Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

  • Migration myths and ICE coming to Europe

“While EU leaders may not embrace — at least publicly — Trump’s narrative around civilisational erasure, EU migration policies increasingly treat migration and migrants as a threat,” he added.

  • Minnesota Pretti killing

The European Commission did not condemn the killing and regarded it as a domestic issue — a sharp contrast with its approach in 2020, when the rhetoric from diplomats in response to George Floyd’s killing took a stronger stance against violence perpetrated by US authorities.

  • Greenland and Rutte

Rutte did not criticise Trump or his threats, instead saying the US president “was right” to push the issue of Arctic security and had done “a lot of good stuff” for Nato.

  • The ‘Board of Peace’

EU institutions, however, are seemingly open to participating, as long as it aligns with the UN’s requirements.

  • US Big Tech and EU rules

the EU proposed changing its digital rules through its Data and AI omnibus proposals.

NGOs Corporate Europe Observatory and LobbyControl also found many of the proposals’ major changes had been explicitly requested and lobbied for by US tech companies and their associations.

Migration rules have been changing for years, in answer to voters demands, not trump.

Murders of individual citizens are, in fact, an internal issue.

Rutte represents nato, not the EU.

The board of peace has been a failure so far, with many EU counties ignoring it or straight rejecting. Sure Hungary joined, but orban is putins lap dog, so if course he will follow trump.

The EU is constantly threatening to impose fines or tariffs on tech giants, has strong armed Apple and Google more than once (GDPR, cookie law, usb C) and fines the hell out of Facebook and Co regularly. Some rethoric or proposals that fail doesn't make all the work invalid, as long as it doesn't pass.

Alarmist article.
