When I hear of an organization like The Defense of Democracy or the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, it makes me want to vomit. ALL of these organizations have absolutely nothing to do with democracy. They have everything to do with capitalism and making sure the top 1% controls the world.

Wow! It's almost exactly the same as our "support" of democratic institutions in Armenia, Georgia, Moldavia, etc...

Techno music originated in the USA within the African American community, Germany copied that culture and embraced it, does this mean African Americans and Germans share common cultural heritage? NO!!!

Lol, If MAGA folks are influencing European elections, they are not doing a very good job. US left is better at doing it, MAGA needs to learn how they did it in Ukraine😂

America is just afraid of the EU

The EU is already promoting foreign influence over its domestic policies by allowing large-scale (illegal) immigration, effectively reshaping the electorate to its advantage. 👍

The would be dictators and krypto cleptocrats like the ones from US now tell us about liberties and "freedom" ? Freedom for them to do everything without impunity. See their "freedom" attacks on international courts like ICC.

The US are becoming a theocratic dictatorship and they behave accordingly. Of course, they don't respect our European souvereignty.

Have you talked to all the visiting athletes from around the world that played in America for the world cup? They ALL loved it. Couldn't believe water was free! They brought back Ranch dressing. Ate Fast food and loved it. The vastness of land . How many places are nothing like the European media claimed.

We all know, there are forces outside Europe, which want divided Europe, as they don't want have to listen, what we want. We all know Russia is doing it, we suspect China, and I would expect USA to do same, as united voice from Europe would hamper their "reign" in world. Europeans we need to talk for ourselves and make world listen to our voice. I do not want Europe to dictate others what to do, but being heard isn't dictate.

USA and Russia supports the same Far-right movements in Europe to divide Europe and EU.

It is not MAGA, but Israel, that hides behind MAGA and exploits its narrative of victimhood to justify genocide, displacement, and land theft, while Europe continues to do business with war criminals such as Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Katz, and Smotrich.

Morning, June! Definitely a lot to chew on before caffeine kicks in, but it feels like we're just getting started with the chaos.

Good morning, everyone. Settling in with my tea and thinking about how complex these international ripples really are. The shift in how Washington influences European politics is quite a lot to process first thing. Do you feel these changes are hitting home, or does it feel far away?

The US/EU were never altruist, and their currencies are their means of power.

Do you think Washington is trying to influence European politics – or is this just a new style of diplomatic engagement? What do you see as the biggest risk for European democracy?

This is flat out hostile activity towards every single EU member.
Look at how their meddling in the UK that brought about Brexit ended up
They're trying to shatter the union to turn us into an exploited colony because they know that if we fully integrate we will be stronger than them.
