Europe

Piece by piece, a great Eastern blockade is coming together, cutting off trade routes between Europe and the Indo-Pacific. The Bab-el-Mandeb strait at the southern end of the Red Sea has become the site of multiple skirmishes, as Western navies struggle to protect the free transit of freight vessels against attacks carried out by the Iranian-backed Houthi movement. 

Europe is the 3,000 years of history behind us, not a handful of officials and unelected functionaries of the European Commission telling nations how to behave.

It’s now been more than a year since the spectacular victory of Giorgia Meloni and our friends from Fratelli d’Italia. Those elections showed us, once again, that we, conservatives and reformists, the patriotic forces of Europe, can win elections. And we can do so without having to renounce our principles or disguise our ideas, as it has always been mistakenly believed by other forces that proclaim themselves conservatives in front of their voters, but, when election day arrives, are only concerned with not making any noise and keeping a low profile.

The principles and values that we represent are defended openly and without fear. These values are capable of connecting the majority of society, as long as we know how to live, feel, and fight for the demands of our people at all times.

Europe is not prepared for a war with Russia and is in danger of being “washed away” in a conflict, much as the Holy Roman Empire was broken up by Napoleon, Germany’s pre-eminent military historian has warned.

At a high-level defence conference in Berlin, several German generals also suggested that Nato might be unable to win the “first battle” in a defensive war on its eastern flank, because it would struggle to ship sufficient numbers of troops and equipment to the front line quickly enough.

For the first time in a millennium, Europe no longer plays a critical role in promoting Western civilization nor in world history at large.

Ostensibly it should. Some 750 million people live on the European subcontinent.

Europe still remains the most popular tourist spot on earth. Its hallowed architecture, art, infrastructure, and natural beauty still remind millions of visitors of the world’s once most dynamic and grandiose civilization.

Europe’s middle classes are increasingly dissatisfied with governing institutions and establishment political parties, while skepticism of the war effort in Ukraine is more widespread than many thought, a new study has found.

The report by the Martens Centre, the think tank of the centrist, pro-EU European People’s Party, acknowledged that mainstream parties and governments are losing support, but claimed the solution was more European integration.

“There is no denying that representative institutions and traditional political parties are in crisis. Our results only confirm that,” the study stated.

The continent is changing faster than America

The temperature, at last, is starting to drop — and for Europeans that only means one thing: peak season is over.

The crowds in the piazzas and on the beaches are starting to thin. And in the tavernas that were TikTokked you can finally think about getting a table. It’s time. Like the clockwork of migrating swallows — the Americans are going home.
