L’Europa dovrebbe resistere a Trump e Putin – invece li sta rispecchiando | Alberto Alemananno

More like find any reason to make reddit posts about trump on r/europe hour after hour, day after day, again and again and again and again…

Why should pre-fascists like Meloni or Orban not mirroring the Trump administration? Or to be correct, why should the Trump lunatics not mirror these countries?

They are anti-democratic and on the same team.

People start voting to the far right because they are increasingly concerned about immigration and the cost of living.

Far left journalists – Nooooo we need to ignore them!!! Otherwise we are like Trump or Putin.

Why do we keep on posting the bullshit that “The guardian ” publishes?

Stand up to trump how? For leaving you alone and minding his own business lol

They will write a strong worded letter.

That would require europeans to stop falling for the blatant right wing propaganda coming from these “dark maga” group of American and Russian fascists, but we’re very busy lying to ourselves and feeling superior while barreling down the same path as them.

The author is a professor of EU law, but it’s hard to take him seriously when he thinks that his policy preferences are the way to ensure the survival of the EU as the bastion of liberal constitutional democracy.

The biggest threat to EU survival today is internal: Euroskeptic parties are leading the polls in many countries, and the whole episode with Simion and Nawrocki should have made this clear enough. And let’s say we implement all his policy preferences that he thinks will save the EU, which include not reframing migration and asylum as a “security risk” and not conducting any immigration crackdown. Welcoming millions of refugees will make people like him clap, but people like him are in the minority in Europe. What is he going to do if Bardella wins in 2027?

He’s also clearly no geopolitician because he assumes that “From Helsinki to Lisbon, people are suddenly experiencing the same existential unease.” The reality is that even with regard to militarization, you have countries like Spain and Portugal who are very reluctant to spend even above 2% of the GDP because Russia is simply not going to roll all the way to the Pyrenees, and you have countries like Poland who have Russia right at the doorstep. With trade war, export-dependant countries with surplus with the US like Germany have much more to worry.

It’s also ironic that he talks about historic opportunity and not being paralysed, when it’s people like him who love to design institutions that are very difficult to change to safeguard things they like from any democratic change (like the right to asylum). If Europe takes a decisive step to solve the migration crisis, people like him will be the first to go to court to block it. And he talks about militarization but doesn’t talk about where the money should come from, if they decide to cut climate fundings, what is he going to say? European countries are already not coming to the rescue of the UN, who is in a severe liquidity crisis because the US withholds funds, because they need every penny to reach that 5% defense spending target without cutting their generous welfare system. Thankfully China isn’t interested in covering the rest either, because that will have significant impact on the institutions of the UN as a whole.

Lol eu is a giant American puppet state

Stand up to what? To Donnie actually following through on President Obama’s policy of ‘Pivot To Asia” announced in 2011?
Seems like Europeans are pretty self-absorbed and never bother to listen.
