Yet again, the EU surrenders to Trump. After facing pressure from the US State Department, @kajakallas.bsky.social's EU foreign service pulled out of a conference this week at the last minute – because one of the panels dared to discuss American disinfo in Europe.

"What this amounts to is a purported defender of free speech at the state department using the enormous power of the US government to try to pressure Americans from criticizing their government” said Nina Jankowicz. This is the specific panel the 🇺🇸state department wanted to silence.

The EEAS claims they only just noticed it, but it has been on the conference agenda (of the event they were sponsoring) for months. “The organisers chose to frame some of the discussions in a way which does not align with the official positions held by the EU," an spokesperson told The Guardian.

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.

European Union sees itself as tool of the United States. A little cog in the machinery of US world supremacy. That US is ruled by Fascists makes little difference to the EU. Whether USA is ruled by Fascists, Conservatives or Liberals, the Union knows its place.
