The #EU is about to sell our most sensitive data to the #USA for visa-free travel
The European Commission is currently finalising negotiations with the Trump administration to conclude an “Enhanced Border Security Partnership” (EBSP) Framework Agreement allowing border control authorities to screen travellers against biometric databases and profile them for security concerns. The leaked draft text suggests that the Commission significantly caved in to US’s excessive demands for unfettered information access, exacerbating travel surveillance and putting our fundamental rights at risk.

The War of Perception: The West’s infowarfare and cognitive warfare against Russia | Strategic Culture
Joint Publication 3-13 (Information Operations, 2012 edition with subsequent updates) defines IO as the integrated use of information capabilities during military operations to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the adversary’s decision-making process, while protecting one’s own. The key point is that U.S. doctrine explicitly limits such operations to the context of hostilities or their immediate preparation: it does not contemplate, at least on the stated level, a “permanent information confrontation” in peacetime. It is precisely this temporal limitation, as we shall see, that constitutes the main conceptual asymmetry with Russian doctrine, and it is documented by Russian analysts themselves when they distinguish their own “broad” definition from the Western “narrow” one.

The “Chat Control 1.0” saga - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament and a member of the European People’s Party (EPP), which is rapidly gaining infamy for undermining democratic processes.
Roberta Metsola surprised everyone by suggesting to the European Council to ignore the position of the Parliament she represents.
The EU governments swiftly agreed to push the text again, forcing the Parliament through a rarely-used procedure: a third vote, this time for a “second reading” of the file.

Aleksandar Vučić has become something rare in European politics: a leader who is simultaneously condemned by every faction in every conflict he touches. This week, hosting Zelensky in Belgrade, the Serbian president confirmed his status as the continent's most convenient punching bag, a symbol not of Serbian aggression, but of Serbia's perpetual victimhood at the hands of powers from all sides.
The question that haunts Belgrade is whether an independent path still exists. Can Serbia honour its historical ties to Russia without being branded a Kremlin outpost? Can it engage with Kiev and Brussels without being accused of stabbing fellow Slavs in the back? Vučić's tragedy is that the architecture of European security, as currently constructed, does not permit a middle ground. Even Switzerland is no longer permitted neutrality. You are a node in someone's network or you are a target.
Serbia has been that target before. In 1999, it was bombed for refusing to disappear quietly. Today it is pressured to choose a side in a war it did not start, to choose its wallet or its heart
The German journalist's question, in the end, was, in a sense, the most honest moment of the week. It revealed what the performance was really about. Not diplomacy. Not peace. Only the old, unchanging arithmetic of who is permitted to kill, and who is expected to kneel.

Freedom of speech dying a slow death in Europe – https://forumgeopolitica.com/article/freedom-of-speech-dying-a-slow-death-in-europe
Orwellian laws and the new “criminals”
Europe has accelerated down a path of regulation that treats speech itself as a danger to be managed by the State and its corporate enforcers. This is clearly reflected in the bloc’s supranational tools for speech suppression. The Digital Services Act (DSA) compels very large online platforms (VLOPs) to assess and mitigate “systemic risks” and platforms must act swiftly on notifications of illegal material or face fines up to 6% of global annual turnover. Though it claims to balance rights, the DSA’s risk-assessment mandates and enforcement mechanisms encourage over-compliance, leading to collateral censorship of lawful but controversial or unpopular speech.
That’s because the #DSA doesn’t just cover outright illegal content, hate speech, and threats to fundamental rights, but also "disinformation" and “any actual or foreseeable negative effects on civic discourse and electoral processes”. These are intentionally vague terms of course, as speech that has a “negative impact on public discourse” can literally be anything the establishment doesn’t like. Another “systemic risk” that the DSA compels platforms to screen for is content that can have “serious negative consequences to the person’s physical and mental well-being”. That could also literally mean anything, including just being offended by another person’s opinions.

230 illegal migrants on one dinghy: What does this tell us about the nature of illegal immigration to the UK via the Channel?
The 230 migrants packed onto a record-breaking mega-dinghy show how radically Channel migration has changed: fewer boats are getting through, but each carry far more people and launch areas now stretch into Belgium.
Behind the crossings is an increasingly professional industry, largely run by Iraqi–Kurdish networks, moving Chinese-made equipment through Türkiye and Germany to northern France...

As of January 1, 2025, the European Union of 27 countries had 30.6 million non-European citizens, representing 6.8% of its population, according to the latest data available from Eurostat residents did. It also had 14.1 million citizens from other member states.
A significant portion of non-nationals on the European continent (whether or not they are from another member state) reside in Germany (12.4 million), Spain (6.9 million), France (6.5 million), and Italy (5.4 million). Luxembourg remained at the top in terms of proportion, with 47% of non-nationals, followed by Malta (29.4%) and Cyprus (24.8%). The lowest proportion of non-nationals is found in Poland and Slovakia, where they represent 1.2% of the population, followed by Romania (1.6%), Bulgaria (2.3%), and Hungary (2.7%). In France, foreigners represent 9.4% of the population.

Iceland’s EU Referendum and the Battle for the Arctic Gate | 21st Century Wire
On 29 August, Icelanders will decide whether their country should reopen negotiations to join the European Union. A Yes would reopen accession talks suspended in 2013; any resulting treaty would face a second referendum, according to the Government of Iceland’s referendum guidance.
Recent polling reported by Politico has left the two camps finely balanced, even as opposition to membership itself remains clearer. That distance between the ballot and the destination is central to the Yes campaign, yet accession talks exert their own political gravity.

The Digital Euro: Your Money with an Expiration Date!
Welcome to the digital euro, where your money no longer belongs to you, but is only lent to you... with an expiration date.
The EU drafts are a nightmare straight out of Orwell's drawer:
Article 7: Merchants MUST accept the digital euro. Cash? It will be gradually phased out.
Article 13: Expiration date for your money. If you don't spend it properly, it expires.
Article 16: Maximum savings limit: your account will be artificially limited.
Article 24: Programmable money. Today, a CO₂ limit; tomorrow, meat rationing.
Article 25: Linked to your digital identification. Don't have an ID? No money.
Article 29: Sanctions. One wrong word, and your account is blocked.
And to prevent anyone from protesting too loudly, there is also a limit on transactions (article 37) to keep banks in check.

It's hard to tell whether Washington fully understands the implications of Russian patience running out. Those who are well informed probably do. The Kiev regime has long survived on US-#EU life support. As a proxy, Ukraine has little genuine agency: its power structure is heavily influenced from outside, and those external controllers need the conflict to continue for their own political and material reasons: they need war in order to stay in power and reap substantial benefits. Long-range strikes against civilian infrastructure deep inside Russian territory were once regarded as a red line, but they continue despite Russian warnings. President Putin has rightly pointed out that they have opened a Pandora's box that cannot be closed. These provocations are clearly designed to drag Russia into a direct confrontation with NATO.
Moscow has made its position clear. The Russians are warning NATO, and particularly the British—who have always fancied themselves as the architects of Europe's anti-Russian crusade—that their active participation in targeting Russian cities will not be tolerated. If they continue down this path, war with #Russia will become inevitable, with all the consequences that entails. The West seems to have forgotten that Russia is a nuclear power, not a country to be pushed around with impunity.
Relations between Russia and the #UK have sunk to levels not seen since the Cold War. In July, Moscow decided to leave the ambassadorship in London vacant after Andrei Kelin’s departure. It is a deliberate snub, a signal that dialogue is no longer on the table when the British continue to arm and encourage #Kiev's reckless strikes. Washington has done nothing to restrain #London and no effort has been made to pull back from the escalating confrontation, leaving the Russians to make the next move. Nor has the Trump administration applied any pressure on Kiev to halt its terrorist campaign. Instead, Washington continues to pour weapons into #Ukraine.
The question now hangs in the air like smoke over a battlefield: will this miscalculation spiral into something far worse? Will either Russia or #NATO consider crossing the nuclear threshold? The #Pentagon is clearly worried. And it should be. Russia has shown remarkable restraint in the face of relentless provocation, but even Russian patience has its limits. The logic of the current confrontation is a logic of madness, and Washington seems content to let it play out, betting that #Moscow will blink first. They are making a dangerous miscalculation, one that could have catastrophic consequences for the entire world.
