European Council President António Costa rejected any attempt at „political interference“ in response to a controversial US government document published last week calling on Europe to change course or face „civilisational erasure“.
Speaking at a conference in Paris on Monday, Costa said Washington does not get to choose on behalf of European citizens which policies are right or who they should vote for, in the strongest rebuff to date from a sitting EU official to the Trump administration.
His comment comes after the US updated its National Security Strategy, calling on Europe to revert course and praising „patriotic European parties“ resisting Brussels‘ policies.
I agree. I think almost everyone agrees. But still – fuck this guy. He was one of the worst politicians in the history of Portugal – an now he’s head of the European Council. The EU should pick their politicians more wisely.
I don’t disagree but what exactly do they plan to do?
Well in reality it will. Because there’s no chance EU would do shit to stop disinformation and propaganda, because there’s nothing neolibs fear more than being accused of „censorship“
OP is an automated account and far from being the only one in this sub
Actually its from Russia and Israel. The US is just the scapegoat and doesn‘t realize it yet.
Ah! The famous strongly worded letter from Europe!
Well. I am Not sure they care what we accept?
The nerd said to the bully: „I won’t accept you beating me up and stealing my lunch money.“
They’re gonna have to find a way to reduce US media and social media influence then. Particularly from the US oligarchs.
IF THE US CONTINEUS DOING THIS SHIT, WE SHOULD START INTERFEREING IN THEIR AFFAIRS
It’s not about what we accept . It’s about what we are (or aren’t) going to do about it .
The reason why Trump administration is fixated on Europe remaining „traditional“ is that Europe is an identity anchor for white americans, an ancestral home of sorts. They want Europe to be a quaint museum where they can heal the feeling of rootlessness in american individualistic hyper-capitalistic society.
They want the old world to remain as the old world to contrast their mythologically dynamic country that is in practice very conservative. The „melting pot“ and „anyone can be an american“ mythos only works if the outside world is deeply nationalistic. This is why they hate EU. EU represents same values as the US mythos, but is actually more structurally capable of delivering the freedom and tolerance. Americans subconsciously fear someday being just a country, rather than „the shining city on the hill“ their founding myths portray the country as.
