France surrendering to Nazi's 🤔 Now where I seen that before. 🥴 And Italy 🫢

marty10.bsky.social•13 hours ago

How is France surrendering?
How about proRussian Orban of Hungary & Other countries that oppose funding for Ukraine?

d0ntusethisnick.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Hungary and Slovakia(and I am from Slovakia) should have no word to this. We just take from EU. Since our prime minister Putin bootlicker Fico is so much cheering for Trump, big nations in EU and leaders must learn to talk with him how he likes. "STFU Fico and do what is right or GTFO. Your choice."

And exactly nobody is surprised. The north plus Poland, the UK and the Netherlands are the ones who seem to understand what we are up against. I am happy if the others sit still and don’t break things.

Typical Predictable European Insignificance

We need another way to help Ukraine than through the dysfunctional EU

ristox.bsky.social•13 hours ago

We need to start giving military and other aid not through EU. Every country chips in individually so to speak. I don't care what loophole you need or bureaucratic trick, just make it happen. And those two countries (Slovakia & Hungary) can be left out.

jandit.bsky.social•13 hours ago

No tricks and loopholes needed. There is no EU law preventing sending arms and aid to Ukraine direct. A lot of countries already do. You can check https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/ and scroll down to "Government support to Ukraine: By donor country GDP, incl. and excl. EU share"

ristox.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Obviously I'm talking about this aid what got denied and everyone of these what are getting blocked in the future also. I'm totally aware the military aid what my country is sending for example, have done posts about those myself. Every aid those two try to deny, we just find away to do it anyway.

Macron with all his tough talk.. blablabla blerghl... Shameful.

marty10.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Did Macron know Orban & others would reject the equipment for Ukraine?

perknottentott.bsky.social•13 hours ago

France & Italy are slowing down a €20B aid package for Ukraine, citing budget constraints & diplomatic concerns, article says. On the topic of Orban, of course they know in advence that this will happen

I think Germany needs to sort out their elections first. Give it a week. But start processing the stuff already cleared.

confusion of priorities.. an old EU disease...

What key EU players?

steve36893.bsky.social•14 hours ago

They need to help Ukraine. Fuck Russia.

Hungary and Slovakia?? Who gives a damn about these two hellholes?? Ignore them and do it anyway FFS. These two countries are run by russian puppets!

Macron, all talk and no action, when the talking stops the emergency ends?

Crimea is Ukraine!!!

dampel.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I'm guessing there's a bit more to it than what is being reported in the German press

ristox.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Hungary & Slovakia being key EU players is joke by itself. It would be funny if this was not so serious.

mjoelnir.bsky.social•13 hours ago

And thats why EU wont be able to organize an army (or much else).

EU is only good for fixed plastic lids and cars that mandatory beep at the driver for whatever it (also wrongfully) believe is wrong in the driving.

They can factor in 10x cost with this hesitance.

pallacium.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Wait, what?
Fuck, seriously, this bastard just came out of his TikTok live 2 days ago to tell us, the French, that we need to go further and help Ukraine, and now there's this?

Fuck him if it's true.
But it's a German source and we know them well on that front... we can never trust them 100%.

guidosarducci.bsky.social•12 hours ago

This is an unexpected development. What's going on?

"For as long as it takes" was always a crock of shit.

Every country in EU should team together to prevent Zelensky signing the outrageous minerals deal presented by the despicable mob Trump and its cronies enablers. Anyway, Donne said that Zelensky is not " legitimate " since no elections Therefore, the signature is no good !!!

debwallace.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Europe will eventually have to spend money on its own defense. Now or after Russian tanks roll into the eastern flank countries. I am excited to see the pouch to Warsaw in 3 days🤯

pericles261.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Translation we talk big but deliver smaller. Yup who needs the US.😉

allymac18.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Just ignore Hungary and Slovakia 2 completely irrelevant countries. Just send it from your own countries stop pretending you need European approval.

oriel449.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Today it's Hungary and Slovakia but tomorrow it could be Germany and then France. The pro-Ru far right is on the march across the West and we need to be ready for this likely outcome.

stoedukraina.bsky.social•14 hours ago

We are so busy squabbling among ourselves that we ignore the potentially existential threat we are facing.

Here we go again, European politicians at their finest.

The small countries and the Latins will never go to war over Ukraine. They like NATO protection but not any real risk.

subreman.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Ironically the Baltics are the biggest contributors to Ukraine by GDP%, larger European nations (especially Italy and Spain) have just given Ukraine a massive middle finger

lucyfayre.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Terrible decision. And big mistake if not reversed.

isaacxcii.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The "great leaders" Macron and Meloni 😂

mervman56.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Are we seriously going here again ? Endless lame excuses. So much conflicting information going around now that it might be better to wait and see, rather than give in to frustration, disappointment and anger.
Heroyam slava !

The EU will never be free or respected while they allow Orban and Fico to remain in place as the smirking bearers of russian interference.

lolmao500.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Yup, their heads should be separated from their bodies. You're part of the EU and NATO, if your leader is sucking putin's dick, you better prepare to die... should be the policy. Orban and Fico should be dead. Today.

ca4ua.bsky.social•4 hours ago

No, just removed from any position to interfere with the free world.
