Young Europeans will make Europe more united! For them, a European Army is more attractive than national armies or even NATO. That is what today’s politicians need to have in mind! ⬇️ www.politico.eu/article/unit...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

This is the most important issue facing Europe right now! If chat control is enacted it will give access to your private messages that even the Stasi would have been proud of. This measure is dressed up to protect the children, but any authoritarian or fascist regime could use it to quash dissent.

Nice, that should get us to the end of Trump's presidency regardless of what happens. And seeing as the US is not going to be funding any more aid, timely.

Great article by @michaeldweiss.bsky.social Well worth reading! Personally I think Trump's comments will have an oversized effect on bringing his base to a more pro Ukrainian stance, where already the vast majority of US citizens support Ukraine and abhor Putin. open.substack.com/pub/macspaun...

Well if russian drones or russian aircraft enter NATO airspace after this threat of war from russia. They must be shot down on sight as they are quite clearly belligerent. Then all russian ships must be blocked from crossing the danish straits. By European Navies and Air forces.

Thread. I’d add that RU aircraft were engaged at the time in combat operations and regularly straying into Turkish airspace while striking Turkish allies in Syria. Suspect Turkey had also signaled RU to stop it or else, probably repeatedly.

The US ceased to be a reliable NATO ally on January 20, 2025. The last week has simply made that undeniable. The only question now is whether European leaders accept it. The USA will not now defend Europe from Russia. That is reality. Everything else is hopes and dreams.

Quite an enlightening article from Prof. Michael Kimmage and @linaskojala.bsky.social that sheds light on the current machinations and relevant historical aspects which have led to the White House meeting and the results achieved. In essence, Europe albeit slowly is taking control of its future.

Been trying to explain and to warn about this for years and the main reason I was hesitant to ever criticise President Biden or Jake Sullivan, it's very difficult for Europeans to rely on US made weapons, this was true under Biden and par for the course with Trump

I really hope this is not true. I have to say this whole debacle is unnerving, the US administration was humiliated by a long time rival and I'm not completely sure they understand it. There is no 4D chess going on, it is really quite sad. Putin's Double just bought Russia more time on sanctions.
