My German, French and Brit contacts can't confirm any of this, sorry. Neither did i see anything in my visit to Italy last month. I don't know any greek or swedes.

What i've witnessed is the high increase in anti EU propaganda to further destabilize the governments. Which is just logical as China, Russia and lately the US prefer a devided Europe.

Headlines like "Europe has fallen" falls into this category.


While the vid title sounds overly dramatic, the facts remain

Individual countries cannot stop the flow of illegal migrants when EU laws state every individual has the right to come to the EU and apply for asylum.

It's completely logical this attracts all kind of people, they throw away their papers to lengthen the process, lawyers are making money out of this by helping the illegals resulting in an even lengthier process.

In the end you never get rid of them because their first priority is to have kids born in that country who are then automatically citizens

Most of Europe doesn't have birthright citizenship. And yes, your vids (and their headlines) are overly dramatic. Other than that, I agree with what you wrote, though.

Ask you British contacts again and remember them of the stabbings in Southport not long ago

While you're at it remember your German contacts of the Cologne new-year incidents and remember your French contacts of the "Calais Jungle" and race riots.

Can somebody please explain how this deal VDL just concluded is good for Europe?

Committing to buy more expensive American energy.

Tariffs on EU goods but no tariffs on American goods.

Europeans need to invest their savings / corporate investments into US

Am I missing something?

A pretty pathetic result for VDL. Consequentially, she's getting (rightfully!) blasted from all directions: lefties, the industry and even from inside her own party.

The energy side of the announcement makes no sense. She says American LNG is more affordable than piped gas (no). Then says they don’t want Russian gas (okay?). Then says they will commit to buy usd 250bn of American energy (where is this number from lol it’s completely arbitrary?). What insanity is this?

We in the Netherlands have 21% Sales tax (BTW / tarifs ) on everything, so also on USA-crap

So your 15%Tarifs compensate that
