1/2 With the European Union roiled by internal divisions and failing to act as a coherent strategic actor in the face of multiple wars and conflicts in its region, the tables have turned. Whereas once-weak Asian powers used to be the object of Europe’s strategic calculations, it will now be the other way around.
2/2 Naturally, a more autonomous Europe would be an ideal outcome for Beijing. Besides exploiting the trans-Atlantic divide on geopolitics, Moscow and Beijing have more than enough room to work with anti-Americanism on the left and right of the European political spectrum.
Why can’t we all leave each other alone?
Maybe Poland needs to bring back the idea of the Visegrad Alliance outside of NATO and the EU. Add Romania and Croatia and it has access to the Adriatic, Baltic, and Black Seas. There can be a way that’s not US/EU corporatism and also isn’t Chinese/Russian style authoritarianism.
Sigh.. oh why oh why did so many EU countries fall into voting for the right/far right that dont want to unite with other EU countries as much
And now we have the eastern side falling into pro-russianism
The EU should unite and start planning on how to make the EU more self sufficient and a continent that has its backbone well together
We rely too much on the US and as trump won, we cant rely on them one bit anymore
The fact that people in Europe are still trying to act like everything is normal even when a war rages only 1600 km away speaks volumes about their complacency.
*Source mostly salty Brits about how Europe is divided and some other trivial loonies . When in fact, the EU is strongest it ever was and now moving forward with many things the UK put spokes into the EU’s wheel. Political and economical challenges are dealt with. Outcomes are swift. 15th round of sanctions against Russia was implemented.
Globalization was stupid for short term gains and long term loses. Bring industry back home and end the madness

Two interesting points for you from the article:
