MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

Donald Trump has launched a crusade to convert European politics to his cause, mobilizing the full force of American diplomacy to promote “patriotic” parties, stamp on migration, destroy “censorship” and save “civilization” from decay.

The question is whether Europe’s embattled centrists have the power, or the will, to stop him. In its newly released National Security Strategy document, the White House set out for the first time in a comprehensive form its approach to the geopolitical challenges facing the U.S. and the world.

While bringing peace to Ukraine gets a mention, when it comes to Europe, America’s official stance is now that its security depends on shifting the continent’s politics decisively to the right.

He is hurting them by taking their revenue away from his company. Ouch! It hurt itself in its confusion.

This by itself should be enough to have Twitter banned, at least temporarily.

You don't just get to retaliate for getting fined for breaking the law. That's how you upgrade a fine to a prison sentence if you're a regular person.

Way too many artists.
For many the choices are paying for their patreon or following them on twitter or instagram, both of which are ass.

The world is being run by children.

Fucking insane.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

Cool, then fuckjng get some balls and block Twitter altogether.

See how quickly they rolled over when Brazil blocked them and they realized everyone was moving to Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon, giving lots of other people the same idea.

Tit for tat bullshit that you only usually see on the middle-school playground.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Have you seen what we're dealing with? Didn't Trump just get a made-up trophy from FIFA to prevent a tantrum?

[-] melvisntnormal@feddit.uk 11 points 6 days ago

Why is the text of the summary completely different from the contents of the article?

[-] phillycodehound@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

What an idiot!

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Why the fuck was the EU Commission on there in the first place?
