Ukraine's accession to the EU is one of the key security guarantees not only for us, but also for all of Europe. We are talking about a specific date - 2027 - and we are counting on the support of our partners for our position.

Heute am #Holocaustmemorialday werden wieder viele Politiker:innen Posts machen, in denen sie das "Nie wieder" beschwören. Wenn aber Erinnerungskultur nur Symbolpolitik bedeutet, hat sie keinen Wert. "Nie wieder" heute bedeutet: AfD-Verbot einleiten, den russischen Genozid in der Ukraine stoppen.

JFC, CNN, stop with this bullshit "conflicting accounts" of Pretti shooting. The administration is lying, the videos are telling the truth. The man died more than 30 hours ago, we've known the truth for about 29 hours. Get your shit together. MSNOW is rerunning weekday programming so: unwatchable.

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

So, "all" we need to do is to be more united. Add Norway, the U.K., Ukraine, Canada, Australia to Europe as well. Then we are looking good even if we don't have all the long range transport planes that the Americans have.

Media may not have noticed that Trump’s Board of Peace Charter was drafted so that the US need NOT ratify and become a party.Trump’s current status as US President is a necesary stepping stone but his unitary rule in the new international organisation would be personal, permanent and even hereditary

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

Europe’s last year of dealing with Trump could be charitably described as buying time. They weren’t ready to adjust right away.
A more critical take would say in denial, but it’s defensible as exhausting every possibility and showing it’s clearly America’s fault.
That hit its limit. Act or submit.

Europa kan Trump niet stoppen in zijn waanzin, maar beslist geen compromis sluiten op uitgangspunten van territoriale integriteit en zelfbeschikking. Houd de rug recht!
Just how unhinged does Trump have to become before Congress or his Cabinet intervene to stop him? If he wants to impose more taxes on US consumers by raising tariffs, Europe (incl the UK) can't stop him, but it definitely can't compromise on principles of territorial integrity & self determination.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Totally ridiculous, intimidating and imperialistic. The US is no friendly country anymore, but straight forward an enemy of the free world and Europe. We only can react as strong and severe as possible. And NATO soonest, send troops to Greenland, take countermeasures against US.
