The thing I find the most annoying about today's realists, is how they cling on to the idea of Russia being a great power that somehow deserves a sphere of influence. The last 3 years have proven the opposite.

We are still in the American shadow. Macron, Merz, von der Leyen are stepping out of it, but Starmer, Schoof, Duda, and Rutte are still under it.

One of the most tiresome MAGA propaganda myths is "Trump told Europe to rearm, and they didn't". U.S media did a bad job reporting the truth to Americans which is: Trump told us to rearm in 2016, then told us to only buy American weapons in 2017, and when we refused he told us to stop rearming.

It's a matter for the courts. A government could block it, as Hungary intend to do, but the idea that the Home Secretary orders police to arrest people is what Tommy Robinson's supporters claim. I find it weird how so many so called progressives want to push the same conspiracy theory.
