      I want a Europe that is strong and stands for European values.

      If the USA also follows those values we work together.

      If they don’t, we can do it without them.

      But only if we in Europe are united!

        European values.

        That’s a myth.
        There may be baseline values like, dunno, humanity, other than that you can’t have broad common values east to west north to south, countries are too different.

              I honestly don’t know how you can think Volt would support Trump’s illegal invasion of anything. Let me break it down piece by piece.

              You call Volt centrist, others call it radical. Volt may not be a traditional socialist or liberal party, but they are definitely not centrist on:

              • opposing fascism
              • regulating big tech, big agri and big oil
              • universal basic income
              • making innovative startups succeed in Europe
              • any progressive/conservative issues really
              • making Europe strong and independent

              Volt oppose the current increase in military spending, instead wanting a single big European Army instead of 27 small ones. Overall military spending in Europe was already OK, the reason we are not as strong as the US militarily is because 27 small armies are not the same as one big army.

              I don’t know what your opinion on these topics is, but it seems evident to me that in order to stand up against the USA, Russia and China, we need to have a military deterrent. If you consider that, or supporting Ukraine, militaristic, then I don’t mind you calling me militaristic.

              Volt has always opposed fascism in all its forms. AfD, Netanyahu, Trump, US Big Tech influence in Europe, etc. They will never support Trump illegally invading a sovereign country.

      Are you confusing military alliance with unions? Isn’t US essentially a union?

        Where are the strong political condemnations from the EU or economic sanctions to the US for the invasion of a foreign country?

          Are you seriously asking why EU sides with US instead of Maduro regime?

          So far I see only Russia, Iran and China defending Maduro.

            Colombia and Brazil are defending Maduro.

            And yes, I’m asking why Europe sides with the US in the glaringly illegal abduction of a foreign president

              People (note that I’m saying people, not whatever authoritarian figure you simp for) are celebrating this, from Brazil, to Colombia, and in Venezuela. Get a grip.

                  Then maybe obviously I meant it as “authority”, not “dictatorship”? What people want versus what the higher ups want. Police is also authority. That word has multiple definitions my dude. Context matters.
