Ironically, Peskov is essentially the press secretary for the don of a state-sized criminal mafia syndicate.

Kindness is not a sign of weakness; cruelty is not a sign of strength.

Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union is clear: the Union is founded on democracy, rule of law & human rights. Orbán’s illiberal Hungary violates these core principles - and cannot truly belong in the EU while doing so.

In the DSA, “illegal content” is nothing new — it’s simply a catch-all for what EU or national law already forbids. The Act doesn’t reinvent the rulebook; it just forces tech giants to finally play by it.

Big egos are like broken windows: they need to be fixed before they destroy the whole house.

A world order shaped by Russian national chauvinism: hybrid warfare replaces diplomacy, economic coercion supplants trade, and sovereignty yields to a doctrine of fear. States must appease or be destabilized - for defiance is met not with debate, but subversion.

Well, you cannot win hearts with fire. No regime endures, nor peace prevails, when civilians lie buried beneath rubble, their homes turned to ash, their lives to grief. Bombs sow fear, not freedom. Bombing for peace is like f**ing for virginity

I’m genuinely puzzled — how does a European law like the Digital Services Act end up dictating what Americans can say online? Did Brussels secretly rewrite the First Amendment overnight? 🤨🇪🇺➡️🇺🇸

The betrayal of European allies and Western values cuts deep. Over here, we’re gritting our teeth, watching in disbelief. I fear the damage is beyond repair. America as a beacon of hope, trust, and freedom - it feels like a closed chapter in the a history book.

Blaming oligarchs is too easy. Money doesn’t brainwash a nation on its own. The real issue is how willing people are to be exploited - how primed they are by resentment(s) and disillusionment. That’s what I think they’re tapping into?

Trump was elected twice. No one can claim ignorance about who he is. The real question is: why are so many Americans still eager to burn down their own democracy for him?

We, the Europeans, once looked to America as a moral compass. We embraced its ideals, its promise. But Trump shattered that bond. The soft power is spent, the beacon dimmed. What was once trusted leadership now feels like a closed chapter in history.

I find it perplexing - why would members of the diaspora living in Western Europe oppose the very institutions, like the EU, that underpin their economic stability and social mobility?

The Trump administration calling itself a watchdog of democracy is peak irony - like arsonists claiming to be fire marshals. You don’t defend democracy by gutting rights, purging oversight, and silencing dissent.
