Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

Trump and his family are in business with Russia and the Gulf Arab states to loot and plunder, and destroy the West and our democracies along the way.

It's Bond Villain level stuff, and we should be fighting it with everything we got.

This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe

And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs

100 years from now historians will look back and balk, like “how the fuck did Russia stealth-take-over the United States?!

How did nobody look out for the disinfo? The bribes? The obviously compromised assets in both Britain and America?!”

They won’t believe the total lack of interest & pushback.

“It is now beyond doubt, however; that this assisted by the White House in its efforts to destroy Ukraine and that the United States has declared war on Europe under its appalling president”… and who does the US support in Europe? The AFD in Germany and Reform UK here.
Such grim betrayal.

(iPaper)
Extract: "It is more than plausible that, within a few decades at the latest, certain Nato members will become majority non-European," states this risible document, alleging our "economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilisational erasure". It talks about wanting "Europe to remain European" and "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations", implying support for hard-right populist forces such as the AfD in Germany and Reform UK in Britain. And while Russia is no longer designated a direct threat, the only entity in the world seen as threatening free speech is the European Union. No surprise that this paper embracing hard-right nationalists and promoting "strategie stability" with Russia was welcomed by the Kremlin as "largely consistent" with its vision. It confirms that Trump, like Putin, is ideologically opposed to our continent, culture and values. So will Europe's leaders - so slow in the past to react to Russian aggression - realise the transatlantic alliance is history? Will British politicians stop the bullshit about a special relationship with Washington? Will power brokers at this challenging time understand that flattery, gifts and glittering state visits do not work? Or will they carry on prostrating themselves before a US President who despises our way of life and seeks to undermine democracies? European nations should try to help America "correct its current trajectory" - just as this dismal document declares its intention for us - amid that country's sinister slide into corruption, immorality and democratic subversion. But more fundamentally, our leaders must stop stroking Trump's absurdly inflated ego and seize the initiative to defend our continent. Europe - in alliance with soulmates such as Australia and Canada - has to show that it is prepared to fight for its future, take tough decisions and overcome national and tribal divisions in order to navigate these traumatic times.

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.
#NeverPM

www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
With his party riding high in the polls, toasting a game-changing £9m donation and welcoming its first Tory defector in the Lords, Nigel Farage seems to be sitting pretty. But creeping allegations of racist schoolboy behaviour — and his belligerent response to them — could harm his chances of winning over wavering voters, writes Josh Glancy (Cartoon of shocked? angry? frightened? people under the money bags holding placards saying ‘BIGOT’, ‘RACIST’ and ‘NAZI NIGEL’) Crick believes that there is a clear line to be drawn between Farage the sixth-former and Farage the politician. "So much of his character is the same as you can see at Dulwich," he says. "The boy who's desperate for attention, who loves debating, who loves division. The English nationalism, the interest - almost obsession - with immigration, the admiration for Enoch Powell, the free-market Thatcherism; all of that began at Dulwich." Much of the public has already made up its mind on Farage. In as much as this story cuts through to the wider elector-ate, some will think it deeply unfair to judge Farage on his adolescence; while others will see it as fair game and reflective of the man he later became. But there will be many who are still undecided on Farage and, for this last camp, his belligerent response to the allegations will be a test. He has the polling support. He has the Tory defections. He has the money now too. But does he have the ability to woo and keep voters who once found him unsavoury? Farage is unlikely to change tack now. "He's got to be true to him-self," says the senior Reform source. "There is precious little point in apologising to people like Ed Davey." Additional Reporting: Harry Yorke
