Amen, brother. We must develop an independent capabilty. Autocratic regimes cannot be trusted. 🇪🇺
Amen, brother. We must develop an independent capabilty. Autocratic regimes cannot be trusted. 🇪🇺
Some of us are concerned by more than one issue.
It's a TrackPoint, as far as I know. Inside is a little super-sensitive joystick that moves the mouse pointer. I'm currently fixing two laptops and they both have one. More popular in the old days.
You are a poor ally to the Palestinians. Find another cause.
Putin's day is coming.
Hardly. China is anti-democratic.
There will be no peace without strength. I'm sure Putin would love us to invest in housing without the weapons needed to defend them.
Peace can only be achieved through strength. We need the defence capability as we live in a dangerous world with many bad actors.
Great to see this. Europeans need to ramp up defence especially with the unreliability of the US. The more pan-European the initiatives, the better. Europe needs to unite in order to push back the fascist threat.
Exactly.
The technical ingenuity of our brave Ukrainian defenders is going to be a key component in upcoming European security.
It's time for Europeans to unite behind Zelenskyy and become serious about the Russian and American threat.
RIP the USA. How the mighty has fallen.
Meanwhile in Europe we're stuck with 15%. Fuck this guy... and fuck the USA.
Oh man. That graphic got me good. 🤣 Also Greene is a toxic c*nt who should never be listened to, about anything.
He's an utter fool.
Correct me if I'm wrong but support for Reform and Farage is high at the moment. Hatred for Europe and the EU is widespread in the UK, especially among older, poorer white men. I'd say fix that problem first.
That's a healthy Top 5.
This is very important for the future.
A wonderful story.
Anti-democratic scumbags. Democracies should not trade with autocracies.
Lost in translation. We're on to you, comrade.
What's this "We" business, Ivan?
Russia is NOT the Soviet Union.
Try collecting your welfare when your city has been destroyed by war. I'm all for the welfare state but priorites please.
Turns out he can't act presidential, after all.
Hardly surprising. Ukraine is brimming with technical ability. Europe needs to build a similar system and the Ukrainians will be invaluable for that.
More of this please. Ukrainian security is European security.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
The UK seems to be firmly on the side of the US, whatever it does. I think that a common European defence strategy shouldn't include them, at least for now. Too many of them are Trump lovers and have a disdain for the rest of Europe. A Shame.
I fear geopolitics is a little more complicated than that.
To all EU member states. If your democracy backslides, you are no good to anyone anyway.
Can we please stop listening to this abject fool?
As the dust settles from that pathetic Trump military parade…oh man. Completely humiliating. I mean, truly a global embarrassment. Barely anyone showed up, Trump looked impotent, and quite frankly, the military didn’t look great, since the military ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS CRAP
There is no part of this statement I disagree with but you gotta thank Trump for some of the greatest crowd size split-screens ever.
Wow! That's impressive.
Yup.
The Chinese want to dominate the world market like the US once did, but they heavily sudsidise their industry, fix their currency and steal intellectual property from other countries. Not exactly a fair trading partner.
Europe welcomes its brave defenders home 🇪🇺❤️🇺🇦
"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-civ...
Great to see. Time to push back on the autocrats. Shame about Poland but this is a fight that cannot be stopped. People of Europe, please keep the Putin-Trump-loving fascists out of power, wherever possible. Our future depends on it.
Look the their finances. Any Rubles coming in? Always a dead giveaway.
We need to purge Europe of Putin-lovers.
I agree completely.
Please read what I said again. China is an anti-democratic, autocratic regime which works daily to undermine democracies. Hardly a stable trading partner.
Why is it always the Democrats job to clean up after the Republicans? And why are the Republicans never held to account?
America has become a deeply unserious country. youtu.be/6i0pXO5i36s?...
What's your plan to deal with the threat from Russia? Harsh language?
China will try to curry favour with Europe while the US is dysfunctional. They are an anti-democratic, authoritarian nation with active operations against us. Democracies should unite and trade with each other. Canada has all the rare earth minerals Europe needs.
It took me a while, but I can now see a purpose in speaking to the discussion of my departure from Yale for the University of Toronto. Here I address four public framings of last year’s move that arose in recent weeks, which tell us something of our present moment snyder.substack.com/p/last-years...
The US is a write-off these days. Their involvement causes me fear where it used to inspire hope.
Seeing Lindsey Graham there doesn't fill me with confidence.
Forget Taco. Do it anyway. Ukrainian defence is European defence.
More playing for time. They know an idiot sits in the whitehouse.
Certainly not this USA. According to Tim Snyder, the thing that Europe needs to realise about Trump is that he will always disappoint us. I think the US should leave NATO.
This man speaks the truth. Two or three would do it, according to millitary analysts.
Amen to that. Merz is striking a good tone. Plus the Germans are reactivating their war machine and defense research to the applause of the rest of Europe. Europe knows Germany learned the hard lessons. I just hope support for the AfD shrinks like fascism is shrinking in the rest of Europe.
At least most of you learned from your difficult history.
Michael D. is from your neck of the woods politically, Bernie. He also is well on the way to achieving the Bernie look.
Troll harder, dingbat.
Oooh.... so close.
Strike deep. Strike hard. Brave Ukraknian defenders.
He's said that before and done nothing.
Let's keep them out of power.
We need to oppose anti-democratic actors on all fronts. Trade included. They're doing it to us. Democracies Unite.
Not without a trauma.
Donald Tusk is spot-on, as usual.
Would love to have you back. You might need to ship that cabbage, Farage, off to the Kremlin first though. He prefers it there anyway.
Go Gus. We even love you here in Ireland. 🤎
Snyder appeared on Scott Galloway's podcast recently saying that he moved to Toronto for personal reasons, not political, and that he has no intention of giving up the fight in the US. In Europe, we are seeing all the protests over in the US and we are heartened by them. Never give up the fight.
How are they going to pay for this endless war?
It's Trump that we don't need at the NATO summit. The US should just withdraw.
Great to see. Let's get behind Ukraine, our fellow Europeans. 🇺🇦🇪🇺
Please eject Hungary from the EU. They are beyond hope.
Romania has no problem taking aid from the rest of the EU.
RIP noble volunteer.
Looks like the Brits chose their side.
Sure, let's all make a deal with Trump's America, because you know how trustworthy they are.
You're spot on.
If they use seized Western assets then why can't we use seized Russian assets, like the $300 billion?
Rump is a masterclass in how to be an easily manipulated fool.
The US should no longer be a part of multilateral institutions, given their new-found contempt of them. The G7 should become the G6 and not the G8. The US should also withdraw from NATO. America has fallen, folks, and they will soon be our enemy.
Awesome.
Actually he's doing the opposite of what you're saying. Snyder leaving is very worrying.
We can't buy from US defence companies full stop... the US can no longer be trusted.
Canada has waaaay more in common with us Europeans than it does with it's crackhead neighbour. Freedom-loving peoples of the world, unite.
The European and Ukrainian defence contractors are about to become super-rich.
It's all a Fascist tech now. The only good Fascist is a dead Fascist.
That one is just wrong. 🤣
I love this.
I'm deleting all that shit.
The logo is not the important part.
I humbly brofist you, brother, for recognising that he is Peter Thiel's good little princess. 👊
Jesus... That's the most terrifying one I've seen yet... and that's saying something. 🤣
That Fascist, Vance, sure has a wide face. It's like a dinner plate.
I'm calling it... they're beneath pond scum.
Resist. There are more good people in the US than bad. We know that here in Europe and I know the US won't give up it's 249-year old democracy without a fight. You have enjoyed freedom for too long. Do not lose hope, as that is what the Fascists want you to do. Action is the antidote. ❤️
Proud to see our European family rally around President Zelenskyy. His fight is our fight and he is on the front lines of Democracy vs Fascism. Failing to help Ukraine now would be very costly to Europe in the future, so we have to step up. Bold action is required. Unlock the seized Russian assets.
Haha. I said the same.
Even without the sound I could tell he is a complete knob.
