I love the idea there's a debate about whether we/UK should rejoin the EU Customs Union; its the same old entitled nonsense.
Sure we can express an interest or even desire to rejoin, but expressing that in the face of the EU's pretty obvious position that it treats the UK with suspicion & would only welcome the UK back with very serious conditions, is just political stupidity.
If we want to rejoin step one is building back trust & goodwill, something we've not really been doing!
Rob de Wijk: ‘VS bang voor verenigd Europa, wil via radicaal-rechts EU ontmantelen’
De nieuwe veiligheidsdoctrine van de Verenigde Staten is een ‘erkenning van de angst die de VS heeft voor een sterk verenigd Europa’. ‘Dit is een poging om via radicaal-rechts – ‘de patriotten’, zoals ze worden genoemd – de Europese Unie te ontmantelen.’🎧

Trump’s new National Security Strategy openly says the quiet part:
🇺🇸 Break the EU
🇺🇸 Weaken NATO
🇺🇸 Boost far-right parties like AfD
🇺🇸 Force Europe to bend to US economic interests
This isn’t an “ally”. It’s a hostile power trying to pull Europe apart from within.
European leaders wanted to meet with the trump administration/ rubio / witkoff team who refused stop over in #Europe and flew from russia back to the US.
Trump team isn’t interested in meeting with allies, because allies don't pay the Trump family. It's all very simple.
Putin is not only offering the Trump family billions in deals, but joint propaganda projects to make Trump look good. Trump is Putin's dog and will lick it all up like a good boy.
Keir Starmer is urging firms to 'do deals with Beijing' as a way of boosting the UK's economy.
I'm not sure what people were thinking when they voted for Brexit, but its unlikely they were thinking China was a better business partner than Europe?
Given the concerns about China's threat to national security (which Starmer also mentioned), its difficult to see this as a rational choice - more like a desperate move to shift focus from his failure to re-engage with the EU?
A destroyed school in Pokrovske, Dnipropetrovsk region, not far from the front line.
The videos were filmed six months apart.
The video author writes that at first it wasn’t clear to them which school entrance it was or from which side. But it turned out that almost the entire school has been destroyed. Nearly the whole building is gone, with a huge crater where the gym used to be.
