Uncomfortable with a hostile world and our dependence on hostile interests? Me too. But while we're waiting for major strategic turnarounds, we as consumers can help European strategic autonomy in small ways by choosing local solutions such as these.
Always choose European, every little bit helps.

They're currently running a 'Call for Evidence' until December 4th. So, if you could spare some time, your arguments can help forward the development of clean energy in Europe 🇪🇺

Legalizing Cocaine Is the Only Way to End the Drug War
The war on drugs has failed, and Trump's deadly boat strikes are only doubling down on decades of failed policy.

Macron calls for Europeans to have a seat at the table in Ukraine negotiations
French President Emmanuel Macron and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky launched a flurry of diplomatic activity during hours-long talks at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Monday. Macron said he hoped that ongoing talks around ending the war in Ukraine could be a "turning point" for both the Ukrainians and Europe's own security situation.

Jeg er veldig enig i dette resonnementet, og jeg respekterer MDG for å stå på sitt - heia heia. Men jeg kommer ikke helt over ironien i hvor kontant mange avfeie nøyaktig dette argumentet når Venstrefolk (som meg) sa det samme for bare noen mnd siden. Neste gang snakker vi om et partis politikk, ok?
Greia var at meningsmålingene viste at MDG over sperra var helt nødvendig for å hindre Listhaug som statsminister, og ikke en lovnad om at MDG ubetinget må godta ethvert forslag til statsbudsjett bare siden de hadde pekt på Støre.

Pussig. Love en ting til EU, men kan ikke gi MDG gjennomslag for det samme?
Regjeringen kan ha lovet EU det de nekter å gi MDG
Ap avslo å gi MDG noen form for nedtrappingsplan for olje og gass. Men i en uttalelse sammen med EU har regjeringen gått langt i å forplikte seg til å redusere fossilt brensel.

But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion.
He said it was a “hoax”.
He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference.

Kan ende opp med at det er dette som blir den siste lærdommen: at det slettest ikke var et vinnerflertall på venstresiden i første omgang, til tross for at alle involverte trodde det. Spørs hvor mye gehør på høyresiden Sp vil klare å få også. Hvor lenge til stortinget begynner å se nytt på blokkene?
Nei, det har jeg forsåvidt vært skeptisk til. SP har ikke egentlig noe i den rød-grønne fløyen å gjøre (selv om du skulle tro klima var viktig for bondepartiet 🤷♀️).

Helt uavhengig av hvorvidt man synes det er MDG som feller denne regjeringen eller ei (dersom det skjer), så er det på Aps vakt at det vil skje, og de er til syvende og sist det sentrale partiet med en statsminister som ikke forutså eller planla for et slikt resultat ila valgkampen. Ustrategisk.

I'm mostly surprised that anyone is still surprised by the glaringly obvious. Europe certainly needs to speed up efforts to defend itself. Firstly by getting it's leaders to stop their opposition to unification and petty small nation perspectives. They will turn on us.

Dette er jeg enig i. Jeg tror det både er respekt å hente hos folk for partier som setter tydelige grenser, samt at dersom man faller utenom og stiller seg direkte i opposisjon, så kan man komme tilbake enda sterkere neste gang. MDG ser ut til å følge min anbefalte strategi for Venstre. Bra for dem.
Tror - tross deres garantier før valget - at det er fornuftig av mdg å trekke en grense. Det handler om partiets eksistensberettigelse, om de er for pragmatiske der, er det ikke noe igjen.

Honestly, the attacks on Belgium in this seems like it only serves a narrative fit to split us and sow disunity when the pressure should be levied on those who refuse to join ranks and form a unified shield wall rather than sending one man out alone. Use *everyone's* seized assets.
This is the thing, their demands of solidarity are reasonable. I don't understand why the other countries refuse to do the same as a show of force. This is on everyone else moreso than Belgium. They're not trying to stop it, they're trying to make it an unassailable position.
