A pro-Europe post on Twitter being reposted to Reddit, another American website. If Europe wants true independence, it should start by leaving these American websites.
Also, why should “protecting the European Union or the living standards of Europeans” be on the priority list of an **American** government? Is that not the responsibility of the EU or the various national governments? Ridiculous entitlement.
Europe should defend Europe.
If I could vote Guy I would, one of my favourite EU politicians who always seems to tell things like they are
Ironically I think we need to distance ourselves from the US (as a union not individual countries) to stand firm against South African Nazis and other fascists. Europe strong together is a wake up call for any fascist anywhere.
If the US becomes hostile to Europe we should strike a huge deal with China:
– No European military intervention in Asian affairs leaving the US isolated
– Unfettered access for EU companies in China
– EU drops some of its legitimate concerns on human rights and climate in China
– No China military intervention in Europe of any kind (support, money, nothing) , that means an explicit shunning of Russia and removal of any support of Russia in Ukraine.
– No interdiction for Chinese companies to participate in European projects provided that EU privacy laws are upheld.
This is a multi-trillion deal annually for both sides and it can happen if the US keeps fucking around.
This sounds decidedly sad and weak.
Some of us did say that this would happen and that we needed to stand on our own feet. Our relationship with the US was never an equal one. The US dictated the dance, and we followed because “they protected us.”
Europe should protect Europe. Period!
He has some good points, but I don’t accept using this to push for increased federalism in Europe. In fact, EU should be less like the United States and not more like it, right now.
Absolutely hysterical that now trump is in America loves oligarchy and billionaires run US policy. What do you call Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, & most importantly for the democrats Soros. Were they not billionaires with massive sway the past 4 years in US politics?
lmao the Elon post go removed but enough of that, this tweet is absolutely correct
The irony of posting this on xhitter.
At least make a Bluesky account
He’s still on X. He has no credibility with me.
Protecting Europe by flooding it with millions of people that despise our way of living and values
well said but is he posting on twitter? maybe switch platforms idk…
The biggest threat to the Union right now is not the US, but all the Eurosceptic political forces being ascendant all across Europe. If we fast forward in 2029, it would not be so outlandish to imagine having Le Pen as president, Farage or Badenoch as Prime Minister, Wilders as PM, and Vlaams Belang becoming the number 1 force in Flanders.
“Who will defend Europe?” uhhh idk, Europe?

Wtf is he talking about, the highest election spenders in USA have been winning presidential, house and senate elections for the last ~30 years with very few exceptions. Nothing changed.
After today any American that tells me how “we saved you from the Nazis” whilst a fucking billionaire does that salute on Capitol Hill can Get Tae Fuck.
The eu is too busy with working on proper cucumber radius and lightbulb laws, there’s no room for things like defence and security. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve signed up for a party last week
He’s pretending like European policy wasn’t being run by billionaires too.
How are things like allowing non-EU people/companies buying up European housing, a positive for us? It has created a continental housing crisis? Money in rent is constantly leaving the union to enhance their standard of living. It’s also a prerequisite to EU membership btw. That’s how highly they value it.
How was allowing millions of male illegal migrants from shitholes into Europe going enhance our lives and our communities? All caused by America and their partner Saudi Arabia destabilizing everywhere around us.
How is sending billions of aid to countries that hate us and end up aligning with Russia/China, how is that enhancing our lives?
How was allowing Germany to become reliant on Russian gas after a shady deal by Schroeder, how was that enhancing our lives? Why wasn’t Schroeder whacked when he defected to Russia? If a former UK PM or American President defected to Russia, with all of the internal knowledge they had, they wouldn’t have lasted the weekend. All we got was “nothing to see here”.
How is allowing Irelands economy being entirely built upon US multinationals a benefit for us?
People like Verhofstadt caused our mess and made us weak.
America, Russia, China, Saudi, India are not our friends. They operate for their own gain and had both sides simp after them.
It’s time for a new side. People who operate for Europe and Europe only. Not for the interests of outside nations.
This is very sad what is happening in US. But the jurney to this current situation began long time ago.
Bit strong coming from the guy who sold Belgian public property to billionaires and investment groups.
>Who will defend Europe? We are completely unprepared for this feral new world.
And whose fault is that??? 🤡🤡🤡
You mfs had 4 years to sort this shit out, and nothing came out of it.
And the hits keep coming : Elon Musk is now attacking the UN. Ffs
It would be so much easier if we where one country, or at the very least a federation. not a union any dumb fucking inbred country can leave on a whim. I mean we already have laws, a currency and free travel. Why not make it on nation with a bunch of provinces for each current member country?
Absolutely correct. Trump threatened Panama with invasion today in his INAUGURAL ADDRESS. There are no more excuses, as he is now president. What is Europe going to do when he threatens Denmark? NATO will be completely paralyzed.
It’s funny how those who say we need to “defend Europe” in these moments are the same advocating for mass migration.
We need a real United States of Europe. All the nationaliste right wing supporters are traitors who want ti sell us to billionaires and dictators.
We need the USE
His dream of an innocent Europe working for the benefit of mankind died when Scholz & van der Leyen ran around supporting and arming a genocidal Israeli state.
Time for a European Federation.
I hear bells ringing and toiling, time to build the ship to weather the coming storm.
Democracy and rule of law need to be defended. Actively. But European leaders still do nothing, for example allowing Orban to stay in power.
If the EU wants any chance to survive: fucking help Ukraine so Russia is a far less threat for the coming years and prepare for the worst with the USA because under Trump they will start wars, even with the EU. The time of peace sadly is gone.
The 3rd line grinds my gears:
“And guess what? Protecting the European Union or the living standards of Europeans is not on their priority list!”
And why would an external party to the EU be responsible for those things? The USA is supposed to be an ally of the EU, not an overlord.
As a collective the EU has like 500 million people, it is one of the wealthier zones in this planet and has it’s own political, military, economical, scientifical and cultural clout.
If we’re not at the same level as the USA it’s our own fault. It seems not even a Draghi report is enough to wake us up.
