The European Commission President's Nov. 25, 2025 speech was animated by the same obstinate nonsense that compelled Napoleon to invade Russia in 1812 and Hitler to do the same in 1941.
Ursula von der Leyen is an obsessive authoritarian. Her sentiments are fully with the WEF-Leftist-Globalist Cabal. Not with EU. She seeks to abolish cash and wants to put all individuals in a surveillance state for their own good. She is a dangerous, obsessed woman in a baggy pants suit. Do not obey her. Do not comply.
Von der Leyen and Trump are in different categories and present different issues for “normal” people to deal with. To argue that she is a “mini-Trump” is not very helpful and apparently a symptom of TDS. The primary difference, I think, is that Trump at least wants to drain part of the swamp, whereas von der Leyen is a globalist, deep state swamp critter without peer.
I find it very odd that in John Leake's presentation of Ursula's family history, along with his analogy to Hitler that he didn't make the most glaring and obvious link of all between them! Nor has any other commenter. I suppose a Fox is going have to connect the most important and relevant dots in this story. Like her grandfather being a high-ranking German official who helped negotiate the Pact between Hitler and Stalin (later broken). And her husband's family who oversaw the massacre of Ukrainians in Galicia. You cannot tell this story, John, without telling the most meaningful and poignant part of it! Relations to crazy kings in the much longer ago are interesting, but not the most compelling ancestry story to tell. Especially not about a eugenicist, who's entire world view is through the prism of her "superior" genetics! Eugenicists don't get to stake a claim to the best genes they inherit without carrying the burden of the worst genes they inherit!
"Albrecht made Hans Puvogel his minister of justice. During his tenure, Puvogel was particularly active in combatting notions of more liberal penal and rehabilitation systems. He had already set out justification for his stance in a 1935-1936 doctoral thesis. There, he wrote of the “inheritance of criminal tendencies”, of “constitutionally predisposed criminals” and “inferior people”, who would have to be “eliminated from the community”. “Only a person of value to the race” would have “a right to exist within the national community”.
The state government under Ernst Albrecht used every opportunity to court former Nazis. In a 1978 speech, Deputy Premier Wilfried Hasselmann (CDU) greeted the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients, a league of former Wehrmacht (Hitler's army) officers and SS men, certifying that they had “shown courage and given an example to others”. Hasselmann declared he was “deeply impressed by the solidarity of your order. You have fulfilled your duty as soldiers in an exemplary manner. This will continue to be evident to a younger generation."
FF - Ursula's father's values included eugenics as described above, the elimination of "inferior people" from the human gene pool. And Ursula's father recruited former Nazi's to support his administration, his agenda. These are the family values of a leading global politician who embraces totalitarian governing models. Inherited. It's in her genes. Ursula, proponent of eugenics, must own the harms of her genes she inherited, not just the benefits.
More interesting tidbits about Ursula's and her father, Ernst, that provide insights as to what makes her tick:

FF - A Nazi German psychologist and psychotherapist PsyOps pro, and medical doctor. Actively practicing during the 1930's...when more doctors were early members of the Nazi party, not just the late arrivals who were followers or coerced:
Why did so many German doctors join the Nazi Party early?
International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, October 3, 2012
"During the Weimar Republic in the mid-twentieth century, more than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party, surpassing the party enrollments of all other professions. From early on, the German Medical Society played the most instrumental role in the Nazi medical program, beginning with the marginalization of Jewish physicians, proceeding to coerced “experimentation,” “euthanization,” and sterilization, and culminating in genocide via the medicalization of mass murder of Jews and others caricatured and demonized by Nazi ideology. Given the medical oath to “do no harm,” many postwar ethical analyses have strained to make sense of these seemingly paradoxical atrocities. Why did physicians act in such a manner? Yet few have tried to explain the self-selected Nazi enrollment of such an overwhelming proportion of the German Medical Society in the first place."
FF - This is who Ursual von der Leyen is.
Now for her husband, the von der Leyen family, his gene pool inherited inhumanity that accompanies his privilege. Heiko von der Leyen, Ursula's husband, is a doctor and scientific director of the US biotech company Orgenesis, which specialises in cell and gene therapies and is a frontrunner in the development of RNA COVID vaccines.
His family was full of Nazi murderers in WWII. Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen ruled Galicia Ukraine...*Ukraine!*...in a civil capacity for the Nazis during WWII. He oversaw the village where Ukrainians were massacred:
Friedrich Ludwig's son, Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen (September 28, 1897 – 1945) was a German jurist and civil servant who worked as a district administrator during the Third Reich in occupied Czechoslovakia and Poland, and was involved in perpetrating the Holocaust as Kreishauptmann (district chief) of Lemberg-Land in the District of Galicia."
"Von der Leyen was informed about, and participated in, the Holocaust; as were, and did, numerous other district administrators, chiefs, and miscellaneous officials in the District of Galicia. Von der Leyen was the "highest civilian ruler" of Lviv during the Holocaust - he oversaw forced labour camps, extermination camps, and the Lviv Ghetto, where approximately 540,000 people were murdered. Joachim's widow, Huberta, would manage the Haus Meer Estate until its inheritance by his son, Friedrich Heinrich von der Leyen II in 1970"
The Von der Leyen family also ran a Euthanasia Program called "The Institute for Typhus and Virus Research." Euthanasia is a eugenicist's favorite way to kill off "useless eaters" from the gene pool.
Nazi's all the way down in Ursula Von der Leyen's ideas and blood, genetics.
The way the EU is structured, the people have no power. The EU leaders are all appointed, not elected. The EU allows each country to elect its own government, but it has limited power. The only leverage Europeans have is the street. This is why we see so many massive protests that last for months.
Sounds about right. As Mike Benz had maintained, the ultimate object is to destroy Russia altogether and gain access to the vast mineral wealth of Eurasia.
Sadly, even "conservative" Fox News continues with the same anti-Russia, anti-Putin rhetoric, never recognizing the deliberate and systematic baiting of Russia to invade Ukraine by the West, and never mentioning the Nord Stream pipeline.
Add to your list two additional items. Provide the cover necessary to money launder billions of dollars of aid from other countries into the hands of all the oligarchs and the corrupt political class. Second, to give the western European governments air cover from their impending economic collapse.
A most astute historical insight. To be honest, I never realised that Frau von der Leyen was of Hanoverian descent, but it makes perfect sense. Those 'illustrious' usurpers were, of course, also responsible for the breach with the thirteen colonies across the Atlantic from where I live. As the leader of the totally undemocratic European Commission, she might consider adapting your forbears' slogan along the lines of. 'Still more taxation without any representation.' I read somewhere that one of her more recent German ancestors had been a senior official in the Third Reich, which is quite appropriate, given that the EU's constitution resembles very closely the governance arrangements for Europe, had the outcome of World War II been different. Of course, we should not forget that Fraui von der Leyen also has British ancestry. I understand that she comes from a family that made its fortune from the slave trade. All in all, I would say she has the perfect pedigree to be the Great Dictator - delusions and all.
Since all of Western Europe, including the UK, has entered a long period of collapse, its leaders see war as the only way to avoid defenestration and possibly prosecution....But it needs to be a proxy war, since they have largely disarmed themselves...Hence Ukraine...Ursula, of course, has collected a large amount of bribe money, and can buy a large estate in the US anytime...if she hasn't done so already....
It is past time to recognize that Russia would be far better ally of the US/MAGA than most of the Europe countries that are ruled by the globalists. Hungary and a few others would be exceptions. Sure, Putin is a dictator, but we have always been willing to work with dictators when it is to our benefit. Russia’s governance is not our problem. Why does the US/CIA believe we should initiating regime changes around the world? Doing so has never benefited the people of the US.
You are badly mistaken when you write "Britain, France, and Germany have never understood Russia,". On the contrary, they have always understood the potential embodied in Russias vast resources and intelligent population. The have repeatedly attempted to castrate the bear to eliminate it as competition and steal what it has.
Britain, France and Germany have neither dignity nor intelligence. Puppets of the global cabal they are destroying Europe with their warmongering and irrational hatred of Russia. Let them be dammed
History just keeps on repeating itself with various arrogant idiots making the same sort of stupid decisions which lead to millions of people having their lives ruined or ended. After which, the world carrys on, the idiots get replaced, the people pick themselves up (what remains of them) and Russia is still there. The current batch of idiots are probably the worst yet because of the huge decline in education in the western world so they really don't know just how much they don't know.
This commentary is spot on! So well laid out. And interestingly enough Steve Bannon comes to a very similar conclusion regarding the common perception about our “European Allies” They are not; and we need to act accordingly.
From my own perspective as a rather culturally conservative christian, I have a lot more in common with Putin’s Russia than the Von der Leyden gang.

Why are the European people standing for this horrible leadership?

Wow, I would be working to overthrow the current powers and restore individual liberty!
Because for one example as Putin has remarked, the British government “has zombified the people” of the uk
Terminal TDS.
No that’s not TDS it’s alliance with the WEF CABAL.
Sounds like she is from a long inbred line of cretins
Yes, she is a mini Trump.
OMG, not even close. I swear, TDS produces imbecilic remarks.
The idea that Trump is the answer to anything is imbecilic.
Sounds about right. As Mike Benz had maintained, the ultimate object is to destroy Russia altogether and gain access to the vast mineral wealth of Eurasia.
The shipping lanes as the ice clears, also.
