USA

“Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States,” says Trump, talking about the Red Sea raid against the Houthis. On his social – Truth – he is once again knocking at the door of isolationism, which has always been a sensitive issue in the country, both on the right and on the left. But an American retreat would perhaps be the worst scenario for Europe, because the vacuum it would leave is currently impossible to fill

To the risks we already face from the 59 or so wars in the world right now, one may be added that exacerbates them all: America's retreat. When Donald Trump calls Biden crazy for bombing the Houthis, he touches a sensitive nerve in American public opinion, both on the right and the left. The Founding Fathers of the American Republic had turned their backs on Europe by vowing not to get involved in its religious wars. Today, many may harbor the same sentiment toward the secular feuds between Shiites and Sunnis. The isolationist right and pacifist left wanted to stay out of World War I and World War II, abandoning Europe to the Reich or the Hitler-Stalin duo. Today, some right-wing people wonder why helping Ukraine defend its borders if streams of drugs and waves of illegal immigrants pass through the U.S.-Mexico border. Many left-wing people hate an expression like "world gendarme" and wish for an illusory peace created only by the UN. An America that folds in on itself would leave gaps that no one else can fill. Or has the will to fill, in the case of the Europeans. In this sense, what is happening in the Red Sea is likely to be a small taste of the world to come. Instead, small nations, dependent on foreign trade as European states are, are among the most unprepared to survive this scenario.

Lady Ursula’s plan for European rearmament is the usual German delaying tactic: each state will put up the money for itself, a little from the EIB, a little from some other fund with a fancy name, and then we’ll see who survives. Of course, even with the separation of military spending from that great idiocy called ‘Stability and Growth Pact’, the heavily indebted states won’t be able to do much more than they’ve been doing. Nobody is talking about serious matters: if we really want Europe to become a credible political subject, we have to start by changing the treaties in a framework that includes the United Kingdom

The Qatargate had dissolved in a soap bubble also due to the lack of credibility of the Prosecutor who originally dealt with the case. But there’s nothing to be done, the trawling starts again: accusations are once again being made against two Italian S&D MEPs. S&D is the group that most often uses moralism for political ends and that has been intransigent in the reform of the Parliament, limiting the freedom of mandate of European MEPs and turning them into a kind of automaton. The problem is the separation of legislative and judicial powers. In these times of chaos, it should be pointed out to the European left that in the race to be the purest, there is always someone purer who will purge you

The defeat of the progressives, who in Europe have begun to tear their clothes off and scream the end of the world because of Trump’s victory, without realizing that this is an opportunity for the EU to become something serious. That is: to become a real state, capable of being a state. That is: to have at least a common defense, a parliament with the right of initiative, a central bank capable of acting as lender of last resort, a common debt and a common industrial policy capable of boosting internal demand, without wasting time behind the antics of Lindner, Ferber and other austerity-minded Germans, or the green stupidity of the Greens and Timmermans. Finally, do the most important thing: acknowledge your roots. All the most democratic and federalist constitutions in the world. From Switzerland’s to America’s, are not ashamed to guard the Word of God while allowing freedom of religion

A ridiculous European radical chic left: they cry out against Trump’s fascism and come up with new arguments that don’t hold water. They have invented a new difference: on the one hand Atlanticism and on the other hand the West, as if the EU wasn’t the fruit of the Atlantic relationship. They don’t understand that the number one problem of the USA has only one name: China. And therefore, from their point of view, it makes sense to try to separate Russia from China. So the EU has an opportunity to finally become a real political entity with the Brits in it

The European caviar left is now tearing its hair out over the danger Musk poses to democracy. In contrast, when he was funding Democratic campaigns, he was something of a myth. Of course, not a word about Soros or the CEO of JP Morgan. The latter in particular wants to open the world’s largest digital bank in Europe by gobbling up European savings and acquiring sensitive data. But since the banks have always been generous with the Left all over the world, for heaven’s sake, no one says anything. The usual double standards

Bubblereport #13 – Farmers’ anger is rampant throughout Europe, and this week it also arrived in Strasbourg at the plenary session. About a hundred tractors blocked the entrance to the Euro Chamber while Lady Ursula and Charles Michel were in the chamber. Who knows what they will come up with to quell the protests? One thing is certain: for once Europe has only one voice, that of the farmers!

The end of Atlanticism as we know it – To say that Donald Trump’s possible return to the White House is detrimental to the European Union would be the understatement of the century! A new political class is emerging in the US which, unfortunately for the Franco-German axis, is not as committed to its European partners as its predecessors. This would mean darker and darker days for Brussels and the whole continent

Anything but relying on the French and the Italians – One of the most pressing problems for the European Union is air defense, which is currently provided by Germany, which in turn chooses to depend on two actors: Israel and the United States, which supply the Arrows 3 and Patriot respectively. But what happens if for some reason the said supply should be interrupted? It seems that from the Russian energy problems, the Germans have learnt nothing…

In Brussels there’s a new stone guest – After his controversial words about Nato and Russia, the defence ministers meeting in Brussels could only think of Donald Trump. But maybe a Europe left alone could be the best shock therapy against its possible disintegration. His words are an aid to the sleepwalkers living in the bubble

Not even a casual mention – Europe is not named at all in Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin. A sign that it is seen internationally only as an emanation of the United States in the Old Continent, especially by the Deep State entrenched in the Pentagon, which now seems ready to return to dialogue with the Kremlin in the face of the possible election of Donald Trump
