Also, wtf is this shit France is talking about with tiered membership? I fully suspect they’ll use this to try and strip poorer EU countries of voting rights if they get their way.
To be fair countries like Hungary and Poland have exposed the obvious weaknesses of a fully equal partnership that’s present in the EU, it’s all nice and stuff untill the whole EU pulls together, once you have bad actors fucking up quasi dictatorships like HUngary can stop your shit way too easily.
“Rules for thee but not for me” shit that rolls eastward.
I feel like that would exist regardless of EU or not and while present in the EU it would be worse without it.
I mean don’t get me wrong, the EU isn’t perfect, but the person I replied to is clearly doing a false equivalence shit, comparing an imperfect EU with the fuckstorm that is russia.
That can be solved by removing the veto, but it’s pretty telling that France wants to replace that with a tiered system rather than accept that they might get overruled by a majority if they do fucked up shit like Hungary was doing.

Completely agree. However many problems I have with the way the EU runs, it’s infinitely better than living under a boot.
I’ve seen European history summarized as “everything was going well until one day a Frenchman had an idea and things went disastrously bad for everyone”.
