EU fails to pass new sanctions targeting Russia after Hungary objects
Until he gets elected again? Dude’s been sitting president for 16 years. I don’t expect that to change, even in the face of election loss and nation-wide protests. This is Putin country, he will make sure everything stays the same by any means possible. Look at Serbia. Same thing. They fought valiantly, and in the end nothing has really changed.
We have to accept that some countries in Europe and the EU are under the direct control of our main and biggest adversary. The US can be counted to them.
I mean it both is and isn’t. It does help small countries fun being steamrolled by the bigger ones, so it was easier to get countries to join knowing that they would not be overruled by Germany, France and Britain. The assumption was that you would have rational actors in place that wanted to do good for their people. It’s been working well, mostly.
But also yeah, it’s frustrating to see one it two bad actors mess things up.
Individual countries can still act though, it just won’t be an EU coordinated thing.
