Congratulations to all European Union citizens. With the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen, you can all expect more of the same. It should be of further comfort to Europeans within the bloc that 284 of 401 elected parliamentarians voted to put the Queen of vaccines and European militarism in charge once again. So, your leaders have matters well in hand.The Poor GreeksFor the Greek people, who recently became the poorest people in Europe, Prime Minister Mitsotakis' being one of the first to congratulate the former German Defense Minister is a potent reminder. Mitsotakis' post on the social media platform "X" on election day means even poorer nations will soon wisk past Greece economically. In all seriousness, Mitsotakis and the EU presided over a Greek disaster in which the income gap between rich and poor grew ever wider. A key metric is that Greek wages have dropped at a rate three times that of Spain, or minus 30% of what they were before the financial crisis. By contrast, Queen Ursula's country, Germany, has seen an over 12% increase in real wages, a difference of roughly 42%. But numbers do not tell the whole story. And neither does one country in the waffling EU.
Let's look at what Ursula von der Leyen's cronies are planning rather than what their propagandists tell the public. A good example is the discontinuance of the bloc's massive post-pandemic recovery fund for poorer countries. The commission, led by some of von der Leyen's German chums, is also looking at extending the "cohesion fund," which
blackmails poor EU nations to become more German. Cash for reforms (proposed €392 billion), but no emergency money to help poor EU people climb out of the gutter of bad policies. Here in Greece, a traditional culture is being destroyed to become "Europeanized." Companies like TUI, Lidl, and others have accomplished what Hitler's paratroopers could not.
Germany took over Crete without a shot being fired.
Comment: As noted below, Israel's provocations, and its attempts to widen the conflict - sometimes bombing Palestine, Lebanon and Syria all in 1 day - wouldn't be possible were it not for the West, and some Arab states:
