The level of Orwellian confusion in Europe over Israel’s attack on Iran is staggering. It’s so sad to see the total inability of European leaders to think with their own heads (rather than act as derivatives of the US) in the Middle East

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

The rules are simple and yet people seem to find thelm impossible to learn. No cooperation with the far-right. No votes with them. No coalition. No adoption of their narrative. Their ideas must be defeated, not validated. If you see them cheering, you've done the wrong thing.

Across Europe people under rule of Pro-Russian vassal regimes are standing up against this ruling class. Bratislava, Tbilisi and to a certain extent even Belgrade show some impressive movements in the streets. It shows that despite the rise of authoritarianism, people are not staying silent.
