The EU condemns the U.S. travel restrictions against European citizens and officials.

Such measures are unacceptable between allies, partners, and friends.

The EU stands firm in its defense of freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and its regulatory sovereignty.

Alle maskers vallen af. De EU moet kapot, vindt Trump-trouwe Denktank. Waarom? Omdat de EU als enige nog een vuist maakt in de westerse wereld tegen de techgiganten en Amerikaanse monopoliehouders. Als dat geen schallend compliment voor de kracht van de EU is! nos.nl/l/2595747
Trump-denktank pleit openlijk voor einde Europese Unie
"Ik zie geen enkel toekomstscenario waarin Europa beter af is mét het voortbestaan van de Europese Unie dan zonder", zegt Nile Gardiner, Europadirecteur van de Heritage Foundation.

Trump is bevallen van een nieuwe veiligheidsstrategie: VS wil westelijk halfrond domineren met nieuwe Monroedoctrine (Venezuela!), de EU moet kapot door steun aan radicaal rechts. Maar VS wil wel gebruik maken van zijn soft power en wil samenwerken. Huh? Lezen!

Zelensky heeft gelijk. Oekraïne en alle andere landen in Europa afgezien van Belarus en Rusland delen hetzelfde belang: het weerstaan van Russische militaire interventies tegen soevereine landen. Nu en in de toekomst.

Putting pressure on a victim is illegal
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Left Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn't, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office. Putin would never have attacked! It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, "Now is my chance!" The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE "LEADERSHIP" HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA. THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE SAMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERY THING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING "BIG" MONEY!). GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT

The current US administration removed an exhibit in honour of black soldiers in #W0II from the #Margraten graveyard in the Netherlands. Dutch tv show #EvenTotHier replaced it on Dutch soil next to the memorial (which is US soil) #BLM

Dutch answer to the removal of the boards at #Margraten US military cemetery, honoring black US soldiers who died while liberating the Netherlands in WWII. This grave injustice went counterproductive for the US government, as shown.

Trump’s peace proposal includes using frozen Russian assets, mostly held in Belgium, for U.S.-led reconstruction, with 50% of profits going to the U.S. This enraged EU diplomats, who fear it jeopardizes a proposed EU loan to Ukraine.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
