State of the EU address: 'Putin will fail and Europe will prevail'

The first statement made by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her annual State of the European Union address on Wednesday was not verbal, but visual. Clad in bright blue and yellow alongside other senior politicians, she showed support for Ukraine's battle with Russia, making clear even before the speech began that the war would top the agenda.

With Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska in Strasbourg for the occasion, von der Leyen pledged Europe's "unshakeable" commitment to Kyiv, sending a defiant message to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

"Putin will fail and Europe will prevail," the chief of the EU executive branch said. "I want to make it very clear, the sanctions are here to stay," von der Leyen stressed, listing off the damage so far inflicted on Russia by punitive measures: a financial sector "on life support," the departure of almost 1,000 international firms and car production down 75% from last year.

BERLIN — Olaf Scholz urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to completely withdraw his troops from Ukraine during a call Tuesday, as the German chancellor faces growing pressure at home to give more military aid to Kyiv.

I like how after 2 world wars the Germans flipped the script and now Russia is opposed by Western Allies.

Trump calls Ukraine invasion a ‘holocaust’
“We’re watching a holocaust. We’re watching something that I’ve never seen before, the way that they’re going to go in — they’re blowing up buildings with children, with women, with professions, with people — think of just people,” Trump responded. “They’re blowing up indiscriminately, they’re just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying​.”

“​The numbers are far worse than what you’re seeing on television​.​ … Many people are dying and we’re allowing this to happen​,” he added.​

EU gloaters are enemies of the conservative movement.The centralising model of governance with a neo pagan world view is fated to usher in an antichrist empire

Putin will fail
EU will prevail
Don’t think for a moment
that ship has sailed.
He took some poison brandy
in a gift in the mail
that was sent by rail
Putin will ail
he’s started to wail
Docs tell the tale
He’s sick and frail
and beyond the pale
A new guy we’ll hail.

Those who warned about Reich 3 were called paranoid too. Why you hang out on a conservative forum and endlessly praise the contruction of the EU super state is a mystery
