Europeans People Party, large political party within the EU which is largely full of conservative right-wing folks with the german Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen at it's top. She is also currently president of the European Commission and has been known to be involved in corruption and to favour company interests, as well as the rest of the fuckers in the EPP.

So I guess the context is: If EPP stays in power, that's good for top-business-people, but bad for everyone else. Thereby detrimental for such competitive-practise-laws.

First the EPP is center-right, not conservative right-wing.

So I guess the context is: If EPP stays in power, that’s good for top-business-people, but bad for everyone else.

Second there's too much leftists' bullshit already in EU member states and all that power vacuum created by key keep such as Angela Merkel leaving governments created all the right conditions for the US, Ukraine and Russia to start a war at the EU border that only benefits the USA and has a large economical impact on the EU.

As far as I can see it, they are conservative-right wing. It's even clear from the first sentence of the Wikipedia article you posted further down:

with Christian-democratic,[4] liberal-conservative,[4] and conservative[5][6] member parties

Second there's too much leftists' bullshit already in EU member states

You mean like those competiveness laws discussed in this post?

that only benefits the USA

Sounds like a conspiracy myth to me. Feel free to elaborate.

I'm sorry, that's not what they identify with...

Are they soc-dems?

[–] TCB13@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They do include a LOT of people from doc-dem parties in EU member states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_People%27s_Party

Not sure if you know how the EU "parties" work but the members aren't directly elected like in other places. They simply have a bunch of chairs that get filled with people from member state parties that applied to be part of that EU level organization. We most likely shouldn't even call them political parties.

Political bloc then

A guarantee of deploying to europe would be great for military retention! Everyone is tired of fighting forever wars in the desert

I give it about 10 years before the EU is invaded by the US after corporate lobbying

No need. The US most likely pushed Ukraine and Russia into a war that essentially is a way to put so much pressure in the EU economy that things will fail one way or the other.

Russia (and Putin) are so weak the USA forced them to invade their neighbour?

Cope.

I'm not saying that is or that isn't the case. What I know is that in this war, right after Ukraine, the EU is the most affected party. The US is the one that has most to gain from destabilizing the EU economy and weakening the Euro.

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 7 months ago

Politically sure, but economically the USA is hurt by this war. You may as well make the case that it’s in China’s interest, or Indias.

But that wouldn’t align with Kremlin disinformation that you’re spreading. Wilfully or not.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

The US promptly forgot that Ukraine existed once they gave Russia their nukes back, and didn't bother to think about them again until Russia invaded. The major exception being Hunter Biden, and he has never been in politics so he doesn't count.
