  4. Say what you will about Verhofstadt he’s right, we need to do more against Russia. And it would be nice if people in this sub would finnaly get their sticks out of their asses when it comes to anything Verhofdstadt.

    Yes I know he fucked up Belgium, yes I don’t like him either. But when he does do something good can we mention and talk about it? People in this sub are so cynical all of the time and i’m so tired of it. I feel like we should have “theraphy tuesday” or something for you guys.

  5. Better late than never I guess.

    Verhofstadt in ’19: EU membership for Ukraine and sanctions are not the way forward. We need a positive message for Russia, Ukraine can become some sort of affiliated state.

  7. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And he is correct. The only way to stop Putin, is by not buying billions of gas per week. Fuck the diamond industry if they disagree. We can not stand idle and pretend we didn’t see the next genocide coming…

  8. .. verhofstadt.. never ever ever ever did anything … nor for Belgium? Certainly not for Europe… ( Europe did a lot for home as his toscane villa is paid by Be en eu..

  9. Im belgian. I can’t add Nything more to the equation that.. vergofstadt is-/was/will be fore ever.. the most useless petition you can find… you can’t mop the floor with gas face without leaving stains…

  10. Our politicians are scared of 2 things :
    1. not being reelected if the economy goed to shit
    2. not getting high paying jb in private companies when their careers are over…

    It will suck to cut the gas but it will suck even more to have 40 million ukrainian refugees to take care of…
    The EU looks like the galactic senate in star wars : ineffective, slow and filled with corporate lobbyists.

  12. whats that thing about germany? is he talking about them sponsering a big part of the eu for ww2? i’m not getting wha the means.

  14. Fuck this guy x 1 million. He fucked Belgium so many times, sold our companies like Electrabel to other countries for pennies on the euro, sold goverment buildings just to rent them back at ridiculous prices. Just look up sale and lease back as one example.

    HE was on the Maidan square on 2014 cheering on the ukrainian nationalists, giving them hope that they would one day join the EU, which basically led to this whole shit show we are in today. Don’t be fooled. This guy is the problem not the solution. People like him are the reason people start to dislike the EU politics

  16. Goddamn that’s a speech, now do one for erdogan, aliyev and other leaders starting wars(🇺🇸)

  17. This is going to be one of those history lessons of which people in a 100 years are going to say “how the fuck did they not see this happening?!”

    Russia just does whatever the fuck they want (or tries to at least), and all we can come up with is some handheld weapons for Ukraine, stopping minor trade, and sending Russia a strongly worded letter? Because what, Russia threatens us with nuclear weapons? So when the conflict in Ukraine ends (in whatever way), we’re just going to pretend nothing happened, resume trade, and act all surprised when Russia does the same thing in a couple of years because they’ve seen that we’re not going to really punish them?

    We need to stop everything coming from Russia. I would much rather be paying hugely expensive energy bills, than ending up with whatever Putin’s end game is. Not all that long ago, many people in Europe had to fight for their lives in wars. If in my lifetime, all I have to do is pay through the nose for my electricity for a decade or so, and give up on some luxury, that seems like a fair deal.

    We live in the best region on Earth, we’ve already won the lottery of life just by being born in (Western) Europe. It’s shameful we can’t be arsed to even fight for it metaphorically.

  18. It’s also my feeling that you can’t sanction a nation that has suffering in it’s DNA. Take away our beer and we surrender within the week. Take half of an Russian its belongings? No problem there mate.

  23. Verhofstadt might not have been our best Prime Minister, but he sure would make a great federal EU president.

  24. What else should we expect from a country where former chancellors become CEOs of Gazprom ???

    Has Merkel been offered a job yet?
