EU prime ministers and presidents are about to arrive at the emergency 🇪🇺 #EUCO summit on transatlantic relations.
Europe's three camps - the hawks, appeasers and collaborators - are each trying to claim victory for Trump's retreat. Only one camp is right.

Meloni was wrong, Macron was right
The Italian prime minister is trying to claim victory for Trump's retreat. But it was Europe showing its teeth through retaliation threats and troop deployment that spooked the US government.

The past days have made it clear: the only way Europe can avoid becoming subjugated vassal states to America, Russia & China is to unite in federation.
That our leaders have spent the past 2 decades blocking efforts to do so will be remembered as a tragedy.

All Europeans are collectively responsible for the humiliation they are now enduring.
VDL may have signed the surrender, but she is the leader that complacent and self-deluding Europeans chose.
If Europeans ever choose to wake up, it is now likely too late.

This week's humiliating visits by European leaders to Washington were capped off by a horror show in the oval office which exposed those celebrated visits as folly.
My take on a horrible week:
My take on a horrible week:
This week we learned how badly Europeans want to be fooled
UK media were easily bought off with cheap flattery on Thursday, heralding Starmer's Trump visit as a grand success. Continental reactions to Macron's Monday visit were similar. Then came Friday.
