I think we should start having a little discussion about how 'Sovereign Europe' as a concept needs a decent amount of industrial policy to get done.
Can't exactly laissez faire our way out of dependency in many key sectors.
We must (critically) support our national-minded neocon comrades in the struggle against rootless AIbros and runaway tech capitalists.

Congress may not be all powerful in the modern era but power of the purse is still huge
It seems there will indeed be a push in Q1 to increase American assistance to Ukraine again.
“Democratic aides in the Senate and House of Representatives told Reuters that beefing up assistance for Ukraine will be a top priority after the new Congress — with large Democratic majorities — is seated in January.”
…
“US presidents have extensive control over foreign policy and Trump has frequently disregarded Congress by governing via executive orders or ordering actions, such as the attacks that started the US-Israeli war with Iran, without seeking lawmakers' approval.”
“While that is not expected to change, opposition Democrats can use their congressional majorities to exert pressure.”
“The House and Senate can include provisions providing aid to Kyiv or imposing tougher sanctions on Russia in broader bills such as the National Defense Authorization Act setting Pentagon policy for the year, or budget measures seen as "must-pass" legislation.”

Nationalism is when I let Russians buttfuck my ass
Replying to @karolkarpinski
Nothing. There is nothing nationalist about Trump. He's a wannabe dictator kleptocrat who peddles resentment and racism to achieve power. People are seeing through it now.

I’m a lifelong republican. I voted for Trump 3 times.
But now with skyrocketing gas, rent, & groceries, I feel I was sold a lie.
They said no more wars; we’re at war.
They said $2/gallon gas; it’s $6.
So today, for the first time, I voted straight-ticket democrat.

@ZeodrakeV ohhh he's so much right.
In a more conservative country like Italy, aimless casseurism is just helping Meloni out and we've got polls evidence for that.
One year ago the peaceful massive Gaza demonstrations scared her shitless. She's chilling now.
Mise en garde de Patrick Boucheron : « La violence émeutière peut être émancipatrice, mais en situation pré-révolutionnaire. Or, je crains que nous soyons plutôt aujourd’hui en situation pré-autoritaire : le fond de l’air n’est pas rouge, il est brun. »

Modern Italian commies like Acerbo (Rifondazione Comunista) will boast about how the PCI was great because it moved away from Moscow and Stalinism, then proceed to be tankie themselves

VdL keeps using 'associate member' in spite of Council pressure.
Powerful
🛬 Touchdown in Montréal 🇨🇦
Rarely have I looked forward to a Summit this much.
An ocean separates Europe and Canada. Yet we have never felt closer.
We have a new ambition: bringing Canada closer to us than ever before, as Associate Member of the EU.
And we want to take our unique partnership even further.
With an Alliance for the Future, we will stand together and respond to a world of growing rivalries.
Montréal, we’re about to write a new chapter in our shared history.

Funnily enough 'dictator' is a loaded term nowadays but the original Latin was meant to describe a republican Roman emergency rulership position which was sometimes used in a developmentalist authoritarian style.

My worthwhile historians feed is intersecting with the wumao academics feed, thank you Mbappe you're the GOAT.
Incredible, jaw-dropping achievement in (willful, I imagine) stupidity.
"I wonder why China, an authoritarian regime that suppresses dissent, does not have museums decrying the founder of their regime and his legacy...which is them. It must be because he wasn't so bad."
