The Americans were demanding that Copenhagen stop using DEI a few months ago. The American state wants to dictate policy in European cities... I am yet to see Von der Leyen send a letter to NY about how they should run their city.

You would still be wrong on so many levels. I'll chalk it down to ignorance.

Italy isn't disproportionately important to European culture? Which universe do you live in that didn't see Italians start the renaissance, lay the foundations of modern science, universities and civic governance?

We haven't had famines since WWII because the founders of the EU saw famine and food insecurity as the biggest threat towards peace and stability. While CAP has been bloated we should cherish the quality and variety of food we have. This is a bad take.

Unfortunately it was all done backwards because there was no political will at the time for a political union. Monnet created economic integration knowing that it would force political integration down the line.

For over 20 have followed US politics closely. I wish I could cordon off all US news and commentators. We don't have enough European platforms and too many Europeans are America pilled. In 20 years I have seen little European influence on the US but way too much US shit influence us.

I can see your point, but from the way you worded it, it seems like they need to be suspected already? We monitor suspected terrorists and have been since 911.

Impressive. Seems like sensible legislation that should help preventing another shooting.

What s weird and disrespectful comment towards one of Europe's pillars. Is this your usual way of speaking about Italy Kraut?

Berlusconi is dead and the parties have nothing to do with Italian military spending.
