    As an outsider.

    The EU represents, to me, he only power in the world that has a mostly people focused existence.

    China, currently, is about the glory of China and the ‘legacy’ of Xi.

    USA; is all about American exceptionalism. Trump is driving significant instability; he care only for Trump.

    So work out your differences; be the adult in the room. Help your people, the rest of us need your stability.

    As a side note; Putin is like a scorned lover, the USSR was a big player on the international stage. He resents that Russia is no longer that important. It seems like his expansionist tendencies are to get back to the world power status they once enjoyed.

    USA = Trump

    Russia = Putin

    Getting away from them to make another.

    I’m all for EU in theory, but it’s becoming harder and harder to want what they are pushing. Especially the way that they want it.

    It also makes things much much easier to corrupt.

    The american 50 cent army operating in a building based in Mississippi is going to become more of a problem overtime.

    It’s a great idea in theory.

    But plenty of people still remember the ECB “Austerity” campaigns of the 2010s, which crippled Southern Europe and kicked off a wave of far-right party organizing across the continent.

    Add to it, the Austerity programs championed in Europe a decade ago came from the same Chicago School and Anarcho-Capitalist mouthpieces that have injected Jeanine Áñez into Bolivia, Milei into Argentina, and now José Antonio Kast into Chile, with a looming threat of Maria Corina Machado being foisted on Venezuela.

    So, United EU on what terms, exactly?

    As an outsider looking in, who has enough problems of their own to deal with, what kinds of things are the aforementioned “empires” doing to divide the EU? Or is there somewhere I can read about it?

      Trump plans to break up the EU by ‘pulling four Maga allies’ out of the bloc, report claims

      Former aide to far-right German politician jailed for spying for China

      How a fake network pushes pro-China propaganda - A sprawling network of more than 350 fake social media profiles is pushing pro-China narratives and attempting to discredit those seen as opponents of China’s government, according to a new study.

      Chinese threat actor Storm-0940 uses credentials from password spray attacks from a covert network <— NOTE: this is the same botnet that took down Steam for a day just recently, likely to stress test the botnets capabilities.

      You can also blame the current US and EU relations on China since they endorsed the Trump admin reelection using their TikTok psyop.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia and China were promoting BREXIT as the vote was happening.

        Great detailed answer! That gives me plenty to read.

        Good luck to you all (if you’re in the EU). What a terrible timeline to deal with.

      Look at foreign meddling from Israel, China, Russia and the US.
