2025-03-01
How fortunate her opinion doesn’t matter outside the EU.

“Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge,” Kallas writes on social media following the Oval Office confrontation. “Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine.”

#13  By gad, sir, our gunsels were gaudy
The day we encountered a body
Of spearchucking wogs,
All so awed by our togs
That they ran, to the last man and Mahdi!

#10  Earlier this past week we saw that the UK had only 25 deployable tanks. So they need about 10 years of massive defense purchases to achieve any "leadership".

#6  IMHO the 'Free World' was dealt a fatal blow on 9/11 2001 and Bush's declaration that 'Islam is Peace' in the aftermath of an Islamic massacre on American soil was its death rattle.

Submission to Islam and opposition to free speech has been the consensus of the 'Free' World ever since. (e.g. here and here). This consensus was shared even by Trump in 2015.

#5  They all seem busy trying to make it The Mediterranean Union.

MU: we are the free and sophisticated world!

UK: if you shared the story of the government using an 11 year old girl to attract African settlers, we can arrest you during your transfer at Heathrow.

#4  Given the Euros position on 'free speech' they hardly are ones looking for a new leader for the free world.

#3  Trump is the new leader that we put in place out of disgust for their globalist baloney. For them, the Biden lesson ought to be that American presidents are not easily removed. Calling for Trump’s removal is dumb. He likely cracking the knuckles if his pump hand in preps for his response.

#2  I noticed that "Europa" didn't say anything about picking up more of the cost.

#1  IMO: EUropeans (and Brits) need to focus on tending their own garden - it's overgrown by weeds and overrun by pests - and stop pretending that Europe is center of the universe.
