I am so disappointed that our European leaders are so short sighted and lacking courage. Europe is falking behind on everything. If US invades Iran, we are vulnarable to energy crises, if Cina invades Taiwan, we are screwed with lack of microchips. Where is strayegic plannig.

I plaude the Hungarians for having demostrated to the resto of Europe that autheritariansm e populism can be defeated. Two world wars and decades of peace must be defended. I wish our European leaders would take this as a stimulous to push through the reforms that Europe desperately needs.
The fathers of EU rightly wanted unanimous approval for major decisions at EU level but history is teaching us that this is not in the interest of europeans because it makes the EU too slow deciding.
