As a European, we need to step the fuck up.

As a Ukrainian military I agree.

The pronlem is that europa can't possibly solve its problem democratically. It would be necessary to make too many social groups scream.

[@LondonMoneyCashEnterprise]

Europe is nothing without democracy

[@BlondBeast]

@@marcobonesi6794 The problem is that Europe has been infiltrated entirely by American interests since the end of WW2, we're mere vassals, and our politicians are puppets

[@mikehall3060]

Europe became the worlds most powerful continent under monarchy

[@BlondBeast]

@@marcobonesi6794 The problem is we were made US vassals after our defeat in ww2

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

A good crisis can go a long way to strengthen European unity. Like with Ukr/Rus or increasingly the US. It's normal that these kind of political changes are made by necessity, by major crisis. It's always been like that - there has to be a catalyst for change to happen. I welcome the US under Trump because it'll be what tips us over the edge and forces us to evolve. Make or break.

[@Hackedideal]

The EU's core weakness lies in its fragmentation. For it's a patchwork of competing interests without a single leader to embody its people’s will. In contrast, the U.S., with its unified leadership and institutional support, projects strength and coherence. This leadership vacuum leaves the EU struggling for global respect and leverage against centralized powers like the U.S. and Russia.

[@Chuck_Hooks]

A certain would-be Austrian painter tried to fix all that.

[@susangoaway]

The EU's core weakness lies in its absurdist policies and anti-economical politics. Not to mention its constant attacks on its memberstates' democracies in the form of direct intervention in their elections.

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

I mean yeah but... If you look at Europe before the wall fell (pre 1989, UdSSR and all that) we came a long way. Esp eastern Europe should be VERY grateful for the EU. Who knows what's possible in another 20y, 30y...? If we play well, A LOT.

[@baronvonjo1929]

Its very telling how weak Europe is if they need to team up with each other. These are nations that brought the world into the modern age. They invaded and conquered the world and made a trail of blood and tears all over the place. Now look at them. Weak and in decline. I'm not saying they should return to the mindset of the past or that it was good. But they have fallen so hard in terms of power. Where once one European state could control much of the world at its whims, they now have to go cap in hand together to do anything and they are still struggling.

[@Tonius126]

EU cannot even protect the red sea from houthis, relying largely on the American navy. Europe is reliant on the suez canal and it's up to the USA to protect it, even though it's half a globe away. Also, USA subsidies many European defence budget, letting those countries invest those funds back into economic development instead on thier military. Also, Europe is reliant on the lucrative American markets to sell their expensive goods. Brussels had a fit when America intiated their own subsidies while ignoring chinas for years or their own subsidized economy.

[@markmuller7962]

That's because you're spending a ludicrous amount of money for your planetary empire and inevitably other countries rely on that. Meanwhile, what's the solution to that of the American politics (Tr)? Starting more wa. around the world including attacking historical allies... Tr. Just announced 4 including the old sweet middle east. Congrats

[@Tonius126]

Also, with the rise of asian powers like India, Indonesia, China, Japan, South Korea, vietnam, singapore. Europe loses their economic, military, geopolitical relevance internationally every year to the rising powers in asia.

[@tacob0]

The majority of the EU has no genuine interest in the US isreali colonial genocide pet project. At the end of the day the US and isreali agression only bring them more refugees and instability, Its not even really in american interest to help Israel, just the massive political corruption caused by isreal has made the US almost a slave to them. Since every politician with power is bought by thier lobby. And Europe only complies becouse they are effectively US sattelite states since ww2. Aswell as the german guilt fetish. Ofcourse they will do as little as possible against the houthis. The EU is under no threat of militairy invasion of anyone other then the usa istelf, At this moment, Europe is subsidising the us, By buying US weapons to send to Ukraine. Keeping its bloated arms industry afloat, without the US having to start another war itself. Europe is hardly reliant on American markets. more on the US empire for cheap recources, that empire was established by European countries to begin with.

[@puer4787]

As a European this report fills me with despair. I will not quit this continent no matter what. I love Europe with all my heart. I will go down with the ship. This is the continent that created the modern world. But I don't see a way out.

[@susangoaway]

Europe is a wonderful continent full of powerful peoples and nations. The EU is attempting to destroy that and is the main source of our problems. Especially this self-caused "energy crisis".

[@bedrhnyldz]

[@lavordavor7738]

Csn you please do video about serbia agressive politics in kosovo, bosnia and how it turned montenegro, a nato member into a proxy

[@generalrendar7290]

It's the other way around. Europe is a massive liability and cost for the United States. People have gotten so used to being bribed to be friends with the USA that get hostile when asked to be friends without the money.

[@lilruc]

Let them believe whatever they want, so long as it results in the end of this farce of an alliance.

[@markmuller7962]

I remember so many incredibly innovative European companies that fell into the hands of American Multinationals, not last, Deep Mind which literally jump-started the new age of AI or BioNTech that got only about 20% of profits by the selling of mRNA vaccines. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of brains that move to the zero-welfare wild-frontier country to earn bigger salaries at the expense of the general American population. Also my deep sadness for the UK film industry that did all the work while American corporations got all the profits for 70 years straight now

[@TheGreatOne-gw7xh]

Lol cope harder europoor. 😂😂😂😂

[@onefastr6]

We invented the internet. You’re welcome.

[@MrSandman213]

Bro, brains moving from Europe to the zero welfare wild frontier of the US is to the benefit of the general American population. We had no welfare state when our own families emigrated from Europe to the US either, and it’s always served us well

I am hoping that Trump will agree an FTA with the UK because Biden wanted to meddle with the UK decision to leave the EU. We will see whether Kier Starmer is clever enough to use this advantage.

[@TheHelmsD]

don't you think europe has benefitted immensely from amercia? despite this title? liek rebuilding after world war 1 & 2, saving them in world war 1 & 2..... providing free protection and good trade arraingments....so they can spend on other things like healthcare....etc?

[@kenhart8771]

Wrong. Europe got looted and are now vassals state to USA and Israel.

[@musiccer7446]

Get your savior complex out of here. Europe is rich enough to spend on healthcare AND military. Not to mention, no one spends MORE on healthcare than the US… and you see how that turns out

[@Axel-vq3mv]

i think the thesis is that europe as a collective is becoming economically uncompetetive. spending on your healthcare isnt a good thing. its a problem that needs people paying into it which is generated from economic growth. now if you have an american perspective you idolize universal healthcare but that is mainly bc americans healthcare system is an incredible outlier when it comes to greed and exploitation. however the healthcare system of the US isnt a drain on the resources of the government. i think basically europe has to find ways to be competetive economically otherwise it will be vulnerable politically. the alliance between europe and the states is a great thing but it only works when both are equal partners

[@Hackedideal]

It sure has, but it's not like it has been a charity from the US. It was absolutely necessary to block the expansion of Russian led communism further into Western Europe. Also, the agreements that ended the Second World War largely made Germany completely toothless, so they couldn't try to dominate Europe once again.

[@UndiscoveredPepper]

Europe needs to get its shit together, stop with the moral delusion and obsession, start appreciating individual excellence and, align on virtuous principles.

[@musiccer7446]

Individual excellence is when 99 people suffer for the recognition of 1 person.

[@UndiscoveredPepper]

@ life is suffering. You can either lose or learn. Any other perspective spits in the face of reality and higher human intelligence.

[@susangoaway]

Which Europe though? You realize you are talking about a continent here?

[@markmuller7962]

Europe has renounced it's imperial ambitions a long time ago meanwhile the US with all it's military power deployed around the world it's schooling Europe of not spending enough money in the Army... Sorry America, we're playing a different game over here and yours is vastly more expensive

[@pranshukrishna5105]

yeah, but EU might have to increase millitary funding, since US might pull off.

[@BlondBeast]

@@markmuller7962 Europe was forced to renounce its imperial ambitions *, by the US

How would Europe defend greedland when America anexes it when it cannot even supply ukraine with a land border? Also, Europe is reliant on the suez canal and the red sea for export and import as well as energy but cannot defend it, relying on the US to combat the houthis.

[@Bagginsess]

@@BlondBeastlol "forced" you mean we had to save you twice after devolving into war and then contain the soviets from reaching the Atlantic.

[@TheGelatinousSnake]

US is asking Europe to go on go on colonial campaigns abroad… just saying it’s a very lopsided alliance where US is expected to cross an ocean to defend Allies unwilling to defend themselves. US isn’t even asking for Europe reciprocate and develop capabilities to cross an ocean. Just meet the basic spending obligations that are in and of themselves possibly inadequate to actually defend themselves with.

[@zombiekilldemon]

The EU should not just break up with the USA economically and diplomaticly but create a separate mutual defence agreement outside of NATO with Canada, Panama, and Mexico to deter Trump from invading. If he does invade any of those places then the EU needs to treat that like Hitlers invasion of Poland and declare war on the USA. The USA stopped fascist imperialism in Europe and now it is their turn to stop fascist imperialism here.
