A blip?... We should continue to be vassals whose learnt helplessness leads to a perpetually embarrassing inability to protect our own territory because the Obama era Assad appeasers/Asia pivot big brainers might come back to power?
Hard pass.

Here's one I'll venture. After a 12 years of doubletapping Syrian hospitals and bombing civilians for Assad (and a few more years of slaughtering civilians in the Sahel both with and without their criminal governments), we've come to the point where being an ally of Russia makes you the guy in this meme: (sorry, Armenia)

Eh. We're all basically the old white guy picking up his coffee mug and becoming an expert, but that said, just because I'm not going to cry that one criminal is trying to destroy other criminals (and their drone-producing capabilities that Russia uses to bomb Ukraine) doesn't mean I buy any of this happy clappy democracy being brought to Iran by Bibi BS.

Because the Iraq Brain cowardice that led to a decade of Bashar slaughtering, torturing and starving Syrians with the consequences we know for Europe was so much better?

tld'r: support for Ukraine is the number 1 antifa policy in Europe, all democratic parties are welcome to help Ukraine win. Sorry your faves suck at politics.

All parties that aren't nazis. Germany has free elections. They're free to demonstrate enough political skill to offer a better alternative. You can't just whine that Merz won the elections and then reply to a milquetoast picture of some European leaders who are supporting Ukraine with a word salad about past and present policies and some fanfic about gay rights (as if the CDU has a two thirds majority and isn't in a coalition) and expect to be taken seriously.

So... the party you support was up against that and still lost? Sounds like a skill issue.

Leave him alone, he's doing his best. He's only the second worst dressed in this picture and Ukraine needs all the help it can get, even if it's from the periphery.

It is absolutely crystal clear. Putin cannot be trusted nor contained, he has violated every single contract he has ever signed, invaded Ukraine twice and crapped all over international law. He doesn't care about displomacy and doesn't want peace. NATO signed an agreement with Russia in 97: no weapons on new members territories and respected it. In 2002 Putin said he had no problem with Ukraine joining. So where did the "concerns" come from? Was he lying?

When was NATO an actual "security concern" for Russia? That's their propaganda internally, sure, but we don't have to repeat it. Early 00s NATO walked on eggshells to make sure it's not bothering Russia, there were no weapons stationed anywhere near it until it shat on international law in 2014.
The EU on the other hand is, an existential concern for the Russian regime, for Putin and the siloviki. Do you also want it gone so Russia won't feel threatened anymore?

If you mean quicker than the 2030s (which we're all hoping for the ceasefire), *quickly* joining the EU would do the opposite of making it an economic powerhouse. Joining after a 2025 ceasefire would collapse its economy in weeks.

Isn't that a question for the "European leaders" who've spent their entire careers blocking any attempt to bolster European defense?

Taxes. They're called taxes. Which should be more equitably distributed, ie rich Europeans shouldn't get to evade them in the name of competing with America for "shareholder value" and number of billionaires.
Also, while we're at it and we finally realised the anglo model is toxic, maybe The Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland should stop stealing tax revenu from their allies?

The reason "it" (member states as they're the ones who rule it) is squeamish abt everything is because Europeans keep voting for conservatives because they like to be lied to by the pater familias who can reassure them nothing has to change, they can keep buying ever bigger cars, lovingly hug their combustion engines, etc. The EPP has won every single European election this century and rules in both Councils, not exactly a bold choice.

So's Norway (with extra benefits as our one euro source of abundant gas), but we didn't have to care if it vetoed the Recovery Fund or not. The UK was similarly out of our way for it and, mercifully, will be out of our way for whatever EU reform we can eventually manage despite these tiny countries being often cowardly and petty.

They're tiny because they choose to be tiny and, having caused two world wars fuelled by nationalism, in their arrogance they think that the planet still spins around them.They forget the nation state is a 19th century invention and we're an aging, tiny continent.
As for the UK, as long as it's not within my lifetime, whatever, it can one day be part of what the EU will mutate into (a Republic). But we cannot build it with them, so thank fuck they're out of the way.
