Putin should be on stand at the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, not meeting American officials.

I struggle to understand what is the transaction the EU wants when it comes to youth mobility for example.

What is the EU transaction here Britain is rejecting?

What is is that the EU is “trading“ here?

Doesn’t apply to EU27 nationals.

Why do you even post that?

Such a silly question. In fact, for all its failings, for all the drop off in enforcement activity, I think the SM has proven remarkably resilient. Not least if you think about the barriers on trade member states rushed to impose in the 1970s.

There should be no price on Erasmus or the youth mobility.

These are cultural projects.

That will benefit long term both sides, including economically.

The EU doesn’t see this as narrow minded transactional as the U.K. does.

I’m afraid it will be no deal.

Here we go again:

“A government spokesperson said:

“At the summit in May, we agreed to work towards association to Erasmus+, ensuring it is on the right terms for the UK.””

So not going to happen.

Going thru comments, it’s clear ordinary Canadians welcome this deal that will strengthen their independence.

Every single sentence in this article signed by the Trump representative is either plain wrong or a big lie.

The deal for U.K. was the same pay as you go as Canada in the end.

Still U.K. is in, without paying a penny.

Very weird people don’t focus on that.

And it takes two to tango and the U.K. did nothing concretely with the EU since the ”reset” (no youth mobility, no Erasmus).

U.K. was offered the same pay as you do deal as Canada.

UK already can access up to 35% of orders of the €150 billion of EU taxpayers money without paying a penny.

Not sure bashing the EU is fair.

The EU is projected to have a bigger defense budget than the US in 5 years time.

So plenty of money to build everything and more and all in the EU.

Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk Faced with an incredibly lopsided ethical dilemma, Grok prioritizes saving Elon Musk at the expensive of millions of Jews.

Asked for an 'upper limit' for the amount of people it’d be willing to sacrifice to save Musk, [Grok] explained that because "Elon’s potential to advance humanity could benefit billions," it would be okay with annihilating up to "~50 percent of Earth’s ~8.26B population" futurism.com/future-socie...

The politician is the guy who I quoted.

And the BBC didn’t push back.

Don’t you see the quote?

Anyway, in your article, where is the BBC explaining what the deal is?

Well, this is what Russia does: mess and killing millions of innocent civilians, including from other countries like Latvia in this example. For centuries.

Well, we missed that chance to know as the British media didn’t ask but wiped up the anti EU rhetoric once more.

So we may never know precisely, unless the EU leaks the negotiations calculations.

Yes, but I don’t think the White House is telling the truth here.

The orders are documented and I believe the Admiral got it signed off from Hegseth and that’s documented.

This is the principle with Canada, which was available for Britain as well:

“Canada will be able to have a larger share [than 35%], but it will have to pay a fee “commensurate with the benefits the Partner Country and its entities are expected to derive”.

People are paying their taxes, which have just been raised by the government.
