And The New Soviets (if I say "NS" for short, the coincidence is NOT a coincidence, see 1923-1945) want to put a STOP to it? EU bureaucratic inefficiency is about the only thing left standing between a Europe ready to stand up to Putin and Trump and the bureaucratic mess they have now. Musk and Putin (Medvedyev) should give thanks for the mess of n opposition they have now, and not a an alliance of loosely federated countries small enough to really want to do something about them.
