International politics can be boring at times, but the one constant in an ever-changing universe is the hubris of the European Union.
With President Trump outlining the breakthrough negotiations for a peace agreement in Gaza, Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (U.K) and Friedrich Merz (Germany) call an urgent meeting of EU Foreign Ministers to organize their strategy to take over the Gaza “Board of Peace.”
EUROPE – Now that Donald Trump’s peace deal has the green light, European powers want a seat at the table.
As the news broke that Israel and Hamas had agreed the first phase of a ceasefire plan, French President Emmanuel Macron sent a rapid call out to other European allies and Arab nations to meet in Paris.
British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul both broke away from a U.K.-hosted summit on the Western Balkans to meet fellow ministers in France.
[…] The trio of countries known as the “E3” is likely to argue for a representative on the “Board of Peace,” the body that will oversee the transitional governance of Gaza by a Palestinian committee. (read more)
At a topline review the demands of the EU are pure hubris. However, when you review the underlying background of the EU state actors, the events are more appropriately considered pathetic.
The British social and economic system is in a severe state of crisis. The parliamentary government of France has collapsed five times in the past two years, and the German industrial base is shrinking, rapidly.
Simultaneous to this, China is crushing the Europeans on their own turf. There was a reason Team Trump (Greer, Bessent) had to meet Team Xi in Geneva and not in Asia during the U.S-China trade discussions.
China is making massive economic moves inside and around Europe as an offset to lost position in North America. In case you haven’t noticed, Europeans are starting to drive BYD’s (Build Your Dreams), while Merz angrily eats his strudel. Xi’s industrial capacity is much stronger than Brussels’ ability to withstand it.
To keep the pitchfork proles from noticing the mounting economic losses, Macron, Starmer and Merz have been pushing Ukraine/Russia shiny things. Gaza presents another opportunity to cloak the naked European emperors.
Ew boy. These people make me sick. Pathetic is the right word.
Better named the trio of eunuchs

These 3
I was thinking the same thing, add Desperate in there too.
They are now the bottom feeders looking for anything at all out there that they can turn into a source of revenue to fund their failed Socialist government.
exactly Pathetic
Jostling to be awarded the “rebuilding” contracts. Just like in Ukraine.
War is profitable, but the real money is in its aftermath.
Here’s hoping the US taxpayer isn’t bled dry here, like everywhere else across the globe. At least USAID is no longer at the trough.
Congrats to POTUS. One less impediment to JOB 1 : getting rid of millions of illegals.
What happened to Brexit?
I thought the British people voted to LEAVE the European Union –
so why should Keir Starmer be a part of this?
Sir Keir is negotiating agreements that entangle the UK back into EU restrictions.
He’s a globalist with an 11% approval rating. He’s got nothing to lose.
The British people voted to leave, but the British elites did not. They have been working to stymie Brexit from the moment the votes were counted. The elites running the Conservatives (Tories) as well as Labour have been part of making sure Brexit was never properly honored and all of them want back into the EU. Starmer is fully on board with frustrating Brexit, so no wonder he wants in on this.
Farage should be driving that point home.
The people voted to leave, but they voted the wrong way, so the politicians want them to change their minds, or else.
Time to dump the EU and NATO.
Hemispheric defense strategy can’t come soon enough.
I have been posting that sentiment here for nearly a decade. This is NOT our war and not our job to fund the rebuild. If a few American companies get a slice of the pie… so what. Let the ME fund their own new Disneyland.
I will say that the periodic videos of our Dept of War completely obliterating drug supply boats has provided me with some modest form of satisfaction.
James Monroe anyone?
Yes, Monroe Doctrine 2.0.
Me too
Fortress America is a much better strategy for America then providing nearly everything for such an anachronistic alliance like NATO that benefitted Americans least of all. Ditto unbalanced trade.
The EU has to pull its own weight when it comes to its own defense and societal wellbeing. Bankrupting America to continue supporting them is no longer in the cards.
Guns vs butter, choose wisely EU.
the story of “The Little Red Hen” applies so much here! They didn’t do any of the work, they don’t get any of the recognition or benefit!
Wow, that brings back old memories! Thank You! 😉
That fable has been a theme of my life. Yes, it applies here in spades.
When should we have realized the EU were not our allies.
1775
To be fair, France was an ally then. We would not have won without France.
That was before the leftists destroyed the France that was, of course.
France was never quite right after 1789. The French are currently on their Fifth Republic since.
Aw come on they sent you a statue
We would not have won at the time we did. We would have won.
I think we paid back enough to France. We saved their behind in World War I World War II, so they probably owe us a lot more than we ever owed them.
please, please don’t ever forget the thousands of lives we spent unwisely extricating the French culs from Nam only to see them go back and make agreements with Ho Chi Minh for the off-shore oil
Actually, they showed a day late and a dollar short as always.
The day it became an idea.
How about just a single requirement for the members of the Board of Peace or in my best snooty french, the Conseil de la paix.
That is the members cannot be actively pushing a war in Ukraine.
Seems like that would be an automatic disqualification.
In my best Spanglish….muchos cojones?
In mine – eff tu.
Well I can say it in Nuh Hampsha speak:
Ya ain’t gettin’ theya from heeya.
Reminds me of the Bert & I comedy records my Father in law (born in New Hamshire) and our family loved to listen to on the stereo They sure loved their sassages.
A+ for your Spanglish!
in my best Southern, “Aw hail, NO!”
Bless their hearts
Wonder how PDJT is going to view this. The EU is as they say in DEEP DOO DOO. What are the young Communists and the MOOSLEMS going to do in the EU if there is peace in GAZA now.
They won’t change a thing on what they do, now that they have de facto conquered most of Europe and the UK…
The EU is wondering why they are the only Muslim countries left out of the discussions
Oh, maybe burn down Wales and Mont St-Michel.
Don’t call us, we will call you.
From one Greg to another, I agree!
Never doubt a Greg.
If you don’t believe me just ask me!
Perhaps President Trump should send them this video. 😂. Great song, Sugar!
A seat on the Board should cost a significant capital investment in the rebuild. I say, let them have it.
BTW: see this behavior in Corp life all the time. When a project or investment is successful, people come out of the woodwork afterwards to claim their contributions were the key. When one fails, those same people disappear into the ether.
UK, France & Germany are broke. No IOUs.
It can provide the EU a truly economic way out of the mess they have created. Instead of banker wars, population control and eco-nonsense, they could try to create and prosper the old fashioned way: capitalism.
I should add…Trump’s a genius.
What does the BYD’s refer to ?
Huge Chinese EV auto manufacturer.
speaking of EV’s, one of my real merchant marine friends had posted a picture of another ship at sea, with either the batteries or the cars with batteries…
on fire and being left at sea, to do whatever happens to those ships with said cargo on fire…(let it burn out).
BuyYourDreams cars
Thanks
You see these EVs all over South Africa.
I have a friend who lives in Cape Town and he told me the Chinese electric vehicle market has taken over 30% of the cars there.
It’s destroying the manufacturing base in South Africa.
South Africa has severe electric problems with out EVs. It is insane.
The unmitigated gall of macaroni and crew.
Forever destined to be the designated wannabes.
These three jokers should be given the cold shoulder. How long before they try to take credit for the deal?
They can’t even handle the Ukraine. I do hope that the Arab nations realize that these jokers will jeopardize the whole effort.
Pathetic, absolutely PATHETIC !!
And yet President Trump wants the arch euro communist Tony Blair in his team.
Wots goin on?
These EU leaders have been maneuvering to grab a ”piece of the pie” for months. I believe that they had assistance from Canadian PM Carney, who has met with them several times. This also happened with the Russia/Ukraine deal that President Trump initiated earlier in the year. The EU and Canada scuttled that deal with their backroom dealings. They want a part of the trillions of dollars that will be gained through these two peace deals.
I am surprised that President Trump does not acknowledge that these nations are up to no good. I thought he was too astute not to realize that there are many ”carpetbaggers” that circulate in his orbit, eager to claim the prize without expending any energy in winning it.
I’m glad Sundance is calling out what I’ve been preaching. The metals going up is geopolitical, our markets going up is capital flows. The EU is desperate to install the digital Euro attempting to lock capital down. Too late! lol.
They want to get in on fat Gaza rebuilding projects. $$$$$.
“The trio of countries known as the “E3” is likely to argue for a representative on the “Board of Peace,” the body that will oversee the transitional governance of Gaza by a Palestinian committee. “
Whatever happened to “Better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in”.
Not that I am one who thinks the EU countries are enemies. All my ancestors came from them and I don’t think I would consider them enemies anyway.
And besides, if it’s only a representative, as in 1 out of up to 10, why should I get upset.
The people of the EU nations are not necessarily our enemies, but the multinational organized crime syndicate known as “The EU” is certainly our enemy.
Has President Trump ever called the EU the multinational organized crime syndicate?
Don’t take it personally, but I think I will follow President Trump’s lead and not yours, thank you.
Here’s Tommy again.
The collective is absolutely an enemy. Individually, maybe not, but only maybe.
Dear socialists,
No.
Sincerely,
PDJT47
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The EU is Bored of Peace.
Fine then. Let them finance every last penny of the rebuilding of Gaza.
If they wanted a seat at the table maybe they should have helped set the table in the first place.
They never thought the shooting would stop, now they need a seat to make sure the shooting starts up again.
The whole agreement is pathetic. You don’t sign a peace treaty with Satan. And just imagine the EU between you and Satan. We know what is going to happen. Gen Z will have to clean up this problem at a later date.
Would not allow these saboteurs anywhere near this.
Trump should tell his buddies running the Arab states, to tell the E3 : Thanks, but NO Thanks; we’ve got it all handled, just fine, without you !
” Macron, Starmer and Merz have been pushing Ukraine/Russia shiny things”
Like missiles with a range of hundreds of miles?
President Trump seems to be seriously considering these kinds of ‘shiny things’.
As of October 7, 2025, President Donald Trump stated he ha s “sort of made a decision pretty much” on whether to supply Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles, but emphasized he wants to see Kyiv’s target list first. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said, “I think I want to find out what they’re doing with them, where they’re sending them, I guess. I have to ask that question.”
This development follows increased pressure on the Kremlin after Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly reneged on a promise to engage in direct peace talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—a move that has personally frustrated Trump, according to his former Ukraine envoy Kurt Volker.
Your quote could easily imply no is the decision without some new information that could change the decision.
A. The ground lunch systems for Tomahawks have not been built yet.
B. American personnel are required in order to launch Tomahawks.
C. This means that Americans will be launching cruise missiles into Russia.
D. You cannot tell if an in flight Tomahawk is nuclear or non-nuclear.
What do you think will happen when Americans launch cruise missiles at Russia that Russia cannot tell are nuclear or non-nuclear? Wanna guess?
Reminds me of the story of the little red hen.
The “E3” or Schumer?
I’d actually rather have VD. At least I could get rid of it.
Nice.
My God, could those three little men be any more obviously desperate to remain relevant?
I hope the Arab nations understand exactly what this is, and refuse to attend.
They know and respect the strong horse behind this peace process, which is definitively not the EU or its constituents.
Feasting on the spoils of war before the blood in the streets has dried. That’s exactly the kind of folks you want to team up with to go a round or two with Russia in a nuclear war. Everybody for this madness should go participate in a few months of war action or have their own kids take their place. Once there, you’ll never want to go back. Those enthusiastic for war simply have some way to profit from somebody else dying.
Nah, but many thanks, anyway. You get back to taking care of all those terrible social media posts within your borders. We realize how busy you are.
Hoping to deflect attention from their serious domestic problems, Macron, Starmer and Mertz call for…
This certainly is hubris, but at the same time it’s so much more.
This is the EU displaying their insatiable lust for power and money. That’s a deadly combination.
Now that Donald Trump’s peace deal has the green light, European powers want a seat at the table.
There’s a seat for them but, not at the table different room, lucky for them it comes with a roll of double ply easy tear “napkins”.
Let them eat cake.
Rice cake.
or cow pies…just sayin’
Europe broke it. America bought it. Now Europe wants a return on “investment.” Amazing.
“The trio of countries known as the “E3”
That is the first time I have seen France, Germany, and the UK referred to in this way. I do not consider it a coincidence that the media is injecting this new mental model into the public consciousness at this point in time, and I do not expect it portends anything good for French, Germans, and British people.
Who coined that term, “E3”?
Very good question. If I may, I’ll steal it, please.
Same here, Keeler, and I live in the U.K. and try to keep a weather eye on what our very own conniving traitor, aka two tier Kwier, is up to. He’s behaving like the church minister engineering change by moving the organ one inch at a time. To the left.
But people are noticing, and he’s been called out publicly by MI5, the current Director of Public Prosecution (Kier’s previous job), and a recently retired Cabinet Secretary for, effectively, lying all round and working for the good of China, rather than Britain. This is unheard of in establishment life here. The BBC are silent on the subject of course, but the Telegraph and GB News (also streams on Truth+) are broadcasting loud and clear.
I’ll be posting some questions/comments about “E3” on their interactive boards later today…..
I was grateful for your comment, I was beginning to think it was just me!
Thanks for the update from Old Blighty. Keep it coming, Reader. 👍😊
The EU has the Ukraine war to keep them occupied, no? Their resume on peace is not too good.
Europe is no longer relevant on the world stage, so here they are trying to make themselves relevant at the expense of their constituents. The US should leave NATO and forget about the EU and Great Britain, they are irrelevant and economic drains at their best.
This is how you know, as if you needed ANY more proof, that these world events are GOLDMINES to the corrupt governments of the world.
Never lifted a finger to try to broker peace, but now that it’s there, so is the money for the individual taking.
Peace in the ME paves the way for all those EU migrants to return home! Euroweenies can work on that part.
They should all have the door slammed in their faces with a picture of Micky Mouse and the dual middle fingers.
People or countries that have done nothing should be left out in the cold and banned from any part.
Maybe they should cut all funding to Ukraine and divert it.
This is so predictable. I’ll be curious to see if we get another Giorgia Meloni “please, God, get me outta here” photo-op. She’s a corker in these circumstances.
Giorgia on my mind… 😍
Retired Magistrate here: The United States got involved in two World Wars cleaning up the messes that Europe started. They are now trying to start a third World War dragging the United States in with regard to Ukraine and Russia just to keep themselves relevant and from going under economically.
Rather than having creative ideas themselves they are trying to grab on to President Trump’s hopeful success in the Middle East. The only thing that the EU could accomplish would be to muck it up for their own benefit.
The EU really is a clown show, but a really dangerous one.
Strangely missing, the CIA.
They are waiting for just the right time to throw a monkey wrench into the plan.
Theres always MI5 and MI6 and Christopher Steele…
Sounds great to me, let them start with Ukraine. Seat on that board = EU pays for the ongoing Ukraine/Russia war costs and the US stops all funding and starts spending the hundreds of billions on it’s own citizens. England, France and Germany- put on your big boy pants!
Let the Euros have the whole mess. Way too much American tax money has been wasted on the cesspit of the Middle East. Well past time to mind our own business and take care of Americans, not foreigners.
gonna hold my comment until they demand that Zelensky be there too.,
They already have the sinister Tony Blair in the committee.
Would love to be inside the Donald’s head on that. I have faith, that there is a reason.
