America, as a liberal empire, is no more. Welcome to a new era of US governance by oligarchy, where billionaire members of Mar-a-Lago decide US policy. And guess what? Protecting the European Union or the living standards of Europeans is not on their priority list! They don't care about post-1945 Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall, EU enlargement, our single currency. The expermiental steps we have made, away from our imperial past. These are far away things that mean nothing to them. Who will defend Europe? We are completely unprepared for this feral new world. Remember the 🇪🇺 is an experiment & has no automatic right to exist. It needs to be nurtured. Pro-Europeans will have to stand up and fight for something more than the EU we have today. A real Union, that protects, brings prosperity & stands up for its citizens in this new world. Trump will bring big change, but such historic moments can be opportunities as well. Choose activism over despair. Raise money for Ukraine, join a political party, stand for election. All of us individually as pro - europeans can make a small change to define our own future.

Russian attempts to corrupt European democracies reach such a level that elections have to be cancelled. This fast becomes a national and European security issue. Are current EU laws on top of this, or have they failed us? theguardian.com/world/2024/d…
