It is time to stand up to the Trump administration’s whims. Let us renew the invitation to South Africa to attend the Evian summit. If the United States wishes to leave the G20, let it be the first to do so. And let it hold instead a G2 summit in Mar-a-Lago in December 🇺🇸🇷🇺.

To understand why the USA is where it is today, all you need to do is see that Trump cannot tolerate even the mildest, insightful criticism from the Pope, but Trump will allow Putin to humiliate him deeply and constantly, while still craving Putin’s approval.

Madman at work. Currently about 2 mbd of crude are exiting the Gulf to serve clients such as China. Wondering where Brent is going? Spoiler: up

Russia is sending migrants through underground tunnels from Belarus into Europe as part of its hybrid war on the West. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

❗️Russia's fourth-largest oil refinery, Lukoil's Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez, halted operations on April 5 after a Ukrainian drone attack, potentially disrupting fuel supplies until the end of the month. #Russia

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.

Non, la guerre contre l'Iran ne devrait pas encore plus profiter à la Russie ! Ce sont les frappes dans le Golfe qu'il faut faire arrêter, pas celles qui visent l'appareil de guerre russe.

“The policy of subordination has failed: it has weakened Europe, discredited its leaders and deepened internal divisions,” writes Christian Spillmann. The problem is our ostrich leadership in Brussels (VDL & Rutte) don’t seem to have any other ideas. europemorningpost.substack.com/p/the-end-of...

Trump is screaming at Europe that he will never defend it. Time for Europe to just accept this and move on.

If the test of a theory is its predictive power, then Trump-Russia is the most robust theory in all contemporary political science.

Just sent this out, mostly free. The Epstein files show just how close he was to Russian sources. They also make it clear that Epstein represented a historic opportunity to collect Kompromat on the rich and famous. Nothing would terrify a narcissist more. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Et je vois des observateurs souffler et même crier à la victoire des Européens après les propos de Trump qui dit ne pas envisager une action militaire au Groenland : ça n’a aucune valeur, et la guerre commence par l’économie.

Le boycott de la coupe du monde de foot est une très bonne action: coût modéré pour les nations qui l'appliquent, coût important, ne serait-ce que symboliquement, pour les États-Unis. #BoycottWorldCup

This is it, Europe. It's now or never. Do you want to be vassal states of America, or do you want to be sovereign? The choices you make at this moment will determine your future for decades.

A major escalation in the 🇺🇸🇪🇺 conflict. The 🇪🇺Parliament has no choice now but to kill the surrender deal that 🇪🇺President von der Leyen struck with Trump in July. The lesson is clear: this man cannot be appeased. How will Europe's leaders respond?

Gros souvenirs de l'élève "monsieur j'ai pas fait mon devoir de toute façon je suis idiot"

L'enlèvement d'un chef d'État en exercice est dans l'état de mes connaissances un événement exceptionnel. Quand un événement est rare, une façon de l'analyser est de trouver un autre type d'événements qui s'en rapproche.

For those deliberately misleading people tonight that a Trump retweet means he is souring on Putin, please cast your mind back almost a year ago to this Trump tweet threatening Putin. It’s a regular tactic Trump used to trick fools. There are sadly lots of them.

ALERTE GENERALE ! Une pétition a été lancée sur le site de l'Assemblée nationale demandant que le gouvernement arrête d'utiliser X pour ses communications officielles. On signe toutes et tous pour lui donner le maximum de visibilité. C'est ici : petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/...

And for those who do not get it, the ultimate fault is Europe’s. Europeans put their faith in the USA and did not take their own security seriously. Europe is reaping what it sowed.

The idea that the blame should be focussed on trusting Trump is dodging the truth. The US population chose Trump, even after Jan 6, 2021, even after he talked about leaving NAT0 and after he talked about his respect for Putin. It is the action of the USA as a political entity.

Just sent out this post. For Europeans to start looking after their own security one step seems vital, they need to stop genuflecting to official Washington, which always "hopewashes" the policies of Donald Trump. Unless Europe can think for itself, it will fail. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Depuis un an les États-Unis ont causé énormément de dommages au monde, à l'Europe, à la France. Même si cela comporte des coûts pour nous, nous Européens devons enfin commencer à nous y opposer, et sérieusement. #resistUSA

Sur les 10 derniers mois, quelques exemples d'initiatives que j'ai prises pour remplacer des services digitaux américains par des services européens dans le cadre de mon activité professionnelle d'indépendant gérant une petite entreprise.

Hi All, free weekend update is out. This was the best week for Ukraine/Europe since November 5, 2024. The new US Security Strategy confirms without a doubt that Trump is out to attack Europe (and cripple Ukraine). After months of a con, the truth is undeniable. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

This is Zelenskyy's "if necessary for years, if necessary alone" moment. A chapter in history that will be remembered both for the shame of Washington's betrayal, and for the dignity, bravery, defiance and resolve of the Ukrainian people in the face of it all.

Règle d'hygiène quotidienne, répéter cinq fois tous les matins: "L'alliance entre l'Europe et les États-Unis est morte", "L'alliance entre l'Europe et les États-Unis est morte"...

Another evidence that Trump is fully aligned with Moscow—something I've been saying all along. This so-called DC plan is Russia's plan, and would amount not only to Ukraine's surrender, but also to an incentive for Russia to attack Europe. A non-starter and a disgrace. www.ft.com/content/2353...

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

"Monsieur les russes débarquent a Brest" "Ahlala on va quand même pas déclencher une guerre... allez ils ont été plus forts on se rend"

Leaving the morality of it all aside for a moment, as difficult as that may be to do, I want Gen-Z leftists to read up on the political trajectory in the Netherlands following the assassination of Pim Fortuyn. Political violence is a strategic disaster, not just an ethical one.

Russia attacks Poland deliberately, the Trump response…”It could’ve been a mistake.” Any European state basing its defense plans on the US defending it from a Russian attack is living in a fantasy world and deliberately exposing its citizens to great risk.

Sérieusement, si les Ribbentrop-Molotov du 10 septembre me cassent les couilles, je ferai tout ce que je peux pour me défendre et leur nuire. Le mouvement social, oui. Le mouvement factieux, fasciste et/ou stalinien, NTM.

To talk about the prospect of a "just and lasting peace" is nothing but uttering empty and light words if there is no victory plan for Ukraine first.

Moscow is demanding that Ukraine “accepts reality” and withdraws from territory Russia hasn’t been able to conquer after 11 years of war and 1 million casualties because they refuse to accept the reality that Russia can’t conquer Donetsk.

#3 Transition to EU digital services: I have replaced my Kinsta Wordpress managed hosting (a good solution) with German Hostpress and am quite satisfied. Here are my takeaways of the switch: #europeanalternatives www.reddit.com/r/webhosting...

This unAmerican life: can you really divest yourself of everything from the US?

#2 Transition from US digital tools to European or Canadian ones: for professional e-mails, switched from Microsoft Exchange Online to German Mailbox.org. So far so good. #European #Alternatives

📈 Since Trump was elected as the president of the USA, many people are rightfully looking for alternatives to US tech companies. The last two months, European Alternatives had an unbelievable increase in traffic. In light of that, I'll open up the analytics data: plausible.io/european-alt...

Come hither... "European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products." Made by @constantin_graf (X) european-alternatives.eu

Just switched from #Stripe to Dutch #Mollie for a small Woommerce shop. So far so good. Mollie is more expensive for EU cards (1,8%), 1,5% for Stripe but cheaper for French "Cartes bancaires" cards (most of French cards): 1,2%. So it makes even sense financially for French online shops. #boycottUS

Et compte Airbnb définitivement supprimé #boycottUS

Regardless of the outcome of today's election in the USA, the fact that it's so close should be a reminder of our dependence on the US tech companies and legislation. Promote and use European alternatives and if you are from the US go vote! european-alternatives.eu #USElection2024

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

I am quite happy with a Kinsta hosting plan (Single 125k) for a WP/Woo site but I want to switch to a European host that would also offer comparable premium managed hosting for Wordpress. I have seen German Raidboxes and Norwegian Servebolt. Any advice? #wphosting #kinsta #wordpress
