BREAKING: French President Emmanuel Macron has invited European leaders to an emergency summit in Paris tomorrow (Sunday) to respond to Trump and the situation in Ukraine.

Presumably will include the UK too.

if in doubt, the UK is here 👍

A century later, who will liberate US?

robertcpadilla.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good.

Europe should not sit back and contemplate their navels while Trump runs amok.

grinsel.bsky.social•7 days ago

spannend...

dirkvdberg68.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wrong move. Orban, Fico and Meloni will block every move.

nicodeamous.bsky.social•6 days ago

They could if this was an EU initiative but it is not (or doesn't appear to be).

This is an initiative by and for European leaders and there are no rules in place for vetoes or anything else at the moment.

Countries that do not support Ukraine or support Russia are not expected to join.

dirkvdberg68.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well, in that case Macron probably called for an informal meeting. Which has no power to make any step.

Is my assumption correct?

nicodeamous.bsky.social•6 days ago

I really cannot tell you.

What I write on here is simply my interpretation of things based on what I read and see

dirkvdberg68.bsky.social•6 days ago

Dutch public news just announced on the radio Macron has organized an informal meeting, and 8 countries told him and the media they will join him in the Elysee.

nstreichenberger.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump is lying to the American people.
He is Making Europe Great Again

didi9876.bsky.social•7 days ago

Starmer really does need to snap out of his romance with Trump and swing behind Europe.

tomhill.bsky.social•7 days ago

I agree that's the reality. From a diplomatic PoV though, Europe needs to buy time to rearm and Starmer's well placed to do help do that.

payteer.bsky.social•7 days ago

He is, but the UK is a dog's dinner after 14 years of the Tories, and he needs to play it very diplomatically. However, more than you know, the UK is leading loads in Ukraine.

locko8668.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, we'll be there. Macron wants us in the tent this time.

jukka-p-seppala.bsky.social•7 days ago

theanthonymark.bsky.social•7 days ago

Let’s hope the UK decides to be on the right side of history instead of continuing to suck up to Trump.

dontberuthless.bsky.social•7 days ago

My recommendation is don't use the orange felon's name. He loves attention, so don't give him any. Attention-seeking behaviour requires studied ignoring of the brat.

darkdaysusa-uk.bsky.social•7 days ago

There's going to come a time when Keir Starmer will have to jump down off the fence he's currently negotiating. Either go with tyrant Trump or partner up with the EU. The UK population is fairly decided with 83% anti Trump, so the decision shouldn't be too difficult, but then I'm not a politician.

newseye.bsky.social•7 days ago

UPDATE: Emergency summit of European leaders now likely to be held on MONDAY in Paris.

bbnotsonice71.bsky.social•6 days ago

Don't want to ruin anyone's weekend😏

goodjazzchords.bsky.social•7 days ago

Time for strong European leadership including the UK. Opportunity for Labour to out of necessity realign with Europe. We all know it's the right thing to do.

carolkilliney.bsky.social•7 days ago

I cannot believe the Americans have just betrayed the world.

oneoldster.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Americans have not. Trump and Musk have + all of Trump's weak ass Cabinet. America supports what you are doing.

carolkilliney.bsky.social•5 days ago

You’re correct, I should have said the administration. Nevertheless, Trump was voted in when it was clear what he was. If Americans wants to save themselves and the rest of the world from him, they should start treating this as a coup and react accordingly. And quickly!

elsnicol.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'm still reeling from the Vance tirade...😳😳😳

janeyk72.bsky.social•7 days ago

Will this include Starmer?

skunkplush.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why would they include the xenophobic shitheads of the UK government?

janeyk72.bsky.social•7 days ago

I take your point but one way or another we'll be involved/affected, I know which side I'd rather be on.

skunkplush.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’d rather be on the European side, too. But Starmer has already been making anti-Europe grumblings, despite a very magnanimous offer to re-join the European economic zone

janeyk72.bsky.social•7 days ago

I know, it's a mess. Who knows what's coming next.

beesboy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, he's invited.

janeyk72.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thanks.

The US has vacated its role as a world leader and defender of freedom. We're now just a powerful, uncooperative, and self serving bully.

antoniusbl.bsky.social•7 days ago

MAGA is going to learn the cold hard truth that the US needs the rest of the world more than they need us.

bbnotsonice71.bsky.social•6 days ago

They better realize the gravity of the situation

timnfeinstein.bsky.social•7 days ago

Federation on the table?

Europe Needs to align w Canada, Australia, Japan

fjolltraktor.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope it involves growing a pair. Europe can ill afford standing with their mouths gaping and eyes tearful like toddlers every time stepdad scolds them.

msshawnamarie.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope their education in history helps them decide to deal with this threat (because it IS) immediately and not to coddle Trump and Putin. F

jbmanitoba.bsky.social•7 days ago

Please don't forget us Canadians. We stand with Europe and Ukraine.

blue-eyedsamurai01.bsky.social•7 days ago

Do you speak French?

jbmanitoba.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oui. Je suis Francophone.

blue-eyedsamurai01.bsky.social•7 days ago

Geniale !

Né au centreville à Ottawa. Grandi à Vanier et maintenant au Manitoba depuis 1997.

blue-eyedsamurai01.bsky.social•7 days ago

What's the US vibe like in Ottawa these days? It's a tad stale my part of the woods.

I'm near Nottingham, UK. Was born here.

OK, Canada can go.

widderborste.bsky.social•7 days ago

Of course.

When was the date set for joining EU?

:)

jbmanitoba.bsky.social•7 days ago

Anytime please 😁

bachmarc.bsky.social•7 days ago

Time to discuss a EU membership of Canada.

Culturally, politically you are closer to Europe than Gilead, eh USA

pinkus11.bsky.social•7 days ago

Leave dufus snd musk out of it. DENIED

jupitess.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope PM Trudeau is still there, Canada already has troops training Ukrainian troops in an undisclosed location. I know Canada will continue to support Ukraine despite the bullshit that flows from Trumps ugly mug!

mdbdesgrauens.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good!

barrebarb.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m glad that someone is acknowledging the threat the U.S. poses. But, I hope that the European countries know that the majority of Americans do not support the actions taken by the current administration.

charlenescott.bsky.social•7 days ago

NATO needs to kick America out and stop buying anything from the US. The Trump Administration and Republicans in general cannot be trusted.

srr213.bsky.social•7 days ago

Same.

egoode.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hate to agree, but I agree.

slbobserver.bsky.social•7 days ago

Very well Macron. Time for action. EU must be firm...

happybeachvibes.bsky.social•7 days ago

We were just in Paris, the young ppl can’t stand Trump and think Americans are stupid for electing him, they also have NO desire to visit here under a Trump Presidency

lordflymo.bsky.social•7 days ago

Time to jettison the USA unfortunately.

antoniusbl.bsky.social•7 days ago

Pre-emptively kick the US out of NATO. If Trump complains, just tell him it isnt illegal if youre doing it to save democracy.

lordflymo.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think a more informal parallel alliance is more likely at first. The 'willing' European states and Canada. NOT the USA, Turkey, Hungary or Slovakia, for example.

Six or more countries in Europe are already right-winged/Russian controlled. I'm very skeptical.

jacksprat39.bsky.social•7 days ago

Shut out America! Our government is the definition of corrupt. The president is a tool of Putin and a threat to the entire world.

jenmn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Somehow this does not make me feel safe😢

jefffeldstein.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good, start to work together successfully despite the existence of Trump. Their best interests are not his.

jm64.bsky.social•7 days ago

Europe including the UK need to step up. Back Ukraine and tell Trump to go f*#k himself. Cut all political, economic and military ties with the US. We cannot trust or rely on this administration. Collectively we are all America’s markets and they need us far more than we need them. We’re on our own.

didi9876.bsky.social•6 days ago

It needs to be a clean break. Dissolve NATO, it has no credibility now, kick the Americans out of European and UK bases, ramp up spending on our military.

robertjsugden.bsky.social•7 days ago

💯

middlechild10.bsky.social•6 days ago

As an American I applaud this move. Half of our country is insane or oblivious and the rest of us are watching in horror.

chrisb64.bsky.social•7 days ago

We need to be there.
We need to wake up and quick.

marina11.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sehr gut 👍

antoniusbl.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Europeans and Canada should relieve the US of its NATO membership status on the grounds of irreconciable differences

elmjoe17.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good! THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!

usuallytactless.bsky.social•7 days ago

Can we send Ms Harris as the US shadow govt representative?

thisoldman52.bsky.social•7 days ago

Maybe it's time to wave good bye to prez musk's Amerika until he and his orange blob disappear

Painful for real Americans but maybe the only way for NATO to stay viable &even grow

middlechild10.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. I am completely prepared to go through pain to get to the other side of this nightmare.

spacexecadet.bsky.social•7 days ago

Interesting phrasing implication from News Eye. For clarity we remain a country with a European leader, just not an EU member state leader.

motoko99.bsky.social•7 days ago

This breaks my heart. America is a joke and our allies are being treated like garbage. Fuck Trump.

quallenchor.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes!!
Super🥺🥺💪💪💪- das ist dich jetzt offensichtlich *nötig*

@spdfraktion.de @gruene-bundestag.de @die-linke.de

almamartha17.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good Idea. The USA is no longer a friend of Europe.

margarethart2.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good. I hope they realize that many Americans are behind them. Many of us hate Trump and are appalled by what he is doing to our allies. Please protect yourselves and please help Ukraine.

hopskiprun.bsky.social•7 days ago

Except republicans till he lands on their doorstep & destroys them.

margarethart2.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sad, but probably true

Europe buy steel from Canada & we can cancel orders to USA.

hopskiprun.bsky.social•7 days ago

USA isn’t anyone’s friend any longer( other than Russia) not even neighbour Canada. I hope Canada refuses entry to him for G7 in Alberta. Felons can’t enter Canada & that’s by jury is what he is. No ifs/butts - stay home, Trump is a felon!

antoniusbl.bsky.social•7 days ago

He will probably send Musk and X if that happens
