An account espousing the benefits of, and need for, a federal Europe. Слава Україні!
It seems America is intent on a second trade war with the EU. Reliable trading partners are the backbone of global trade and economies. Europe will endure and when the dust has settled we must seek out more reliable partners.

With a ceasefire in place in Gaza let's all hope it proves more durable than previous attempts. The people of Palestine deserve peace.

Trump has proven it: Europe must unite.

For safety. For peace. For our survival.

Tough choices are going to need to be made soon about the future alliances of our bloc. Whatever choice is made, it must be made in unison.

In light of recent events and threats against Europe, Canada and Mexico by the incoming Trump administration, it's clear the Americans may act shockingly similar to the Russians in the east. We may find ourselves alone and surrounded. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

As we now transition to a Polish EU presidency, hopefully aid to Ukraine can finally reach the level it needs to actually end the war. Cautiously optimistic.

Happy new Year's! 2024 was a tough year for Europe but also a year in which we accomplished great things, there are tough times ahead but we can get through them stronger and more unified than ever!

Interference by Americans is no less insidious than by Russians. European politics has become unfortunately tainted by Americans ideas and influences.

Russia is rapidly approaching being severely supply constrained. "Infinite" Soviet stockpiles just can't keep up with the magnitude of Russian lunacy that we have been seeing. We have to keep the boot on their neck now more than ever.

As boring as it is, standardisation can do wonders for innovation. Hopefully this is the case.
It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

Incredibly disappointing to see such complicity from an EU state. Traitors within the block are more dangerous than Russia itself.
What do you think? 🇺🇦🇸🇰👀

Russia and their cronies continue with terrorist attacks against Europe, the only way this stops is if they feel it is too risky for them.

Merry Christmas to everyone in Europe and beyond! Hopefully this is a time to celebrate our achievements as a continent and spend times with those we hold dear.

These people do not understand diplomacy. They only understand violence and the threat of violence.
Attention, Estonia!

Russian propagandist Keosayan:

"What are they going to protect? Their 10 Estonian acres? I have two options for what happens after 2028. Either Estonia will be safe within the Russian Federation, or Estonia will no longer exist."

The requirement for unanimity leads to being held hostage by these tinpot tyrants. A better system is needed.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is weakening Europe by helping Russia's leader Vladimir Putin finance its war against Ukraine.

Kaja Kallas is right her. Russia isn't just not invincible, they're vulnerable. Strike while the iron is hot.

Rogue states like Belarus can't keep going unpunished, a unified and credible military deterrent is the only language these tyrants understand.
The European Union’s External Action Service, the bloc’s diplomatic corps, has called for the release of Mikalai Khilo, a local member of staff with the EU delegation to Belarus who faces up to 12 years in jail.

Renew MEP says Belarus is testing the bloc’s “position and response,” and that Brussels must “send a clear message” to Minsk.

It's all rhetorical until it isn't.
Donald Trump’s trolling again … or is he?
Early today the United States president-elect suggested turning Canada into a part of the U.S., calling it “a great idea.”

Any ceasefire should only come about at Ukraine's request, and after they have achieved the strongest possible negotiating position. This is easily achievable if European states could step up to the challenge. It is in our moral and strategic interest to help Ukraine win.
French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to raise the possibility of deploying European soldiers to Ukraine at the upcoming EU summit on Dec. 18-19, if a ceasefire deal is eventually reached between Russia and Ukraine, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported on Dec. 13, citing EU diplomats.
