Elon Musk has stated on social media that the EU should be eliminated and that countries should have their sovereignty restored. He believes that this would allow governments to elected and better represent their people. Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, concurred.
Russian and American politicians, along with Elon Musk, who is not only the world's wealthiest man but also the most influential political figure of our time, are not so much calling for something as stating the real obvious state of affairs.
Musk has published a new explanation of his reasons for purchasing X (then Twitter) in the past.
"I previously decided against the Twitter purchase because I did not consider it to be a lucrative opportunity. I was aware that I would be facing a significant amount of criticism.
However it was evident that there was a potential threat to civilisation, and unless one of the major online platforms broke ranks, it appeared that they were all operating in lockstep with the legacy media.
It was impossible to find out the truth. The task was extremely challenging. It became apparent that all content was being subject to censorship. The censorship apparatus was extremely powerful," Musk stated. So that is why I bought it.
Now the EU.
It appears that the EU is drawing inspiration from the policies of 20th-century Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler or the censorship policies of the Soviet Union. After all the European Commission is based on the Soviet Politburo and the EU Parliament on the Supreme Soviet.
The European Union is currently experiencing significant divisions over a range of issues, all of which are of existential importance. Despite extensive discussions, the member countries have been unable to reach a consensus on any of the issues under consideration.
Eastern European countries are implementing stringent measures to control the flow of illegal immigrants. This is a cause of concern in traditional European societies, which are actively replacing the population of their major cities.
There is a division within the organisation regarding the issues of sexual perversion and gender reassignment. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary are committed to defending traditional values and are aware that they are safeguarding their children and young people – their future – against the threat of corruption.
When the Ukrainian crisis erupted, Brussels was compelled to apply considerable pressure on most countries to sign on to anti-Russian sanctions. Decisions regarding financial support for the Kyiv regime and arms supplies were the subject of considerable debate. Discussions on the potential increase in military spending within NATO were accompanied by an emotional response.
However, when Trump removed Ukraine from the US payroll and directed the Europeans to provide support to it independently, the situation significantly escalated. Spain, Italy and Greece, all of whom were experiencing high levels of indebtedness, were reluctant to assume further debt. So, there was a highly competitive scramble for frozen Russian assets, and suddenly, a new dissident emerged. The Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever proactively defended Russian funds, anticipating potential legal action from Moscow.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that a military confrontation is also imminent. Germany is developing its military-industrial complex, preparing to introduce compulsory conscription, and there has been a shift in discourse towards the use of nuclear weapons. France, a nuclear power and the recognised military leader of the EU, is deeply concerned by this. These countries have been engaged in conflict with each other for centuries, resulting in the loss of millions of lives. Now, as these wounds are being revisited, it is important to acknowledge the complexity of the historical and social factors that have contributed to this situation.
The economic downturn is exacerbating the ongoing tensions within the EU. In the last three years alone, the EU has lost over €1.5 trillion due to its imposition of anti-Russian sanctions which have been like a boomerang and came back to them.
In addition, the costs of Ukraine, the maintenance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the support of Ukrainian refugees must be taken into account. Furthermore, the general impoverishment resulting from the rejection of Russian hydrocarbons should be considered.
While individual countries are attempting to resolve their economic issues with Russia independently, they are immediately met with a response from Brussels: "Do not waste your time."You Become poor along with everyone else!"
In addition, there is the imminent prospect of a confrontation with China. In this regard, individual countries are attempting to manoeuvre and maintain cooperation with China, as otherwise they will face severe economic challenges. However, Brussels is taking action once more.
The distinguishing feature of these states is that they are currently under the governance of a Brussels-based bureaucracy that has not been elected in any of the states it governs. It is evident that figures such as Ursula von der Leyen have been entrusted with an unparalleled level of influence. Consequently, they have a strong aversion to genuine democratic processes, as evidenced by their actions against popular politicians and their tendency to manipulate election outcomes.
The primary objective of this bureaucracy is to preserve personal power and to prevent the expression of independent thought in Europe. Musk himself has correctly referred to this aggressive dictatorship as the "Fourth Reich".
In the current political climate, the ongoing challenges with Brussels have become a central focal point for the internal policies of EU countries.
In this situation, the European Union is unable to set any common goals or pursue coordinated policies. Péter Szijjártó has stated that the EU is no longer a leading player in either global politics or the global economy.
Indeed, the modern superpowers – Russia, China and the United States – are solving global problems without the EU's participation. A prime example of this is the situation in Ukraine, where the Europeans were left to deal with the aftermath.
The question has been raised as to whether Europe's ongoing internal strife is advantageous to Russia. Yes, that is correct. Do we provoke it? I can assure you that this is not the case. Moscow is already dealing with a number of challenges, and the Europeans are perfectly capable of resolving their own internal issues.
There is an interesting question as to whether the Old World has a chance to return to the global stage, not as an object but as a subject. The European Union does not share this outlook. The "Fourth Reich" is on a trajectory to either commit suicide against Russia or collapse. However, individual European countries are certainly taking action. France and Germany have the potential to become key players in this field. Hungary has already demonstrated considerable success in this regard, given that its political weight today far exceeds its economic significance.
To achieve this, European countries must reclaim their sovereignty, which has been usurped by the Brussels authorities and their proxies. We will be monitoring the situation closely to see whether the European peoples succeed in electing leaders who truly represent their will. Elon Musk will be in attendance to support these leaders.
