Interesting thing is that minutes after uploading thr Russian bots appear like always shaping the narrative and perception.

Large western social media corporations should be made responsible for the fake landscape they created every bot found 5000€ fine..

They make it just too easy for them and pretend they can't do anything better keep empty user shells to create numbers.

The worst part is, there's a kernel of truth in their observation of the state of Europe. Nevertheless, this strategy is hostile in nature, regardless of all its protestations to the contrary. America explicitly reserves the right to interfere in European affairs and vows to offer aid to those who would resist all national and supranational systems in Europe which it has deemed undesirable.

it is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest,
certain NATO members will become majority non-European. As such, it is an open
question whether they will view their place in the world, or their alliance with the
United States, in the same way as those who signed the NATO charter.

Ok. but US will have it the same. non-hispanic whites will become a minority of the total US population around 2045

Trump: Migration will make European culture disappear

Donald Trump believes that the migration policies of many European countries will lead to the decline and eventual disappearance of European civilization. His ideas were shared in an official document.


“It is more than likely that in a few decades, at most, some NATO members will become majority non-European.” This is how Donald Trump envisions the future of Europe, according to a 33-page document released last night detailing the Republican administration’s international strategy.


The report, signed by the President of the United States of America, blames the European Union (EU) and its migration policies for the imminent total devaluation of the culture of the old continent. Although it acknowledges that Europeans face economic problems, the White House argues that these are “eclipsed by the real and more striking prospect of civilizational disappearance.” “Americans have grown used to thinking of Europe’s problems in terms of low military investment and economic stagnation. There is some truth to that, but Europe’s real problems run deeper.”
