This is asuming that EU will work in their (our) interest. For me it seems that most of EU works with interests of other actors, especially US, from Ursula downwards, so they might give the US access and ignore their own people... again.

Where is this coming from? The vast majority of what the EU does doesn't concern anyone but the EU, and is sometimes actively hurting non-EU entities like American corporations. Be it the GDPR, the Digital Markets or Services Acts, the Covid recovery funds, farming subsidies, various projects to improve random hyper local infrastructure, etc etc etc.

  Idk if you've been asleep the last 10 months regarding the politics of Ukraine, which isn't even an EU member. VdL bends over backwards on anything the US asks of her. How she even became the head of the EU council can only be explained with corruption. And that's also the main reason why the right is on the rise on the EU, because they don't want an undemocratic overlord. The irony is real.

    Yep... people are getting really fed up with the current state of the EU (especially the unelected leadership), and even when locally some "alternative" is elected, they go along with whatever the heads in EU tell them... Considering the history, sooner or later another failed artist will represent a real "alternative", and considering i'm a slav in the first line of slavic countries the the south, I'd prefer some EU-wide changes before that happens.

      > Yep... people are getting really fed up with the current state of the EU (especially the unelected leadership You're going to have to provide a source here. All the polls I've seen have indicated that the vast majority of EU citizens support thr actions of the EU with regards to Ukraine (helping them with financial, humanitarian and military aid, and hosting their refugees) and Covid (the relief funds).

    The vast majority of EU people and member states support helping Ukraine over bending over backwards to Putin's genocidal regime. von der Leyen is a terribly incompetent person, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere close to a place with power. Nonetheless the current EU actions are in line with what the EU wants. The only exceptions are annoying fringe groups, and Hungary which is ruled by such a fringe group. > Ukraine, which isn't even an EU member So fuck 'em and let them die at the hands of a brutal invader or do you mean something else? Appeasement doesn't work, and the countries that have the most to lose if Ukraine falls, like Poland and Romania, are very much in the EU.
