It's sad that Europeans have to suffer under stupid leadership choices made by their leaders.

[afr0ck]

Europe must regain its independence from the US. Only after that, Europe can defend its interests in the best way possible.

[smsm42]

I remember certain US President warning the Europe this kind of thing may happen, some years ago. And some Europeans very independently and openly laughing at him. I wonder if they are still laughing. I also wonder whether their electorate still think they were defending their interests in the best way possible. I also wonder when and how exactly US forced the dependent Europe into rebuilding their energy structure in a way that led to the current conundrum.

I fully agree. We need a full decoupling from the US. We must protect our economy and our interests, through out every single American soldier from European soil and make sure that those brain-washing machinery Hollywood/Netflix are being banned and replaced.

We are in this mess because of the US. Let us not forget that they are not our friends, but our enemy.

Europe is sitting on the needle of russian gas/oil. Where is US here?

[nradov]

Yes the US government agrees, and has been urging European countries to take responsibility for their own defense instead of depending on the US security umbrella. And the EU probably should have done more to compromise on UK demands in order to prevent Brexit.

Which decision are we talking about?

That the UK doesn't import Russian gas, but is impacted by other countries that do which has increased the wholesale cost?

[legulere]

The current problems of only half the nuclear power plants in France working and gas shortage can hardly be blamed on current leadership.

[Ekaros]

How can the gas problem not be entirely blamed on the current leadership? I have not heard of too many elections in recent times. Though, UK did change their prime minister... But still the same party and parliament.

[strzzz]

It's true speaking about long term leadership. German french and uk leaders (together with most others in west and central europe) were long nurturing russia and agreeing to be sit on the needle of its energy supplies. Now we have consequenses. Hangover so to say...

8 in 10 europeans agree on european leadership in current situation agains rashist ruzzia according to the newest poll. Don't waste your time. Slava Ukraini!
