When Trump wouldn't leave the stage #Worldcup2026 #VM2026

It's a bit ironic that Donald Trump now has to give a gold medal specifically to Spain. One of the European countries he has had the greatest conflicts with. #VM2026 #WorldCup2026

Spain wins World Cup gold!

One of Putin's opponents, Boris Nadezhdin, has withdrawn from the upcoming Russian parliamentary election. He says that he has been "silenced" and "forced out of politics." Earlier this week, he was also labeled a foreign agent by Russian authorities.

New strategy from Trump and republicans until midterm election – call all other communists

The automotive industry in Europe is facing the loss of thousands of jobs, and some are now blaming the EU's mandate to replace fossil-fuel cars with electric vehicles. However, remember that it is primarily the European automotive industry itself that failed to develop its vehicles in a timely manner, unlike what has been done in China and the US. If we want to sell cars in Europe, we must build better cars, and that is also the solution to the current crisis.

Canada and Europe are boycotting the US when it comes to travel and purchasing goods. For example, wine exports to Canada have dropped to one-third, and Canadians are instead buying domestically produced wine. I wonder if that will change again once the trade war is over?

So with the release of the documents, Trump has shown that the Chinese are hacking to obtain Americans' personal information, but not that they have used this to influence an American election, nor has it been documented that there has been widespread election fraud. He is trying to get the electoral system changed to his advantage before the midterm elections, but it does not look like Americans are buying it.

Twitter was launched 20 years ago. Now it has changed after Elon Musk took over and changed it to X. Below is an image demonstrating some of the changes. People on Twitter has been spread on many different social media, e.g. Atmosphere (Bluesky/Eurosky/W) and Mastodon. Do you miss the Twitter days?

American interference in the French presidential election has begun. Elon Musk has (as expected) expressed his full support for Marine Le Pen.

Denmark is a highly digital country and the country in the EU where the most young people have basic digital skills (92.1% 16-24y).

The Baltic countries, Latvia and Lithuania, are now warning about intelligence showing that Russia has planned sabotage targeting infrastructure in several NATO countries. They are therefore increasing security around energy and transport infrastructure.

Trump is not treating Canada properly, and this has led them to increase cooperation with Europe in trade and defense, and now they are also participating in Eurovision. Canadians are very welcome and will always be Europe's friends.

Trump promised that the war against Iran would be over in 2 days, then a week, and then a month, and here we are half a year later. He is deeply untrustworthy, for better or worse, which is also a problem for the US. Who can take Trump seriously?

I fully understand the desire to protect children from social media with an age limit in the EU. Nevertheless, it is sad that free, anonymous movement on the internet must now be restricted by age verification, and I also think it is, first and foremost, the parents' responsibility
