The problem with these tariff deals is not so much the short term bilateral outcome. It’s the acquiescing to a new order, to a way of doing international relations that is against what the EU is supposed to be. An EU that has the means to make a stand and do things differently but refuses to do so.

“We’ll solve traffic with 200 km/h tunnel skates.”

Reality: Just one short Las Vegas loop that currently takes paying passengers between three stations in chauffeur-driven Model Y Tesla cars which slow to just 15 miles per hour when the tunnels get congested.

In the real world, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. It violated the terms of ceasefire agreements ahead of a full-scale invasion in 2022. In the event of another ceasefire, the only thing that would stop history repeating is if that ceasefire had serious backing from other nations outside Ukraine.
