Wars can be fought and lost in a matter of days, but one EU country required 45-days just to let military equipment cross its border

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Joint Statement on a United States-European Union framework on an agreement on reciprocal, fair and balanced trade

😵 This is indeed bad... How can any EU negotiator or official be comfortable with such a clear statement after all the ongoing work on the White Paper and related initiatives? There is no future for the EDTIB with the US on board, and arms trade should not be used as leverage in EU trade deals...
Let’s see what “substantially increases” means in practice… it could be restricted to Ukraine purchases. Not a good look for a Union supposedly seeking to build its own defence industry… smells of the trade negotiators getting their hands on defence policy. Never good!

Xenia Fedorova toujours en pleine page du JDD, en s'inquiétant de la prétendue "militarisation" de l'Allemagne.
Évidemment, elle ne tiendra pas le même discours pour la Russie, qui elle se militarise *réellement* et embrigade sa population, particulièrement les jeunes.

Yes, it is a real problem.
More broadly, US and UK influence on defence matters are significant in Brussels, leading many to think that nothing big can be achieved without them. Coverage (media but also researchers) of the UK-EU agreement clearly shows it, making it the key of European security 🤔.
BTW, it's a continued problem that almost every publication on this list is British or American.

European media have such little influence in Brussels that they don't even make it on the list at all.
