    After screeching for 4 years straight about Russia’s unprovoked all out invasion, that’s certainly an interesting position to take.

      No? They were always more concerned with the races of participants in war, they never gave a shit about the existence of war itself. As soon as Russia invaded they jumped at the chance to say they’re Asiatic orcish barbarians and were more concerned with people potentially mistaking Russians for whites (asserting that Ukraine is unambiguously white and Russia are unambiguously not, remember that “this really makes me sad because we’re seeing blond hair blue eyed people getting attacked for the first time in ages” line some EU representative said?). Of course they would uncriticaly support whites killing brown people. White makes right.

      Look at their response to the US attacks on Venezuela or the unproven drug boats, or starving of Cuba, or Israeli attacks on Palestine.

    Yep all European takes when America or Israel do something blatantly power grabbing and illegal (as if that matters) are wishy wishy statements that end up supporting the blatant imperialism.

    Did not expect anything else from Frau Genocide or our pathetic European leaders. Glad that Francesca Albanese’s position is more popular. Who exactly do these invertebrates in the EU parliament represent? Because it’s clearly not the people.

    I think we should start a public call for sculptors for the statue that will have to be made of Francesca Albanese.

    On Saturday, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said the United States is acting outside international law following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran. He also expressed hope that the situation will calm down so that a negotiated solution to the conflict can be pursued. “Right now, we are seeing that the United States is operating largely outside traditional international law,” Stubb said on Finland’s state television network YLE. According to Stubb, before carrying out attacks of this kind, Washington had typically sought approval from the United Nations or, at the very least, from its NATO allies — something that has not happened this time. “Now there has not been much consultation. There was no consultation in Venezuela, there was no consultation earlier during the 12-day war (between Israel and Iran in June 2025), nor has there been consultation now on this issue,” the Finnish president said. In his view, the attack by U.S. and Israeli forces on Iran demonstrates the transformation taking place in the global political landscape and in the international order. “When international institutions and norms are not respected, a power vacuum is created that makes this kind of attack possible,” Stubb said.

    “-- is not leadership: it’s escalation”

    You know what I hate with a passion? AI speak.

        I’m pretty sure “it’s not a; it’s b” is not specifically EU speak but it is something ChatGPT loves to overuse and it’s a great litmus test to spot the rot

      I hate that proper syntax is now somehow AI speak.

      I think Francesca Albanese is just a reader. Readers tend to know how to write.

        That’s probably exactly why AI speaks like that, since it’s been trained on troves of literature. It’s a common structure so it adopted it to repeat ad nauseum.

          Yes, but it also helps the reader. There’s a reason why literature is written in that way.
