Washington’s influence in Europe has shaped political life for nearly a century, and the Trump administration continues that legacy — though not always in familiar ways. While past US governments fram
When I hear of an organization like The Defense of Democracy or the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, it makes me want to vomit. ALL of these organizations have absolutely nothing to do with democracy. They have everything to do with capitalism and making sure the top 1% controls the world.
So the Trump regime, notorious for its support of the January 6th attack on US democratic process, and its open support of oppressive authoritarian leaders and even dictators, declares that Europe is not democratic enough. The Trump regime's extreme hypocrisy is gag inducing.
The orange baby loves the uneducated because he can tell them authouritarism is democracy and they believe it. Germany needs to ENFORCE those laws that disallow foreign money in politics. The AFD would collapse without putin's money.
Far right stupidity could destroy the EU and without the EU each of its members is done for.
Together we survive, divided we will all fall.
The far right needs to grow up and stop living in fantasy land.
The would be dictators and krypto cleptocrats like the ones from US now tell us about liberties and "freedom" ? Freedom for them to do everything with impunity. See their "freedom" attacks on international courts like ICC.
We all know, there are forces outside Europe, which want divided Europe, as they don't want have to listen, what we want. We all know Russia is doing it, we suspect China, and I would expect USA to do same, as united voice from Europe would hamper their "reign" in world. Europeans we need to talk for ourselves and make world listen to our voice. I do not want Europe to dictate others what to do, but being heard isn't dictate.
Yes Trump and his cronies is already interfering in Germany look at them sucking up to the AfD, im sure they will interfere everywhere whey can, these groups need to be monitored and as soon as they receive donations that are big enough you will simply burden them down with investigations small charges etc, remove their support network and shut them down, look as the Us right now, you wanna end like that ? But don't just listen to me there is a lot of comments here that have great ideas, closing us embassy's, closing us military bases, we dont need the enemy in our backyard.
Spot on, Sam T. It feels like we're just bracing for the real storm to hit.

Morning, June! Definitely a lot to chew on before caffeine kicks in, but it feels like we're just getting started with the chaos.

Good morning, everyone. Settling in with my tea and thinking about how complex these international ripples really are. The shift in how Washington influences European politics is quite a lot to process first thing. Do you feel these changes are hitting home, or does it feel far away?
