He got so rich thanks to corporate welfare. For more than a decade he has been selling far fetched sci-fi ideas intended to save the future of humanity and received billions that fueled marketing campaigns which pumped market value of his companies like it was a meme shitcoin.

It’s not like USA didn’t profit from being the sole sheriff on international waters for those 80 years. Europe being subdued and mostly not seeking any power projection in that period allowed the US to dictate who buys what from whom and in what currency. None of world policing was a charity. There’s no going back to that. Europe has to commit to security, I just hope Von Der Leyen and Tusk will not waste that 1trillion euro they are promising to spend on that and that Americans will take the Russians assets out the Romanian way and become sane again.

Good, whoever cooperates with Lukashenko’s regime should be completely denied entry to the EU under any circumstances.
