My recent trip to Brussels for the
@NATO Ministerial meeting left me with one overriding impression: the US has long failed to address the glaring inconsistency between its relations with NATO and the EU. These are almost all the same countries in both organizations. When these countries wear their NATO hats, they insist that Transatlantic cooperation is the cornerstone of our mutual security. But when these countries wear their EU hats, they pursue all sorts of agendas that are often utterly adverse to US interests and security—including
interests and security—including censorship, economic suicide/climate fanaticism, open borders, disdain for national sovereignty/promotion of multilateral governance and taxation, support for Communist Cuba, etc etc.
This inconsistency cannot continue.
Either the great nations of Europe are our partners in protecting the Western civilization that we inherited from them or they are not. But we cannot pretend that we are partners while those nations allow the EU's unelected, undemocratic, and unrepresentative bureaucracy in Brussels to pursue policies of civilizational suicide.

Deputy Secy of State Christopher Landau says the US “cannot pretend that we are partners” w/ NATO nations because the European Union—of which many are members—pursues “policies of civilizational suicide.”
Landau is a former clerk of SCOTUS Justice Thomas. Stephen Miller lobbied for his appointment.

Zelensky held a two-hour call with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The conversation, which included Ukraine's Umerov and Gen. Hnatov, focused on difficult issues of territory and U.S. security guarantees. Major gaps remain... over Russia’s demand that Ukraine withdraw from parts of Donbas.

The EU’s Fine Against X is Not About Speech or ‘Censorship’ | TechPolicy.Press
The €120 million fine under the Digital Services Act is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, writes Stanford's Daphne Keller.
Don't let anyone — not even the US Secretary of State — tell you that the European Commission's €120 million enforcement against Elon Musk’s X under the Digital Service Act is about censorship, writes Daphne Keller. It’s just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, she says.

When Elon Musk calls for abolishing the EU and Dmitry Medvedev applauds, it’s a clear reminder of what’s at stake.
Authoritarians and self-styled disruptors always agree on one thing: a weaker Europe.
But let’s be honest — the EU exists precisely to prevent the kind of power games 1/2

Offord's astroturfing Vote No Borders campaign was one of the BBC's blatant attempts to influence the outcome of the 2014 indyref. It was given a full 10 minutes on the 6 o clock news & falsely presented as a grassroots campaign while the BBC ignored genuine grassroots initiatives on the Yes side.

What Musk really means is that if the EU was no more the power of the individual countries would diminish such that they would be unable to stand up to the likes of him & Trump.
Medvedev’s supportive reply is further proof Brexit is a Putin project
Musk‘s X has just been fined $140 mill by EU

Scottish Conservative peer defects to Reform UK
Malcolm Offord appeared at a rally alongside Nigel Farage in Falkirk on Saturday to announce the move.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

"Farage in Falkirk? It should make our stomachs heave to have him in Scotland"
Nigel Farage’s Falkirk visit sparks outrage, with many Scots saying his presence north of the border should make “our stomachs heave”.
Farage arrives in Scotland today, and it should make our collective stomach heave that this repulsive, dangerous extremist has crossed the border. Amid scapegoating schoolkids and allegations of antisemitism anyone who supports this man is morally in the gutter

Meanwhile on TruthSocial...
Trump & supporter cite the lawless killing of the War on Terror to defend their especially lawless killing today.
Turns out that sending drones around the world to kill people, keeping info secret, and denying civilian deaths has dire consequences. Go figure!

It’s Elon’s EU tweet
This is pretty much exactly like a European saying the United States should be abolished, so that the governments of individual states can better represent their people.
It’s a take, you’re entitled to it, but what’s it got to do with you, buddy?
