Musk, Meloni, and the AfD

The president-elect’s plan for reorganizing EU Vassals comes into focus.

Europe and Canada have kicked out their left leaning leaders.
The fact that European voters are increasingly choosing candidates that are opposed to Project Ukraine and favor better ties with Russia

And new elected leaders could also make it more difficult for the EU and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to use “tools” to browbeat governments into submission on the question of Russia

And yet one key question remains: will we see a marked difference in the vassalage to the US or simply more of an alignment with the incoming Trump administration?

I’m not sure the anti-globalist label applies all that well to the political parties making waves in Europe, which are not, after all, opposed to global capital, transatlanticism, or the EU.

They are largely a response to the Europe-wide economic downturn driven largely by the disastrous war against Russia. And years of rising immigration combined with low economic growth and austerity have predictably led to improved polling for candidates who are opposed, in theory, to immigration.

I suppose we must await the results of the new elections in France, Germany, & Canada.

Anyone think there will not be interference in the Canadian elections, from their south?

Hey! That’s ok from the “Exceptional” nation. It is only a problem when it occurs in the USA. Of course, Israel gets a pass.

Possibly, though I think their election laws and rules, especially campaign finance laws, make such less likely.

The EU right is not the US’s right.

Climate change and universal care will remain as popular issues.

Same with Canada who may put another liberal in.

The issues in Central Europe is lowering taxes. They are getting supply side economics. They are becoming militaristic. The industrial military complex coming to Central Europe. Ring a bell? That power will be used in Ukraine.

The US is doing a retrenching maneuver against China. Other over the next 20 years we will have more universal government policies. We have demand side economics.
