This will be the end of EU, as the economic and energy situations continues to spiral out of control, countries will be faced with the choice of either leaving EU or committing economic suicide. The government in Italy is about to fall, war mongers in France suffered a huge defeat in legislative elections, and German government will likely fall next. This will be the pattern we'll see across Europe going forward. Governments that continue to support this war will find themselves increasingly isolated and will collapse in short order.

The government in Italy is about to fall

Yes, but it's Italy :)

It's news when Italy has a stable and functioning gıvernment.

Sure, Italy is highly volatile, but we're also seeing problems across Europe. Bojo is out in UK, Macron's party failed in parliamentary elections. Estonian government collapsed. These are just a few examples. Given what's projected economically for Europe going forward, I'd be shocked if social and political unrest didn't spread across Europe as a whole.

If you'll allow me to object again, BoJo out is probably good for Europe and the West in general.

But agree on the general premise. Europe made a big mistake by following America to war.

I certainly do think Bojo was an utter clown, but there isn't anybody likely to replace him who'd do anything different going forward. Corbyn was the only sane voice and he was ultimately sidelined.

Europe needs politicians that prioritize the interests of the people in Europe as opposed to being subservient to US geopolitical machinations.

The government in Italy is about to fall,

Happens every other Tuesday.

war mongers in France suffered a huge defeat

That's a good thing then?

German government will likely fall next

Based on what?

Why are you always such a western doomer?

The government in Italy is very much about to fall. I'll bet you anything it will collapse within a month.

That’s a good thing then?

Absolutely, the left coalition that won the parliament is the best thing to happen to France. There is finally a path towards getting rid of neoliberals in the government.

Based on what?

Based on the fact that German economy is collapsing.

Why are you always such a western doomer?

Because I'm minimally informed about what's happening in the world? So far everything I've said will happen is happening.
