Divide and conquer is working well it seems.

There is no conspiracy, sorry.

It is not. I know the media has pushed this ragebait to get engagement from you, but you can literally read the official policy document.

I have read the document, it certainly implies that the EU is a problem and that the US should support 'patriotic' parties in pulling away from it.

It's a short read (30 pages, large font) so it's well worth looking at.

The EU is not Europe. I never see any pro-EU sentiment anywhere besides on HN and Reddit. Talk to Europeans and they hate the EU and see it as an oppressive foreign power. Except for the Germans.

> Talk to Europeans and they hate the EU and see it as an oppressive foreign power.

Your framing is off, I'm afraid.

Across Europe, most people see the EU as more good than bad, especially compared to the alternative of countries acting alone. At the same time, support is often cautious rather than enthusiastic.

Which Europeans have you "talked" to? Discord and twitter don't count. People moan about the EU like they moan about their own national government.

Opinion polls on actually leaving the EU show a minority in favour. Most Europeans saw Brexit play out and realise sticking the finger up at your neighbours is not a winning strategy.

Spanish guy here: no, we don't hate the EU, quite the opposite. Please stop feeding on right-wing propaganda that wants to destroy us.

Maybe you should get out of your right-wing bubble.

- EU approval among its citizens hits record high as security fears grow, poll shows (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-approval-among-its-c...)

- Nearly three quarters of EU citizens (74%) say that, taking everything into account, their country has benefited from being a member of the EU. (https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/3378)

You have no idea what you're talking about. Stop generalising. You don't know what Europeans think at all "except for the Germans"
