They said the same thing about each package of sanctions, they were equally enthusiastic about each one, and each one was supposed to crush Russia. This is the sixteenth. Sanctions do not work the way the sanctioners would like them to because economic interests are always stronger than the orders of the commissioner. That's just the way it is, whether anyone likes it or not. EU bureaucrats are the definition of insanity - repeating the same mistake countless times and expecting a different result each time. #sanctions #EU #bureaucrats #Russia #Ukraine #war

It's nice to see how upset the EU leadership is about the possibility that the war in Ukraine could soon be over. #Ukraine #war #EU

Nothing kills you faster than your own mind. Don't stress over things that are out of your control.

It's not easier for others, nor are others happier! I know this is hard for most to understand, but let's learn to be grateful for what we have, no matter how much or how little it seems to us. And let's enjoy it every day. Everything that needs to come to us, will come. We just need to learn patience. And daily gratitude is key to happiness and inviting all the good things into life. And let's never envy others, because the outside is almost never an indicator of the true state and the brutal truth, and believe that everyone carries their own cross. We live our lives because everyone else is already busy, but considering that we have so much work to do on ourselves, I really don't know how we would have time for anyone else's lives... #gratefulness #patience #gratitude #happiness #life #mindfulness #Bitcoin

There is no shame in not knowing some things. But there is shame when a person has the opportunity and does not want to learn. Never before has so much knowledge been available and most of it is free. Technology is advancing at an alarming rate and by 2030 this world will look completely different than it does now. Anyone who does not have basic knowledge of how to use technology, financial literacy and independence from the system will be in big trouble... #knowledge #Technology #finance #AI

Who said there is no gold?!

A few days after JD Vance called out Europe for abolishing freedom of speech, which caused a German politician to cry in tears, the same Germany arrested 15 people for insulting politicians Namely, it is illegal to insult politicians, and if you call someone an 'imbecile' or 'fat' - they will take your phone and you will go to jail until you pay 4000 euros 'Speech has limits, there is no freedom of speech' say legislators 🥸 #Germany #EU #freedomofspeech

Macron invited 0 representatives from Eastern Europe to his "anti-meeting" (anti because he is in defiance of Trump). So he complains that Trump doesn't give a damn about him, but he does the same to EU members. He won't even ask Poland and Slovakia, who are closest to the conflicts, anything. And what will he conclude? Definitely NO! He will not impose peace on us! We do not agree! #Macron #Trump #EU #Ukraine

Exactly...

I follow the German political scene as much as I can and I am more and more certain of one thing: AfD is not an extreme party. It is a party with which I will disagree on some things, but it is not extreme, especially if we consider the Left - a parliamentary party that openly calls for the banning of millionaires and the Greens who shut down nuclear power plants without any reasonable reason. Apart from them, AfD is not an extremist party. Why do journalists call only right-wing parties extreme, and not the Greens, even though the latter have much more extreme and dangerous policies, that is a real question. I think the answer is because journalists are mostly radical leftists. From their perspective, the right is extreme, and the left is not. That's it. #AfD #Germany #Grüne #media

Jewish newspaper in Germany supported AfD. Journalists often write about the AfD as an "anti-Semitic" party, but I have yet to come across any real basis for such a label. AfD demands the deportation of Muslim asylum seekers, and German Jews see them as the greatest threat, especially after the escalation of the conflict in Israel. So the support of German Jews to the AfD is quite logical. Of course, the media doesn't want you to know this. #Germany #AfD #media #Muslims #asylum #Jews #Israel

The relationship between the US and the EU is like that of a manipulative parent and a spoiled, insecure child. The parent has instilled all the bad habits in his child, achieved his own ambitions through him, imposed his lifestyle on him, but also threatens to kick him out of the family home "if he doesn't get his shit together." It's time for him to grow up, even though he's not allowed to grow up. The child is already old enough, has some school, is ready for an independent life and constantly shouts that he's going to leave, but he likes it when someone else cleans up after him and is aware that there won't be money for avocados, whey protein and 20 subscriptions to streaming services if he has to pay rent and a car on his own. They still live in the same house, but the relationship is definitely not healthy. #US #EU

There is no need to be anybody but oneself.

Who is the better poet, the White House or the European Central Bank? 🤣

Your terrible job is the dream of the unemployed. Your house is the dream of the homeless. Your smile is the dream of the depressed. Your health is the dream of the ill. Don't let difficult times make you forget your blessings. #mindfulness #life

The five best pieces of advice I got from friends: 1. Fuck it 2. It is what it is 3. It will be better 4. What can you do 5. Don't know what to tell you None of the above helped 😁

I don't know if people are aware of this, but the world order that has prevailed since WW2 has been destroyed. With his moves and statements, Trump has made it clear that the rules that have been in place so far no longer apply to the world's greatest power, such as the fact that the borders of nation states cannot be changed by force. The only thing that has kept that order alive all these years has been the US government. Many world players could hardly wait for the US to give up on it, and what awaits us could be terrible. In short, we are entering an era of the law of the strongest. This is a particular problem for sovereign states that are on territory that is attractive to stronger and more numerous neighbors. Washington no longer gives a damn about any principles, the EU is rushing straight towards its inglorious collapse, nationalists everywhere are taking the stage. It is only a matter of time before some European states will see this from Trump and say "We need someone's territory". This new-old world order is not at all favorable for many states. #Trump #EU #USA
