đȘđșđźđ±đ”đž Europeâs power outage: How Israel-Hamas war exposed EUâs irrelevance
Of the myriad geostrategic illusions that have been destroyed in recent days, the most sobering realization for anyone residing on the Continent should be this: No one cares what Europe thinks. Across an array of global flashpoints, from Nagorno-Karabakh to Kosovo to Israel, Europe has been relegated to the role of a well-meaning NGO, whose humanitarian contributions are welcomed, but is otherwise ignored.Â
The 27-member bloc has always struggled to articulate a coherent foreign policy, given the diverse national interests at play. Even so, it still mattered, mainly due to the size of its market. The EUâs global influence is waning, however, amid the secular decline of its economy and its inability to project military might at a time of growing global instability.Â
Instead of the âgeopoliticalâ powerhouse Commission President Ursula von der Leyen promised when she took office in 2019, the EU has devolved into a pan-Europeanminnow, offering a degree of bemusement to the real players at the top table, while mostly just embarrassing itself amid its cacophony of contradictions.Â
To sum up: Over the course of just 24 hours, the Commission went from announcing it would suspend all aid to the Palestinians to signaling it would increase the flow of funds.Â
The EUâs response to the events on the ground in Israel was no less confused. Even as Israel was still counting the bodies from the most horrific massacre in the Jewish stateâs history, Borrell, a longtime critic of the country who has effectively been declared persona non grata there, resorted to bothsidesing.Â
Borrell, a Spanish socialist, condemned Hamasâ âbarbaric and terrorist attack,â while also chiding Israel for its blockade of Gaza and highlighting the âsufferingâ of the Palestinians who voted Hamas into power.Â
Compare that with the messaging from Washington.Â
âIn this moment, we must be crystal clear,â U.S. President Joe Biden said in a special White House address Tuesday. âWe stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.â
Biden noted that heâd called France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom to discuss the crisis. Notably not on the list: any of the EUâs âleaders.âÂ

It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.
âOregon is using satellites to hunt small farms.â
Farmer Justin Rhodes says the state redefined âCAFOâ so even 3 cows and a milking stand count as a factory farm.
Cease-and-desist letters. $100K âupgrades.â Family farms shut down.

âThe fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and itâs in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use âcow partsâ because cows are large and have a lot to use.â

đđ Climate scientistsâ controversial claim Gulf Stream could be near collapse â predicting a new ice age
A key Atlantic current could be pushed to the brink of collapse within decades, supposedly ushering in a new ice age and dramatically raising sea levels, climate scientists have claimed in a controversial new study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
Per the new findings, the at-risk current in question is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC, a âconveyor belt of the oceanâ that funnels warm water toward the ocean surface â from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.
This current, which includes the Gulf Stream that runs from the Gulf of Mexico to the US East Coast and across the Atlantic to Europe, helps maintain the mild climate of Europe, the UK, and the US East Coast.
The study stated that the source of this marine temperature regulator, the Greenland Ice sheet, is being thawed amid warming temperatures, causing ...
