Brussels won’t let go of its pet delusions.
Besides implementing common-sense policies in his US administration, Donald J. Trump is also flexing his geopolitical muscles to prod European allies away from the many Globalist – and suicidal – policies emanating from Brussels.
This realignment of priorities impacts policies in areas such as border protection and immigration, defense, free speech, racial tensions, gender confusion, and – of course – the church of climate change and their ‘Net-zero’ delusions that are killing European economies.
This US pressure is exerted both overtly and behind closed doors.
So, yesterday (11), it emerged that the European Commission is ‘defending its autonomous power to adopt laws’ in response to US pressure to roll back the EU’s insane environmental legislation.
.
Euronews reported:
“The European Commission on Thursday rejected the US’ demands regarding its environmental regulations, which Washington considers too restrictive for its companies.
‘Our laws, our European regulatory authority, is not up for discussion’, Commission deputy spokesperson Olof Gill said, making it clear the EU would not roll back on its power to adopt legislation.”
.
“This latest effort to push back against US demands comes as an EU official confirmed to Euronews that the US administration sent a document to the Commission this week requesting that American companies be exempted from the EU legislation on corporate due diligence – in Brussels jargon: the CSDDD.
The landmark EU corporate supply-chain legislation, adopted last year, requires companies to check their supply chains for dodgy environmental and labor practices.”
.
The US Chamber of Commerce has also called on the EU to reverse the ‘principle of extra-territoriality’ that aims to put US on equal footing with European ones under these draconian requirements.
.
“US pressure on EU legislation — whether on digital or climate issues — has been relentless since US President Donald Trump’s return to power, even as the EU and the US concluded a trade agreement in July meant to ease transatlantic tensions.”

Trump wants to give Ukraine Tomahawk missiles, 2500 km range, to fire at targets deep in Russia to get Putin to the negotiating table.
The missiles cost $1.3 million each, are complex, require trained US personnel to operate the launcher located in Ukraine.
The US will use its satellites to determine the vulnerable targets in Russia to hit, such as oil refineries. Ukraine personnel essentially are observers.
This whole situation is totally nuts.
What gives the US the right to fire missiles into Russia?
Was not the US the main instigator of the violent Coup d'etat in Kiev in 2014?
Victoria Nuland said the US spent $5 billion on that coup.
The US/EU/UK-instigated/financed, illegal Coup d’Etat in Kiev in 2014, violently ousted a Democratically elected President, and caused 116 dead, plus 184 with gunshot wounds, plus 760 with bodily injury
What if Putin said, you fire such a missile into Russia, we will fire a similar missile to a target of our choice into the US, or a US facility elsewhere?
