alt Hacker NewsEU politicians are just too dependent on keeping the status quo of the last decade. The status quo is how they got to their position so they have no incentive to change anything (Starmer, Merz, Marcon, Von der Lyen. Yuck). By the time they finally get the shove they need to rapidly decouple, e.g. when America invades The Hague* to rescue Netanyahu from war crimes charges, it will be when they're already on the edge of the proverbial cliff.

Only invasion, or a real threat of invasion, from Russia, US or China can shook Europe into real change.
The EU has - just like the US - a generation of boomer senators and presidents in (voting) power for more than 2 decades at this point.
In the coming decade, that will change.
Hopefully for the better.
The usa couldnt handle Aghanistan. Now they are invading continental Europe?
As I said, still licking the car battery.
