Trump is working on regime change in Europe — fact, not conspiracy theory

The US State Department published a memo urging Washington to back far-right parties in EU elections to build obedient “civilizational allies,” branding mainstream Europe as anti-democratic and making threats against governments that resist—effectively exporting Trump’s culture war to erode European sovereignty.

Trump is working on regime change in Europe — fact, not conspiracy theory

On 27 May, an official document, The Need for Civilizational Allies in Europe, calling for regime change in European countries was published, written by a senior adviser for the Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the US State Department, writes Caroline de Gruyter.

“'While the government still calls the deportation ‘voluntary’, people in Gaza are under so many coercive measures that no departure from the strip can be seen in legal terms as consensual.

'When you drive someone out of their homeland that would be a war crime, in the context of a war. If it’s done on a massive scale like he plans, it becomes a crime against humanity,' Sfard added."

I want to know why countries that support Israel’s inclusion in Eurovision don’t believe bombing Palestinians is the same as bombing Ukrainians. The article doesn’t answer that fundamental question. Why is it right to ban Russia but “complicated” to ban Israel?

I think I know the answer and it’s pretty easy to answer. Fundamental deeply entrenched racism. But nobody wants to admit that. Palestinians are, unfortunately, the wrong kind of massacred people.

Soon on Western pro-Russian channels… this post from one of them already hypes “people with #Nazi symbolic freely walking on the streets of Kyiv”.

Meanwhile, Kyiv police had already detained two men in such outfit, both of which were foreigners, who were charged with Article 436-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (manufacturing, distribution, and propaganda of nazism or communism). Which likely marks another wave of provocations paid by Moscow, who struggles to find any actual evidence for the need of “denazification of Ukraine”, so it has to invent it on its own.

By the way, this weird flag of Ukraine with swastika was never used by any actual nationalist organisations in Ukraine and never seen by any actual journalists.

The only place it was ever seen was a rather mysterious group photo of masked men distributed around 2015 by Russian portals (!), and nobody knew where it was made and by whom.

Not only Superman but many comic characters are 'immigrants' - Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Constantine (DC); Sub-Mariner, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Black Panther, Wolverine, Black Widow (Marvel); many more.

But it never used to matter, and they were appropriated for American superhero teams anyway.

Like the other guy already said, for the EBU the argument is always about the broadcasting stations, not the countries itself.

It reads like the member stations would have currently a majority to ban KAN for one year (2026), but didn't vote on it.

Interesting article reporting that Android will soon give Gemini broadened access to phones and the apps they run, even when Gemini has not been turned on. Article gos on to say people who don't want this should "open the Gemini app from your Android device" and turn off each app extension. Sounds simple enough, but I'm not finding any Gemini app installed on my pixel. Can anyone help me figure out what precisely people must do too keep Gemini off of their android devices?
