Perhaps drop the euphemism "disinformation" (so cherished by established media) & just say "Lie." Every word out of the felon's face anus is a lie as well as every suckophant he's put in place.

What started off as a great idea, ( the EU)seems to have badly lost its way & be in the hands of too many of the wrong people, for the wrong reasons. It seems to represent the will or interests of Europeans, less & less. Sad to see. Hard to imagine how it can survive in its current form.

as somebody else just noted here, tho' ..., Credit to the US for making the point the conference was trying to make about US foreign interference in European democracies for them, thus bringing more attention to the conference and its themes than they could have possibly hoped for. 🤔

Cope

It took two years, from 2016-18 for the US mainstream media to use the word “lie” for the 10,000+ documented falsehoods, misrepresentations, inaccuracies, and other euphemisms. Europe faces Putin from the E, Trump from the W and Bibi from the S, Cerebus, but appeasement never succeeds.

On their website only the French foreign office and the City of Vilnius are mentioned as a sponsor amongst the non-private entities... Sad. Standing up against disinformation is more needed than it ever was before.

@kajakallas.bsky.social is just another imperialist minion

Bully boy tactics, absolutely disgraceful. Canada and Mark Carney would’ve told the orange idiot to get lost.

🇨🇦 did too And I’m very unhappy with that! We’re supposed to stand up to Trump, damn it!

Canada and EU are vassals of the US and that they cannot perform the most mild criticism proves this.

Kaja Kallas (@kajakallas.bsky.social) seems to use their high European Union position outside the context of Ukraine solely to pander to the United States in the mistaken belief that in exchange the USA might protect Kallas' Estonia from Russia.

Sponsors never have a say over the programme and there is no world in which the programme is supposed to represent their official position. Also, they had known the programme for a long time but only pulled sponsorship *after* the US pressured them to, which is confirmed.

All reporting on this makes clear American pressure worked.

Good panel and good topic!

The French once again showing the resolve, courage and foresight that other European leaders lack.

This isn't the first time this has happened. At the end of last year, a European Commission disinformation strategy was reportedly scrubbed of any mention of the United States after an intervention by 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's office.
