Italy calls for 'immediate' summit between US, Europe following Zelensky-Trump clash
-
Which is probably why she's so keen to talk to Trump, who's also a fascist.
-
The USA absolutely cannot be trusted as an ally. If a war we're to break out right now I truly do not know what side I'd be on.
-
I couldn't agree more. I'm an outsider to Europe, unfortunately, and find myself as a Canadian increasingly seeing America in much the way Ukraine must have felt about Russia in 2010. Europe is the last hope for democracy and the rule of law in the world right now.
-
I hope we can greatly strengthen our relationship between the EU and Canada.
-
I know which side I’d be on, just not sure which side my government will be.
-
Same here my friend. Terrible times in the world, and the only way to survive such times is cooperation
-
This here so much. /a German

News flash: most countries have assholes in charge by now. Latest member to the club: us.

Meloni’s summit proposal is a reminder that Europe won’t sit quietly while sidelined by Washington.
-
How fucked is the world, when Meloni is the reasonable one...
-
I love reading about people not knowing the EU military industry writing about how it's somehow weak.
Newsflash: it's not. We don't talk or write about it 'cause it's sensitive data. We protect sensitive data.
Our armies may not be strong, but our military industry is. -
So strong it buys all relevant jets from the us.
So strong.
-
Your industries can't even supply artillery and basic equipment to Ukraine, at least nowhere at the level needed to win the war. This is well-known. European leaders have been harping on the need to upgrade capacities.
So, newsflash: sorry, your military industry isn't up to par yet. The potential is there. Many of the technologies are there. The actual support and capacity to make the most out of that potential is lacking.
This isn't in any way a controversial opinion. The reality on the ground with constant shortages and European leaders themselves acknowledging the military industry needs more support is well known.
-
And trump and his GOP friends aren't? The only difference is that Italian fascists can use the nostalgia card, so their rhetoric is clearer.
-
Wouldn't be surprised to see a headline saying that negotiation broke down too.
"Don't tell me how to feel. We're gonna feel great. You know what? I didn't hear a thank you from you. We're gonna put the world's biggliest Olive Garden right here in America's 53th state, how about that, Meloni?"
-
Newsflash: it's not.*
- As long as it's not made by the Brits.
(Looks accusingly at the SA80 / L85 platform... And the Challenger 2)

Europe's euro fighter jet is and was a very respectable fighter. With the shift towards stealth with the latest generation, it may be falling behind in key areas but still a good air craft. Developing a jet is a huge, huge undertaking and arguably Europe's resources could be spent better elsewhere rather than trying to develop an F35/F22 competitor.
Europe does have industrial and military capacity issues. This is well known and European leaders are among the quickest to point it out. No idea why the guy above wants to bury his head in the sand on that.
The biggest issues are arguably fragmentation and tepid political/societal support. Europe has various strengths but work is needed to make the most out of their potential.
-
Meloni probably wants to congratulate Trump.
-
Same in Slovenia when it comes to far right. They were drooling over Trump (our PM at the time even congratulated Trump on winning 2020 elections before the official results) and also painted themselves as biggest Ukraine supporters. Now I'm not sure where they stand and how they rationalize the situation, since I'm off X and Facebook.
