In recent weeks, particularly during the last EU meeting where a decision had to be made on whether to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine – ostensibly for reconstruction, but in reality for the purchase of weapons – Europe, and especially EU President Ursula von der Leyen, made a complete fool of itself.

In the media, particularly the Western EU-controlled press, the defeat was not framed around the decision not to seize Russian assets, but around a €90 billion ($105 billion) loan to Ukraine to finance its defense against Russia over the next two years at the expense of EU taxpayers. This maneuver circumvented the significant disagreements over the outright theft of Russian state funds to finance Kiev. Several EU countries, such as Hungary and Slovakia, opposed the plan, and the biggest obstacle was Belgium, which already has enough problems with the “theft” of Gaddafi’s Libyan money and the arms shipments to Congo funded by that stolen money.

But Ursula von der Leyen is also facing significant headwinds from politicians in other European countries and within her native Germany. In a fierce intervention during a European Parliament plenary session ahead of the European Council meeting on December 18–19, 2025 – where a decision was made to impose even more taxes on European citizens to fund their dreamed-of war in Ukraine – Tomasz Froelich of the EU-ESN group, a German politician from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party elected in 2024, launched a scathing attack on the EU leadership. He called Ursula an infantile feminist in a man’s suit.

Personally, I would prefer to compare her to Magda Goebbels, the wife of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels in the Third Reich – or rather, fascist-Nazi Germany. Ursula has seven children and Magda Goebbels had six, making Ursula an exception among Europe’s largely childless feminist politicians. She is a fanatical and fervent supporter of Angela Merkel; they are close friends, and Merkel therefore gave her various government positions, following a trend in Europe at the time to appoint female defense ministers.

Ursula was, of course, one of the leading candidates. But she was completely unsuitable for the position and already a laughingstock among military personnel. She had – and still has – nothing to do with the military; the decline of European politics had already begun by then.

Angela Merkel set the tone for these colorless, feminist European female politicians, and for von der Leyen, she is a role model. But according to many German and European citizens, Merkel ruined Germany with her refugee and open-door policies. Many insiders also believe she is partly responsible for the breakdown of the Minsk agreements, a fact she later admitted in various television and newspaper interviews.

We know what happened to Magda Goebbels: she was so fanatical that she poisoned herself, along with Joseph and her six children, when the end of the Hitler regime was in sight. Ursula would not go that far, but her fanaticism and stubbornness – qualities absolutely unsuitable for a politician – could lead to her political downfall. Germans, without meaning to discriminate, are perhaps genetically predisposed to fanaticism, as history demonstrates.

Last week, it seemed as if the world held its breath, waiting to see whether von der Leyen could form a majority to plunder Russian assets, as there were hardly any other issues on the table. Ultimately, defeat came not only for von der Leyen but also for another German, Chancellor Merz, who is currently under heavy fire from native Germans in Germany itself.

This became painfully clear when Merz visited Magdeburg this week to commemorate the attack on the Christmas market. One year ago, in December 2024, an Al-Qaeda terrorist – still considered a refugee by German politicians – injured 338 people and killed six. Saudi Arabian-born Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove at high speed into visitors at the Magdeburg Christmas market, killing six and injuring 338.

This attack is just the tip of the iceberg. Rapes, stabbings, and murders occur daily in Germany, but Merz and his fanatical EU president bury their heads in the sand and see no problem.

Back to the EU, which is so corrupt and bears great similarity to Ukraine, where corruption recently came to light after raids by the Ukrainian anti-corruption agency NABU. Zelensky’s clique turned out to be white-collar criminals who stole money from their own citizens and most likely used EU funds to enrich themselves.

Recently, more and more corruption scandals have surfaced within the European Union, such as the most recent one involving another prominent EU woman, Roberta Metsola. As former President of the European Parliament (until 2024), she was embroiled in accusations of influence peddling and conflicts of interest. Metsola was involved in Qatar-gate. Then there is Eva Kaili, who was involved in the so-called “Belgium-gate.” Her case has resurfaced in the media after former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and an official affiliated with the College of Europe, Stefano Sannino, were arrested earlier this month and named as suspects in a separate alleged corruption case.

Or, of course, there is Ursula’s own Pfizergate – a political scandal and controversy surrounding the transparency of the European Commission’s €35 billion COVID-19 vaccine deal, specifically the lack of transparency regarding text messages between Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during negotiations. The General Court of the European Union ruled in May 2025 that the Commission had wrongly denied access to these messages and thus breached its transparency obligation. However, this did not lead to the resignation of Ursula or her accomplices in this mafia-like EU structure.

The complete lack of political acumen, as well as the unwillingness to engage in diplomacy, is now even clearly visible to the European population. The majority no longer support the war agenda of this radicalized group. The US government under Trump recently published its annual report on the National Security Strategy, which also focuses on Europe’s incompetence.

Although it is only words on paper – and execution always leaves much to be desired – it is clear that they view Europe, the EU, as a dangerous extremist threat. The report describes, among other things, an “extinction of civilization” resulting from factors such as mass migration, cultural shifts, economic weakness, and strategic confusion regarding Russia and China (although China is questionable, given it is the US’s so-called economic enemy).

But the US is right: if this continues, Europe, and Germany in particular, will become a new caliphate, just like Syria now, where Al-Julani has established a new caliphate – in complete contradiction, of course, to what Trump says about Europe as a caliphate. Syria has, in fact, become a new caliphate with US help. But it’s true: jihadists are making the streets of Europe unsafe, and the native population is practically a minority.

The policies of the EU and von der Leyen are radicalizing the German population and other EU countries, which is understandable. Although I do not consider the AfD particularly radical – it is a Volkspartei – I personally favor a party like Sahra Wagenknecht’s BSW, which has a moderate stance and more balanced and objective views. But returning to the EU, it is a cumbersome institution that has lost all its democratic values. It has become a totalitarian bloc where freedom of speech and press freedom have vanished.

Instead of focusing on diplomacy and economic prosperity – such as securing cheaper gas from Russia rather than expensive US gas for its citizens – they have made themselves unloved and hated by the European population through their foolish policies.

The EU has now become an isolated bloc, no longer a friend to the US, no longer a friend to China, and with an attitude toward Russia that is, to put it mildly, “unfriendly.” The Global South is all but lost!

Trump, along with his real estate manager Witkoff and others acting as special envoys, drafted the 28-point peace plan. Although the majority of the current US administration has no experience in politics, they drafted this plan; even if Russia cannot meet all the conditions, it is at least an effort. In contrast, the politicians of the European Union and some of its member states are not presenting a 28-point peace plan, but a 20-point war plan.

This is where Europe has come to: radicalized, belligerent, and incompetent politicians who should be deeply ashamed of themselves when they speak of peace, transparency, or democracy.

They do not realize that the rest of the world is literally spitting them out and that they are completely destroying themselves. They need to come out of their “radicalized” bubble and, as we say in the Netherlands, “Just act normal – that’s crazy enough.”
