A bit rich given the EU is completely failing themselves. I mean look at Italy, Austria, Germany, France.
What’s rich is that it mentions specifically China and Russia, but no word about US interference.
Completely failing is too much imo. But China and Russia are interfering heavily, especially with the far-right and far-left in Europe, and that is a constant threat.
For sure I’d say completely failing. Have you seen the rise of the RN and AFD and FPÖ who are all basically Putin assets?
Yes but I have to disagree with you as well, they are failing very very badly but the failure isn’t in the literal sense completely as there are some places it is providing an answer to these anti-democratic forces. I think the EU response to PiS helped getting them out of office (for a bit) and also Orbán is losing political weight because EU doesn’t let them.
Their effort clearly isn’t bringing enough results, I get your sentiment though but dismissing their succes isn’t helpful either.
