On this episode of the MCC Brussels podcast:
🔥 EU Green Deal in Crisis
Von der Leyen pulls the plug on flagship green policy. Farmers revolt, small businesses are strangled, and voters are done with climate extremism. The Green Deal was never sustainable, it was a fantasy cooked up by unelected bureaucrats and corporate lobbyists. Now reality bites.
🇮🇱 Brussels and Israel: Double Standards on Display
As Israel defends itself against terror threats, the EU ramps up investigations and legal posturing. Meanwhile, authoritarian regimes like Iran are met with silence or soft diplomacy. This isn’t about human rights — it’s about Brussels performing virtue while ignoring reality.
🪖 NATO: Bloated Bureaucracy, Absent Backbone
NATO talks a big game (new defence targets, bold declarations) but behind the curtain, it’s a mess of opt-outs, political theatre, and strategic drift. Member states evade commitments. Brussels plays with spreadsheets. And nobody seems to remember what real defence requires: borders, armies, and a will to fight. This is not a serious alliance. Not anymore.
Featuring Ashley Frawley and Frank Furedi. Hosted by John O’Brien. No platitudes. No spin. Just the truth
