The author wrote that the vandals were mostly born as French, but were rooted in a nihilistic counterculture that glorifies violence. Their political socialization, if it even took place, was largely left to the left-wing party La France Insoumise (LFI). #Frankreich #Politik #Gegenkultur #FR (translated)
The author asked whether anyone could rule out the entire EU political system being undone if Ukraine were abandoned by the US and European support proved insufficient. #Ukraine #EUPolitics #InternationalRelations #EU #US #UA
The author suggested that JD Vance may have had a point when he said in Munich that Europe faced threats from within as well as from Russia. #Europa #Seguridad #Política #DE #RU
The author questioned whether Europe could defend itself without U.S. support, saying the UK and France might be able to do so and expressing hope that Poland and the Nordic states could as well. They said they were less confident about the rest of Europe. #Europe #Defence #USsupport #EU #UK #FR #PL #NO
The author questioned whether Europe had become a “weak spot” and said this contradicted the EU’s talk of European sovereignty. #Europe #EUSovereignty #PoliticalDebate #EU #Europe
Bret Stephens wrote that right-wingers who viewed Putin as a defender of traditional European values should consider what he described as a regime’s willingness to lose 1,000 soldiers a day for a few additional yards of Ukrainian territory. https://t.co/DYL6pwuCLN #Putin #Ukraine #MilitaryTactics #UA #RU
The author framed the issue as one of European sovereignty, arguing that about ten years after the term became popular, Western Europe risked paying for Ukraine’s defence and reconstruction while Washington and Moscow profited from its energy market. #SouverainetéEuropéenne #Ukraine #Énergie #EU #US #RU
The author questioned whether Ukraine and Europe had many options left, saying the United States could stop providing intelligence the next day. They said the decision to grant an exception rested with Donald Trump, whom they described as erratic and narcissistic. #Ukraine #Europe #Trump #UA #EU #US
The author said Trump’s conduct was bad enough, but argued that Europe had never developed a viable strategy towards Russia and Ukraine. They said appeals to norms and values did not amount to a strategy, and that repeated talk about sovereignty did not achieve it. The author also praised an accompanying thread. #Trump #Russia #Ukraine #EU #RU #UA
The author questioned Gideon Rachman’s argument that Putin’s nuclear threats no longer worked, noting that Rachman had also acknowledged that the taboo against using nuclear weapons was not absolute. The author asked whether the resulting uncertainty was dangerous or nonexistent. https://t.co/F2DVEzjp31 #NuclearThreats #Putin #InternationalRelations #RU
There is no EU outside and beyond its member states. Europe will not save us. Only the nations of Europe can do that. #EU #Europe #NationStates #EU #Europe
This is not an argument in favour of destroying the EU. The argument is that more EUrope is not always the right answer. Poland illustrates that very well. Its economic success was greatly advanced by Europe, but also its ability to say no - staying outside the eurozone helped. #EU #Poland #Economy #EU #PL
