Often, Berlin is the main veto player when it comes to decisive EU action. But this week, for once, Berlin is a key driver of getting both the reparations loan and Mercosur over the finish line.

This time, the EU's ability to act act fully hinges on Rome's and Paris's will to jump.

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.

Also, I don't think a Brexit supporter can credibly criticise anyone else for "strangling" their economy

This, published by the "patriotic" Telegraph, seems to me pretty full-on, unabashed Putin apologia, blaming Europe for Putin's aggression. It is indistinguishable from the set of Kremlin-talking-points, that we have been hearing from his officials and proxies. ~AA
Tim Stanley Declining and neurotic Europe needs to be saved from itself The Americans might be inclined to show us more grace if our delusional posturing were not so incredibly obvious 30 Gift this article free Declining and neurotic Europe needs to be saved from itself Declining and neurotic Europe needs to be saved from itself Credit: AFP/Saul Loeb Tim Stanley Tim Stanley 15 December 2025 8:51am GMT Tim Stanley Tim Stanley 15 December 2025 8:51am GMT When Mark Rutte, head of Nato, said “we are Russia’s next target” – we meaning Europe, so Europe must prepare for war – several things ran through my head. First, what a bizarre thing to say in the middle of peace talks. Vladimir Putin justified his evil invasion by claiming the West was ganging up on Russia, so why turn his lies into reality? Second, no “we” are not the next target. There is scant evidence that Putin plans to march up the Champs-Élysées or parachute into Blackpool, and the more leaders stoke this fantasy, the weaker their argument for militarisation sounds. Finally, when did European elites decide their society was worth saving? They strangled their economies; told their children the West is evil; neglected defence. Having opened the doors to millions of migrants, who are now changing their societies from within, suddenly to care so violently about Ukraine’s borders is the dictionary definition of “too little, too late.”
