The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

davekeating.substack.comThe US has declared rhetorical war on the EUThe calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

However, freeing Europe from American domination is no easy task. As I write in my new book published today, it isn't just Europe's defence and economy that 🇺🇸 owns. It's also European minds. In my book, I lay out a plan to free those minds. Available now for purchase at www.TheOwnedContinent.eu

If M*sk doesn't like the EU because it has just levied a €150m fine on X for being shitty we could instead arrange for each sovereign nation of the EU to each levy a €15m fine instead. Is that what he wants?

CRIMINAL CORRUPT FASCIST LYING, CHILD-RAPING TRAITOR TRUMP and Musk, are both Putin owned, racist, white supremacist NAZI Fascists. These entitled fools actually believe their sorry, drug addled asses to be superior to ALL "Others", thanks to daddy's money and our tax-dollars that gave them a start.

Unfortunately, the US has become a vassal state of Russia. It has even copied its security strategy. A closer harmonization between allies is hardly thinkable. Who could have fathomed that the US ties to Russia would become closer than to the EU? The US is slowly abolishing itself.

Greedy guys are just very angry that EU still stands by the rule of law and does not let them corrupt and monetize more relations into streams of vassal tributes. X and Meta worked for years on making people stupid enough to enjoy and support such claims, but we still resist them. Time to abolish X

THIS is why they hate Europe! It's about DEMOCRACY. Full democracies have a score of 8.01 to 10 (out of 10) like most of Europe. The US is a Flawed democracy. Countries like Russia, China, Middle East score lower than 6, which means they are not considered democracies. bsky.app/profile/umai...

Europe is already great and more democratic than most parts of the world. Don't let the American Contagion spread.

He can afford to pay even the fine were €120 billion. Tesla recently approved him $1 Trillion pay package so €120 million is not a big deal. But the fact that he was fined, not being above the law worldwide, could make him feel bad...🤔

Its his money don't you know. No one has the right to take his money, its his and no one else's. I bet he is livid about this. Some people will expect him to pay tax soon - it is just so unfair.

They should pull a trump and tell Elon that they will slap a 100% tariff on all teslas and he will have to pay 3 billion or they will ban x. The only way to hurt him is though threat of losing his future income.

They have the money, yes, but generally speaking it's not just sitting in a bank somewhere - they have to liquidate stock, borrow against future earnings, divert money from projects or acquisitions, etc.

Our forefathers are ashamed. This is a slap in the face to our service members, those that fought, gave limbs, sanity and lives so that the U.S and the world could be free. #Republicans support this crap? What happened? You’re backing fascism and the destruction of democracy without question.

As we have seen for the last ten years, Euros are too weak and spineless to do anything. The US will continue walking all over them and they'll continue to sit back and take it. Don't expect anything different.

The same rationale for breaking up the EU would seem to equally apply to the United States. Some states like California (the 4th or 5th largest economy in the world) would likely come out ahead. Most southern and rural states...not so much.

Then you know the EU must be a threat. Trump 180⁰ Rule Book, p10. Up is Down, Bad is Good, Weak is Strong, Wrong is Right. Enemies are Allies, Allies are Enemies.

Absolutely! It's about maintaining nationalism to conquer and rule as Rome has done. Bonkers that 'woke' is to maintain ignorance - I don't understand I believe in the same deity as you but I'll kill you for it. @theguardian.com ? This is what @un.org should be fixing as #ScienceUnderSiege

More to do with Elon Musk being reminded that there are rules and that they apply to him, Tesla, and Twitter. He's a petulant school bully pushing his minions to do his bidding. The EU will exist in 2028. I'm not so sure about the USA.

We are Sick of Protecting the European Nations who run there mouths to Moscow, because the #USA🇺🇸 will protect them. It's time the EU is broken up into Sovereign Republics, and they work & get along with the Kremlin... #WWG1WGA🇺🇸

I'll say the same about Europe "Oooo we hate you Americans" Oh? Care to explain your leaders kissing Trumps ass, not doing much to back up Ukraine against Trump, and your various nations lack of any attempt to push back against Trump? Doesn't look like you guys take issue with the US at all

The rw whacko Trump regime represents you in the world though…and they will continue to do so until such time that they are removed and arrested. EU and the rest of the world can’t keep suffering the consequences of 🇺🇸s decisions.

it was a minority propelled by disinformation. it was a CONCERTED EFFORT TO FALSIFY VOTES IT WAS PUTIN AND OTHER BAD ACTORS THAT FACILITATED THE SUBVERSION. IT WAS NOT A COLLECTIVE IT IS A FARCE & LIES - WE WERE COMPROMISED FROM WITHIN - TREASON

the recent TN 07 race has the SAME statistical mismatch that the 7 swing states had in 2024, the 7 states that Musk networked through Starlink. Tina Peters had access to the tabulation operating system, my money, they hacked the software and rig elections.

The pro-Russians, Christofascists, and tech oligarchs are in charge. I don't see any meaningful opposition from e.g. the Congress. There are no guardrails aside from the courts perhaps.

Russia would be the only benefactor of EU breakup. So of course Putin’s puppet in the US is pushing it like a stock market pump & dump. Bc Trump has the short term vision of a dying demented amoral man utterly void of intellect & easily manipulated by an inferior fragile ego. His complicity is /1

Most accurately described as “useful idiot” bc he destroys everything he touches, fails at every business venture & has a long history of ruining the lives of everyone who ever trusted him, from sub-contractors & investors, to “friends” & rape victims. He has killed more careers & reputations/1

Than the plague he personally spread nationwide w/ his $$ raising rallies AFTER being told such gatherings would spread disease causing PREVENTABLE death, people should isolate/vaccine could be produced. He chose making $$, causing death & murdering a million people. Bc destroying this country/2

Is the GOAL. Killing as many of us, deporting people, is all part of ending USA world leadership & the allied Nation unions that prevent Russian expansionism. Which he has worked tirelessly to destroy & have now pushed the US off the world stage & out of intelligence sharing, w/ more enemies than/3

To many this may sound ridiculous, but they would be wrong. He is the disease that took over the GOP and ended it. It's patriotic Americans who are the cure, they can extricate themselves from this disease. It's time this old man take his entourage and self deport.

Exactly! If so many millions hear his retoric every time he opens his mouth it's astonishing his base has deliberately ignored the obvious.

The World had a disrupted and disunited Europe last Century It was called “ The Nazi Era” This “reprise”,suggested by Trump, simply replaces Adolf with Vladimir Stalin would be wetting his pants with glee …..

They can f off. We must hold the line against Fascism in Europe. AGAIN. Honestly, they only just decided to enter WW2 when they were threatened. Too many US Fascists got away Scott free after the war.

Europe keeping America at arm’s length is not some dark anti American impulse. It is self preservation. Washington has spent the last twenty years lurching between sanity and carnival. Can America of today really be the exemplar or normality?

Exactly and another reason why Farage,Putin and a gullible public were responsible for taking the worse position, taking the Brits out of Europe.

What the freakin shitshow. Americans knows what they must do now, tell your representatives in the House to start impeachment or democrats will after Republicans are ousted next elections until next December.. Americans people will not be apart of Putin murderers puppets. Killing women and children

Johnson was a piker compared to Trump. Maybe if Johnson had fought for restoring slavery rather than simply trying to blunt the impact of the War we could argue. Oh, & he did leave office peaceably when his party rejected him & Grant defeated Seymour. How about 1 and 1a?

This is a “man”!! This is a man who loves his country, people and democracy & freedom! He would bleed & die for it he has shown the world what courage looks like! EVERYTHING AMERICAS FELON OF 34 JUST ISN’T AND COULD NEVER BE!! STAND FOR UKRAINE!! DON’T SURRENDER!!!

It’s time we told Trump to get his Pinocchio nose out of our affairs or maybe we should retaliate by demanding that the US should be abolished. It clearly doesn’t work anymore with the hideous racist South having regressed to pre-Civil War levels.

I am so glad that Canada has aligned itself with the EU now that Canada has, apparently, very few shared values with the USA. I hope the EU stays strong and continues to fund and assist Ukraine (which, in fact, is the ONLY country defending the EU!)

The bloviating of a dying, mentally deteriorating lame duck president and his incompetent myrmidons isn't the threat to the largest trade bloc isn't quite the threat it sounds like. Everyone take a deep breath.

We are armed. And with gear that makes Russian tech look like the 30 year old unmaintained toys they are, operated by unmotivated slavsoldiers. Let them invade Finland, Germany or Austria and see what they get.

We dragged you into an illegal war under false pretenses and murdered a million people. Ya'll forgot all about that and I'd say that's a far bit worse than tariffs. No I'm not supporting him but you guys have no concept of history. When Trump is gone, we will go about repairing our relationships.

Hungarians have always been weird, but they are tiny and unimportant. All the other countries you mention have not turned to the hard right. All my life UK and US press have said that Le Pen is about to take France and they don't.

The reason apparently that these far right parties are having a renaissance in Europe is Russian AND US funding. So much money from your far right billionaire class and your far right evangelicals.

This is Trumpist exceptionalism. Europe's distrust of the US is effectively permanent - how can we trust an ally that will betray us every 4 years ignoring all their international agreements?

Trump understands nothing other than money and bullying bc he is a weak man and Pootin tells him how to think. Trump will surrender Alaska, and let Canada and the EU fend for themselves against ruzzian imperialism. War is coming to us all.

The US (currently) is no friend of Europe. It needs to show some respect for the values and laws in other nations. In my view X should be closed down in Europe if it doesn’t comply.

Should it be closed down because there are people with opinions over there you don't like of are there good motivations of misconduct that drive this wish?

The EU often makes new rules and fines when it can’t control a platform. Shutting X down would only reinforce the view that Europe is turning more authoritarian and less open to free speech.

That is one argument which has merit. The counter argument is that X isn’t a platform which supports freedom of speech (many accounts have been deleted for expressing views considered unacceptable) and which doesn’t regulate posts adequately.

OR take a leaf out America's book and force X to "sell" its European operations to a/some Europeans that Europe chose to appoint.... (at which the mericans would moan complain and split about freedom of speech blah blah despite the irony)

X, Facebook, Google, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, et. al. All are poison. If Europe has to go it alone in IT, it has its own companies and technologists to backfill these services. Russian psyops destabilization has taken down the USA. Europe must defend.

Absolutely. We're entering a new world order, and the nations still adhering to the interests of democracy are going to have to align. It is really only a matter of whether they choose to now or are forced to later.

"If Europeans fail to stand up now for Europeans’ sovereign right to determine their own laws, the EU will collapse. The European Union is the only tool that can let Europeans avoid this fate. If Europeans throw that tool away, they are consigning themselves to the dustbin of history." So TRUE !

Trump's National Security Strategy a path to a pre-1939, but with Putin as head. Twas a fractured world after WW-I, with old empires & rising totalitarian states. Arising from it the League of Nations, now NATO but absent US, wasn't enough to hold the peace & lead to WW-II. We are heading to WW-III😬

What if Europeans call for the fragmentation of the United States into blue and red states, or perhaps regional federations? After all this is what Trump is trying to achieve himself even if he does not articulate it.

He absolutely deserves to be called another hitler, his organization is a terror organization. When someone becomes so rotten to the core with no redeeming quality it's time patriotic Americans out right fire him and his organization. They are all toxic.

The US (and in particular its corporations) hate that they have to deal with the EU rather than be able to pressure individual Nations (or indeed influential individuals within those Nations). You can more easily pressure (diplomatically, economically) individuals. It’s about control.

The one tool that our reps and senators have is to impeach trump in the house, then convict in the senate then remove that piece of shit from the WH once and for all , call, hound your reps and senators!!!!!

No. This is why. Fuck many Americans really don't look at what is happening outside of thier own country. It's like the USA is living on another planet. For the love of god. Look up Digital ID and Social Credit Score.

Also, the EU is actually about the same size as the USA and Russia combined. People need to understand that Trump and Putin are soulmates as far as greed and contempt for the lives of others are concerned. They have agreed to carve up Ukraine's assets and to hell with a little casual murdering.

That's right, and we'll soon be under even more pressure due big techs, so: Time for Europe's Boston tea party: Throw US digital big tech overboard and use our own solutions instead otherwise we remain vulnerable to blackmail! 🇪🇺💪 #DigitalTeaParty

The EU is made up of different countries, languages, customs, and is knit together by self interest. That self interest is encouraging them to combat the Silicon Valley oligarchs in their attempts to take over and run things in ways that benefit THEM rather than those who don’t want to be consumed.

I find the timing interesting. My sense is that the 28 point peace plan was supposed to happen, but because Europe stepped in and it was foiled, when Kellogg & kushner went to Russia this was the outcome. You must make it clear you are not with the Europeans.
