    Good on them for trying.

    The EU really is becoming the superpower of the world. First consumer rights, now Russia… meanwhile the US is just slowly decaying due to infighting

      The EU is systemically subordinated to the US, and is in no way a superpower. For just one example look at all the comprador regimes destroying life for European workers in favour of US capitalists.

      You got it the wrong way around.

      The EU is dying - our societies are in free-fall, wages through the floor compared to the US, tens of millions of refugees pouring in drive down labour rights and driving up housing costs, austerity-driven governments cutting police funding leading to much more street crime, high inflation and a lack of competitiveness due to the energy crisis, etc.
