What a moronic take on Pedro Sanchez working to improve relations with China, after USA has become a rogue and very dangerous nation.

This is EXACTLY what I predicted about a year ago would happen because of Trump.
The article mentions urging more cooperation between EU and China many times in many areas, while at the same time mentioning that cooperation with USA is diminishing. I’m surprised that it is Spain that is the forerunner for EU (again).
But mind my words, this is a signal about what is to come. EU will cooperate much more with China, and USA will not be included or asked or even considered!
That’s how bad relations between EU and USA are now. USA demanded to be left out of international obligations, and pissed all over partners and allies, so here you are USA, now you are being left out.

Paywall

IDK why, but that’s actually funny. 👍 🤣

I was very unsure that Orban hadn’t rigged the election, and Hungary would become like Belarus.
I am so relieved to see that democracy worked in Hungary, despite Orban controlling most of the media.

Yes we had a party leader of Danish Peoples Party some years back claiming immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to vote, because a survey showed they mostly voted for pro immigration parties.

That’s how fucked up stupid people can be!! BTW at their peak they achieved almost a fourth the vote here in Denmark, but then they got political influence, and next election they were halved.
The best way in a functioning democracy to get rid of stupid parties is to expose what they really want when they get a bit of influence. Previous election they almost dropped out of congress, but unfortunately they gained some this election.
Unfortunately there is always a good share of racists in almost all countries. But in a functioning democracy they are unlikely to gain enough votes to become the majority party in a government.

South Korean president even.
I would imagine the political interest South Korea has about Israel would generally be pretty limited, it’s outside their cultural sphere. So for South Korea to notice the atrocities of Israel is quite an accomplishment by Israel.

I think Europe may have more in common with South Korea than USA now, and certainly what we have with Israel.

AFAIK the best ranked democracies are Scandinavian, so it’s not like it’s a secret recipe, In Denmark the model has worked since 1953.

Stick with us, the good part of America, by far the largest part, will prevail,

From here it seems the good Americans are a minority, but I hope I’m wrong.

That’s why I said we need new leadership

OK that we can 100% agree on. And also the rest.

We are in unprecedented times,

Absolutely, I never dreamed I would ever be against USA, I grew up in Denmark in the 70’s with Americans being the heroes. Watching American movies and TV series, and everything about USA was cool back then. Also Carter was a true humanitarian, and I trusted him more than any president that has come after.
But Nixon and Watergate and the Vietnam war, then Reagan with the Iran Contra affair, Then Bush with a war based on false intelligence and comments like if aren’t with us you are against us. And Now finally 2 times Trump.
It’s been an ever increasing slippery slope from bad to worse, disrespect for both local law and international law. And now your allies don’t trust you anymore, after threats of invading allied countries and undermining the global economy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the 60 year history that leads up to trump, and a lack of trusting the American population and democracy.

You probably notice that all the presidents I mention are Republican, but that’s not because democrats are that much better, Obama also had illegal surveillance against allied governments, and he used drones illegally into Pakistan and other countries costing more than 70000 civilian casualties.

If USA can turn it all around to something that can be trusted again, I will be the first to celebrate, but for now, I’m no longer holding my breath. As sad as it is.

Oh so Hungary isn’t really a democracy? That FPP shit shouldn’t be allowed in EU.

Then the Dems will have to control him over the next two years.

Except now the Dems are accomplishes, with Schumer doing absolutely nada, he behaves like he is under the thumb of Israel. And with him it stalls Democrats from doing anything.

I hate that the word “could” should have any place in this!!
Was there not a poll the other day that had the opposition leading by 20 points?
There should be absolutely no doubt that Orban loses this.

I just explained for the millionth time that we are fighting back, but we are doing it within our system at this point,

And the system doesn’t work, which is part of the problem. And you have let Trump destroy NATO, allowed threats of invasion of allied countries (Canada and Greenland), and started an illegal war against Iran that is ruining global economy, and emboldened Putin in his war against Ukraine, against the interest of USA’s former allies. And watched in silence as Trump threaten the annihilation of an entire civilization, a threat that is only meaningful if nukes are on the table.

hoping we can get it done without getting too crazy.

It’s clearly too late now, things are far beyon too crazy already. You can wait all you want now, it probably doesn’t matter anymore, not much left for Trump to destroy.
As I have equally mentioned a thousand times here, the problem is not only the administration, it’s the fact that nothing is done, and the fact that the American population elected Trump twice. The second time well knowing he tried a coup. It shouldn’t even have been possible for him to run, but ALL checks and balanced have proven worthless, and USA is now a rogue nation, completely disrespecting both their own laws and international law.
Even attempting to illegally undermine ICC!

You don’t explain shit, you may have done what you could IDK, but the problem isn’t about individuals, it’s systemic, which is why everybody hate USA now.

Europeans are trying to get to throw away our best shot at getting power back

Ridiculous claim with no basis in reality.
I also never wrote the “people” I wrote Americans, and that includes American politicians and all the American institutions that are supposed to defend democracy. The so called democratic safeguards, like the press the courts the congress. Even within the administration they could call for article 25.

You are making an incredibly stupid straw man argument.

Funny for a pope to call others delusional. 🤣🤣🤣

Americans are crazy for allowing it to continue.

Excellent point. 👍

against a world that seems apathetic

I don’t think that’s 100% true, although (former) allies haven’t done much to stop USA, they have expressed that the war is illegal, and no (former) ally has done anything to really help USA and Israel.

AFAIK EU has talked about ending the EU/Israel association agreement, that is the basis for trade between EU and Israel.

I agree it’s not a lot, but it is a sign to both Israel and USA, that we distance ourselves from this war. China of course support Iran.

A major reason we had this war was Iran enriching Uranium for nukes.

Nope, that’s entirely Israeli and American propaganda, all experts agree that Iran was NOT making nukes, and they are NOT enriching uranium to be weapons grade.
