European 🇪🇺
What’s going on is global. It’s not about nations anymore.
This. And it’s all about who is in control, it’s always been. And the current “disharmony” has deliberately been created for that purpose imo. It’s the "old settlers nomad dichotomy " repacked & remodeled to invoke fears.
Doesn’t make the threat less real though, just saying. The enemy within, the enemy without.
@ Op always use the link title . Don’t alter it.
I mean they haven’t done anything yet. It’s what I understood, what could be a benefit of issuing bonds together. That’s why the Nordic have problems with the Euro bonds ( theoretical a liability) and Southern countries less issues, as they win more.
Like, 2007 crash levels of shady??
unlike 2007 they have colatoral & garantuee.
Though in spirit I get your idea. It’s not the same as when EU itself is issuing bonds to get credit for common EU projects.
There is a difference as countries have different ( like AAAA of A-) loan ratings. Also the ETF now is probably a mix of country baskets with several ratings, banks and end timesa and prices.
When Eurobonds are issued, the EU will use the highest European status and thus loan money for less interest. And basically be of highest quality and reliability. This will cut costs and be more effective to get public/private money for things like common energy hubs, telecom, infrastructure and defence.
I think we are talking about different things. Many European online and card payments in Europe run via Visa/ Mastercard In USA.
Weru by the EPI, is a new internal payment system in Europe for payments by Europeans which is being rolled out in many EU contries, without visa Mastercard payment settlements.
A tourist can always pay with Visa/ Mastercard in Europe or USA. That’s another matter. Wiithin Europe for Europeans that won’t no longer be necessary
I just edited my comment for clarity.
visa of mastercard.
If I understand correctly that will be all phased out. #e quote
Isn’t that what WERU is all about; "The service competes with PayPal, credit cards and similar services. "?
Ozempic…
Denmark has great cards against Trump.
I wonder how it happens that after realeasing these Epstein files II, everyone but Trump gets investigated. I mean, I don’t think anyone mentioned is innocent, but it does strike me that this release seem to target (some of) Trump’s enemies, while he still remains in office. More specifically in casu, it’s about a Norwegian Socialist, Council of Europe, Nobelprize? Maybe I’m just rambling.
He was also in the Board of Cambridge Analytica.
fealty to be able to be a traitor I would say.
Yes, legally being a traitor is another matter, and very complex. It’s a rabbit hole. Thankfully, you know what I mean though.
And even if he legally was a a traitor, considering the current US Admin and his immense wealth, he’d probably never go to court. Justice isn’t blind.
(* sorry But…) by involving himself with far-right he’s a traitor to American & European democracies. By choosing money instead of lives, he’s a traitor to humanity and morality.
*Ed: sry my 1st response was perhaps a bit strong. I really dislike Musk.
As if Musk couldn’t have done that from day one, fucking traitor.
Sounds though like a political crusade.
"Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court, however, ruled that this trial should not have taken place in Hungary, referring to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (EU) and the associated ban on inhumane treatment.
The court ruled that insufficient checks had been made before T.'s extradition to ensure that the conditions of their detention in Hungary would be humane — especially in light of the fact that Maja T. identifies as non-binary.

Imo we need t watch out not to be dragged into their lunacy. Simultaneously, (foreign) actors continuously try to erode (European) democracy within and without. We need to protect our democratic institutions & human rights in a way that doesn’t entail loosing those same core values we want to protect. Thats a tight line to walk,so we all must remain vigilant, and not take anything for granted.
It’s much older. Fascism comes from Fasces. The Roman civilisation thrived with it.
The fasces, as a bundle of rods with an axe, was a grouping of all the equipment needed to inflict corporal or capital punishment. In ancient Rome, the bundle was a material symbol of a Roman magistrate’s full civil and military power, known as imperium. They were carried in a procession with a magistrate by lictors, who carried the fasces and, at times, used the birch rods as punishment to enforce obedience with magisterial commands.
=> i.e later the Blackshirts, Brownshirts, mafia, ICE etc.
All Mussolini, Hitler (and in a similar fashion Stalin & Mao) plus many many others did was copy paste this concept. It’s in our DNA That’s why it’s so dangerous.
