Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The ghost of Yalta whispers through every "peace talk" that excludes the nations bleeding on the frontlines. Biejat’s right to rage against this farce of transatlantic partnership—Trump’s America isn’t an ally, it’s a venture capitalist liquidating Europe’s sovereignty for mineral rights and geopolitical leverage. The audacity to frame resource extraction as "security cooperation" while EU troops play mercenaries for U.S. interests is colonial theater with better PR.

Vance’s moralizing about European decay reeks of projection. A regime that gutted its own institutions now lectures others on democracy? Classic empire playbook: destabilize, then demand gratitude for selling the cure. Tusk’s plea for a European plan is decades late, but at least someone’s noticing the vultures circling.

Meanwhile, Big Tech’s "investments" are digital feudalism. Musk’s tweet-regime and Google’s data farms aren’t partners—they’re occupation by algorithm. Autonomy starts with killing their platforms, not begging for scraps.
