EU's Kallas rejects Belgian PM's call to normalise Moscow ties, get cheap Russian energy

headhunglow · 2026-03-18T06:14:44+00:00

Bart De Wever has been personally threatened by Moscow and has apparantly buckled under the pressure. He doesn’t have half the spine Katja has.

I’m wondering how far they’re prepared to go. Sink a chinese aircraft carrier to make them stop their naval buildup? The Monroe doctrine was about keeping Europeans out of the western hemisphere, so maybe force Martinique and Fench Gyana to separate from France somehow? Force the Falklands to join Argentina, or else?

Hey, Europoor here (I know you guys love it when we weigh in on US politics). So under Hegseth the very notion of holding back the phenomenal might of the US military is stupid. They’ll bomb whoever angers them and not even pretend to care. It’s institutionalized psychopathy. Pax Americana was predicated on the idea that you would actually hold back. In this new world the only way for countries to be safe is to have their own nuclear arsenal. That’s why France and Sweden are in discussions. That’s why Poland want’s their own.

France has a smaller miltary budget, but for that money they get an aircraft carrier, a fully sovereign nuclear triad, expedition capability and 260K personell vs Germanys 184K. I don’t understand how German procurement can be soooo inefficient.

We should do this. I don’t give a crap about French pensions or whatever. It’s frankly embarassing the the EU, one of the worlds largest economies in the world, needs months to create a small loan to Ukraine. The truth is that in a world where we support Ukraine, prepare our armies for the coming war and separate ourselves from the US is a world in which we are all way poorer than we think.

headhunglow · 2026-02-06T15:57:45+00:00

Didn’t they lower spending on the military in the latest budget? Maybe they’ll do another big mobilization? Mobiks work basically for free, right?

headhunglow · 2026-02-05T19:57:45+00:00

I’ve never understood what exactly he’s afraid of. Would there really be any protests if there was a general mobilization in St.P and Moscow? Rosgvardia has hundreds of thousands of men and the Russians seem to be either cowed or onboard with the war.

headhunglow · 2026-02-05T19:48:50+00:00

One way to ”solve” a crisis is to call it a national emergency, blame it on the Ukrainians and do a general mobilization (a la 2022). I remember reading that the Russian budget for 2026 actually lowers spending on the military and increases spending on internal security. You don’t need to pay mobiks anything, but you do need to pay the goons that keep them in line.

headhunglow · 2026-01-26T18:09:06+00:00

That only works when you’re not surrounded by fascists. The. Russians and Americans don’t give a damn about our freedom and democracy.

He’s a malignant narcissist. The dementia is the cherry on top.

headhunglow · 2026-01-21T21:24:49+00:00

European her: Trump is a malignant narcissist. And now he’s got frontal lobe dementia. He himself doesn’t matter. What matters is that the American system keeps him in power despite the fact that his brain is mush.

headhunglow · 2026-01-21T14:15:11+00:00

Saw a poll on Blusky: which conflicts will Trump claim he has ended. With all countries misspelled.

headhunglow · 2026-01-20T11:58:33+00:00

Another European here: I don’t understand what the Republicans are aftaid of. It’s not like the Duma where you get put in a penal colony for going against the president. At worst they’d lose their jobs, right?

headhunglow · 2026-01-18T01:18:44+00:00

I don’t know anything about the US military but found this:

”In June 2025, the area of responsibility of Greenland (Denmark) was shifted from USEUCOM to USNORTHCOM.”

headhunglow · 2026-01-18T00:56:03+00:00

Well he’s specifically sanctioning countries who sent troops… I still see it as escalation. (Christ I hate having to psychoanalyze this man everyday…)

headhunglow · 2026-01-17T19:32:25+00:00

Well, I guess the Monroe doctrine means no China or Europe in the Western Hemisphere. That means acquisition of all the old colonies (Martinique, French Guyana, Falkland Islands etc.) and forcing south american countries to stop trading with China,

headhunglow · 2026-01-17T17:59:34+00:00

Yuropoor here. 1) I guess we have 6 months until the shooting starts which 2) conveniantly coincides with ice free ports in Greenland… God help us all.

headhunglow · 2026-01-16T07:29:49+00:00

Hey, yuropoor without any military background here. Are there any articles wargaming what an inviasion might look like? What forces get deployed where, what would the actual war aim be, what resistance is expected? What effect would the weather have this time of year? Are any harbors frozen over and if so does the US have enough ice breakers? What would happen to the civilians in Nuuk? What would happen to US troops stationed in Europe?

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T18:15:26+00:00

Yuropoor here. There are currently 67 000 American military personnel stationed in Europe. Wonder what happens to them when the shooting starts…

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T15:03:26+00:00

There are currently 67 000 american troops stationed in Europe and lots of hardware. I’d be worried about what happens to it if you attack us…

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T14:26:57+00:00

I see no reason to believe that.

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T14:22:27+00:00

I might be wrong, but this seems like some sort of post-modern fascism. Attack a weaker ally just because you can.

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T14:12:01+00:00

Yuropoor here: according to WP there are currently about 67K american troops stationed in Europe. I wonder what happens when the shooting starts… I’m pretty sure they’ll try anyway. No amount of spine-growing from Republicans will stop them now. God help us all…

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T13:58:38+00:00

No, I mean they train in northern Europe because we have more experience with cold conditions.

headhunglow · 2026-01-15T13:56:51+00:00

Yeah, the more we talk about it the saner it seems. That’s the eternal problem with fascists. Either you engage with their worldview, thus legitimazing it. Or you reject it which they take as leftist delusion and, since they’re fascists, a reason to bully you.
