As a Dane, I know many wonderful Americans, but it feels as if 80 years of American transatlantic interests, trust, and global esteem haven’t just faltered - all plunged off a cliff.

Trust in America has collapsed, not just under this administration, but across decades of goodwill we thought were solid. It’s no longer about gritting our teeth; it’s realizing the transatlantic bond is being rewritten, with Europe increasingly cast as a convenient adversary.

The EU isn’t creating new speech restrictions. The DSA just forces big tech to follow existing national laws and give users real tools to report illegal content. More transparency, more rights, less bullshit. That’s it.

Ironically, Peskov is essentially the press secretary for the don of a state-sized criminal mafia syndicate.

Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union is clear: the Union is founded on democracy, rule of law & human rights. Orbán’s illiberal Hungary violates these core principles - and cannot truly belong in the EU while doing so.

In the DSA, “illegal content” is nothing new — it’s simply a catch-all for what EU or national law already forbids. The Act doesn’t reinvent the rulebook; it just forces tech giants to finally play by it.

Big egos are like broken windows: they need to be fixed before they destroy the whole house.

A world order shaped by Russian national chauvinism: hybrid warfare replaces diplomacy, economic coercion supplants trade, and sovereignty yields to a doctrine of fear. States must appease or be destabilized - for defiance is met not with debate, but subversion.

Well, you cannot win hearts with fire. No regime endures, nor peace prevails, when civilians lie buried beneath rubble, their homes turned to ash, their lives to grief. Bombs sow fear, not freedom. Bombing for peace is like f**ing for virginity

I’m genuinely puzzled — how does a European law like the Digital Services Act end up dictating what Americans can say online? Did Brussels secretly rewrite the First Amendment overnight? 🤨🇪🇺➡️🇺🇸

The betrayal of European allies and Western values cuts deep. Over here, we’re gritting our teeth, watching in disbelief. I fear the damage is beyond repair. America as a beacon of hope, trust, and freedom - it feels like a closed chapter in the a history book.

Blaming oligarchs is too easy. Money doesn’t brainwash a nation on its own. The real issue is how willing people are to be exploited - how primed they are by resentment(s) and disillusionment. That’s what I think they’re tapping into?
