@Teoyaomiquu Trump doesn’t give a shit about the US identity. It’s just about likeminded oligarchic, anti-democratic regimes that need the EU to fall, as to control the entire northern hemisphere - ergo: the world. Hungary is their inside weapon, and they really don’t want to lose that one.

Can someone explain what's the interest of the USA in Hungary? Orban is a pro russian politician, Orban is demanding that Hungary buys only Russian energy products, refusing to diversify and buy American ones. It's like everything against American interests.

@Bure_Vestniq @ivanastradner You are a Ukrainian in the UK. You ran from your own war.

When (not if) Orbán loses this weekend’s election, Europe won’t be out of the woods. He won’t give up power easily. Russia has likely prepared a “regime preservation” package. Expect pressure, instability & Russian operatives on the ground. This will be a major test for the EU.

It’s hard lately not to feel a sense of perpetual loss. The Forest Service is being dismantled, emperor penguins are endangered, increasingly no one can read. These were all choices that could easily have been avoided. We could have built a really wonderful world.

We are spending BILLIONS subsidising US global power projection, while hosting a foreign army that repeatedly threatens to attack us. To attack the people who have been subsidising their global power for 75 years! The same people who send their soldiers to Afghanistan, spending billions and billions of European tax money on a pointless war, only to be mocked publicly and without ever receiving as much as a thank you card. THE USA IS THE NATO FREELOADERS‼️ #YankeeLeeches x.com/i/grok/share/7…

@Theo_Roy33 Het langetermijndoel van Rutte is gegarandeerd het voortbestaan van de NAVO inclusief Amerika - in stabielere vorm. Hoe smerig het ook oogt, Rutte is mijns inziens bizar loyaal naar z’n opdrachtgever en bereid zichzelf volkomen weg te cijferen om aan de opdracht te voldoen.

Hebben mensen er weleens over nagedacht dat Mark Rutte wellicht lange termijn 4D aan het schaken is met Donald Trump? Vergeet niet dat de republikeinen na deze periode van Trump compleet klaar zijn. Misschien zelfs al voor de verkiezingen door impeachments, opstanden of door de bizar slechte gezondheid van Trump. Het zou mij niets verbazen als Mark Rutte zinspeelt op: de boel pappen en nathouden zolang de boel maar bij elkaar blijft tot die oranje mafkees van het toneel verdwijnt. Whatever it takes. Mark heeft al eerder bewezen de langste adem te hebben. Als dat het langetermijndoel is, dan doet hij dat eigenlijk geniaal. Zodra de democraten weer aan de macht komen kan ook Mark Rutte weer terugkeren in de rol die hij eigenlijk ambieert.

Yes. My father said Orban will declare victory no matter outcome. Trump will recognize Orban as official leader. As will Putin. Then violence will start. Orban will disconnect internet and arrest, execute anyone protesting. Unless Hungarians have Maidan, they will fall to Orban. There have to be majority of people in streets. Too many to arrest. This is final choice for Hungarians. If majority do not get up and depose this russian n@zi regime, it’s because not enough Hungarians care or are willing to fight for their future. If they fail, Hungary will never recover. They either get up or they will have Soviet future.

They taught their children that World War II was a war between good and evil. And America won. So in the deepest layer of the American psyche, there is this foundational equation: America = the side that wins the wars against evil. Every subsequent war got loaded into that equation. Korea. Vietnam. Gulf War. Iraq. Afghanistan. Each one was presented, at the beginning, with the same moral architecture. The same clarity of purpose. The same enemy who needed to be stopped. And when the wars turned out to be complicated, when the reasons turned out to be false, when the conduct turned out to be criminal, when the outcomes turned out to be catastrophic, the equation couldn't be revised. Because the equation is not really about the wars. The equation is about the identity. You cannot tell Americans that Vietnam was a war crime without implying that America is capable of war crimes, which implies that America is not automatically the good side, which collapses the foundational equation, which leaves an entire civilization's self-understanding without a floor. This is not a political disagreement. This is an existential threat to a constructed self. And people defend their constructed selves with the same ferocity they defend their lives. Sometimes more.

“Vegans are so extreme” 80 billion lands animals + 2.8 trillion fish are killed each year for human consumption. Tell me how THAT isn’t extreme. Make it make sense. 💔🤔

Wordt het niet eens tijd dat Europa zich krachtig uitspreekt tegen de dreigementen van onze Amerikaanse vrienden en een leidende rol neemt om andere werelddelen mee te krijgen? Dan maar geen handelsakkoorden.

Trump an hour ago: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want it to happen but it probably will.” JD Vance right now: "Iran has to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. Trump can decide to use them, and he will if the Iranians don't change course." The President and the Vice President are both threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran. This is the most dangerous moment in human history and it is all being caused by the United States and Israel.

How is a person supposed to tell if they are having a psychotic break or not these days? Everyone else can see the big rabbit listening to Trump talk about bombing Iran, right?

The US has brutally castrated and exploited Europe for decades. By methodically dismantling the very foundations of its global reach, beginning with the calculated destruction of its colonial empires. In the aftermath of World War II, Washington didn't just champion self-determination out of democratic fervor; it weaponized the rhetoric of decolonization to bankrupt the old masters and vacuum up their former markets. The Suez Crisis served as the definitive humiliation, a clear signal that London and Paris could no longer act without a hall pass from the Oval Office. By forcing the retreat of the British and French, the US didn't just "liberate" the Global South; it effectively evicted its own allies from the world stage, ensuring that any future global order would be a unipolar one managed from D.C., with Europe relegated to the role of a regional deputy. This systematic weakening extended to the active support of European rivals whenever it suited American strategic leverage. By selectively empowering factions or regimes that undercut European influence—often under the guise of "stability" or "anticommunism"—the US ensured that Europe remained preoccupied with its own peripheries and internal fractures. This Machiavellian approach prevented the emergence of a truly unified European power that could challenge American hegemony. Instead of a peer, the continent became a geopolitical buffer zone, forever reacting to crises—often exacerbated by American foreign policy—rather than acting as a proactive agent of its own destiny. On the economic front, the castration took the form of sophisticated exploitation disguised as technological progress. Silicon Valley titans have colonized the European digital landscape, harvesting data and dominating markets while utilizing complex tax structures to siphon billions in profits away from the very public coffers that sustain European infrastructure. This represents a modern form of tribute, where European consumers fund American innovation that is then used to further disrupt European social and economic models. It is a one-way street of value extraction where the rules of the game are written in Delaware and enforced by the threat of trade sanctions, leaving European regulators to play a perpetual game of catch-up against entities wealthier than many of the nations they inhabit. Nowhere is this subservience more visible than in the forced dependency on American military hardware. Through the rigid frameworks of NATO, European nations are effectively coerced into "interoperability" that prioritizes the American defense-industrial complex over their own domestic industries. The procurement of the F-35 serves as the ultimate symbol of this dynamic: an expensive, proprietary ecosystem that binds European air forces to American software updates and logistical chains for half a century. By ensuring that European defense budgets are funneled into American pockets, the US has successfully lobotomized the continent’s ability to produce its own high-end military technology. Europe is left with the bill for a defense it cannot truly control, trapped in a cycle of purchasing American security to protect itself from threats that are, in many cases, the byproducts of American geopolitical maneuvers. Now they act surprised that Europe can't and doesn't want to help them.

One very important thing Americans don't realize is that they're not the richest country in the world because they work hard and come up with genius ideas. It's because they're the world's leading empire with the dominance of the dollar in the global financial system. Take that out of the equation and America is just one more regional power with a bloated military it can't sustain and bankrupt with debt.

@x_sitcom @KateWilton1 I envy the amount of good night sleep you must have, believing American wars are fought for decent moral reasons.

@KateWilton1 How did you sleep at night knowing that the Iranian Regime was killing 10s of thousands of innocent people a day. Sit down

I cannot understand how the decent majority in the US (if they exist, who knows anymore) aren’t on the streets. How can they sleep at night knowing they unleashed this lunatic on the world?

@hollyf72l @Onair58 Extreemrechts heeft moeite met naastenliefde.

Het is moeilijk om te gaan met het feit dat zoveel Nederlanders het totaal geschifte en beschavingondermijnende beleid van de regeringen in de Verenigde Staten en Israël zo gedwee volgen en verwachten dat wij ze nog serieus nemen.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

How do we arm Europe quickly and build up a massive European defence Industry so we can be safe from Russia? The answer is: We cant. Not quickly. Sputhern Europe is still sleeping but Northern and Baltic Europe is wide awake and armring like hell. Several countries are now spending significantly more of GDP on defence than the USA. Finland is already strong and Poland is very close to being ready. The rest are on their way. But we need more time. Five-ten years from now, we will not need to fear Russia. They will be outmatched. But right now, Russia is a real danger. So what do we do? There are only two options: 1) Try to keep the USA as an ally for as long as possible until we are ready. That means keep stroking Trump’s ego and humiliate ourselves Marc Rutte style. Accept extortion, insults, threats and concessions while calling Trump “Daddy” and giving him made up peace prizes. The problem is: Even that is not going to work. Regardless of what we do, Trump and his gang will want new humiliations every week. Giving in to a ridiculously unfair trade deal did not make the USA friendlier to Europe. Doubling defence spending has not made them less hostile to Europe either. Nothing will. They hate Europe, support Russia and cant be won over. They will not be there for us, and Russia knows it. That leaves only one option: 2) Support Ukraine like our lives depend on it because they do. As long as Ukraine stand between Europe and Russia, we are safe. Russia can not even take Donbas from Ukraine and would be in way over their heads if they also had to fight the Nordic countries, Poland, Germany, France, Britain and Canada in Eastern Europe. We must demand that EVERYBODY in Europe contribute. No more free-riding from Italy, Spain and France. Not a eurocent in subsidies from the EU to traitors like Hungary and Slovakia before they also join. It is real. This is not a drill. It is time to step up. We can easily do it and I am confident, that we will. Glory to Ukraine and glory to Europe.

Ze negeren ziekte volledig. Het hele systeem dat ze hebben bedacht, is hard, onmenselijk en bijna satanisch voor zieke werknemers, maar opvallend zacht en vriendelijk voor ondernemers. Bijna elke wet die in Nederland wordt gemaakt, lijkt niet in het voordeel van de burger te zijn. Alles draait om werken, werken, werken, terwijl de kwaliteit van leven volledig wordt genegeerd. Dat is niet oké.
