  • Do you know Von Der Leyen is working on a new independent satellite system Eutelstat en IRIS to replace starlink and help ukraine? It was her proposal. Ursula von der Leyen doing a lot of great things for Europe make no mistake. I honestly don’t care about her pfizer gate, because thats how negotiations work in politics. It cant be all transparant because why show all your cards on first hand… Thats not how that business works. I think she handled it well. She’s also working to make Europe less dependent on oil and gas, but to rely more on green energy sources. Plus we have multiple parties representing different groups in the EU. Instead of having only 2 or 4 like in the US. Plus we investing in science and universities, climate, or own independent software and satellites… So yes we doing good under Von Der Leyen imo.

    Plus she is a woman on the top, which is such a good example for little girls to see how far they can go in life which I am here for.


  • Although it‘s questionable how effective a ban will be because some of their members will definitely start a new far right party immediately.

    True, its also America meddling in Europe with their far right allies to overthrow European government and replace them with far right leaders, still it baffles me how many people are so racist. Not just in Germany this is also happening in The Netherlands. Fucking shameful… I try to win people over but they keep being racists, its kind of hard to bring them to have empathy for others, just makes me hopeless for this world and idk if I wanna live in it tbh my moral compass in the way




  • Trump hardliners want a power shift in the EU with the help of European allies. and this is one example.

    Translation:

    There are increasing indications that the Trump movement is actively interfering with the political future of the European Union. In March, the most influential conservative think tank in Washington, the Heritage Foundation, invited conservative thinkers from Vienna and Budapest to present their plans for the EU during a workshop.

    “It is right for the United States to be involved in the future of Europe,” Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation told Nieuwsuur. According to the prominent conservative thinker, Donald Trump is America’s first eurosceptic president. “The United States has protected Europe for so long that European governments should respect America’s views.”

    Polish and Hungarian think tanks published an ambitious plan in March to fundamentally reform and dismantle the EU from within. A Hungarian investigative journalist uncovered the project, titled The Great Reset. The proposal was quickly adopted by the Heritage Foundation, the intellectual force behind Project 2025, the ideological blueprint for Trump’s agenda.

    Power Back to Nation States

    The now-public roadmap includes proposals to strip power from the European Commission and the European Court of Justice. It also calls for renaming the EU to the “European Community of Nations.” Power, according to the document, should return to the individual nation states of Europe.

    “These proposals essentially amount to the complete dismantling of the European Commission, which would be reduced to handling only trivial matters,” explains Szabolcs Panyi, the journalist who obtained the document.

    Nieuwsuur also spoke with one of the Polish authors of the plan, Zbigniew Przybyłowski of the conservative Ordo Iuris Institute: “We are calling for the restoration of democracy, freedom, and the sovereignty of nations. You could call that a power shift.”

    “It’s quite unusual for such an article to appear on the U.S. State Department’s website.”

    U.S. Government Statement on Europe

    In May of this year, a policy document appeared on the website of the U.S. State Department. In it, the American government raised alarm about the current state of Europe. The policy piece described Europe as having “degenerated into a hotbed of digital censorship, mass migration, and restrictions on religious freedom.” It criticized efforts to limit election participation, for example by labeling Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) as “extremist.”

    The document, titled The Need for Civilizational Allies in Europe, called for strengthening ties with far-right and ultraconservative allies in Europe, such as French politician Marine Le Pen, AfD leader Alice Weidel, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and Dutch PVV leader Geert Wilders. It is unclear whether the U.S. policy statement was influenced by the Polish-Hungarian Great Reset project.

    “There has already been collaboration between the MAGA movement (Trump’s Make America Great Again campaign) and the European far-right,” says Danish lobby researcher Kenneth Haar. “But seeing such a document appear on the U.S. government’s official website is remarkable.”

    “The Pro-European Candidate is a Disaster”

    Haar points to the Conservative Political Action Conferences (CPAC) from the U.S., which have been held in Europe for the past three years. “These are very large conferences with hundreds of participants and prominent speakers, involving all major far-right parties in Europe.”

    This also occurred recently during a tight race between two Polish presidential candidates. At a special CPAC conference in Poland, Trump’s former Homeland Security Secretary publicly called for a vote in favor of the eurosceptic candidate Karol Nawrocki. She labeled his pro-European opponent “a disaster.” Members of the Trump camp also expressed explicit support this year for Germany’s far-right AfD.

    “The Heritage Foundation and the entire MAGA alliance appear to be succeeding in uniting Europe’s far-right parties in a way those parties haven’t been able to achieve on their own,” Haar adds.

    Nile Gardiner, Director of European Policy at the Heritage Foundation, sees signs of a shift already: “A wind of change is blowing through Europe, including the Netherlands. There’s growing distrust of the concentration of power among unelected bureaucrats in Brussels.”

    Brussels Silent

    The European Commission has yet to respond to the ambitions coming from Washington. But according to Hungarian journalist Panyi, Brussels should be paying close attention to the far-reaching American involvement in European politics.

    “We see that two EU member states—Hungary and Poland—are trying to shape the future of the EU outside of official decision-making procedures. They are enlisting the help of the U.S. in the hope that Trump will put pressure on the European Commission. That’s a threat.”

    Gardiner, on the other hand, sees it as an opportunity. “Europe works best when it is a collaboration between sovereign nation states. The EU, by contrast, is about concentrating political power in Brussels. In 20 to 30 years, the EU will look very different than it does today.”

    Disclosure

    For this report, Nieuwsuur investigated the plans of European and American think tanks regarding the political future of Europe. Nieuwsuur spoke with experts, MEPs, and journalists from France, the Netherlands, Czechia, Hungary, the UK, Germany, and Poland. We interviewed the following sources:

    The U.S. State Department declined to comment on Nieuwsuur’s questions. The European Commission has not yet responded. Any future statements will be added here.

    They should focus on their own political system… We like democracy, F*** off





  • My Israelian friend told me they grew up with bombings every week for the last 30 years and that having a bomb shelter was normal and needed… Hearing on the news that a mall, a club, a restaurant or even a bus were blown up. They used to go with a gas mask to school because there were always under threat of chemical attacks… so idk how hamas does a better job at avoiding civilian casualties than the IDF does since Israel been under attack for 30 years by Hamas according to my friend. But ATM yes, I agree IDF is deffo making a lot more civilian casualties… shooting innocent palestinians at food check points in their crotches…
    What Hamas has been doing for 30 years, IDF is doing right now since october 7 if not worse…

    Its just so crazy. Also because they told me they were taught in school that Arabs are as much a part of Israel as anyone else is. And in general media it’s always the fault of the terror organizations and not the countries themselves… That does not sound like indoctrination against palestinians to me ?

    And is it true that it’s now illegal to be against the genocide in gaza in the UK just because pro palestinians attacked one military base? Aren’t they secure sites? What is happening over there and why are no leaders stepping up the genocide its crazy
