      Nice statistic. You made it up yourself or did someone help you?

      "52% of Europeans tend to trust the EU, the highest result since 2007. In another 18 year-record, 52% of Europeans say they trust the European Commission. At the same time, 43% of EU citizens continue to have a positive image of the EU, while 38% have a neutral image and 18% have a negative image of the EU and 62% of EU citizens are also optimistic about the future of the EU. "

          VdL is as elected just as any prime minister in a regular parliamentary democracy. Her Commission can also be voted out of office anytime by the directly elected EP.

            So no citizen vote ? Seem like oligarchy to me.

              So you support the destruction of the member states as well? Most of them are parliamentary democracies as well.

                  I have no idea what you are trying to say here. Nor do I have the faintest idea what it has to do with my comment above.

                  So you are saying that the EU is controlled by Germany, yet Germany is the one who has to give? At least get your arguments consistent if you don’t want look like someone merely repeating Russia’s talking points.

                    Look at the eu/us export treaty that got made recently. It s motlsy to save car export toward the us. Now tell me which european car brand u see in the us ? Now tell me which european car brand u never saw in the us or just country that doesn’t have that industry.

                  Yes, the UK was one of those countries who “give more than they get”. Look where they are now. Why? Because the assholes who argued that they “give more than they get” conveniently forgot to mention all the advantages of being in the EU that are not directly money.

                  Please look further than the arguments of your favorite politician.

          They always call themselves critics, yet commonly demand its functional destruction. How does your “organic opposition” differ in its outcome from what Russia and the US proganda demands? Elaborate.

            Cause my interest and country interest diverge from eu interest???

            My organic opposition is simply the defense of my interest .

            Which happen cause the eu doesn’t defend mine but rather German and globalist agenda which doesn’t suit my country.

              Not a single concrete argument, just the “Its all just a German Empire” Russian conspiracy theory.

              Come back when you can answer my question from before.
