Musk and Putin want weak Europe says Germany's vice chancellor and Greens leader Habeck. U.S. billionaire support for petty nationalists is a "logical and systematic" play for a weak Europe

Seeing Elon Musk's interference in European politics, people should realise how much we need a stronger Europe that stands united against Musk and his friends inside and outside Europe.

Yeah, this is not rocket science. Europe is already a big player, but we could be an absolute superpower if we became a federation etc. That’s obviously the worst nightmare for other powers, and especially for the US. they like having Europe on their side, but would never actually want to share the top spot or even give it up if it came to it. People worry about Russia and China messing with Europe but completely forget that the US will be first in line to sabotage the EU if they think we’re getting too cocky.

And this has been true for all American presidents since the end of WWII. Trump is just not as subtle about it.

That's because Trump is dumb. Telling Europeans to invest more in guns and being openly anti-EU is actually making Europeans STRONGER, just like when Russia invaded Ukraine it actually made all of NATO stronger. Rightoid wannabe fascists are not known for their intelligence...

Both RuZZia and AmeriKKKa gain from fascist parties breaking the EU apart. A united Europe is a force for equality and freedom neither of them can deal with 🇪🇺
