consulate in the French city of Marseille on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has confirmed, after explosions erupted inside the consulate's walls. Three explosive devices were thrown onto the grounds of the consulate which detonated, resulting in damage but no casualties. The diplomatic compound has subsequently been sealed off by police pending an investigation.

 

The attack corresponded to the three-year anniversary of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. The Russian Army poured across the borders from Russia and staging grounds in Belarus on February 24, 2022, to prevent NATO from taking over their borders alongside Ukraine.

 

"The explosions on the territory of the Russian Consulate General in Marseille have all the signs of a terrorist attack," foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told a press briefing.

 

"We demand that the host country undertake exhaustive and speedy investigative measures, as well as steps to strengthen the security of Russia's foreign missions," she said. This isn't the first time explosives have been 'randomly' hurled at Russian diplomatic compounds in Europe, but this one clearly planned and timed to mark the day of Feb.24.

 

A second device, which was also thrown against the consulate's outer wall, did not explode and fell to the sidewalk. A bomb disposal expert was called to the scene.

 

The suspect fled and an investigation has been launched, an official said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be publicly named by national police policy. Authorities did not provide details on the suspect or a motive.

 

For its part the French government has "condemned any attack on the security of diplomatic compounds. The inviolability, protection and integrity of diplomatic and consular premises, as well as their personnel, are fundamental principles of international law" in a statement.

 

Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large Rodion Miroshnik has highlighted that the constant anti-Russia rhetoric coming out of European and French leadership helped set the stage for Monday's consulate bombing.

 

After repeating that it has "all the signs of a terrorist act" - Miroshnik leveled the charge: "It seems that the hostile rhetoric of the French leadership is not just hot air, but also contributes to terrorist acts on French territory," he wrote on Telegram.
