Europe lost a lot of time and money, because it trusted Musk and used SpaceX for launches. Otherwise its GOVSATCOM program was proposed in 2013, adopted in 2016, and implementation launched in 2021, with completion planned for 2029. bsky.app/profile/chro...

Understandable. Germany will need them, especially since F35s are a politically less reliable platform by the day.

We need to agree the EU's next long-term budget by the end of this year. Our discussion yesterday has helped us to make progress. I will now accelerate the work, so that we can deliver. #EUCO

I do too, but see a lot of emotion due to people being surprised. This treason is, however, fully in line with expectations. The US is exploiting dependencies like the mafia would. Europe should have done much more since at least ~2023 to decrease reliance on US capabilities, including Starlink.

"We're not in a hurry, honestly." As he enters #EUCO summit, Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson rebuffs @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu Costa's push to agree the next long-term 🇪🇺budget by year's end. He most likely won't be at the next summit in December, since he lost last month's 🇸🇪election.

Trump is hurting the US. And in doing so he is offering the EU a window to become independent, stronger, and more united. This has been undermined by all US administrations since the 1950s. So a Democratic victory in the midterms is not in the strategic interest of the EU. Allora hai capito!?

Germany and the other Northern austerity frugals say the EU budget is "bloated". Here's how that "bloated" 🇪🇺budget compares: Federations: 🇪🇺: 1% of GDP 🇩🇪: 12% 🇺🇸: 24% Unitary states: 🇳🇱: 46% 🇫🇷: 57%

Predicted compromise: a budget of around €1600B, around 20% less to agriculture, and common bond issuing to cover part of the increase. Source: none, just guessing.

Nice speech. One phone call by the White House to SHAPE to "stand down" and NATO as an organisation is useless. Yes, there is Berlin Plus, but it requires the consent of the US. No, without Europeanising NATO I wouldn't pay a penny for this US-controlled gaslighting operation. Sorry.

Met die generaal is helemaal niks mis. Geen haat van mijn kant. Maar als het Witte Huis belt en zegt "stand down", dan zal hij dat doen, en zo hoort het rechtsstatelijk op zichzelf ook. Kortom, de enige oplossing is om SHAPE te Europeaniseren. Dat zou kunnen samengaan met een Europ. Veiligheidsraad.

Nee, dit statement is de laatste poging van de VS om Europeanen voor de gek te houden m.b.t. een door de VS geleide NAVO. Via de SACEUR heeft de VS zeggenschap. 1/3

... the recipe that the VVD under Yesilgöz has fully committed to. She lacks any talent apart from - she thinks - sensing what most people want to hear (she's wrong). What people want and need, of course, is moral leadership: convincing people of things they don't want to hear but need to hear. 2/2

I think we underestimate such capacity. People are generally well aware that policy is not simple, but if politicians keep telling them that things are simple and encourage very one-sided views (because it's very cheap politics), then don't be surprised that it resonates. This is for example... 1/2

Dit is gaslighting. Een Amerikaanse SACEUR is een garantie voor afhankelijkheid, onzekerheid en teloorgang. Ik kan me niet voorstellen dat jij daar in trapt. Snel naar een NAVO die zonder VS kan, zelfs als dan uiteraard kritische capaciteiten voor moeten worden opgegeven.

Put in your file: Today the US attacks the ICC because, supposedly, it doesn't have jurisdiction over US citizens... tomorrow it will claim the EU doesn't have the legitimacy to regulate USian business activities in Europe. This is by no means about the ICC, it is 100% about attacking Europe.
