#russia are really #backsliding by the day, now they say they will let #ukrain join the #eu if they stay out of #nato https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r.. Honestly at this point they may let #ukraine join #nato so far as they let the #russian #army #withdraw without further #losses ...
Will be interesting if nobody wants to #buy the #eu #bonds they are #issuing to #fund their #military #expansion https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/who-go.. There are not too many people very flush at the minute.
#us #president #trump #warning the #eu , specifically #germany about becoming too #energy #dependant on #russia back in 2018: https://youtu.be/KfVdIKaQzW8?t=1296 They #responded by #laughing at him. They're not laughing any more. Perhaps they should have paid more attention.
#eu about to #issue shit tonnes of more #magical #bonds to #fund #energy and #security https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/europea.. Essentially this is the EU's way of #printing #money . #euro is going to #crash hard.
Apparently #russia #threaten to #cutoff #gas to #europe and the #eu by stopping #nordstream 1: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/first-r.. A lack of #energy #security could still be Europe's undoing.
A #hitpiece on the #uk and #boris by the #eu #claiming the #uk is not doing enough to help #ukrainian #refugees - as #britiain #refuses to enable #uncontrolled #immigration https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/bri.. The UK is providing #support to #poland with #money *and* people. There *is* an #immigration path, but it's one that #requires checks. #brexit means we are able to perform these checks.
#elonmusk accurately calling for #europe #eu to #restart #nuclear #plants , #us to #produce #oil and #gas in an #effort to #decentralise from #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/elon-m.. #us #press #secretary #jenpsaki says that the option is not yet being #considered - and the #biden #administration will be slow to the punch yet again.
And just as the #eu was #uniting against #russia on #ukraine - they all begin to #pullout of their #commitments https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e..

Well shit, looks like the #eu are actually going to cut #russia out of #swift https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/c.. This means they are likely to #retaliate by cutting of #gas and #oil to all of the #west , whilst getting more friendly with #china .

More #evidence that the #eu is a #waste of #taxpayer #money as told by #scottmanley https://youtube.com/watch?v=on6C8IxImRo Even the #director of the #esa has called for #europe to stop messing around! After years of #funding - they have very little to show for it... They are *years* behind every other #country , including the #us , #china , #russia and #india . The #uk gave up waiting for them to develop something years ago.
Interesting, the #eu are claiming have brought #peace to #europe - but they are only 30 tears old, whereas #nato is 70 years old: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ar_mQiX-kIo Apparently the #eu was awarded the #noble #peace #prize - despite #nato having done all the work! Talking about having a short #memory ...
#eu #mep 's #draft a #bill to #ban #crypto and #anonymous #money #transactions in the name of stopping #crime and #terrorism https://www.trendingtopics.eu/eu-wants-t.. They seem to believe that before #crypto , there was none of these things... And as if there being a #law will stop #criminals breaking it. What it will do, as always, is affect the #innocent ...
The #eu #parliament have come to the #conclusion that the #uk #public were #misled about the overwhelming #benefits of the #eu - and of course no findings find themselves at #fault at all: https://www.lotuseaters.com/often-misled.. A #government #source said that they have learned *nothing* about #brexit or #transparency - and they appear to be right.
Interesting how when the #eu , namely #germany and #france is faced with the likes of #facebook , #instagram (and #meta in general), apparently #sovereignty is important! "Digital giants must understand that the European continent will resist and affirm its sovereignty". They #laughed when the #uk insisted on reclaiming its own... Also note how they speak as a #superstate , not individual #nations ... Whatever works for them I guess. As time goes on, I realise #britain is very different from the rest...
