      How so? Even if we ignore the pro-Russian far right and the political establishment(s) giving them legitimacy, I haven’t seen anything resembling resolve, let alone competene, from most EU countries. Hell, those guys are still dragging their feet on sanctions and importing Russian gas.

        Meanwhile, in the real world, Europe is importing a trickle of what they used to from Russia, pretty much every product is under sanctions and tens of billions upon billions continue to be given in aid to Ukraine.

    The EU is too slow, but it is NOT fighting against itself, esp. wrt current political climate.

    And the first pic suggests that all 3 countries present a united front against EU, which is not true either.

    And no credit to OOP who continuously puts out nonsensical (And I’m being generous here) memes.

      Its slowness (thinking of the glacial pace of sanctions here) means that it’s effectively funding Russia’s war effort then funding the opposition to in it Ukraine. Also its failure to address rising costs of living and adoption of anti-immigration rhetoric is fueling the far right, which is notoriously pro-Russian. Every other EU policy I see in the news is basically outright self-sabotage.

      Yeah true.

        it’s effectively funding Russia’s war effort more than it’s funding the opposition to it in Ukraine

        Is that what you meant? If so, that’s not true either.

    “We must all hang together, or assuredly, we will all hang separately.”

    … may the EU get their shit together.
