Now that she said it, finally, isn’t her position more or less just symbolic, so all those vows punishing israel’s extremists ministers are just empty words

Looks like sweden got the message, now lets hope the rest of eu will follow the swedish lead and start buying/developing domestic alternatives

Given that the EU is economically much larger than the UK, it really boggles the mind just how big a capitulation the ‘deal’ that von der leyen so expertly crafted actually is.

A few weeks ago it was reported that apple was interested in buying mistral ai, thank god that didn’t happen, yet. Here’s a link to the story: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/technology/apple-internally-discussed-buying-mistral-perplexity-the-information-reports/ar-AA1LgBNL

Don’t forget the Kremlin’s inside man—Trump—who’s doing all the work for them in terms off aligning india to russia/china

Lots of zionists around here lately, whats up with that

Its stupid, how petty they can be and are. At a time when we have to show unity, they are fighting over ownership of the project.

Seems like their ego got the better of them.

I think some people don’t really understand the gravity of the situation—that it’s not china or russia who want to occupy greenland, but our supposed ally, the usa.

Whats could go wrong, with potentially buying weapons from your enemy

Dont forget that republika srpska also manufacturers its own armoured vehicles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despot_(vehicle)

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/davos-nato-chief-rutte-reaffirms-need-step-up-support-ukraine-2025-01-23/ (rutte saying eu countries should buy more usa weapons) https://www.npr.org/2025/08/05/g-s1-81084/europe-us-weapons-ukraine-russia-war (eu countries buying weapons from usa, instead of investing into their domestic defence industry, because rutte gave trump the idea that he can sell eu countries weapons needed for ukraine)

It’s unfortunate that the eu remains a playground for major powers, so playing both sides against each other may indeed be the only viable strategy.

Its ironic that he was there for the opening ceremony, given his past actions trying to divert funds from eu’s defence industry into the defence industry of usa. (And no he’s not a nato secretary, he’s a usa puppet as are most of eu leaders, unfortunately)

If Im not mistaken majority of the countries will hit their target by the end of a decade, lets hope its not too late by then.

I have no problem with diversifying trade ties, as long as no party has too much control/monopoly over the market.

Why is mark rutte there, the same guy who wants eu to spend billions on usa defence industry instead of our own.

Eu has to cut it’s reliance on usa, but chasing closer ties with china is beyond stupid, has eu learned nothing.

I mean if theres a problem why not talk about it, why should we be quiet, just because its “off-topic.”
