The author described the situation as a transition from submission to humiliation. He claimed that the United States had pushed Europe to sever its energy ties with Russia, leading, in his view, to rising prices, deindustrialization, and the EU's dependence on the United States. He also wrote that Donald Trump was purchasing cheap Russian fuel to cope with the crisis in the United States. https://t.co/S2bnE835v0 #Énergie #Politique #Géopolitique #USA #EU #RU (translated)

The author believed that Europe needed to diversify its relations, which he deemed necessary and urgent in a rapidly changing world. He also called for enhancing its credibility by ending the "double standards" and stated that the European Parliament's resolution on China did not contribute to that. https://t.co/G9ORGWRii5 #Europe #RelationsInternationales #Politique #EU #CN (translated)

The author wrote that Members of the European Parliament received €8,772 net per month, with daily allowances potentially bringing the amount to around €13,000. They argued that halving the basic salary would be a small step towards bringing MEPs closer to the difficulties faced by many Europeans. https://t.co/6qIYcVQM2y #Europe #Politics #Economy #EU

The author indicated that a majority of the European Parliament had adopted the "AGILE" program, which he described as a diversion of 115 million euros towards disruptive weapons, notably those operating with artificial intelligence. He estimated that this amount could have financed civil protection, Canadair planes, and firefighters, and called for a review of priorities. #ParlementEuropéen #AGILE #Priorités #FR #EU (translated)

The post said a UN envoy had warned that disruption in the Strait of Hormuz risked a global food crisis, noting that the Gulf supplied 33% of fertilisers and that some African nations relied on it for up to 60%. It said MEP Marc Botenga blamed the US-led war on Iran and argued that EU governments shared responsibility because they had backed it. https://t.co/PbIgAt6vza #Hormuz #GlobalFoodCrisis #Fertilizers #AE #IR #US #EU #NG

The author said the US had started an illegal war against Iran, driving up energy prices before asking Europe to intervene. They accused Europe of first providing logistical support for the war and then using its own fuel reserves to offset what they called the damage caused by Donald Trump, describing Europe’s response as submissive. #USForeignPolicy #IranConflict #EnergyCrisis #US #IR #EU

The author accused the United States of launching an illegal war against Iran, driving up energy prices, and asking Europe to compensate for the consequences. He also claimed that Europe had facilitated the aggression before dutifully drawing from its reserves to cover the damage attributed to Donald Trump, and labeled it servile. #USA #Iran #Europe #US #IR #EU (translated)

EU Commission: "The Israeli government's decision to advance the illegal E1 settlement project is unacceptable." Israel, the very same day: announces plans to nearly triple E1's size. Time for a settlement trade ban, not another statement, @vonderleyen https://t.co/Mmv9JDEbyG #E1Settlement #Israel #EUCommission #EU #IL

UN Fact-Finding Mission: beyond the crimes during Iran's Jan. crackdown, there are grounds to believe the US committed war crimes in Iran. Will EU states that offered the US access to territory, infrastructure, and airspace turn out complicit in these? https://t.co/P80lV31RGC #Iran #WarCrimes #HumanRights #IR #US #EU

Silent on Saudi and UAE proxies in Yemen. Indulgent toward the US war on Iran. Absent from ongoing diplomatic initiatives. Von der Leyen's selective, ahistorical approach either signals Europe's growing irrelevance or reveals its submission to interests that aren't its own. #Europe #ForeignPolicy #MiddleEast #SA #AE #US #IR

Next week, the European Parliament will vote on the "Defence Omnibus" legislative package. In the name of simplification and defense, these laws will kill by dumping more forever chemicals and toxic substances into our water, soil, and air. We say no. https://t.co/4C3zJD7KYp #DefenceOmnibus #ToxicChemicals #EnvironmentalProtection #EU

Good talk with @MarwaLHC on Sudan and on how and why EU Member States still play a detrimental role in this horrible war. Spoiler: it's about resources, plunder and neocolonialism. The future of Africa will be decided in Africa. https://t.co/g3rid25tth #Sudan #Neocolonialism #Africa #SD #EU

L'impérialisme américain se confirme comme le plus grand danger pour la paix et la stabilité dans le monde. Plutôt que de vivre dans le déni, ou d'espérer en ramasser les miettes, l'Europe doit investir dans le multilatéralisme pour arrêter cette spirale. https://t.co/KdOVMxAosV #Impérialisme #Multilatéralisme #Paix #EU #US

Le commerce avec les colonies illégales israéliennes est lui-même illégal et devrait être interdit depuis des décennies. 12 pays envoient enfin ce signal. Le fruit d'années de lutte. Que la Commission🇪🇺 tienne parole et le propose au niveau européen. https://t.co/DrWduyRXtr #CommerceIllégal #ColoniesIsraéliennes #DroitsHumains #IL #EU

L'image insoutenable du corps écartelé de Wafa, 8 ans, circule partout. Une enfant massacrée hier à Gaza par l'armée israélienne, financée et armée par les États européens. Aujourd'hui, ces mêmes États se taisent. En offrant l'impunité à leurs alliés, ils enterrent l'humanité. #Gaza #JusticePourWafa #DroitsHumains #IL #EU

Ukraine : la perspective de négociations est une excellente nouvelle. Crise du gaz, hiver... un cessez-le-feu serait dans l'intérêt direct des Européens. Pourtant ce sont l'Inde et les USA qui sont à la manoeuvre. Que l'Europe sorte vite de sa logique unilatérale militaire. #Ukraine #Négociations #CessezLeFeu #UA #IN #US #EU

Les stocks de gaz au plus bas depuis 15 ans. Les prix battent des records. Des mesures urgentes s'imposent. La Commission doit présenter maintenant sa proposition de taxation des surprofits. La diplomatie européenne doit pousser Washington à arrêter sa guerre contre l'Iran. #Gaz #PrixDeLÉnergie #Surprofits #US #IR

Israel is annexing the West Bank. States need to ban trade with settlements. The Financial Times editorial board as well spells out EU and Member States minimal (legal) obligations. Today's meeting needs to address this. https://t.co/G6mJe1ivVn #Israel #WestBank #TradeSanctions #IL #EU

Hier soir, les États-Unis auraient donc frappé un mariage à Sirik, au sud de l'Iran. Parmi les victimes : un petit enfant. Où sont les condamnations européennes ? Les appels à une enquête ? Pourquoi détourner le regard face aux crimes de 'nos alliés'? https://t.co/Lq4qmOgQH1 #Sirik #DroitsHumains #Guerre #US #IR

The US wages an illegal war of aggression on Iran. EU citizens pay too, in rising energy costs. Yet, the EU pledges to work with the US to pressure... Iran. Including through "Operation Economic Outcast." We need diplomacy, not self-harming complicity. https://t.co/W85BNKWjbO #StopWar #DiplomacyFirst #NoSanctions #US #IR #EU
