Europe and other US allies need to radically rethink their position on the US. The US behaves like an imperialist aggressor in the Western hemisphere and ICE has, it seems, begun murdering US citizens. We need to start treating the US government like Russia: start building a democratic alliance

Even though Maduro is an evil criminal who stole an election, and is probably guilty of the charges in the indictment, the operation to seize him brazenly violated domestic and international law.

Europe is healthier and happier than the USA. But just as importantly, it’s more inclusive, more progressive and above all more environmentally sustainable. Europeans need to stop looking at the US and start thinking and acting for ourselves
The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.
But it is wrong. It is a myth.
Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US.
Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

The EU’s share of global GDP has fallen. So has America’s. Both went from ~20% in 1995 to ~15% today, once cost-of-living differences are corrected. Read Gabriel Zucman's analysis ⤵️

As intense diplomacy to end Russia's war continues, our focus lasts on two priorities: increasing pressure on Moscow and strengthening support for Kyiv.
This means more sanctions, securing financial aid to Ukraine for 2026-27 and cracking down on oil-smuggling ships. (1/2)

Potential impact if Europe fail to support Ukraine. The lack of funding and feeling of betrayal might cause the Ukrainian armed forces to collapse. The results would be another 5 - 10M refugees flooding western Europe, a Russia that controls Ukrainian industry and a Russian advance far into the EU.

Europe must have its own tech-infrastructure. It's too dangerous to be dependent on U.S. companies. We need to replace Amazon servers, Google search, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT, Nvidia, What'sApp etc with European versions. Or we might just be destroyed from within by fascist propaganda.
