  • EU Age Control: The trojan horse for digital IDs

  • Right now there are 27 "centralized" databases to which European Commission has no access to.

    But they really really want to. Just before this, they launched Entry/Exit System (EES) which collects biometric data from third-country nationals who enter or leave the EU. Now this is the next step to extend it to ALL EU citizens.

  • That could be true, but you need a better source. De facto biggest liar in the world is not a valid source.

  • "The (Israeli) occupation is the one that rules Tulkarem. It would only be an image shown to the international media -- as if we have elections, a state or independence."

    What else needs to be said.

  • Europeans must recognize US, China and Russia are ‘dead against’ us, says Macron

    Jump

  • On many things that might be true, he's a typical European centrist in that regard, but he's been championing EU's military independence for decades and has been getting endless pushback for it. That suddenly changed after Russia invaded Ukraine and his position became the default in Europe.

  • Canada's US ties have become a weakness, says Carney

    Jump

  • A year ago, during an election campaign in April 2025, Carney called China "Canada's biggest security threat". Now China is a "strategic partner".

    China was never security threat to Canada, but Canada always parroted US stance on foreign policy. This is the break from it that is causing the hysteria.

    I think we already had similar discussion, but China's human rights record is far better from many other countries that Canada has trade relationship with and with many even deeper cooperation. Canada still participates in information and surveilance sharing with US which is used to commit war crimes.

    Heck, Canada has no issue trading with Israel who is livestreaming a genocide, so Canada is in no moral position to lecture others.

    It hurts Canada imho. It can soon hurt Canadians as soon as China attempts to take advantage over its new 'partnerhips' by coercing the Canadian government for political gains (there is ample evidence that Beijing has been doing so with other countries in the past).

    Trade is a bilateral relationship, they can exit it at any time. The only way they could pressured by it is by putting all their eggs in one basket, which they are not doing.

    It's certainly true that the US isn't a reliable partner anymore, but this doesn't make China better.

    You try to make it a replacement, when it's not. What they actually are doing is stopping mirroring US foreign policy and bullding trade relationships with everyone to not have the same single point vulnerability as they had with the US.

    It's the dictatorship it has ever been, and as such it is even worse than the US.

    Have to disagree with you here. US "representative" democracy has been so broken for decades and has caused so much damage to the world that China wouldn't be able catch up even if they tried. China doesn't invade other countries to rape and murder their people and steal their resources, they use trade deals and negotiations to get what they want.

  • UAE Blames Trump for Escalating Iran Conflict, Threatens Switch to Chinese Yuan Amid Potential Dollar Shortages

  • The fact that they leaked the plan, makes me think they are not planning on doing that. UAE is probably the biggest destabilizing force in the Middle East and they are just putting pressure on US via Israel's request.

  • Canada's US ties have become a weakness, says Carney

    Jump

  • Bowing how? By using China's tactic of trading with everyone? He had 26 foreign trips in a year and while not all resulted in trade deals there are like 10 trade deals done or in the progress of being finalized.

    Being dependent on a singe country is the biggest weakness you can have as a nation and he's trying to solve it, while still kissing US ring on the side. There are many horrible things he's doing (like expanding surveilance systems, continuing privatization push and going all into "AI"), but this is not one of them.

  • US | FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for article that alleged excessive drinking

  • Dude... You are on video drinking and partying in your own words on the job during the olympic games. You can sue someone over the noise of their fart, but this lawsuit is even more ridicious than that. If this goes past initial stages, it will get dropped before depositions to avoid exposing dirty secrets of the rest of the admin...
