Mais uma pérola da hfg. O título que ela critica é de um podcast, que ela confunde com um artigo. Típico!

Europe is ready to negotiate with the US.

We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods.

Because we're always ready for a good deal.

But we’re also prepared to respond with countermeasures.

And protect ourselves against indirect effects through trade diversion ⭣

The overarching view of investors I've spoken to over the last two days is that Trump risks pushing the US into recession

Combined with the existential security risks he's potentially creating for Ukraine - and Europe

Welcome to the new world

🇺🇸🇪🇺

The United States must convince Russia to do this [30-day ceasefire]. That is, we agree, and if the Russians agree, the ceasefire will start at that very moment - President Zelenskyy.

Who says EU doesn't have agency? Big news from Berlin

€500bn fund for infrastructure confirmed

And debt brake has been abolished for defence (1% of GDP needs to come from budget. Everything above that can be borrowed, no upper limit)

And this just the beginning of the European response

🇪🇺🇩🇪

“The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that.”

Donald Tusk, Polish PM

He did

Zelensky dictator, right?

Respect

YouTube video by BR24 “If it's not Brussels, then it's Moscow": Zelenskyy's Statement at MSC 2025 | BR24

🇺🇦Zelenskyy pleads with Europeans to finally put aside the petty nationalism and unite to put themselves in charge of their own future.

"Some in Europe might be frustrated with 🇪🇺Brussels. But let’s be clear: If not Brussels, then Moscow. It’s your decision. That’s geopolitics. That’s history."

Time for Europeans to act

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Can Europe defend itself without America? It would need to replace military aid, a nuclear umbrella and leadership

On Hegseth's comments, I would recommend re-reading the detailed briefing I wrote while at Munich a year ago. On whether Europe could defend itself without America, what that would require, and why leadership was as much of a problem as raw military power. www.economist.com/briefing/202...

WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 11: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk joins U.S. President Donald Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11, 2025 in Washington, DC. Trump is to sign an executive order implementing the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) "workforce optimization initiative," which, according to Trump, will encourage agencies to limit hiring and reduce the size of the federal government.

FT Editorial Board | Elon Musk’s dismantlement of federal agencies, freezing funding and pushing staff to resign goes far beyond a mere restructuring. It aims to shift the constitutional separation and balance of powers. www.ft.com/content/f766...

Tesla’s European Sales Drop in January After Musk Disrupts Politics There The U.S. electric car company’s sales are sliding across Europe, amid what many see as interference in local affairs by Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk.

Dear Europeans! 💚

“Why should we be deported?”

Letter by Friedrich Trump, Donald’s grand-father

Mães dispensadas do BE escrevem aos militantes: descrevem processo de "humilhação" e exigem "responsabilidades políticas" à direção <p>Em dois emails enviados aos militantes esta semana, as duas mães dispensadas pelo Bloco de Esquerda criticam explicações de Mariana Mortágua, descrevem telefonemas, reuniões Zoom e negociações “forçadas” que levaram à saída do partido. E apelam a que o BE reflita internamente sobre o sucedido e a que se assumam responsabilidades políticas dos despedimentos</p>

O comportamento do BE em todo este processo é profundamente revoltante. Um noio.
