  • Democracy I think. They're having an election soon. Also put rules in place for all EU members on how to safeguard democracy, which has been happening for some time.

    I still have hope for Hungary.

  • I mean it both is and isn't. It does help small countries from 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 or two bad actors mess things up.

    Individual countries can still act though, it just won't be an EU coordinated thing.

    Edit: Damn autocorrect.

  • Hungary says it will block a key EU loan to Ukraine until Russian oil shipments resume

    Jump

  • Still need to negotiate and sign deals. It's not a quick process and some counties might want to change some things.

    All in all it'll be very complicated and messy. Not really realistic tbh, but a fun thought experiment.

  • The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating

  • But then the problem isn't landlords, it's policy.

    Put the blame where it should be, the people voting for stupid policy.

  • Pentagon aggressively lobbies EU against Buy European weapons push

    Jump

  • Not sure they do have a shut off, but modern weapon systems are so complex that they don't have to have that. Just stop supporting them with updates, material and support and most will be useless in a very short time.

  • The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating

    Jump

  • Yeah, if its the only option then it's bad, but the convenience isn't too be underestimated. I rented when I was in Uni, didn't even consider buying at that point. Didn't want to commit that much money to a city i didn't know if I wanted to live in.

  • Is it me? Am I the offending user?

    I don't think there's enough content on lemmy yet to ban news outlets based on ideological purity of the owners, and its doubt there will ever be.

    I think it's a good enough source and should not be banned.
