Today’s Russian papers on Trump/Greenland: “Europe’s at a total loss. It’s a pleasure to watch.” Government paper: “Europe doesn’t need the American greatness Trump is promoting…the Old World's keen to keep Greenland for itself, even at the risk of Nato’s collapse.” #ReadingRussia

Unhinged

Unfortunately there are now 39 dead people. Another tragedy in Spain.

😲😲😲😲😲

At least 24 dead so far near Cordoba where two trains collided. One is clearly a high speed Iryo train. It's been my favourite to travel with. I used to call it the Ferrari of trains. What went wrong is not clear yet. Dozens injured many in critical condition.

"Shared assessment that tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and are incompatible with the EU-US trade agreement" Costa

She seems to know him well.

The latest blackmail coming out of the US!

"A French media report says Ukrainian intelligence stopped sharing high-value intelligence with the U.S. after concluding American leaks were reaching Moscow, citing a severe breakdown of trust during the Trump administration." Ed Krassenstein If proven true I wouldn't be surprised.

"Europeans project weakness, US projects strength." US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent It is with sadness but I agree with this statement. Those who read my posts know I have spoken of weakness by the EU. Partly we have to blame ourselves. The same applies to the UK btw.

"Europe faces key moment - act like a vassal, get treated like one, or draw line in the sand." Maria Tadeo, Head of EU News Spot on. We should draw a line. As an EU citizen I'm happy to live with any consequences. Life goes on without Trump & US. 🇪🇺 www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

A new statement re. the Greenland and tariff crisis. I think it's been well worded.

"The President’s threat to impose a 10 per cent tariff is another sign that the UK should turn away from Washington and towards its allies in Europe". www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

The German BILD reports that the 15 Bundeswehr soldiers are leaving Greenland!!! Apparently the order came from Berlin this morning. It isn't clear yet why this hasty and secret 'retreat'. Yesterday my first reaction was "they will withdraw". There we go. This is so embarrassing. 🥺

No statement by Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor yet. Neither yesterday nor today so far. Only his press office gave a short statement. Something brewing!

"Macron will request, on behalf of France, the activation of the EU’s anti-coercion instrument during discussions with fellow European leaders today France will also raise the question of the validity of the EU-US tariff agreement concluded in 2025." Sophie Pedder 🔥

"One Europhile MP in a Leave-voting swing seat told me that their argument for Europe would be based on the price of butter and energy" New Statesman When I read this it makes me sad and I don't want the UK back. If the EU is only good enough for cheaper butter and energy then what's the point?

All EU countries that have qualified for the World Cup in the US should immediately withdraw their participation. That would be far more harmful to the Orange and the US than any other type of response. The World Cup is a very corrupt event anyway. No big loss.

I don't think Brits would drop dead by no longer consuming Cadburys, Walkers Crisps or HP sauce. Perhaps Gary Lineker's 'salt & vinegar' bank account would suffer a bit but I have a feeling he would survive it.

Good thread by Bergmann. Recommended reading. Indeed we EU citizens are fed up and we want our leaders to push back. That's where we have a problem. Our EU leaders so far have been weak. We need to be strong and courages. The EU is in an abusive relationship with the US. We must leave it.

I wonder if UK politicians and in particular the Labour party finally wake up? The UK's future should be again with the EU and not the US. The "special relationship" is dead. Make a choice now UK.

I wonder how all those so-called British trade experts feel today that the UK can pursue trade deals with both the EU and the US, and that Brexit gives the UK that freedom.

No surprise really. Starmer sucking up to Trump for a better trade deal has always been wrong just as his 'make Brexit work' approach has always been wrong. Starmere is a failed PM. He lacks integrity. The sooner the UK gets rid of him the better.

I spoke to the @financialtimes.com on Trump's Greenland tariff threat www.ft.com/content/6055...

This is now the EU's opportunity to get their act together. They need to be bold, strong and fearless. 🇪🇺

Good. This weak deal should not have happened in the first place. You can't appease a bully. They come back and bully more. Just like wife beaters. They never stop. It's best the EU terminates the relationship with Trump.

Still think Brexit was a good idea? Still think the UK shouldn't join the EU? Still think the application process shouldn't start now?

So what can we immediately do as individuals given that Trump is now blackmailing us and has imposed tariffs: 1️⃣ Stop buying US products & services 2️⃣ Stop going on holidays in the US 3️⃣ Don't go to the world cup That's the minimum.

The 🇬🇧: We need BREXIT for a better "special relationship" and better free trade with the 🇺🇸 The 🇺🇸: Slaps tariffs on the 🇬🇧 too. Sorted.

Trump has slapped a 10% tariff going up to 25% on all goods "sent" to the US until the "total purchase of Greenland". Countries affected amongst others are Denmark, France, Germany and that "special relationship" country UK. It made me laugh that he included the UK 🤣

I always still liked Tony Blair a bit despite Iraq. But now that he is on the 'Gaza Peace Board' chaired by Trump I'm done with Blair too. It's all about power, money and business for them.

Yep exactly. And this is also Starmer and Labour's game. Be silent on Brexit as they have mainly been for the last four if not five years now. They want to sweep Brexit under the carpet so people forget about it. Instead who and what can we blame?

Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on all countries not supporting his plan to take over Greenland. I know it's far more serious but you gotta laugh sometimes 😂🤡

Isn't it almost funny how one Brexit Tory after the other now show their true colours. Not that we didn't know but now they don't mind to admit it to the public that they are right-wing and even join Reform.

Keir Starmer and Labour 'misleading' the public. For a start Jenrick was immigration minister after Brexit. At that point the UK was already 'controlling the borders'. In any case there was never an open border anyway. This is Starmer spouting right-wing rhetoric again. I almost pity the man!

♥️🇪🇺

An account on here thinks it's inappropriate that 🇩🇪 soldiers amongst others from various countries participate in a mission to Greenland because of the war 1939 - 1945. As a 🇩🇪 born in the 1960s my and younger generations have nothing to do with the NAZIS and we're not responsible for what happened!

Germany to send an "exploration team" to Greenland but it's really soldiers 🇩🇪

Oh wow! Good!

🚨🇪🇺 Brexit WOW moment 🇪🇺🚨 The Brexitgraph Telegraph published a full-blown obituary for Brexit: 📉 GDP down 8% 📉 Investment down 18% 📉 Productivity down 4% 📉 Employment down 4% ❌ No trade benefits ❌ No regulatory freedom ❌ No upside whatsoever Do you agree it’s time to end Brexit?

Just one week later and the hand is even weaker

"I don’t think we’ve got the Brexit people voted for." So Brexit itself isn't the issue. It's just the wrong one. Thanks for pointing this out Mr Byrne a LABOUR MP.

The way things are going The Orange is going to 'annex' Brexit Island next after Greenland in the interest of national security. The EU as always would 'monitor' the situation.

"Starmer U-turns on plans for mandatory digital ID cards" Sky I can't believe how shit Starmer and Labour are. Another u-turn and own goal for nothing 😂

Election date in Hungary is on 12 April. Now that is one I look forward to. Either the opposition wins or the EU must find a way to kick Hungary out of the EU if that traitor Orban wins again. It's up to Hungarians now.

I completely support the EU on this 🇪🇺

'Secretary Kennedy' has now deleted his insane tweet on Germany and Health Secretary Warken whom he addressed with 'Workin'. The Orange administration is so dump it's unbelievable. Don't put your US nose in our superior German health care system. Sort out your measles outbreak in the US instead.

All committees at the @europarl.europa.eu are being blue checked.

Germany guarantees health care as a universal right. The US treats it as a market product to make profit. Germany covers everyone. The US doesn’t. Germans live a healthier life. Life expectancy is higher in Germany than in the US. Don't lecture us on health in 🇩🇪. Fuck off 🇺🇸
