If it waves like a Nazi, if it kills baby's like a Nazi, if it is trying to dismantle democracy like a Nazi.
Then you probably need to seize his wealth and send him back to Afrika.
So America helped Russia murder Ukrainians, including baby Anhelina in a stroller, and after CBS reported it the page is down? I am enraged that America is helping Russia in its genocide
EUROPE HAS BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY WEAKENED, AND NOW BRUSSELS IS FINALLY WAKING UP.
After 20 years of declining oil-refining capacity, the European Commission suddenly sounds the alarm.
EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen declares: “This crisis is a wake-up call.”
A wake-up call? Europe has spent two decades making itself increasingly vulnerable, and only now are its leaders beginning to recognize the consequences.
For years, ideological environmental activism, misguided energy policies, and political short-sightedness have helped undermine Europe’s energy security and industrial competitiveness.
And who benefited from a Europe that became increasingly dependent on imported energy?
Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
Russia has exploited political divisions on both sides of the European political spectrum.
On the far right:
Financial links and political relationships involving Marine Le Pen’s National Front in France.
Russian influence operations targeting figures associated with Germany’s AfD.
Close political relationships with Austria’s FPÖ and Italy’s Lega.
Support for nationalist movements hostile to European integration.
Propaganda designed to weaken NATO, undermine EU unity, and reduce support for Ukraine.
Disinformation campaigns exploiting immigration, nationalism, and distrust of democratic institutions.
On the environmental and political left, Russia pursued a different opportunity:
Amplifying opposition to European shale gas and fracking.
Encouraging narratives that made domestic fossil-fuel production politically unacceptable.
Exploiting anti-nuclear sentiment that contributed to the closure of reliable electricity generation.
Benefiting from campaigns against domestic energy infrastructure.
Taking advantage of political resistance to long-term investments in European energy independence.
Exploiting the contradiction between Europe’s ambitious environmental promises and its growing reliance on imported energy.
Not every environmental campaign was Russian-funded or Russian-directed. But Moscow certainly had every reason to encourage policies that made Europe more dependent on Russian gas.
The result was a strategic disaster.
Europe weakened parts of its own energy infrastructure while purchasing enormous quantities of energy from an authoritarian regime.
We closed nuclear plants, lost refining capacity, restricted domestic production, and allowed ideological purity to take priority over energy security.
Meanwhile, Russia collected energy revenues, strengthened its geopolitical leverage, and continued undermining the democratic institutions Europe was supposed to defend.
Protecting the environment is important. But environmental protection without economic realism, industrial security, or geopolitical awareness becomes a dangerous weakness.
The greatest irony is that movements claiming to protect Europe’s future helped create vulnerabilities that Russia could exploit.
Europe’s fundamental values include democracy, freedom, sovereignty, scientific progress, and the ability to determine our own future.
Those values mean very little if we become economically and strategically dependent on authoritarian regimes.
Putin did not need to defeat Europe militarily to weaken it. He could exploit our political divisions, our ideological extremes, and our own disastrous policy decisions.
And now, after two decades, Brussels calls it a wake-up call.
The real question is why it took so long.
Sur les 5 800 prisonniers détenus en Russie pour motifs politiques, condamnés à des peines allant jusqu'à 28 ans de prison, des centaines sont dans des conditions de santé déplorables et leurs vies sont en danger.
Parmi eux, Maria Ponomarenko journaliste condamnée pour avoir dénoncé les bombardements russes sur le théâtre de Marioupol et enfermée depuis janvier 2023.
En détention, elle a fait plusieurs tentatives de suicide et son état psychique est critique. Ses deux enfants mineurs attendent leur mère.
Je suis honorée de l'avoir parrainée dans le cadre du programme de soutien aux prisonniers politiques russes. Nous devons faire tout notre possible pour qu'elle ne soit pas oubliée et qu'un jour elle puisse retrouver la liberté, ses enfants et son foyer.
Liberté pour Maria Ponomarenko !
🚨 BREAKING: A Brazilian Supreme Court Justice has ORDERED AN INVESTIGATION into JD VANCE’S BILLIONAIRE DONOR NETWORK!
According to The Washington Post, Brazilian federal police will investigate whether the Rockbridge Network, co-founded by Vice President JD Vance, provided illegal foreign assistance to the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro.
And look who’s connected to this network: billionaire Peter Thiel, Trump megadonor Rebekah Mercer, venture capitalist Blake Masters, and investor Omeed Malik have all been identified as backers or members by Reuters.
Investigators are examining whether money, personnel, or other resources were used to influence Brazil’s election. Rockbridge denies involvement, claiming individuals falsely represented themselves as its agents.
Meanwhile, Bolsonaro LOST the election to President Lula and has reportedly FLED to the United States, where the Trump administration plans to grant him a visa.
His father, Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro, is serving more than 27 years in prison for his role in an attempted coup.
Now Brazil wants answers about whether an American billionaire-backed political network led by JD Vance and his buddies had a hand in its election.
Ask not "why would Donald lift sanctions on Russia sovereign wealth fund".
Instead ask "how big is the bribe Donald is getting for lifting the sanctions"
All I'm saying is that if you had a tribe of say 100 people and 5 of those people hoarded 95% of all the resources while half the tribe starved the rest of the tribe would eventually nationalize SpaceX
The Russian-American plan to worsen the humanitarian catastrophe at Oleshky is unfolding.
Residents who wish freedom in Ukraine will first be transported to a filtration camp (concentration camp) in the Russian city of Anapa. From there they might be able to go to Belarus. From there they might be able to go to Ukraine.
In a world not filled with Russian-American evil, residents could be taken directly across the Dnipro River to Kherson. But that won't happen.
ICE and Border Patrol protect Flávio Bolsonaro, using umbrellas to shield him from being photographed.
Trump’s government beats and shoots ordinary working-class people but gives special protection to international criminals tied to money laundering and human trafficking.
There are people who consider Elon Musk a great man. This great man already spend about 450 biljon dollars to buy your Midterms election. As this is possible do you still think: "One man, one vote'"? Really?
@LeanManProf Dat merken veel bedrijven op dit moment ook en waar mogelijk is men actief aan het werven in het buitenland.
Ondertussen heeft de VVD de wet ter bescherming van arbeidsmigranten op het laatste moment ingetrokken.
Goed en wel beschouwd is de VVD echt problematisch voor Nederland.
@RPJ_Hendriks Hij behoort meer tot de niet werkende klasse die parasiteert op de werkende klasse net als de haatpruik naast hem.
Churchill had ze bij leven minachtend de oren gewassen.
@LeanManProf Het besef begint langzaam in te dalen dat we mensen tekort komen en die tekorten gaan alleen maar oplopen als we niets doen.
De VVD doet altijd het goede nadat ze eerst alle andere mogelijkheden geprobeerd hebben.
De luchtverdediging rond Poetins paleizencomplex in Valdai, noord van Moskou, is sterk geïntensiveerd. Snapt u meteen waarom Oekraïne elders bijna straffeloos kan toeslaan.
