What aren't the Europeans standing up to US bullying?
Most EU countries are client states of the US.
The US can literally destroy their economies if they don't do as they're told.
See how the US uses threat and retribution on countries around the globe:

Interview: AI is not the threat. It's the people building it "that are the existential risks to humanity."
"If a bridge collapses, we don’t ever ask, “Was the bridge uncontrollable? Was the bridge unethical?” And really, AI is no different than that."
When we describe these systems as if they have their own agency, we’re helping the companies market themselves. "We’re also helping them sidestep accountability."

Another example of gross incompetence from techbros:
"The U.S. almost started World War 3 with China by relying on.. fabricated information from a chatbot."
The chatbot gave "fake information saying that a Chinese vessel was carrying components of nuclear weapons."
And the US military was ready with planes, soldiers to intercept... board the ship, & this was going to cause an actual existential threat to humanity."

Analysis: "Trump forced Release of EU Oil Reserves, but it may not Avert Fuel Crisis"
"Trump successfully strong-armed the European Union to release 100 million barrels of petroleum from its reserves over four months."
"Trump apparently hopes that this release will ease gasoline & diesel prices & help him in the midterms."
"This step is unlikely, however, to have a big impact on gasoline & diesel prices."

Re "Why on earth would the EU want to help Republicans in the midterms?!?"
The horror... they're afraid of the sticks. Their US master has both the economic capacity and the psychopathic cruelty to literally destroy EU members' economies.

Analysis: "Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype"
"Claims of incipient, dangerous superintelligence are not based in good scientific or engineering practice"..
...but "in ideologies of transhumanism, eugenics, & wishful thinking."
The claims fall apart under scrutiny.
The AI industry says we should be more worried about a fictional machine god than about the climate catastrophe exacerbated by their data centers, etc

Interview: "Israel must be sanctioned like apartheid South Africa"
Palestinians have concluded "that Israel wants to eliminate them" - by military violence, economic strangulation, & constant encroachment on Palestinians’ homes."
"If Western nations imposed strict sanctions on Israel, eventually, the system of settler colonialism will fall down”.

There's no "thought" happening with genocidal Israelis - it's the mindless reaction from their lifetime of being brainwashed.
This is essential viewing:

Report: Francesca Albanese responds to Israeli model Sarai Givaty:
When Givaty was asked about Israel's killing of Palestinian children, she said: “I am sad. But... if we don’t act, this child will grow up to become a terrorist."
Albanese responded: "This was also the argument made by Nazi officials during the Nuremberg trials to justify why they killed children during the Holocaust.”

Re "My point applies to both Israelis and Palestinians"
"Bothsidesism" suggests a misunderstanding of the history of the conflict. The link is pretty clear on the topic, but there's also a lot of useful analysis about it online.
There are no equal sides in the conflict. The history spells it out. It has always been a genocide.
