Ausgerechnet die italienische & die deutsche Regierung glauben, Appeasement sei gegen ein autoritäres, zunehmend faschistisches Regime die richtige Antwort. Fehlt nur noch Orban, dann ist der 🇪🇺 Spaltpilz perfekt und die rechtsradikale Internationale um Bannon & Heritage hat ganze Arbeit geleistet.

⚔️ War has ceased to be merely an instrument of Russian policy—it has become its foundation. There has been a transition from an authoritarian state to a military dictatorship. War has been institutionalized as a model of state existence. Read our article 📖 theukrainianreview.info/how-russia-t...

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha responds to Orban:

Brexit is costing up to 8% of GDP growth and destroying all of the government's hopes for economic growth.

Trump shenanigans contributing to Iceland decision to hold a referendum on joining the European Union. It will be the 11th non-EU country to apply to join. If this continues, Britain will be almost alone in Europe in being outside the EU, isolated, poorer and weaker.

Good news for basically everyone, and Europeans in particular: You don’t HAVE to stay dependent on US big tech. Being digitally colonised is a choice. buy-european.net/en/alternati...

Tired of hearing how weak Europe is? Make no mistake: if Europe is under attack today not only by Russia, but also China and the US, it’s because it offers a credible, and threatening, alternative to their models of power Read @projectsyndicate.bsky.social www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/e...

B4Ukraine Position on Human-Centred, Just Peace Negotiations: bit.ly/4aLpkVn

Elon Musk keeps flirting with chaos and calling it “free speech”. Europe won’t take democracy lessons from a billionaire who toys with extremism to stay relevant. And yes — Poland’s Foreign Minister just delivered the comeback of the year.

The new US National Security Strategy, fully Vancian, shows its hostility towards Europe & its cozy relationship with Russia. Chilling, but at least clear: the US is no longer our ally, just the opposite. Perfect points from @phillipspobrien.bsky.social. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-new-us...

🔥 Join us in demanding an end to corporate complicity in Russia’s war. As the holiday season kicks in and people begin shopping for Christmas gifts, global firms—many of which are still in Russia—stand ready to profit despite fueling an ongoing war and human suffering. We must hold them accountable.

The European Parliament stands firm for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. Today’s resolution makes one message clear: Europe must lead in defending international law by supporting Ukraine and shaping the future of our own security. 🔗 Read more: link.europa.eu/y4JKNF

New data confirms the economic toll of Brexit: up to £90 billion lost in annual tax revenue and a reduction in GDP per capita between £2,700 and £3,700, according to the UK House of Commons Library and the National Bureau of Economic Research. 1/3

"Flattery of Donald Trump is an integral part of the EU's tactics, no matter how humiliating the exercise. Avoiding disaster takes precedence over everything else. But does 'Daddy diplomacy' actually work?" "Faced with allies willing to become vassals, appetite grows with eating."

Let’s check in on the MAGA ‘patriots’ from Russia, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kenya, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Iran - spreading their ‘patriotism’ worldwide.

This address by President Zelenskyy is heart-wrenching. Faced with the—expected— US betrayal, he must be able to count on Europe. If Europe does not help Ukraine defeat russia by all necessary means, it will bury its dignity, its principles, its legitimacy—and its security.

Completing Europe: Ukraine’s integration is a strategic imperative

⚡️ Ukraine moves forward in EU accession talks after presenting major reforms in agriculture, digitalization, and market regulation in Brussels.

GOOD MORNING! ☕ A fresh day, a fresh chance to dream of a reunited Europe. The #EU is about people, partnerships, and peace. Let’s #ReJoinEU and build a brighter future. 💙 #FBPE #PeoplesVote #GoodMorning

What are EU citizens' priorities? Inflation, Poverty, EU defence, Jobs, Public health.... Virtually ALL policy areas where EU governments - not the EU - remain on the driving seat.

Words fail me when I see how Starmer ignores the terrible consequences of Brexit and does not listen to his voters, who want the UK to rejoin the EU! We have been fighting against Brexit for many years —but Starmer is doing nothing. He is a coward. Starmer is not a European. He must be voted out!

‼️🤬 29,200 drones were launched by the Russians in the first seven months of 2025, 11 times more than in the same period in 2024. During the same period, they launched 951 missiles.

Democratic leaders & commentators really need to stop repeating this insane phrase, “We must bring Putin back to the negotiations table.” There can be no negotiations whatsoever with Russia. Peace will only come through military victory. No table, but a dark cell in The Hague for Russian criminals.

🚨 The executive order issued by the White House does not implement two crucial aspects of the EU-US trade deal. - It doesn't decrease tariffs on EU cars from 25% to 15% - It doesn't introduce 0% tariffs for "strategic" products

Frontal attack on democratically adopted legislation. Key question: will @eppgroup.bsky.social stand up for European democracy or for corporate America? @alemanno.bsky.social

I disagree that Europe had 'no other choice' but to sign the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 🇬🇧🇺🇸 surrender deals with Trump. But even if this were true, how can Europeans be content with such a situation? This continent needs an independence revolution. Here's how to get there:

The EU must respond assertively to Trump by: 1. Retaliating against Trump's import tariffs with tit-for-tat measures. 2. Banning X throughout the EU because it spreads far-right propaganda. 3. Responding resolutely if Trump repeats that he wants to take over Greenland. 4. Protesting against ICE.

The EU must change its promise to buy hundreds of billion of dollars of American #fossilfuels, electricity sector lobby Eurelectric urged in the wake of Sunday's controversial EU-US trade deal. www.euractiv.com/section/eet/...

🇪🇺Europe Must Stop Paying Tribute to Washington The EU’s $1.35 trillion trade and energy concessions to Donald Trump cement Europe’s junior‑partner status. Unless leaders endure short‑term pain, they will sacrifice long‑term power and sovereignty. www.frenchdispatch.eu/p/europe-us-...

Europe doesn't have the cards. National leaders are to blame. They keep Europe small, so they can feel big. Intra-EU barriers in the single market cost us more than Trump's tariffs. Europe's weakness is not unavoidable, it is a choice. My blog on 👉 open.substack.com/pub/sophiein...

Terror cannot be tolerated as diplomacy. Europe must stay united, principled, and determined to protect peace through strength. 2/2

russia continues its war of terror against civilians. Two russian ballistic iskander-k missiles flew over my house in Kyiv. Whistling sound, then explosions that shake everything around. Just imagine there's a nation of sick warmongers that enjoy daily killing of children sleeping in their homes.

From NATO's "daddy" grovelling in The Hague to the EU's 'peace in our time' capitulation in Turnberry, this has been Europe's Surrender Summer. We will enter Autumn in a submissive posture thanks to our leaders' betrayal of their citizens. Is it still possible to flip around?

Increased spending on defense and a new Russian conscription law are signs of the Kremlin's increasingly aggressive posture and preparations for future conflict with Europe and NATO states, according to analysts.

Despite claiming to exit Russia in 2023, Leroy Merlin remains the country’s largest foreign retailer, paying at least $375M in taxes to the Kremlin since 2022, per KSE Institute. Russian propaganda now claims the company’s products are used by the military. Read more: bit.ly/4586nb5 #ExitRussia

La Maison Blanche vient de publier un communiqué triomphal sur le 'deal' commercial avec l’UE, présenté comme un accord historique, structurel et stratégique. Mais … ce texte va bien au-delà de tout ce que l’on savait jusqu’ici.

Exactly! This deal is scandalous, and as a European I'm very angry at Von der Leyen and her team, for under this EU-US agreement, EU steel will remain subject to the US's global 50% tariff on metal imports - which seriously undermines EU economy. The EU must strike back at the fascist bully Trump!

Believe it or not, the EU-US trade deal just got messier. The White House has published a fact-sheet about the agreement with claims that directly contradict the European Commission's version of events. Let's take a closer look.

For the Brussels bubble, 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's surrender to Trump yesterday was infuriating but not surprising. If you'd like to know more about VDL's backstory which made it unlikely that she would stand up for Europe, here's my piece from January:

Europe negotiated the EU-US deal from weakness—and it shows. The 15% tariff was already the de facto rate for the past few months (10% Liberation Day tariffs + ~5% MFN). It beats 25% on key sectors. But locking it in permanently? What was unthinkable a year ago is now the new baseline. 1/

pourquoi l’UE signe-t-elle un accord aussi asymétrique et déséquilibré ? parce qu’elle n’est pas politiquement unifiée. Une véritable fédération aurait pu négocier d’égal à égal. Une confédération peu structurée est contrainte d'accepter ce qu'on lui donne.

President Macron, "Have the problems, the illegal migration problems of Great Britain from 9 years ago been resolved by Brexit?" "No" "British people were lied to that the problem was the European Union"

I subtitled this from Macron because no UK politician has ever said, or indeed would DARE say this so clearly (most notably Labour) for fear of offending Brexit voters It was Brexit which CAUSED the small boats problem by ditching all existing legal EU/UK frameworks

Macron to the UK: "Never cede to the temptation of populism which is the denial of science or a travesty of the facts. Populists sold you a response which is through nationalist withdrawal. Budgetary, immigration, growth problems from 9 years ago. Were they solved by Brexit? No."

Important to engage with private sector representatives at today's business roundtable, which I co-chaired with Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. The EU reforms implemented by Ukraine give businesses certainty & predictability to invest. Together, we are rebuilding a more modern Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

In the 9 years since the Brexit ref, Europe has learned that Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the EU, NATO and Western Democracy. A reveral of Brexit would therefore be seen as a defeat of fascism and a great victory for both the EU and the whole European idea. 🇬🇧🇪🇺🕊
